Checking with your Gut

Hi,

Have you noticed that it's best to check with your gut before you make a decision? I have. It doesn't matter if the decision is life-changing or simply logistical. I have trained myself to listen. It's simple things, like I'm leaving my home and the thought crosses my mind,

"Take the other shoes."

When I listen and take the shoes, something on the trip requires the comfortable shoes and I smile as I get them out of the back of the car. It can be something that basic.

When big decisions arise, it is even more important to listen. It takes time and attention. That's why we wrote our book, SOUL SOLITUDE: Taking Time for Our Souls to Catch Up, to help folks understand why it is essential to sit quietly. So many people told us that they simply didn't have enough time to fit in exercise, let alone quiet sitting in Soul Solitude. My question to them was whether or not they could fit in the time to sit in regret, re-do relationships, lose opportunities, or regain their health. Not a popular question, right?

I invite you to ask yourself what your current self-talk is about taking time for spiritual practice. Only sitting in the sacred silence in Soul Solitude will bring you the insights and peace that leads to spiritual living.

Find time to sit. As you'll learn in the book, there is no technique. You cannot do it wrong. But, you do have to do it!

Much love, great joy and many blessings,
Rhoberta
