How does the body speak to you? The body also has its own unique ways of communication. You may feel distress or pain in a certain region of the body, signaling something to be aware of. You may hear gurgling sounds that you will have to decipher. You may feel your blood pressure is too high or your pulse is racing. These are all signs from your body to pay attention, that something needs attention, that perhaps some habit needs to change. You may feel tension, anxiety or chronic stress. These are all signs from your body that changes may be called for in your life. Likewise, feelings of calmness, relaxation, peacefulness signal to you that your body is happy, that it likes what you are doing. Feelings of sadness, tiredness, despair signal that there is emotional disruption happening within the body and that it’s time to get back to those other good feelings of calmness, relaxation, and peacefulness. Over time you will learn that your body is probably talking to you all the time, just as your heart is.

So how does the heart speak? It will vary from person to person. You might hear your heart speak in words, in pictures, or in abstract symbols. You might hear it reverberate through nature, in the natural world outside of you. You might receive messages from animals, from angels, from those you love and whom love you. You might even hear a direct message, loud and clear, a voice in your head. These are some of the ways that the heart may speak to you. But everyone is unique, and just how your heart speaks to you is also going to be unique. Stay open and available, and gently ask to be guided.

Sending you love,

A guiding principle is to always pay attention to what is going on inside yourself, inside your heart, and inside your body. Though you may think that your heart and body are silent, this is not the case. They speak to you all the time in different and various ways that you can learn. Once you get used to how they speak to you it will be smooth sailing ahead, unless you forget this most important principle of guidance—that it is all within you.

With certainty of self firmly in place, with your heart centered and focused on your own growth and prosperity, set your foot down into the firmness of your life. And, as you claim your space in the universe and in your world, know that you are guided and protected in more ways than you can imagine. Open up to the truth that you are never alone. Ask for guidance and it will come. Ask for help and it will come. Ask to be shown what to do next and you will be shown. The answers may come in outlandish ways. You have no idea how spirit will speak to you each time you ask for something, but believe and trust that it will. Keep alert so you don’t miss anything!

Sending you love,

To unfold into the self is to fearlessly embrace life, to fearlessly face each day, but most importantly to face the inner voices that hold you back, that tell you that you are not that important, that you don’t deserve, that you are not worthy. Those old voices travel the world looking for places to land. They attempt to implant in every mind, and they often do for quite a long time. But if you wake up to the fact that they are foreign voices whose only mission is to occupy an individual’s mind, taking over and wreaking havoc, then you will be prepared for them. Tell them, in no uncertain terms, to scram! Leave! Go away! Say it often enough and they will go. But the most important thing is to not give them room in the first place. Fill your mind with the beauty and bounty of self, with positive and nurturing words of wisdom and encouragement, for such words of love for the self will quickly push out any negativity and leave you feeling prosperous and grateful.
