Navigating The Winds of Change

Day 6

Inner Guidance

I surrender in joyousness to the direction in which each of my experiences leads me and to the divine process itself.

One of the first myths that I encountered along my journey was the idea that emotions and feelings are one and the same, both emanating from the mind. I realized that if the ego can claim this illusion as truth, then we have zero way of distinguishing between the ego shouting and the heart gently whispering. We tend to overlook that a choice exists. This puts us in a victim mentality.

It is essential to learn to distinguish between emotions and feelings if we want to shift our realities. When experiencing a sense of pleasure, fulfillment, or joy, which are heart felt and of high vibration, we are in alignment with the feeling of love. If it is an emotional pain or conflict that we are sensing, then it is our emotions that are speaking, a function of the ego-mind that carries lower vibrational frequencies.

When we become conscious of our states of Being, only then can we realize that we have a choice of focus between what our DNA reads as either toxic or nurturing. A simple way to tell them apart is to recognize that emotions all come from the mind, and feelings stem from the nurturing of the heart: beauty, joy, passion, creativity, love, and trust.

Emotions = Struggle/Striving ❖ Feelings = Celebration/Thriving

It is important to pay attention to and be conscious of our inner guidance system, as it is similar to the dashboard of a car. It gives us information that is vital to our ultimate performance. It alerts us to possible situations that can become problematic. There are warning lights that go on when something is not functioning properly. These indicators are called emotions and are labeled guilt, sadness, jealousy, fear, doubt, rejection, despair, anger, or worry. Become aware that every emotion has a story attached to it created by the storyteller—the mind.

Emotions are signals that let us know the way we are thinking or perceiving the situation is out of alignment and balance with harmony. They are low-density frequencies that warn us when we are off course to our destination of fulfillment, abundance, and liberation.

The emotional body is an aspect of what we are. Our experience of emotion is a result of the focus of our perceptions based on our linear thinking, which is the only way the mind functions. In contrast to the mind, love is abstract and is understood and embraced only by the heart.

Love Is Mindless

Our feeling-body is a key element of our very humanness. It is productive, in our spiritual growth, to acknowledge our emotions and to feel them fully and deeply. However, our intentions should be focused on relinquishing our impulses of allowing the emotion to govern our responses. It serves our best interest to become more aware of our feelings and to spend time with them. It is natural to move toward what feels good. It is in harmony with well-being and with the essence of who we are. Trusting our inner guidance system transports us to the depths of our beings and to the compass of our souls.

The powerful gift of feeling, which we all possess, reaches inward and is connected to our heart intelligence. All that we seek literally lies within us, in the DNA of our cells. However, most of us choose to pay little attention to it. Feelings are a sense embraced through a pathway that connects us to the inner guidance system—the voice from within and the deep reconnection to our divine essence. Our inner guidance system holds the innate blueprint to all of creation. It is composed of the truths, wisdoms, and divine knowledge—the very essence of our Being. Our physical forms allow us to physically experience, embrace, and celebrate the gift of humanness. This pattern is embedded into the energy frequencies of the higher vibrations that are in tune with harmony, alignment, and joy. It is our inner guidance that indicates whether we are allowing the fullness of the universe to flow through us or if we are resisting embracing the love that is our own state of divine presence.

The key lies in our awareness that it is best to trust our inner guidance systems in determining the direction of our choices and be less concerned with the input of the logical mind, which is conditioned to feed us factors that are fear-based.

Let us honor the timeless wisdom of the inner guidance system. It steers us along the path that leads to the essence of divine love. Embracing our inner sense in the midst of our physical world and all its diversions will always lead us to a more vibrant and radiant life.

When we connect to inner wisdom, we are in alignment with all of creation.
