How to Reconnect With Your True Self
Laura Corbelli | JUN 1
A few days ago, I found some old photographs (so old that they look out of focus with the new technology😂 as you can see in the one I chose for this post ).
They were taken more than ten years ago, and as I looked at them, I felt something move inside me.
In those photographs, I was guiding circles, offering sound healing sessions, and creating spaces where people could slow down, breathe, heal their wounds, integrate their aspects, and reconnect with themselves. I could see the joy in my eyes, the passion I felt for the work, and the deep desire I had to help people come home to who they truly are.
As I sat with those images, I smile as I recognize that the work I am doing today is not very different from what I was doing back then.
Over the years, I have learned new skills, studied yoga more deeply, explored different healing modalities, and walked through many seasons of growth and transformation. Life has taught me lessons that no training ever could. There have been moments of expansion, moments of doubt, moments of clarity, and moments when I felt completely lost.
Yet through all of it, one thing has remained the same.
I have always been searching for my true self, for a deeper connection and loving relationship with myself, and for the freedom to express my truth. Even during the years when I focused solely on my own healing and growth, I found myself in conversations where people were looking for answers, clarity, and guidance. Somehow, that passion for supporting others on their journey has always been present.
And at the end, that passion for my mission on this earth has always been there.
Looking at those photographs was emotional because they reminded me of something else as well. They reminded me of a part of myself that I spent years trying to silence.
There were times when I felt so uncomfortable in living a life that I knew wasn’t mine, but still, I didn’t know how else to be in society in any other ways, and for a while I didn’t want to participate in society at all!
I tried different jobs, explored different ways of living, and moved through many states of consciousness, but I never abandoned my inner journey.
Yet no matter how far I walked, I always found myself returning to the same place.
I came back to the voice, sounds, yoga.
Even when I was simply having a coffee with a friend, the conversation would often take a deeper turn. Without trying, I would create a space where people felt safe enough to open up, reflect, and experience a shift in awareness.
So no matter what you experienced, what you choose and what you do.
(if you don’t know what dharma is, just to make it simple, is your mission for this lifetime)
You can ignore it for a while. You can distract yourself. You can convince yourself that another path would be easier or make more sense. But the parts of you that are meant to be expressed never disappear. They remain quietly present beneath the surface, waiting for the moment when you are ready to listen again.
They are not disconnected because something is wrong with them. They are disconnected because they have spent years learning how to be everything except themselves. Learning how to survive into this world.
From a very young age, we learn how to adapt. We learn how to meet expectations, how to fit into roles, and how to become who we think we need to be in order to be loved, accepted, or successful. In doing so, we often lose touch with our authentic self.
We stop listening to our inner voice.
We stop expressing what we truly feel.
We stop trusting what we know deep within.
The result is a feeling that many people know all too well.
You wake up, go through your routines, fulfill your responsibilities, and do all the things you are supposed to do, but there is a quiet longing inside you that never fully goes away.
My own journey of self-discovery has taught me that reconnecting with your true self is not about becoming someone new. It is not about fixing yourself, improving yourself, or transforming into a better version of yourself.
It is about remembering.
It is about remembering the parts of yourself that you left behind.
It is about remembering what brings you alive.
It is about remembering the truth that exists beneath the conditioning, the fear, and the expectations.
For me, one of the greatest doorways into that remembering was the voice.
When I speak about the voice, I do not only mean singing. I mean expression. I mean vibration. I mean allowing what lives inside of you to have a place in the world.
Through sound, singing, chanting, and vocal exploration, I discovered parts of myself that could never have been reached through thinking alone. There were emotions that needed to be felt rather than analyzed. There were truths that needed to be expressed rather than understood intellectually.
The voice has been the bridge between my human and something deeper within me and higher at the same time.
It helped me reconnect with myself.
It helped me trust myself.
It helped me express myself more freely.
This is why voice, sound healing, yoga, breath, and meditation remain such important parts of the work I offer today. They are not simply techniques or practices. They are pathways that help us listen more deeply to ourselves.
Over the years, I have worked with many people who felt lost, stuck, disconnected, or unsure of who they were. While every journey is unique, I have noticed that the longing underneath is often the same.
People want to feel at home within themselves.
They want to trust their own voice.
They want the freedom to express who they truly are.
They want to reconnect with the authentic self that has been hidden beneath years of expectations and self-doubt.
This is exactly why I create the spaces I offer today. Everything I teach has first been lived, questioned, explored, and integrated within myself. I do not guide people from theory alone; I guide them from experience. Having walked this path myself, I can support you with presence, awareness, and practices tailored to your unique journey.
I know what it feels like to question your path.
I know what it feels like to silence parts of yourself.
I know what it feels like to lose connection with your inner voice and wonder where your sense of purpose has gone.
And I also know what it feels like when that connection begins to return.
I know the relief that comes from no longer fighting yourself.
I know the freedom that comes from expressing what is true.
I know the peace that comes from finally allowing yourself to be who you are and how beautiful life can be from this new state of consciousness.
When I look at those photographs now, I do not see a younger version of myself doing something different.
I see someone following the same thread that has guided me throughout my entire life.
A thread that has led me through every challenge, every lesson, every moment of doubt, and every moment of discovery, every moment of deep connection, expansion and awareness.
And that is what reconnecting with your true self is really about.
There is nothing missing.
There is nothing wrong with you.
Everything you are looking for is already within you, waiting to be heard, felt, and recognized.
The voice inside you has never stopped speaking.
The question is not whether it is there.
The question is whether you are ready to listen.
Because your truth already knows the way.
I'm happy to share below a 30 min yoga class in which you can start working on your throat chakra.
