The Best Place to Find the Direction You Are Looking For
If you are feeling stuck or if something is not moving in the right direction in your life, you may be missing tapping into the greatest tool you have.
One of the reasons I became a coach is because of what I have come to believe regarding all people.
That we are born with an internal “knowing” that applies to our life only.
That this knowing is a gift - giving us our direction for what is to be done with our life that is meaningful.
That everyone is just trying to do their best to follow what their knowing is telling them, but often haven’t learned how to tap into it and listen to it.
So what exactly is your “knowing”?
If you have ever walked into a room with people who aren’t talking and get a sense of the mood in that room….this is your knowing. Or maybe if you have walked into a physical place…with no people…and can get a feeling or sense about where you are…this is your knowing. An example of this is when you are looking for a new place to live and get a feeling from that location … “This doesn’t work for me” or “Yes, this is it!”.
Getting information from your knowing, or Knowing Center, can come in the form of a feeling…or you might simply have a sense or awareness. Some people hear their Knowing. It can be difficult to describe tapping into this source because it is unique to each person. I find it is helpful to have no expectations about a particular mode, but instead find what is true for you.
We have been taught throughout life to utilize our head, or thinking. This is also important as we gather information and analyze it but a next step often gets missed is utilizing both - your thinking and your knowing.
Because of distractions we tend to dismiss this knowing, intuitive, or gut sense as not real. Some of us have been taught to think of it as not important so we ignore it. Sometimes, we just forget to use it.
External forces also play a part. This can be in the form of messaging from our parents, teachers or those influencing our growth and can directly impact what we think about ourselves. We try to make meaning of who we are. If we bring in this external information and don’t compare it to our own Knowing, our own Center, we can end up bouncing through life like a ball in a pinball machine. We miss out on finding that place to rest and find fulfillment with ourselves.
Learning to tap into and trust our Knowing Center helps to stop this and gives us direction. This can be done in meditation and stillness. If you feel stuck, this is one of the tools I can help you uncover to get the clarity you need.
Tapping into our Knowing Center is one of the strongest tools we have as humans … and one that many of us don’t use enough. You are here for a purpose….are you fulfilling it?
