Developing your ability to listen within is probably the best gift you can give to yourself - and to the world.
Each one of us has access to this Inner Guidance, but like a muscle that hasn't been exercised for a long time, we need to practise and develop our intuitive abilities.
Your Inner Guidance is a bit like a Heavenly life coach, relationship counselor, career advisor and spiritual mentor all rolled into one. It can even be a personal shopper, saving you time, money and all the hassle of trying to 'work things out'!
Most of all it is a source of comfort and support, like an inner lighthouse that keeps shining, even in the darkest of times. This guide can help us to make the best choices, and make them from the highest perspective, so they work for everyone.
This internal voice is often called the Holy Spirit, the Friend or Inner Wisdom. It does not matter what you call it - but it will really help your life if you listen to it!
We all have continual access to guidance - about anything & everything. There is no question, no problem & no decision that is either too big or too insignificant to ask for help about. Your Guide knows that there are no small decisions.
Sadly most of us are not using this awesome resource to its fullest. Many of us are not using it at all!
Partly it's because for most of us the words intuition or Higher Mind have a 'fluffy' ring to them. We are used to making our own decisions, so the idea of asking for advice doesn't occur to us.
At a deeper level of our mind, we are attached to being independent, hard working human 'doings', who don't want to hear anyone else's opinion of how best to proceed through life. The expression: 'Don't confuse me with the facts, I know what I'm doing!' springs to mind.
It's a great shame because life becomes amazingly sweet and easy when we ask for help from something much more powerful and inspired than our 'logical' mind. 'A Course in Miracles' has a lyrical description of the process of opening to guidance:
|
When you have learned how to decide with God, all decisions become as easy and as right as breathing. There is no effort, and you will be led as gently as if you were being carried down a quiet path in summer.

I don't know about you, but I reckon that sounds much more relaxing than trying to work things out!!
If you'd like the be more 'in the flow' and would like to hear and feel yourself being gently guided, give me a call!
