Easy Decision Making By Ben Ormonde
Learning to recognise and act on your own intuition
We're all familiar with that little voice inside us that is chattering non stop as we go through this life journey that we call being human.
Every day we find ourselves having to make decisions on countless issues. Some decisions are of great importance while others are fairly trivial and mundane.
How would you like to tap into a higher, more enlightened source of wisdom when you need to make decisions by tapping into your inner wisdom?
Western society has taught us to critically analyse, to put things in columns that read - for or against, positive or negative, or we make decisions based on a sort of cost-benefit analysis. This left hemisphere thinking has served us very well. It has given us the ability to build 747 aircrafts, massive skyscrapers and to communicate on the internet and mobile phones.
As much as it has served us well, we have also paid a price for it. Our minds are simply too busy and many of us are becoming overwhelmed with information, data, choices and decisions to be made.
Often, there is absolutely no need to go into all this analysis. We have an "inner knowing" that we already know the right answer yet we find ourselves unable to trust that inner knowing and then act on it. This "inner knowing" is often referred to as our gut feeling.
I'll share with you some of the many methods to tune into this inner knowing or right hemisphere thinking using the wisdom that is already within you.
We'll start with the inner voice. Listening to this relentless chatter from that little voice can be very confusing, exhausting and frustrating. The reason for this is that the chatter is in fact the ego.
The difference between the chatter of the ego and deep inner knowing is simple. The ego messages are weak, wishy washy, all over the place, inconsistent and confusing.
Real inner guidance or divine guidance is solid, powerful and feels right.
You'll get a strong internal, direct, powerful message or a powerful "voice" saying - meet this person, go to this place, stop seeing this person, read this book, watch this movie, don't sign this contract, buy that house.
The gut feeling is a bit like a computer, you know the information is on the hard disk; it's just not always that instantly available and easy to locate.
Here are some easy, powerful ways to access this "inner knowing" "gut feeling" using the wisdom of your body.
Stand up straight in a relaxed way, preferably facing north with your knees slightly bent. Your body should be able to rock forward or backward very easily.
Ask your body, show me yes? Relax and notice if the body starts to lean forward or backwards. Most people lean forward in response to yes and backwards in response to no.
When you know which lean is your yes and which your no is, then you can ask for guidance about life questions. Should I sign this contract? Would it be in my best interests to date this person? Should I eat this food? Should I apply for this job? The answer is often a crystal clear yes or no. If you find that you don't lean either way and remain standing straight, it means that you don't have enough information and need to gather more.
Another method that can be used anywhere is to do the same exercise envisioning a set of traffic lights. Ask yourself a question or make a statement and notice if you see a red or a green light in your minds eye. Obviously, green means yes and red means no. If you see an amber light, it means that you don't have enough information for your decision.
Everything we have ever learned or experienced is stored in our bodies at the cellular level. Our bodies store profound wisdom that is available to us when we learn how to tap into it.
