SPIRIT - INNER GUIDANCE EXERCISE - John Holland
By practicing this short exercise, you'll build a stronger relationship with your inner guidance.

Begin by closing your eyes and taking a complete breath as you begin to relax. Follow your breath into the quiet place within your heart. Your body and mind grows quieter with each breath.

Bring your awareness into your solar plexus area. Ask your intuition if there's anything specific it wants to tell you. Breathe in again, and take a moment allowing any messages to come up. Bring your awareness up to your crown chakra. Ask if there's a situation you need to know about.

You may receive words, symbols, or a feeling about what you need to know. Awaken, enjoy your day. Notice how it flows more easily.
