Exercise 1: Accessing Your Inner Wisdom
I recommend speaking the text of the following
guided meditation on a tape, then listening to it
later.
First, close your eyes and relax by taking three
deep, slow breaths, quietly saying, “I am relaxing” as
you breathe in and “I am letting go” as you breathe
out. Let your thoughts move through your mind like
clouds through the sky without paying attention to
them.
Visualize a safe, comfortable, and quiet place.
Look around at your safe place, listen to the sounds
around you, smell the air, and bring your attention
to your feelings and body sensations. Find an
especially nice spot at your safe place to make
yourself very comfortable, and relax even more.
Now “invite” to your safe place a wise, intuitive,
loving, and compassionate being. This is your Inner
Advisor (you can also call this being your Higher
Self),who will guide you to success. Imagine that
your Inner Advisor knows you very deeply, even
though you may or may not know each other in real
life. This process connects you with your inner
wisdom and intuition. Ask your Inner Advisor for
support in the following process and wait until
he/she agrees to support you. The response may
come in words or in other ways. Just be open to
receive the answer.If several advisors appear, choose the one who seems most
helpful right now.
If you cannot perceive an Inner Advisor right away, keep
visualizing your safe place once a day for one week and try
again.
Whenever you might feel stuck during the following exer-
cises, close your eyes, imagine your Inner Advisor, and listen“I live myself in widening
circles
That reach out across the
world.
I may not ever complete
the last one,
But I give myself to it.”
