Your mind knows only some things. Your inner voice, your instinct, knows everything. If you listen to what you know instinctively, it will always lead you down the right path.
Henry Winkler
Today is Practice Being Psychic Day…my translation is Listen to My Inner Voice Day. Life has been throwing us a lot of disruption to what we used to call “Normal”. Now I am not even sure what “normal” looks like. At every turn we seem to face something different from the way we “normally” had done things. Even Halloween this last weekend looked much different in the midst of COVID-19.
But there is something that we should not change, unless we are to lean into it more than we have in the past.
That thing is listening to our inner voice. A distinction may be important here. By inner voice I am not referring to the inner self critical dialog that attempts to turn a breach in our self confidence against us. I am referring to the inner knowing, your instincts, your gut feelings, the internal compass that confidently navigates you in the direction of your best self.
If you do not have a confident sense of your inner psychic try this exercise:
- Think of something that you know to be true. You may have evidence of it, but you do not have irrefutable proof of it. For me, I know the universe conspires to provide for me and bring opportunities into my pathway. People with different perspectives may call “the universe” different things and may want to debunk my whole theory. I don’t care.
- When you think this thought, what is your inner experience? Where in your body do you feel it? How do you feel emotionally? For me, when I know the universe will provide for me, there is a warmth, a comfort, and an internal knowing that eases my anxieties. There often is even an excitement, like I can’t wait to see what happens next.
Today Practice Being Psychic and Listen to Your Inner Voice. Maybe you are being led to reach out to a friend, complete a project to create space for a new opportunity, or to just check in with yourself. I want to encourage you to follow that instinct. If you are unsure, use the exercise above to learn to listen to your inner guidance. Today I wrote this post. Partly for me to remember to tap into my inner navigation system and partly to be of service to you.
