Are you asking for guidance when it is most needed.  You may know that you receive it even when it’s most expected.


 

When I ask for guidance, I receive it.  Sometimes I receive it in unexpected ways, but I always receive it.
Some people hear voices if they?re clairaudient.  Other people see pictures or symbols if they?re clairvoyant.  Still others are clairsentient and simply have a knowingness or a strong feeling.  One woman I know has a strong sense of smell that guides her.  The truth is that all of our senses are tuned in to receive higher channels of wisdom and knowledge, and our bodies are perfect receptors. 
We may also receive guidance from synchronicities in our lives ? those chance coincidences that aren?t really coincidences at all.  It?s my general rule of thumb to pay attention and take action if I hear or see anything 3 times.  If the guidance is strong, I take immediate action.
The question is: Are you asking for help and guidance?  Are you expecting to receive it and then paying attention?  When you receive guidance, do you act on it or do you ignore it out of the fear and doubt habit?
As we quiet the chatter in our minds and relax into the certainty that the guidance, clarity, and direction we desire is present, we are in a receptive state.  When we receive the guidance and have the faith to act on it, we are affirming to the Universe that we are paying attention.  The more we listen, the more we respond, the more we receive.  The more grateful we are for the guidance we receive, the quicker the clarity comes.
Like any muscle, the more you use it, the stronger it gets, and the more confident you become in your ability.  The more you know you have a direct connection with higher wisdom, the more calmly, confidently, joyfully, and successfully you can move forward in your life. 
If you?re new to this practice, here are some techniques I suggest to begin: 
1. Sit in a quiet place with your eyes closed and begin to breathe deeply.  If any thoughts of the outside world come into your mind, just allow them to drift and float away and refocus on your breathing. 
2. Become clear on what you choose: perfect health, money, love, or help with a specific dilemma.  Remember, nothing is too small and anything that is distracting you from living a life of love and joy is significant.  Say silently something like this:  ?I ask for your help with this situation.  Please give me the clarity, direction, and guidance that I need so that I may be the person I came here to be.  My mind and my life are full and busy, and I?m new at this, so please make the guidance really clear and bring it to me in a way that I absolutely will recognize it.  Thank you.?
3.  When you are complete, hold the thought that your guidance ? the answer you requested ? is coming to you in a wonderful way.  Before you go to sleep at night, repeat the process. 
4. It?s often helpful, too, to write out your request on a piece of paper and put it underneath your pillow.  As you drift off to sleep, allow yourself to focus on the thought that the entire Universe is working on your behalf to bring you the perfect answer to your request, and that you are ready, willing, and able to receive.
5. As you move throughout the day, expect the answers to come and pay attention.  When you receive the guidance you?ve requested, take action immediately even if it doesn?t make sense at first.  Then, become grateful for the guidance you?ve received and celebrate how wonderful it is that the Universe cares about your every need and desire.
You are a precious being with great gifts to share, fully supported by the Universe to live a life that is rich, wonderful, joyful, loving and FUN!  You are in this wonderful playground of life, and these resources are here for you to use to help you create the life you love to live with great ease and flow.

We have a sense of who we are, and we tie that to the things around us. This causes us pain. Learn to recognize what you are not, and to suffer less.


 

Self-identity? Who are you really? We identify with many things, but this is just a process in our minds. In fact, this identification causes us to suffer.
Your favorite basketball team loses, and you suffer as though YOU lost. Your car is damaged and it feels like YOU are hurt. Somebody attacks who they think you are, and it is as though they could actually reach inside and poke at your true self. Is there a way to escape this unecessary drama and pain?
Perhaps, if you can see what you are not. Seeing this clearly can free you from much of the suffering that comes from identification. Try this simple meditation.
A Meditation On Self Identity
Get comfortable in a quiet place. Close your eyes, relax and take several deep breaths, breathing through your nose. Let your breathing fall into a natural pattern. Allow tension to drain from your body.
Now begin by asking: Where am I? What am I? Who am I? Let these questions sit for a moment in your mind.
Be aware of your body. Think of your leg. If you lost it, would you cease to exist? Are you your leg? Go through the parts of your body, asking “Am I here?” “Is this my self?”
Open your eyes and look around you. Are you those things? Maybe it you feel pain when your favorite chair breaks, as though it were you. But you’re not that chair. Ask yourself which of these things you own are you. “Am I this?”
Close your eyes and say your name. Do you feel a sense of identity?  What if you had no name? Ask “Am I really…” and say your name again. What’s the honest answer? If this one is tough, say “I am…” and insert any other name. Notice how when you call yourself by another name, you feel differently. Your name-identity is a collection of ideas, something seen differently by you and others.
As feelings arise, ask “Am I this fear?… this pain, desire, sadness, pleasure, anger? Your feelings are not you – they just pass through you. Your clothes, your body, your reputation – none of it is your true self-identity.
Do this meditation for twenty minutes, then take a deep breath and get up. Notice if you feel different – less worried or less attached to things, feelings and thoughts. Do the meditation as often as necessary, to remind you of what you are not.
