quiet corner (or your car, or the bathroom….
anywhere) and just BE. Sit quietly with
yourself for as long as you are able. If it’s

that’s perfect too. The key is to begin. The
most important part of this sacred space is

TRUST YOUR
INNER WISDOM
TO GUIDE YOU
We live in the age of downloads. Information
comes cascading toward us from all
directions, all the time! We are left to sort
through it, authenticate it and follow what
we think might serve us. This is where your
inner wisdom comes in. It does not come
from anything external. It lives and thrives
within you which makes it available to you
anytime. All you have to do is listen. While
you are quiet and getting comfortable with
yourself, that is the time to ask yourself for
guidance or a message. The next step is
completely your responsibility. You have to
trust the message.
