Practice this while sitting in a comfortable chair with your eyes closed.

This technique will work regardless of the type of decision you need to make, whether it is:

• which of three motels to stay in while on vacation
• which job offer to accept
• to stay in or leave a marriage, a relationship, a job, or an organization, etc.
• to buy, sell or rent something
• to physically move whether it's next door, across town or out of town.

The first step is to clearly formulate the question in your head.

After you are clear about what you want to ask, close your eyes.

With your eyes closed, take several deep breaths and allow your entire body to relax (become a soft noodle).

Visualize the stress or tension in your body flowing out through the soles of your feet into the embracing arms of Mother Earth. Much like plants absorb our carbon dioxide and give us back oxygen, the earth absorbs our negative energy and uses it to bring forth flowers, birds, bubbling brooks, life itself. So, the more tension/negativity you can release, the more life force is returned to the planet.

Once you feel completely relaxed, refocus on the question in your head until it is very clear. Then envelop the question with your consciousness (much like a cloud envelops a mountain top).

Holding the question in your consciousness, physically move it from your head toward your heart. The heart is the doorway through which our Soul's speak to us. (Read "Overcome Your Fear By Remembering Your Divinity".) You should sense an answer to your question, whether it's a yes, a no, or a sensation in your body. If the feeling doesn't come immediately, let go of the question. The reason is, if you don't "feel it" the Ego will jump in with a rationalization, justification, or intellectualization and give you an answer based on fear.

Try the technique right now. Sit down, close your eyes, take a deep breath or two, and allow your Self to relax. Here is the question: Should I go out today and buy a $200,000 Rolls Royce? Did you feel your heart's response? Here is another practice decision. Should I go out and buy a 40 pound turkey, clean it, stuff it, and prepare it along with side dishes then invite my friends over at midnight for dinner? Did you feel the response this time? It may take a bit of practice as most of us are not accustomed to listening to our heart's messages.

Practice feeling this "feeling" by asking your Self a series a questions that you already know the answers to, whether they be yes or no. For example, your name, age, sex, race, address, favorite food.
