Now, are you going to HEED your Inner Guidance?

Once you have gotten still and truly listened, how can you discern if what you are listening to is really coming from your Inner Guide? The main thing to check for is how that guidance feels to you. Guidance that is critical, judgmental, constrictive, discouraging, blaming, shaming, or negative in any way is NOT from your Inner Guide.

What you will notice with true guidance is that upon hearing it, you relax, feel comforted, resonate with it, feel a ‘ring of truth’ in it. It feels loving, supportive, compassionate, empathic, expansive. In other words, it feels good.

So once you have discerned that this is true guidance you are accessing, then what? Are you prepared to act on it? Really put your money where your mouth is spiritually? Oftentimes, ego gets in the way and wants to block your willingness to be vulnerable, be loving, compassionate, empathic with yourself and others. So how do you get that out of your way so that you can heed and act upon these precious messages, and in the process deepen your connection with yourself and others?

The process I have developed called “Quantum Questioning” will help you to cut through ego’s limiting thoughts and beliefs and position yourself solidly in the higher thinking of your Inner Guide as it comes through to you. In this process you examine and challenge the limiting thoughts and beliefs…the ones I call 3D because they are limited to the 3 dimiensions we’re most familiar with. When you are ready to change your thoughts and open to higher consciousness, you move your awareness into a multi-dimensional Universe in which you are a multi-dimensional being who can easily accept thoughts that defy ego’s logic.

Let me give you an example. A client of mine has a friend, a dear friend, to whom she routinely reacts with annoyance and irritability and judgment. Her ego totally supports and justifies this. She, however, never feels good or comfortable with this kind of response to her friend. Her Inner Guide urges her to see the person underneath the behavior, to feel the true love she has for her friend, to allow the natural appreciation she feels for this friend, to acknowledge her friend's sweetness and love for her, to understand on a deeper level that while her friend may behave differently from her, they are connected at a heart and soul level and that what she really wants is peace in this relationship. Just hearing this kind of guidance softens and begins to release her annoyance, judgment and irritation. And allows her to experience love and peace with her friend. She has learned to recognize quickly when she is moving into judgment and ask for guidance immediately. Why? Because she knows that she has the power to access peace and appreciation in place of annoyance and irritation.

Using the quantum question WHAT IF…? to challenge the barriers to accepting and acting on your true guidance will move you through those obstacles quickly and allow you to move your thinking into action in your life.

WHAT IF I’m wrong about my friend and this behavior?
WHAT IF our relationship is based in Love and Love alone?
WHAT IF I’m safe no matter how much I open my heart?
WHAT IF my friend's behavior is giving me a chance to evolve into a more compassionate person?
WHAT IF my only job is to Love?
Etc, etc., etc.

You get the idea…..try it for yourself and see.

I have developed an entire online course that takes you through this process of Quantum Questioning with the ultimate goal of eliminating unnecessary suffering and increasing your happiness. It’s called Transform with WHAT IF…? and will become available later this year.

In the meantime, be a braveheart and heed what your Inner Guide offers you. Act on it and change your life!

See you soon.
