www.normpratt.com
- Make a conscious choice
& express your willingness as you see fit – prayer.
- Be as clear as
possible-clarify your intention and put it out there consciously.
- Put yourself in a position
to receive-create space for intuitive guidance to happen.
- Practice presence-be here
now-notice your thoughts & feelings, what's going on?
- Scrutinize your motives
& agenda – why are you doing this? No secondary gains.
- You can't force the 'force'
– but things can turn out even better then you can plan.
- Be willing to feel –
deeply. Notice what's coming up, making itself known.
- Be gentle with yourself.
Trying too hard negates the effort. Surrender control.
- Practice moving your
conscious awareness out of your head & into your heart.
- Express gratitude –
acknowledge lessons/insights/openings when they come.
- Re-evaluate your belief
systems at every opportunity – still serving as you grow?
- Move away from fear-based
reality – operating on old 'tapes' or reactionary behavior.
- Practice going with your
gut – what 'feels' right – you'll sense when it's wrong.
- Embrace change. Open
yourself to growth & movement. Let go of resistance.
- Confront personal issues
& limitations – speak your truth and do the healing work.
- Apply what you are learning
in all aspects of your life – make it real & serving.
- Achieve healthy balance of
physical, emotional, mental & spiritual aspects of self.
- Fill your life with what
truly fills & feeds you and is of lasting benefit.
- Make the journey your own
– do what works for you – find out what this is.
- Take responsibility for
& ownership of your power – you are impacting us all.
- See life as a spiritual
experience, but savour the physical aspects as well.
- Ask Spirit/God/Guidance to
help you grow, then be open to how it manifests.
- Notice what tugs at your
awareness – work to identify what it is – gets easier.
- Practice development work
all the time – not just reserved for 'sacred' moments.
- Have no need for drama
– take the higher road – attract the 'purest' guidance.
- Crap in – Crap out.
Be aware of what you're putting into mind/body/spirit.
- Push your comfort zone a
little at a time – take time to get comfortable with what you are
learning. Give yourself space to integrate experiences & lessons.
- Ask the big questions
– seeking provokes a response from guidance.
- Don't wait for the 'big
bang' of spiritual awakening – it's happening already.
- Practice self-discipline
– like a diet/exercise program – by paying constant attention
to your thoughts & feelings & inner workings, you notice what's
happening.
- Accept what comes without
twisting it to meet your projected needs/agenda.
- Be an open vessel –
clear, conscious, feeling, and set on 'receive' mode.
- If you give a sincere
effort, guidance will meet you halfway and cheer you on.
- Learn your personal symbols
& signals – guidance will speak in a way you understand.
- Congratulate yourself
– savour your growth & expanding awareness – absorb it.
- Exercise discernment just
as you would with friends & family – what is of value.
- Everything can communicate
if you are open to it – animals, trees, stones, etc.
- As your awareness expands,
you perceive more of what is already there – universal
consciousness.
- Soften your outlook &
ways of being – practice all types of sensitivity.
- Make it less about you and
more about how you can be of service to the world.
- Be what you are asking for.
Make it so. Apply it in your life everyday.
- Trust unfoldment, that
things are happening with design & purpose, even if you don't see it.
- Practice authenticity
– speaking from the heart, what you truly feel.
- Just be yourself –
find out who that is & be it – naturally, free of clutter or
effort.
- Notice external signs &
signals that are mirroring your inner world.
- Build internal power based
on self-awareness – will help you to understand guidance.
- Notice when guidance is
bubbling up – your feelings & impressions – stay with it
until it has emerged as a 'knowing' in your conscious awareness.
- Keep the journey simple,
uncluttered and light. Have fun with your growth.
- Feel the rightness of place
& purpose – make adjustments until you sense well-being.
- Be willing to learn from
everyday events & the lessons will never stop flowing.
- Look beyond traumatic
events & loss to find the underlying lessons waiting to be found
– this will give even difficult challenges an enriching meaning
& purpose.
- The more you do this work,
the easier it becomes, and as you expand & evolve, intuitive guidance
becomes an ever greater part of your being – soon the techniques
& 'crutches' that helped you grow in consciousness begin to fall away.
- Replace low-level
reactionary behavior with consciously–chosen ways of being –
how you think, perceive & act – reprogramming leads to natural
& effortless guidance.
- As sensitivities heighten,
you'll notice more around you then you ever did before.
- Psychic-intuitive sensing
broadens reality – you'll perceive a larger picture.
- If you are stuck in your
own unresolved issues, then that is what the world mirror's back.
- Internal conflict is okay.
It's often brain struggling with intuition.
- Notice internal resistance
–usually means you're suppressing your true feelings.
- Often guidance comes in
response to things going on in your life – your thoughts &
emotions trigger an intuitive response that tells you how best to proceed
& how you really 'feel'.
- Establish & strengthen
your inner world. Write down feelings & insights as they emerge.
- Treat intuitive guidance as
a valued ally & part of your personal repetoire of skills.
- Find & do what makes
your heart sing – Intuitive Guidance can come clearest in moments of
self-release.
- Mind cannot explain
intuitive guidance – it will endlessly endeavor to explain,
interpret & rationalize. Bypass mind, have faith and let your heart
tell it's truths.
- Fear, doubt or anxiety
block intuitive flow. So get clear about what you need to learn. Trust
yourself & what you are feeling & sensing – Intuitive
Guidance will never go away. Only you can limit yourself.
- We are already intuitive,
perceptive beings, dialed into receiving guidance. This is just an
exercise of fine-tuning our 'receptors' & what we believe to be
possible.
- In it purest form, guidance
is non-verbal. Practice feeling your knowing, and knowing your being,
without any need of words.
- Not all spiritual guidance
or psychic input is particularly evolved or serving – be aware of
the source of communication & if unsure as to validity, let it go.
- Identify less with mind
& emotions, more with inner self & heart-centered awareness.
- No judgment, no failure.
You can start anew in each moment.
- Don't wait for
enlightenment to find you – the day-to-day activities of the
physical world will provide all the triggers for Intuitive Guidance you'll
ever need –but practice these tips.
