How Your Soul Can Help You Make Tough Decisions: A Simple Way To Connect With Your Higher Self

Working as an intuitive and therapist I help thousands of people make challenging decisions. During my sessions with clients, I often hear them utter the paralyzing mantra of confusion: “I don’t know.” Sure, maybe you don’t know the year that toothpaste was invented or which presidents had allergies; but if the question has to do with a life decision—if you should change jobs, partners, move, or go on a trip—you actually DO know.

My job as an intuitive is not to tell clients what I see and know but to help them consciously connect with the part of themselves that has all their own answers—their inner guru. My goal is that they experience their own unique and embodied feeling of truth and leave the session feeling clear and empowered.

We all have the ability to access that wise and clear awareness that knows exactly how to help us live our most beautiful and authentic life. I call that awareness “the Soul.” When we are stuck making a decision, it is because we are overwhelmed and hyper-aware of all the differing arguments. At these times we do not need to make a “pro and con” list or search for additional information. This behavior often makes us more stuck in heady perfectionism. What we actually need is to discover how to raise our consciousness to access the clear and potent information of the Soul.

A brilliant quote often credited to Einstein is: “You can never solve a problem on the level on which it was created.”

So how do we raise our vibration out of the analytical and critical mind to achieve Soul connection? It’s actually much simpler than you would think. First, you set the intention to connect to your Soul truth; then ask yourself this magical question: “If I pretended to know, what would I know?”

This simple but powerful prompt allows the analytical mind to take a break and allow the higher information from Soul to penetrate through.

Clients are often shocked by their newfound clarity when they allow themselves to pretend to know their own answers. This technique is really so simple and straightforward, it is easy to minimize its potentially life-changing results. Suddenly they are clear about the relationship they are in, the job where they feel stuck, or the health problem they are facing.

In my new book, Meet Your Soul: A Powerful Guide to Connect With Your Most Sacred Self, I cover common blocks to your Soul, as well as many simple, yet life-changing techniques, inquiries and meditations to help you connect with your inner wisdom. When you make decisions from the Soul’s perspective, you become blessed with the experience of living a beautiful, authentic and successful life. Try this simple technique with a challenging decision you are currently facing. I’d love to hear your results.

 

 

Finding Happiness

Once a group of 50 people was attending a seminar.

Suddenly the speaker stopped and started giving each person a balloon. Each one was asked to write his/her name on it using a marker pen. Then all the balloons were collected and put in another room.

Now these delegates were let in that room and asked to find the balloon which had their name written, within 5 minutes.

Everyone was frantically searching for their name, pushing, colliding with each other, and there was utter chaos.

At the end of 5 minutes, no one could find their own balloon.

Now each one was asked to randomly collect a balloon and give it to the person whose name was written on it. Within minutes everyone had their own balloon.

The speaker began: This is exactly happening in our lives. Everyone is frantically looking for happiness all around, not knowing where it is. Our happiness lies in the happiness of other people. Give them their happiness, you will get your own happiness.

And this is the purpose of human life.

10 Simple Ways to Find Happiness

We all want to feel happy, and each one of us has different ways of getting there. Here are 10 steps you can take to increase your joie de vivre and bring more happiness into your life:

1. Be with others who make you smile. Studies show that we are happiest when we are around those who are also happy. Stick with those who are joyful and let rub off on you.
2. Hold on to your values. What you find true, what you know is fair, and what you believe in are all values. Over time, the more you honor them, the better you will feel about yourself and those you love.
3. Accept the good. Look at your life and take stock of what’s working, and don’t push away something just because it isn’t perfect. When good things happen, even the very little ones, let them in.
4. Imagine the best. Don’t be afraid to look at what you really want and see yourself getting it. Many people avoid this process because they don’t want to be disappointed if things don’t work out. The truth is that imagining getting what you want is a big part of achieving it.
5. Do things you love. Maybe you can’t skydive every day or take vacations every season, but as long as you get to do the things you love every once in a while, you will find greater happiness.
6. Find purpose. Those who believe they are contributing to the well-being of humanity tend to feel better about their lives. Most people want to be part of something greater than they are, simply because it’s fulfilling.
7. Listen to your heart. You are the only one who knows what fills you up. Your family and friends may think you’d be great at something that really doesn’t float your boat. It can be complicated following your bliss. Just be smart, and keep your day job for the time being.
8. Push yourself, not others. It’s easy to feel that someone else is responsible for your fulfillment, but the reality is that it is really your charge. Once you realize that, you have the power to get where you want to go. Stop blaming others or the world, and you’ll find your answers much sooner.
9. Be open to change. Even if it doesn’t feel good, change is the one thing you can count on. Change will happen, so make contingency plans and emotionally shore yourself up for the experience.
10. Bask in the simple pleasures. Those who love you, treasured memories, silly jokes, warm days, and starry nights—these are the ties that bind and the gifts that keep on giving.

Happiness and fulfillment are within your grasp, but sometimes just out of reach.Understanding what works best for you is the first step in finding more of them.
