When You Ask The Guidance Will Be There
Tuesday, April 17, 2007 at 08:29AM I have been feeling very energized lately because life feels like it is flowing nicely. I feel like my intuition has been very active and that guidance is always there when I need it. I wanted to talk today about intuition and our sense of knowing. I have come to realize that there is in you and I this available higher knowing that is always there when we ask. My experience has been that when I feel something is the right thing to do, and I feel it clearly then I know it is the right thing to do. The more I trust my intuitive knowing the more it is available to me. The more I go with this inner knowing the more I create the results I want. This feels good and I want to keep growing that trust in the part of me that does know.
I want to help you also grow the intuitive knowing and your receptivity to guidance. Here are some ideas I want to share. I have learned to trust my intuition by playing with it. I remember when I was a grad student and living in San Francisco and I would guess when the next bus would come to take me across town. If I paid attention to my sense of inner knowing, I got to the stop in time to catch the bus, if not I often just missed it or waited a long time. I often guess who is calling on the phone or what is in the surprise package I receive. I have fun with tapping into my inner knowing because that keeps me light and open. Kind of like, “angels can fly because they take themselves so lightly.” I have found the lighter I am about life, the more I know and can open to the flow. That little rhyme came from being open to letting my hands do the writing.
It has been my experience over and over again that there is always guidance when I am open to receiving it. I have another story about asking for guidance and how open you need to be to get your message from wherever it may come from. My friend Jonathan had been considering a trip to India during the Christmas holidays and had asked for guidance so he could decide whether to stay home for the holidays or go to India. He said to the universe I want to know what would be the best for me to do in the next week? On Sunday the last day of that next week Jonathan was channel surfing and came upon a TV ministry and for some odd reason he actually stop to watched for a few minutes. He never watches those programs so he found himself curious why he was feeling it was right to stop. In just a minute he knew why. The Minister was talking about why it was important to go to India, an unusually topic for this kind of program. Jonathan was now fully attentive to what this minister was saying. Then the part that gives me goose bumps every time. The minister then looked directly into the camera and said, Jonathan, you need to go to India. WOW if that isn’t clear message from the universe, I don’t know what is.
If you ask, you can know. If you learn to listen deeply you will always be guided. If you call on the universe to show you the way, you will be shown.
It is so much easier when you open to the aid of the universe. You don’t have to do it alone anymore.

Hello Joesph,
Thank you for the post. I also love to play with my inner 'guidance system', and have tried various ways of tapping into it. I like to empty my mind (a challenge at times, I have to admit!), ask a specific question, and be conscious and aware of the thoughts that drift in and out. This works well, as the answers invariably come.
I have found at times that the Universe can also be very forceful in responding! On one occasion I met with someone who was offering me a job. I was delighted to have the offer, though it wasn't exactly what I wanted. As I thought about my answer, I has 24 hours of 'challenges', from nearly slicing off the end of my finger, losing my mobile telephone, and nearly losing my wallet. It seems that the universe was telling me this job could seriously affect my health, wealth and communication skills, so I declined. Order was restored!
Thank you for your kind comments on my blog. It is great that there are people out there putting some fantastically postive energy out there. We all need it!

Wonderful article, and I love that quote 'angels fly because they take themselves lightly' - it's on a Baron Baptiste Yoga DVD I sometimes practice to and it always jolts me into the need to release and have fun.
I liked the way you described playing with your intuition in order to strengthen it (or rather, strengthen your ability to connect with it.)
I too feel the flow much like you described, it's just an internal knowing, and the more I trust it and go with it, the more aligned I feel in my life.
Much joy,
Kara-Leah
Thank you for the sharing Kara-Leah. I enjoy the play of intuition and living lightly,
Joseph
Great post, Joseph! I have always been able to trust my intuitions. I have found that I can ask for a specific sign and I will receive it. It's a wondrous thing!
