Decision Making Visualization

Leave a comment

The following exercise was given to a Reading client as a recommendation.  It is worth sharing!

———————————————————————————————-

This exercise presumes that you have already developed or learned a method of meditating and clearing your mind of extraneous distractions.  If you need assistance in this area there are many classes and instructors available.  If you wish, you may also contact me for more information.

 Step by Step

1) Focus on only 1 area of your life (e.g., career, relationship, spiritual practices, health or lifestyle choices, etc.)  Make a list of the choices and options that you are aware of.

2) Do deep breathing exercises and/or your meditation practice to clear your mind and center your attention.

3) Imagine a sky full of colored balloons.  Each balloon represents a choice or want in the area of focus.  There will likely be more balloons than choices you have listed; this is because there are always other choices we are not aware of.

4) Watch the balloons floating in the breeze.  Observe the colors and the qualities of the colors and sizes.  Do not associate any importance to any of it, simply observe.

5) Ask your Soul/Higher Self to help you to know what is Right/Best for you at this time.

6) Observe the balloons; which ones sink to the ground?

During this process, if you feel fears/thoughts of the mind interfering, breathe deeply, and on the exhale watch the wind blow through the balloons.  Ask again (as often as needed) for Soul Guidance for your Highest and Best Truth.

7) Step toward the grounded balloon(s).  If more than 1 has landed, step toward the one that attracts you the most.  Pick the balloon up; you may see words or images, or have a direct emotional knowing of what it contains.  THIS is your result; the choice that is Highest and Best for you to pursue at this time.

  1. Observe how you feel/respond to this answer – Relief? Gratitude? Certainty and acceptance? Fear? Overwhelm?
  2. If the balloon is blank or you have difficulty perceiving the information it contains, it represents a choice that you do not yet have enough information about. {see 8.1 below}

8) If you feel anything other than certainty and acceptance and a willingness to proceed it is indication that there is “clearing” work to do in order to proceed.  Sometimes feelings of fear and overwhelm occur because you are viewing the end result.  Narrow your focus.

  1. Acknowledge what you have received – “Okay, so if this is my Highest and Best Choice/Path, show me, guide me, aid me to take manageable steps in this direction.”  Within 24-48 hours something will shift within you or your life to aid you in pursuit of your objective.  {This step also is to be used if the balloon is blank (7.2)}

9) Offer up a prayer of gratitude and thanks for the assistance you have received.

 Still have fears and doubts about the insights you have received?  The surest way to resolve doubts about spiritual guidance is to act on what you have received.  If you obtain results, then it will solidify your trust in your guidance and your ability to discern true answers.  If you are not getting desired results it could be that you are misinterpreting what you are receiving.  Continually asking for guidance and clarification will aid you in refining this process.

Intuition is like GPS

Leave a comment

Last week my brother-in-law gave me his Tom Tom that he was no longer using.  My first attempt at using it was both interesting (took a route I’d never have imagined) and frustrating! 

Driving along, marveling at sights I’d never seen before…”Wow, I never knew this was here.”

“after 700 yards, turn left, then bear to the right”  then SILENCE for blocks

How far is 700 yards?  What street am I turning on?  ….the choices I would have made without the GPS playing on my mind and trying to figure out what the route is….

“after 500 yards turn left” 

“turn around and make a  right on the next street”  THAT was 500 yards?  Oh.

After several rounds of this, and feeling confused and frustrated, trying to navigate traffic and streets that are unfamiliar, it STRUCK me “This is a LOT like how intuition works!”  We get “hits” and then nothing.  We are expected to respond to what was given.  If we act on our intuition we get another “hit”, but not before floundering around in some new, and sometimes scary, territory.

If the idea that was presented is out of our normal range of activity, or pushes us toward something we are afraid of, or it seems too big a risk to act on….NOTHING – SILENCE….while “it” waits for us to open up for another opportunity to give us another “hit”. 

We rarely know what the “route” is; we just have this sense that we need to do something in particular, like take that upcoming seminar.  We don’t know why; we haven’t finished paying for the last seminar we took and haven’t finished integrating everything from the last seminar…and “you want me to go to another one!?” (That’s gone through my head more than once.)   Then, after the seminar, when we’ve made valuable connections and gotten new insights….and actually integrated that earlier seminar thanks to this new information….we see where this Goal Positioning System was taking us.

The Goal Positioning System adjusts for our choices too; just like the GPS recalculates our route and gives new instructions when we did not take the recommended street.  

Sometimes we choose not to respond to a hint or opportunity, and we find out after the fact why we had that “hit”.  Something similar will arise again and give us an opportunity to take another route toward our goal, and we will have learned something from the “not choosing” (oh, that’s 500 yards).

Unless we never respond, then it’s like not recharging the battery; it dies out.  We end up feeling like life has passed us by.

I finally figured out how to get the GPS to display an overview of the streets on its planned route and that eased my confusion.  I then had more information to rely on, and I could just enjoy the ride.

If YOUR personal GPS needs recharging, or you would like assistance in learning how to work with it, a session or two with Kateri can clear the mind clutter and reconnect you with your heart goals, and attune you to the frequency your messages are being delivered on, so you can find your optimal life route.
