inner guide
Voice within you
An inner guide is a sense of internal wisdom or intuition that helps direct decisions and behavior.
The term appears in spiritual and self-help contexts, where it may refer to conscience, gut feeling, or a deeper self that knows what's right: Trust your inner guide.
Some traditions personify it as a voice or presence accessible through meditation or reflection.
