One of the voices that we struggle with inside is the voice of religion. Religion teaches us some very strict things about God and our relationship with God. Some religions teach us that we aren't worthy of having a personal relationship with God.
I think of the inner voice as a compass or as a wayshower to guide our path.
Using your intuition is such a wonderful way to live. It's very exciting.
There're a lot of old religious beliefs that keep us stuck. Because we're afraid of the answers, a lot of us just don't ask the questions of God.
God doesn't want all of us to relinquish all of our material possessions.
A lot of us have been raised with the Bible and with movies from Hollywood to believe that God shouts down from the heavens or appears in a burning bush. It's always so dramatic and kind of scary. So that's what we all expect when we're asking God for some answers.
Intuition is something all of us have been given.
I think too much importance is placed on spirit guides. They involve looking outside of ourselves to do it, to fix it, to tell us what to do.
If I am intuitively led to buy and read a book, what that means is that there is something there that will help me grow spiritually.
Sometimes people run out and read a lot of books, but they don't absorb anything from them. They want to read the next popular book.
I think it's very important for someone going to buy a book, taking a class or listening to a lecturer to ask, "Is this the right thing for me to do now? If it isn't, guide me to what I need."
I want to help put some of the pieces together for people. I want to empower people so they don't have to keep going to others outside of themselves for guidance.
I always turn to my intuition for personal guidance.
One thing my teacher taught me about getting psychic information with my intuition was to say, "Just show me the truth of this situation, God." That helps us to be able to read it more clearly.
You need to get really clear about whether this is your inner voice or just a desire that you have.
People are worried that their inner voice will tell them to leave their husbands or wives - or their jobs. Well, if that's really what your inner guidance is saying, then that is for your highest good and for your spouse's or partner's. There is a plan for everyone.
It always comes back to the fact that it is best to listen to that inner voice, whether you're in a relationship or not.
It's not harder to hear the inner voice when you're in a relationship, but it's more of a challenge to follow it.
Men have never really been encouraged to listen to their intuition, or told that they have an intuition. It's been more of a female thing, at least according to our society, but that's not true at all.
I want to help people understand themselves a little bit better, to stop being so critical and judgmental of themselves, and to help them understand why they are going through some of the difficult things in their lives.
