July 2016 Newsletter

Hello, and a joyous July to you!
Welcome, or welcome back, to my newsletter. The photo above is from a break at an energy workshop, where I'm examining some literature on future events. I don't want to miss anything!

Today's issue has an article on tuning into your feelings for guidance. Enjoy!

To those of us who pride ourselves on being logical, letting our feelings guide us might seem like giving up the steering wheel to a 2-year-old! Yet how many times have you had a conversation with a friend who was regretting a decision? He or she will say, "I had a feeling it was wrong for me, but I let myself be persuaded anyway". There's an old saying "Decide in haste, repent at leisure". My EFT teacher (for a short description of EFT, click here), Carol Look, helps people get clear on their Yes and their No. She often says "A Maybe is a No, for now". Imagine making that choice, moving to that new area or taking that job or asking that person out on a date. If you get an uncomfortable sensation, your feelings may be saying it's not such a good idea!

What if you have conflicting feelings? In EFT we give both sides a voice, as trying to ignore the dissenter often only makes him get louder. A few rounds of "Yes, I want to move! No, I want to stay right here!" will often allow more clarity to emerge. Then you can make a decision which is in alignment with your feelings. Or you can see that you need to gather more information before you decide, so the decision is a wise one.

A word about "Decide in haste". We usually have more time than we realize to make a decision. Others may try to rush us to meet their needs, or we may feel a false urgency, that we'll "miss out" if we don't act right away. Again, if you feel ease and peace and "all is right with the world" about making that decision, go ahead! If you're doubtful, take a little more time to see if your reservations have any validity. The "last chance" usually isn't, so don't let yourself be pressured.

In suggesting you pay attention to your feelings, I am not saying to ignore your intelligent brain! I think the heart (feelings) should lead in most cases, with the brain (logic) helping to carry out the plan. Einstein said "Intuition (feelings!) is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift". So please take full advantage of your gift of being an intuitive fully feeling human being. Your life will will be happier and richer as a result.
