Your Inner Guidance System
“The only real valuable thing is intuition.”
~ Albert Einstein
Every person is born into this world with a fully functioning inner guidance system. By paying attention to this inner guidance system, our lives spontaneously begin to “work”. The challenge is that from the moment we are born, the external world distracts and entrains us not to pay attention to our inner guidance. Re-prioritizing your life to honor the wisdom of your inner guidance system will lead you to greater and greater levels of health, peace, happiness, and success.
Your inner guidance system or intuition informs you whether your thoughts, words, and actions are in alignment or out of alignment with the flow of Life. When you are IN alignment, you are on the path towards or already living the life of your dreams. Your external life situation evolves in synchronicity from one opportunity to the next.
When you are OUT of alignment, nothing “feels right”. Even though you make logical decisions, you experience disappointment and resistance at every turn. Or maybe your life appears to “work” from the outside, but you’re still experiencing a subtle feeling of discontent. These negative feelings are really blessings in disguise, meant to alert you to the fact that you’re off-track in some area of your life.
The nature of the Universe isn’t logic; it’s mystery. Mystery is the only path to follow if you want to lead a magical life. To live in this way, your decisions can’t be made by your logical mind. When you overcome the fear of uncertainty, you embrace the synchronicity of the unknown. A life lived in mystery is not a threat; it’s a life of magic and unlimited possibility.
The Emotional Scale:
The quickest way to become “in-tune” with your inner guidance system is to begin to pay attention to how you feel. Your emotions indicate whether you are moving toward or away from all that you yearn to experience in your external life. The scale of emotion ranges from despair to bliss (plus every emotion in between). It’s important to note that an instantaneous quantum leap from the lowest levels of emotion to the highest levels, is not likely and also not advised. Because dramatic changes are difficult to sustain, it’s better to work your way up the scale of emotion by choosing slightly better feeling thoughts that offer a feeling of relief. For more information, I highly recommend the book The Astonishing Power of Your Emotions by Abraham-Hicks. This book gives a full description of your inner guidance system and also incorporates a variety of exercises that will help you put it into practice.
Yes versus No in your body:
The intelligence of the entire Universe lives in every cell of your body. Your inner guidance is continually tapped in to this intelligence and it registers in your physical body as a feeling. You can experience these feelings by discerning the inner feeling of “yes” versus the inner feeling of “no”. Dr David R Hawkins discusses the principle that the physical body can make this distinction in his book, Power vs Force. Dr Hawkins uses applied kinesiology (muscle testing) to distinguish “truth versus falsehood” within the intelligence of the body. You can practice discerning yes from no in your body by becoming still, then asking “show me a yes”. Pause, notice the feelings in your body, then ask “show me a no”. I perceive a “yes” in the area of my heart and a “no” in my in the area of stomach. Along with the physical sensation, I experience a simultaneous perception in my mind of either expansion (“yes”) or stagnation (“no”).
It takes a brave person to favor their inner guidance system over the external influence of society. Find the courage to follow your inner guidance, and you’ll be led from a life of mediocrity, into a life of magic.

[...] For as long as I can remember, I’ve enjoyed spending as much time as possible by myself. As a child, I disliked school so much that I dropped out at the earliest opportunity, and completed my high school diploma at home via independent study. After college I managed to score I job I enjoyed, but I spent a lot of time yearning to find a way to work from home. I finally actualized that dream in 2004, when I started my own home-based business. I now spend a lot of time at home alone, and I’ve found it to be extremely satisfying. My environment is intensely peaceful; and I have the freedom to do what I want with the added comfort of being my own boss. My serene surroundings allow me to do a lot of meditating, thinking, learning, and general personal development without any deterring “input” from other people. When I spend a lot of time alone, I feel I am more able to listen to and act on my own inner guidance. [...]
