Hello, my name is Idan (Nissim) Baraness. I’m a self-growth advocate, and I’m here to share my journey of self-empowerment: learning to raise low self-esteem, choose authenticity over people-pleasing, and take empowered, courageous responsibility over a victim mentality. Through my experiences, I found my way back to myself, rediscovered my personal power, and transformed my life for the better.
Growing up as a highly sensitive child felt more like a curse than a blessing until about ten years ago when I realized that my sensitivity is actually a gift. This sensitivity allows me to perceive more of reality and sense the energetic fields and frequencies around me. I’ve always been drawn to psychology, spirituality, and mysticism, though they were often in the background of my life. My deep experience with energies and unseen worlds began with an Ayahuasca journey in early 2015. Ayahuasca, a hallucinogenic plant medicine used by Amazonian tribes, allowed me to tap into new talents I hadn’t yet recognized. Initially, I thought these experiences were just aftereffects of the ceremony, but I soon realized I was sensing my own latent sensitivity, which had yet to be fully activated.
As I continued learning, I came to understand the importance of our energy fields and main energy centers, or Chakras, beyond theoretical ideas in books or articles—I could truly feel their impact on my behavior and well-being. Concepts like self-esteem, willpower, and confidence became related to energies that could be worked with and transformed. While I value psychology, I’ve often felt that the energetic or spiritual side was missing. For example, grounding techniques linked to the base energy center can be invaluable tools for building confidence and focus, complementing other therapeutic practices.
Over the last few years, I’ve also learned how essential it is to understand our personal stories and their impact on our authentic selves and energy fields. Connecting with our soul and facing our deepest shadows and fears requires courage but brings profound joy, freedom, and power.
Please note that the information I share is based on personal experience and my understanding of energy work, not scientific or psychological authority. My goal is to provide insights that may inspire or resonate with some of you.
Allow me to share my learnings and current practices with you. Wishing you all Love, Abundance, and Joy!
