Why? Because it\u2019s the easiest and most natural source of knowledge about what\u2019s good for you. It\u2019s very easy access, always right and doesn\u2019t cost a dime!<br \/>\nWhat I call inner guidance is sometimes also called &#8220;higher self&#8221;, &#8220;intuition&#8221; or &#8220;source&#8221;. These concepts may not be familiar to you, so I encourage you to just be open to the information I provide and that resonates with you.\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>At the end of this article you\u2019ll find a simple exercise to help you connect with your inner guidance.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Blueprint<br \/>\n<\/b><\/span><span class=\"s1\">We all are born with a blueprint of our life. Such a blueprint usually consists of:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u2022 Specific lessons to be learned;<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"s1\">\u2022 Developing certain skills and qualities;<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"s1\">\u2022 Being meaningful to others;<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"s1\">\u2022 Learning to give and receive love, initially in your own unique way, ultimately more and more unconditionally and universally. Remembering that is what life on earth is all about.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Your inner guidance<br \/>\n<\/b><\/span><span class=\"s1\">Because when we are born we fall into oblivion and more or less forget that we are divine beings. Luckily a part of our soul remains in the light with full knowledge of their blueprint. Connecting with this &#8220;higher&#8221; part can guide the part that has forgotten during our life on earth, in this body. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Together they form a unity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This union allows us to remain connected to our own inner truth, no matter how much we have forgotten.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Your <a href=\"http:\/\/ankewebersmit.com\/juiste-keuzes-maken-2-0-artikel-gepubliceerd\/\"><span class=\"s2\">inner guide<\/span><\/a> has full access to all knowledge and information in your blueprint and your purpose here on earth. Therefore, your inner guide is the most qualified guide for you on your path that anyone can ever have. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Learning to connect with this part of yourself allows you to calmly and confidently move forward in your life for the rest of your days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Your inner guide is the most <a href=\"http:\/\/ankewebersmit.com\/activiteiten\/agenda\/meditation-station\/\"><span class=\"s2\">intimate part of yourself<\/span><\/a>, it is light and all-knowing and it\u2019s \u2018location\u2019 is both \u201chigh&#8221; in the sky or right inside your heart.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Contacting with your inner guide<br \/>\n<\/b><\/span><span class=\"s1\">Your inner guide represents your highest vibrations (light and love). Therefore, anything that brings you into these states of higher vibration also brings you closer to your higher self. You can think of anything that makes you feel good, adds quality to your life, evokes love or that you are grateful for. In these moments you lift yourself up in light and love and your connection with your higher self becomes stronger and purer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">You don&#8217;t have to have regular conversations with your inner guide to really connect with it. It\u2019s always there and always will be, you just need to ask it and it will advise you accurately and trustworthy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Why it can be difficult to ask for guidance?<br \/>\n<\/b><\/span><span class=\"s1\">Your current difficulties are usually a reflection of painful past experiences that you have not been able to fully process. Part of your pain may be feeling abandoned (&#8220;I\u2019m all alone&#8221;, &#8220;No one will help me&#8221;). This inner loneliness gets in the way of asking for help. Or rather: the illusion of loneliness. You can feel so lost that it might not even cross your<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>mind that help is abundantly available to you, wherever you are, whenever. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Also, during traumatic situations in the past you may have (partly) renounced your ow inner power. From within this impotence it is difficult to ask any question and trust the answer. Luckily you can reclaim your inner power right here and now by simply allowing it back into your life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Too good to be true<br \/>\n<\/b><\/span><span class=\"s1\">You may ask yourself: Do I really have a higher self? According to several old traditions and religions you will always remain connected to your inner guide,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>even if you forget about it. Recent scientific discoveries also confirm that you are connected to everything and everyone in the universe through the electromagnetic field of your heart. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Let\u2019s pretend the appealing idea of an inner guide is not validated by data. That doesn\u2019t mean that you can\u2019t use it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Why? Because your subconscious mind cannot distinguish between what\u2019s real and what is imagination. For example, think of your favourite meal. Picture it\u2019s smell, how you chew it and how tasty it is. In no time extra saliva will be running into your mouth. Yet in reality there is no meal. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The physical world reacts immediately, even if the idea itself is not true (nocebo effect).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Summarizing<br \/>\n<\/b><\/span><span class=\"s1\">Anything that increases your vibration brings you in closer contact with your inner guide (higher self) <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">You can ask your inner guide easily and ask for advice and help for the next step in your life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In order to contact your inner guide you don\u2019t need to learn much. You can already do it. Trust in the idea that it is there and believe in their unlimited knowledge and wisdom. The higher your vibration (if you feel happy, at peace, of gratitude) the easier it is to get in touch with your inner guide and<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>mobilize it\u2019s power in your life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Answers from your inner guide come to you in a unique way that suits you. They can manifest in the form of knowingness, as coincidences that appear in your path, dreams and creative ideas that feel very right to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Excercise<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Think of a question you want answered<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Slow down your breathing a bit. Breathe in during ca. 5 seconds, and out again, equally slowly<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Put your hand on your heart <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Think about something or someone in your life that makes you feel really good. It can also be a moment or period in your life when you were very happy. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Take a few slow breaths to bring this person or memory to life. Imagine the happiness, love and ease that you felt.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Ask a question that is important to you. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Listen to the answer. You may get it high above your head or deep in your heart. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">It\u2019s perfect.
