Fear vs. Guidance--How to Tell the Difference
A colleague yesterday mentioned that she was feeling an uneasiness about a decision she was trying to make on whether or not to go into a business venture with someone.
She was unsure about whether the uneasiness was her intuition telling her this deal wasn't in her best interest, or whether it was her mind creating doubt about moving forward with something that was a stretch for her.
I think we all struggle with this from time to time and in varying degrees. Most people haven't learned how to tune into and trust their intuitive nature. Rather than relying on that "sixth sense"—the part that is able to connect to the higher consciousness or vibration of things—we try to rely too much on logic and reasoning. But logic and reasoning are confined by what's "known" or "seen" and there is so much more to this world than what can be observed or "proven." Quantum physics, energy psychology, and many other advancing fields of study and thought are showing us this.
I'm learning to tune more into my body and where/how I'm feeling things. Identifying and recognizing the subtle energies and placement of these energies in our bodies is one way to begin to discern inner guidance from mental reasoning; intuition from fear. As you pay attention more to how you're feeling and where you're feeling things in relation to decisions you're making and then note how the decision you made turned out, you can begin to discern what feelings you had with each and learn what feelings were related to each type of decision.
I encourage you to start to do this "attuning process" to assist you in making decisions with more certainty and peace. There are also other methods for tuning more into the intuitive forces for decision-making.
A really good book to read on this subject is Power vs. Force by David Hawkins. It teaches techniques like dowsing, penduluming, and muscle testing to tap into that power. It's a very interesting read in many aspects (especially the part about his uncanny success during WWII in finding Japanese submarines in the middle of the ocean by dowsing their locations on a map).
I'd love to hear about ways you test out these techniques—or if you have already had experiences with using any of them. Stop back to the blog and add your comments.
