...continued from Listening to Your Inner Guide, Part 4
Our inner guide is our connection with God and therefore our connection with all knowledge and peace.
Here are some ways to strengthen your process of inner listening:
1. Still your mind. Let go of your ideas of what you THINK you need, and CREATE a clean slate in your mind, so that you can hear your SOUL.
2. Listening becomes more difficult when we want a certain answer or confirmation. We end up closing our minds to receiving the REAL answer that is right for us. Many of our questions are just calls for confirmation of what we already believe.
3. God's will is not dependent on our ability to hear, act, or listen. Instead of making judgments about what should be happening, the only real request becomes "Show us the blessing or the lesson."
4. You might not get the answer you think you want, but it will be the right one. Be patient. The answer will come at the right time. As Spiritualists, we often say DIVINE RIGHT TIMING and DIVINE RIGHT ORDER. This concept can be tough to swallow. Especially if we don't want to hear that we have to wait.
5. The true inner voice is always known to those who desire the truth. We will recognize the truth because we are at peace. (I always pray for the people on my healing list...that they seek the highest and best and that they find it. Here's a secret: If you seek it, you will find it.)
6. We don't have to ask our inner guide for permission to do absolutely everything. That would make it more about fear than trust. Constant questioning may be just a lack of trust and avoiding personal responsibility.
7. Assume that your inner guide is always on duty and will let you know if you need to do something. Feel safe and secure in the knowledge that you are being taken care of.
8. Write down the guidance that you receive. You may start to notice patterns of fear that you are breaking through or patterns of guidance.
At first, you may see listening as a way to get answers to a problem that is troubling you, and that's okay. Next, you will listen because of all the wonderful insights this experience gives you, and because it offers a path of peace and joy. I hope that you all realize how intuitive and wonderful you all are.
