inner being
Core of existence
Inner being refers to a person's essential self—the core of thoughts, feelings, and identity beneath surface appearances or social roles.
The phrase suggests a deeper, more authentic layer of existence: Meditation helps me connect with my inner being.
It often appears in spiritual or psychological contexts, pointing to something permanent beneath the changing circumstances of life.
