Intuition Tip #5
Problem: You're looking to the past and future too much.

When your mind is in the future, you can never seem to do enough; you can never feel satisfied. Everything seems accelerated. When you're in the past, you feel anxiety because you've slowed down and fallen behind. Either way, you cannot receive superconscious information because the soul exists only in the present moment and speaks to you through your body. Open back up by bringing your awareness totally into the present moment.

EXERCISE
Center yourself and drop into your body in the here-and-now; be with what's so. The question and answer exist at the same time in the moment. Past solutions may not be appropriate for today's problems, and the future doesn't really exist—it's just a potential now. In this quiet moment ask the superconscious mind what needs to be known, what wants to be done, what experience needs to be entered into, what lesson is being learned. Then, if you want, write about what you discover.

Doing Everything Twice
A WAKING DREAM INTERPRETED
Have you had one of those days where everything has to be done twice? The store wasn't open when you arrived, the document you wrote hadn't actually contained "all" the other people's input even though you'd been assured it had, the person you got up extra-early to meet forgot the appointment. The plumber installing your new water heater got the wrong size, then installed the right-sized one so the closet door couldn't close. When an ordinary day begins to seem like a dream, when the events take on dreamlike symbolism, your soul is speaking to you.

You are most likely out of synch with the wave of your own life, moving too fast or slow, and/or you simply need to release your will and be in each small moment more fully. Maybe life has another plan for you today; did you notice beauty? Are you feeling your senses? Where are you not paying attention, or "out to lunch?"

Quote
"Recognize the power of mind, respect the power of mind. And also recognize the power behind the power, the ocean holding the wave. Recognize yourself as the ocean, with your stories, your feelings, as waves. Waves can be beautiful or terrifying, but always they return to the ocean. Every wave always is made up of the ocean. No wave can ever be separate from the ocean. Waves of thoughts, waves of emotions, waves of sensations, waves of events, are all made up of consciousness. And all return to consciousness, while never being separate from consciousness."
—Gangaji

WHAT'S REAL UNDERNEATH?
Are you slightly unfocused? Being forced to let go of people, habits, plans, or comforts? Or perhaps you're voluntarily lightening up? Are you resting? Soak up as much summer warmth and nourishment as you can, because this fall and winter are going to be very active. The slingshot is pulling back, and it will release in about a month.

Now is a good time to "feel into" plans and possible changes or revisions to your life path. You're in a wave that is changing direction or intensity and your life is preparing to reveal some shifts. New things are coming to you that you haven't imagined. Stay alert and engage with what promotes your growth. Decide to stretch into some new territory, make some new friends, or learn some new skills. Try replacing one habit that keeps you unconscious with a new one that opens your awareness and sensitizes you to a higher good. This is also a good time for a partial fast from heavy food. Pay special attention to enjoying your sense of smell, as this will take you into a quieter, deeper part of your brain. Here's the question: What is pleasure? What does it really do to your awareness and energy?

COOL STUFF
Netflix Recommendation:
BALLYKISSANGEL. Set in rural Ireland, a youthful priest (Stephen Tompkinson) is assigned to a picturesque town full of classic characters. He ministers to them with the wisdom of a modern-day Solomon, though staying sane is not so easy. Colin Farrell also stars.

Best Progressive Radio:
I highly respect Thom Hartmann, whose radio show on Air America is one of the most intelligent I've ever heard. He is a true scholar, presents his information with great back-up detail and no hyperbole or vitriolic bias, and gives us detailed history to make sense of what's happening now. He has published many books, lived in other countries, and is the best summarizer of current conditions I've ever heard. www.thomhartmann.com
