As a past life regressionist it’s becoming apparent to me how grand the scale is of wasting time and energy by not listening to our inner knowing.

I am seeing people who incarnate over and over and over doing the very same life theme because they are not listening to the inner voice that would take them on a path of healing and growth.

What a lot of energy it takes to reincarnate over six lifetimes to learn that speaking your truth will not harm you anymore; it will in fact free you!

It makes sense that if you were hung in a past life for expressing your truth you would be cautious this time around. (That behaviour is most often unconscious of course) 

Yet after many experiences of knowing that that will not happen to you now isn’t it time to be brave and let go of that fear that stops you fulfilling your life purpose?

We have a plan when we incarnate, we know what it is we are needing to work on, what lessons we are attempting to accomplish. We also have talents and strengths to express that will support ourselves, our families, communities and the planet. 

When we are in alignment with our inner knowing we become connected to our passions and our truth.

So what stops us from doing this? I see three reasons -

• Conditioning from the past in this or other lifetimes.
  
• Fear of the unknown.
• An inability to stay present.

Let’s explore these three points.
What’s the conditioning all about? This is beliefs we have taken on board at some point in the past. Inner tapes we operate from today.

Maybe we were told we have to achieve to be noticed, to be worthy. This stops us from being here and now, it keeps us constantly focussed on the future. When we are not here and now we cannot be in touch with our heart or our body. The heart and the body both have a voice that wants to be heard. Voices that are important.

The bodies voice gets loud – pain. ‘Please hear me, I need you to notice me, there is something wrong, we need to talk!’

Yet what do we do? Take pain relief and keep on going.

The heart too waits to be heard. What is it that the heart needs to say. “Be with me, I can show you how to be happy!”

The conditioning can come in many packages. ‘Don’t open your heart to truly love because you will end up in pain.’ This may have come about by watching your parents divorce or watching a loved one die in this life or another.

The fear of the unknown is such a common issue. We get scared when we don’t know what will happen. Maybe your inner guidance is saying “Leave this marriage” or “Quit that career and start studying”. 

When we are fearful of the painful feelings and uncertainty about our financial future we usually prefer to stay safe, to leave things as they are which brings certainty – even the uncomfortable certainty seems better than the unknown.

So how do we work with this fear? Trust is the answer, Big Trust. Faith in a Divine Plan. Working your intellectual understanding of a loving universal force that will support you. Putting this into practise. Diving in to honour your inner knowing.

After a few successes you will see you actually can trust, and then you will KNOW trust.

An inability to stay present is also part of our conditioning and is connected to fear as well.

If we were to be here and now that may challenge our belief of “I am nothing if I am not doing” or “being creative isn’t beneficial, it's time wasting”.

Sometimes when we are present we notice big uncomfortable feelings. We are scared to feel these as they can seem like they may overwhelm us and we may never recover. Our habit is to be with the thoughts, the worry, go shopping, watch TV, hop on Facebook or eat more. You know how addictions work, they take us away from the pain that we are unwilling to hear and feel.

A place of being present is what is required to listen to our inner knowing. Yet it is not a familiar place to be.

We seem to like to give our power away to others to tell us what we need to do. We do this with friends, family, professionals like doctors and counsellors, “psychics” and healers of all kinds. Surely these wise people know what we must do. They are wise, I am not is what I hear. True wise people will assist you to hear your inner knowing. 

You are the only one that knows your life path - your plan and what you need to do.

Your inner knowing is loud when you slow down and be present to hear it.

We don’t need an angel to appear in the room telling us advice. Our gut feelings, our hunches, our intuitions and inner knowings are right there when we stop thinking so much and slow down to hear, feel and just know what is right.

No more need to –

• Worry about others opinions.
  
• Not believe Spirit won’t support you.
• Be scared of big feelings – they will pass and you will have more energetic space in your system to hold light, healthy energy instead.
• Ask others what you should do.
• To repeat lifetimes after lifetimes with the same simple theme that you are not getting.

 
Its time to be authentic and honour yourself fully!
