More and more I’m curious about and fascinated by how I make decisions. I’ve noticed that when I ask a question for clarity, I receive one answer from my head and something different when I listen to my heart and body wisdom.
Is that my intuition, a hunch, a gut feeling or my Divine guidance? Really good question. When I remember to pause, take a breath and listen within, I experience clarity about my choice. I believe that acting on that guidance (whether you feel that it is internal, from your higher self or the Divine presence).
Sometimes I simply ask, “What is it I need to know or understand?” Open ended questions often result in very simple two word guidance, such as, “Slow Down.”
I trust and act on my body wisdom, I listen to my body. I have heard that our bodies are our subconscious mind, so we are accessing greater wisdom by listen to our bodies.
Muscle Testing – Ask Your Body Wisdom
Have you heard about Muscle Testing? I’m curious about this practice to ask questions. It is suggested that we can loop our thumb and index finger together and link the thumb and index finger of the opposite hand through the first fingers. You might ask, ”Show me yes.” And the fingers are strong. Ask, “Show me no.” and the fingers separate.
Then you can ask a yes or no question and test with the finger strength. For example: Is this supplement healthy for me? Then you might test the guidance by taking the supplement and seeing the results.
Another way that I practice accessing my guidance is by writing a question and then writing, stream of consciousness, allowing the information to flow. You might also write the question with your dominant hand and write the answer with you non-dominant hand. Perhaps this accesses your subconscious mind or body wisdom.
One More Thought for Today…
One more thought for today – one of the reasons I love to practice meditation is because when we are more relaxed, we are smarter and make better self-care decisions.
May you see if looking within might support you, rather than only looking outside for clarity and guidance and make decisions.
