EASIER DECISION
MAKING
When we are not connected to our soul, we
are making decisions from the mind and
often swayed by fears, false beliefs and the
opinions of others. It is difficult to know if the
decision is truly right for us, or if it just looks
good on paper. Often the choice that the
soul wants us to make doesn’t even make
sense, but later on we see why it was the
right one.
I notice that when I am making a decision
from my mind, I bounce back and forth
between options, questioning my choices,
doubting myself. It takes forever and is
also agonizing. But if I can take the time
to ground, center and connect with my
soul, I can feel the right answer almost
immediately. For me the answer that is in
alignment with my soul gives me a warm
feeling of rightness and calm, as opposed
to the other choices that make me feel
anxious, tight, off-center, nauseous, cold or
empty. It may be a different experience for
you. “Yes” often feels expansive, and “no”
feels contracting. Some people receive the
answer as a voice in their head, a knowing,
a sense in their gut that something is right or
wrong, an image, dream or vision.
Practice connecting with your soul and
making simple decisions, or even yes/no
questions, until you get comfortable with
how the answers feel to you. It is important
to establish this to understand how it is that
you sense what is right for you and what is
not. Practicing also helps you to trust the
answers that you receive, which will make it
easier to receive your answers and use this
for more important decisions.
IMPROVED HEALTH
When we are not connected without
soul, or are doing things that are not in
alignment with our true self or soul, our
health can be affected.
One of my clients had been working in a
stressful job that she didn’t really like, but
she stayed there because she needed the
money and benefits. For years she had been
taking classes in something that she really
felt passionate about. She kept saying that
someday she would start a business and do
what she loved. Suddenly she developed a
health issue that kept her from working. Her
doctors couldn’t figure out what was wrong.
She would improve on the weekends, but as
soon as she would go back to work the issue
would return. After a while, she realized that
