Imagine having the answer to all the doubts that arise, and thus always being able to choose the path that leads you to live your best life Well, that is exactly what we are going to see precisely now.
That tool exists, although it requires practice to master it. I call it the “inner compass”, and although it sounds very typical when you start using it consciously, the feeling it will give you is very similar to having a navigation system that always shows you the right path…
Day by day we decide small things automatically, without certainty in many cases whether the decision we are making is the most appropriate or not.
So, when we face choices that we consider important for our lives, in those moments we usually experience doubts, uncertainty, insecurity, fear… What is the reason for this?
In most cases we think about the decisions; This is obvious, right? What is the problem behind this? Well then the mind is totally variable, in one moment it tells you white, and just a few minutes later it can tell you black, then gray, and again it can return to white and continue in a constant loop… This has happened to you more than once, right? And more than two too…
This is very fickle and, therefore, susceptible to the incessant swing of change. But if what you want to decide has a great implication in the medium or long term, obviously you need confidence, and some certainty that what you are choosing at that moment is the most useful for you
For this, it is essential that, using the metaphor of the sea, you go beyond the surface waters to make each decision connecting with the depth, with your true being, with who you truly are beyond appearances. This way the decisions you make will truly come from you, not from your conditioning (the ideas that your family, your culture, etc. have sold you).
This becomes vital at the forks in your path in which the decision you make can condition your next years or perhaps your entire life. The great news is that on a superficial level you will never be sure that what you choose will be the most useful in relation to what you want to achieve. But on a deeper level, everything you choose is always the best, and just what you had to decide, without the possibility of error. You can’t go wrong. There is no such thing…
Different depth levels
To see this work area it is essential to use the metaphor of sea waves To do this, as we said before, we have to connect with the deep waters of who we truly are. And so that you better understand what we are talking about, imagine that people are like the planet Earth, which has different layers or strata.
Well then; In the outermost superficial layer is the body. A little deeper, the next layer is made up of thoughts, a little deeper are the emotions, deeper inside we find the feelings, and a little deeper inside is the “heart”, which is the closest to your true self. …
Abroad There is agitation and there are the superficial and confused movements of the mind Therefore, all you have to do is ask your heart what you want to know and the answer it gives you, without a doubt, will be the answer that is truest and most connected to you.
Let’s see how this works.
Training
First, define in a simple and concise way the question you want to ask. The question should be closed, that is, your only answer should be yes or no. Silently, mentally, or out loud, formulate the question in question.
At that moment, remain attentive and you will receive the answer at the same moment, as is. It is important that you understand that once your heart truly discovers what you want, or the closest answer to what you truly want, the mind will immediately begin to question and refute what your heart has told you. This is how this works. The important thing is that you know that this is going to happen and that you understand that what your mind subsequently tells you, whatever it may be, comes from a much more superficial and distant plane. You must understand that you cannot trust your mind, since the opinions it gives you have much less to do with who you truly are than the ones your heart gives you.
Another way to know what you really want and respond from it when they ask you a question quickly and you answer without thinking It is very important that you keep in mind that, like any skill, this requires that you practice it for a long time, before mastering it and thus calibrate how this sophisticated machine works.
As you try it, you will generate more confidence about the process, so that when an important decision comes up for you – such as whether you move in with your partner, whether you study for a competitive exam or whether you start a business, etc. – you will no longer have doubts about the answer. Once you master the simple but extremely useful art of asking your heart and guiding yourself according to what it tells you, you will be much closer to living a more authentic life.
