Connecting to Inner Guidance: Opening to Receive Inspiration

Never hold back from the feelings of inspiration when in the receiving mode; they are your direct guidance, your plugging in. This direct connection may not come in the form of a perfect or booming voice; in fact, it likely will not. The soft, gentle voice of guidance that is felt at times more than heard is your true guidance, your knowing. It is not the thoughts that are forever ticking off in your brain with endless to-do lists, but rather the soft and gentle guidance from within. Your own wisdom comes through and feels comfortable, like a well-worn blanket, your favorite pillow, or sleepwear.

You receive your own guidance always, calling to you like the ever-present bird calling for its young or the kitten mewing for milk. Reception doesn’t have to look like antennae or a flag waving in the air; it can be as simple as having your eyes closed with a gentle, upturned face toward the sun. The sun offers fortification or the fertilizer that makes you ready for reception, not the actual guidance.

Listen for the gentle guidance, the whispers. Be in receiving mode even in circumstances of chaos. Keep at least part of your lanes open. You have the ability to feel into reception while busying yourself in other ways—a sort of frequency multitasking. This continuous trickle charging allows you to never deplete your resources. You are not required to go to the well over and over, as you have a direct pipeline. Stay open to the source of flow.
