00:00:27,450 --> 00:00:31,601
How to use use your intuition 
(the innervoice)

2
00:00:32,621 --> 00:00:34,611
Hello there.

3
00:00:35,271 --> 00:00:40,510
Some of us, we can hear our inner 
voice speaking loud and clear.

4
00:00:40,510 --> 00:00:42,584
We use it to make decisions.

5
00:00:42,584 --> 00:00:44,658
And we can do it quickly.

6
00:00:44,658 --> 00:00:48,037
For the rest of us, this 
really isn't the case.

7
00:00:48,037 --> 00:00:50,186
We can't hear our inner voice.

8
00:00:50,186 --> 00:00:52,956
So we don't know what we want, 
we don't know what we need,

9
00:00:52,956 --> 00:00:56,170
we don't know what we think,
we don't know how we feel.

10
00:00:56,170 --> 00:00:59,223
So for those of us 
who feel that way,

11
00:00:59,223 --> 00:01:00,953
it's critical for us to learn

12
00:01:00,953 --> 00:01:04,374
how to listen deeply within 
ourselves for that inner voice,

13
00:01:04,374 --> 00:01:08,220
so that the whisper of our inner 
voice can become a scream.

14
00:01:08,220 --> 00:01:13,023
So how is it that this voice
within us became silenced?

15
00:01:13,023 --> 00:01:16,637
It became silenced because 
other people didn't listen to it.

16
00:01:16,637 --> 00:01:20,244
When we came into this life, they
disregarded our inner voice.

17
00:01:20,244 --> 00:01:24,570
They made us not listen to it
but listen to them instead.

18
00:01:24,570 --> 00:01:27,621
So as a result, this voice 
got fainter and fainter

19
00:01:27,621 --> 00:01:29,913
and fainter and suppressed 
more and more,

20
00:01:29,913 --> 00:01:32,439
until we could no longer hear it.

21
00:01:32,439 --> 00:01:35,594
It was replaced by 
other people's voices.

22
00:01:35,594 --> 00:01:40,237
The inner voice comes to us
primarily through sensation,

23
00:01:40,237 --> 00:01:42,704
through emotion and through thought.

24
00:01:42,704 --> 00:01:47,826
It doesn't often come to us audibly
even though it can take that form.

25
00:01:47,826 --> 00:01:50,324
You hear the inner voice a lot.

26
00:01:50,324 --> 00:01:53,236
It's the you that talks to you 
inside your own head

27
00:01:53,236 --> 00:01:56,109
or inside your own heart 
or inside your own body.

28
00:01:56,109 --> 00:02:00,568
You just don't realize that this
is in fact your inner voice.

29
00:02:00,568 --> 00:02:04,364
This inner voice is our self, our soul,

30
00:02:04,364 --> 00:02:07,657
what some people call 'our true self',

31
00:02:07,657 --> 00:02:13,480
talking to us about ourselves and 
about the world all day every day.

32
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,470
Some people call the 
inner voice intuition,

33
00:02:16,470 --> 00:02:22,464
because it is an inner knowing, an
inner seeing, an inner believing.

34
00:02:22,464 --> 00:02:24,469
Not listening to the inner voice

35
00:02:24,469 --> 00:02:27,985
leads the body to try to 
communicate in other ways.

36
00:02:27,985 --> 00:02:32,196
Through things like stomach aches and
headaches and illnesses and even disease

37
00:02:32,196 --> 00:02:35,500
Not to mention that the universe 
will magnify the inner voice

38
00:02:35,500 --> 00:02:37,265
through your external reality,

39
00:02:37,265 --> 00:02:40,302
so you can no longer run 
from your own inner truth.

40
00:02:40,302 --> 00:02:42,328
Which is less than comfortable.

41
00:02:42,328 --> 00:02:45,328
I don't want you to think that 
the inner voice is always pure.

42
00:02:45,328 --> 00:02:47,817
Because it is in fact distorted.

43
00:02:47,827 --> 00:02:51,589
It is distorted by our shadows, the 
things that we're unconscious of.

44
00:02:51,589 --> 00:02:55,465
It's distorted by our 
beliefs, our experiences.

45
00:02:55,465 --> 00:02:58,974
It is also made up of the 
aspect of us that is eternal,

46
00:02:58,974 --> 00:03:02,704
that is untouched, that 
is completely clear.

47
00:03:02,704 --> 00:03:07,230
The aspect of us that we 
associate with pure intuition.

48
00:03:07,230 --> 00:03:09,355
Our inner voice will reflect

49
00:03:09,355 --> 00:03:12,649
exactly what is real about 
us at this moment.

50
00:03:12,649 --> 00:03:16,132
Both in a state of purity 
and a state of impurity.

51
00:03:16,132 --> 00:03:18,295
It will reflect the fact 
that we are both

52
00:03:18,295 --> 00:03:19,884
shadow and light.

53
00:03:19,884 --> 00:03:24,464
so I'm not really concerned with 
you discerning between the two,

54
00:03:24,464 --> 00:03:26,714
because both are real.

55
00:03:26,844 --> 00:03:31,574
obviously the more conscious, the more
aware, the more shadow work you do,

56
00:03:31,574 --> 00:03:35,776
your inner voice will become 
purer and purer and purer

57
00:03:35,776 --> 00:03:39,658
as a more accurate representation 
of who you really are.

58
00:03:39,658 --> 00:03:42,887
Now, here's something really important.

59
00:03:42,887 --> 00:03:46,374
Most people in the field of
wellness and spirituality

60
00:03:46,374 --> 00:03:48,728
are gonna tell you that 
it's important to ignore

61
00:03:48,728 --> 00:03:53,223
the inner voice that judges, that criticizes, 
that's constantly making a commentary

62
00:03:53,223 --> 00:03:56,680
and a negative one, usually, 
on the external life,

63
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:01,009
and to only pay attention to the inner
voice that has good things to say.

64
00:04:01,009 --> 00:04:03,378
But I completely disagree.

65
00:04:03,378 --> 00:04:06,060
Because both aspects 
of your inner voice

66
00:04:06,060 --> 00:04:09,683
represent what is real about 
you in the current moment.

67
00:04:09,683 --> 00:04:12,460
And if you ignore the 
inner voice in you

68
00:04:12,460 --> 00:04:16,047
that is constantly making a negative 
commentary of everything in your life,

69
00:04:16,047 --> 00:04:18,935
the rest of your inner voice 
will be suppressed as well,

70
00:04:18,935 --> 00:04:21,774
because it is part of 
the very same thing.

71
00:04:21,774 --> 00:04:24,991
Whether it's saying something negative
or saying something positive,

72
00:04:24,991 --> 00:04:27,472
it is your inner voice
that is talking.

73
00:04:27,472 --> 00:04:29,681
When you hear this aspect 
of your inner voice,

74
00:04:29,681 --> 00:04:32,297
the one that's constantly making
a negative commentary,

75
00:04:32,297 --> 00:04:35,945
that's an indication that your inner 
voice is trying to pull your attention

76
00:04:35,945 --> 00:04:39,333
towards an aspect of you that 
desperately needs attention.

77
00:04:39,333 --> 00:04:41,791
Because the quality of your attention,

78
00:04:41,791 --> 00:04:47,399
is pure unfiltered consciousness 
which is the thing that heals.

79
00:04:47,399 --> 00:04:50,666
So it's like drawing your
attention to a wound.

80
00:04:50,666 --> 00:04:54,116
When you focus on these unhealed 
or unconscious aspects of yourself

81
00:04:54,116 --> 00:04:57,767
that the inner voice is trying 
to draw your attention to,

82
00:04:57,767 --> 00:05:02,414
only then when you work through those 
things and give those things attention,

83
00:05:02,414 --> 00:05:04,763
can the aspect of your 
inner voice that operates

84
00:05:04,763 --> 00:05:11,252
from a space of complete clarity and 
empowerment, actually speak to you.

85
00:05:11,252 --> 00:05:13,275
So I am going to boldly tell you,

86
00:05:13,275 --> 00:05:17,898
that even if you were to do absolutely 
no shadow work whatsoever,

87
00:05:17,898 --> 00:05:22,488
it would still be critical for you to 
listen to your internal voice,

88
00:05:22,488 --> 00:05:24,939
no matter what it says.

89
00:05:24,939 --> 00:05:30,627
Because it still represents what's real
about you right here and now.

90
00:05:30,627 --> 00:05:36,291
Now, I'm not telling you to believe that
what your inner voice says is true.

91
00:05:36,291 --> 00:05:39,101
I'm just asking you not 
to disbelieve it either.

92
00:05:39,101 --> 00:05:45,379
I'm asking you instead to see whatever the 
inner voice says as valid and as important.

93
00:05:45,379 --> 00:05:49,402
Something can be valid even 
if it isn't necessarily true.

94
00:05:49,402 --> 00:05:53,748
Something can be important 
even if it isn't necessarily true.

95
00:05:53,748 --> 00:05:57,956
When we are not connected to the inner 
voice we are in a state of unconsciousness.

96
00:05:57,956 --> 00:06:00,651
Effectively we're in self-denial.

97
00:06:00,651 --> 00:06:03,459
Our inner voice could be 
screaming: "I hate that person.",

98
00:06:03,459 --> 00:06:06,367
but on the surface we might 
say: "Oh I really like him."

99
00:06:06,367 --> 00:06:09,233
Or our inner voice could be saying: 
"I wanna be a singer,"

100
00:06:09,233 --> 00:06:10,819
but on the surface 
we may say:

101
00:06:10,819 --> 00:06:13,005
"I wanna do whatever
makes sense to me,

102
00:06:13,005 --> 00:06:18,331
you know, like it's really important for me 
to just, you know, be secure I guess in life.

103
00:06:18,351 --> 00:06:21,254
And so I'm gonna go take
that job in accounting."

104
00:06:21,254 --> 00:06:23,260
We go against our intuition.

105
00:06:23,260 --> 00:06:26,314
Sometimes the disastrous ends.

106
00:06:26,314 --> 00:06:29,754
Our inner self is always communicating
with us about its truth.

107
00:06:29,754 --> 00:06:31,568
We need to begin to listen.

108
00:06:31,568 --> 00:06:34,493
otherwise we have nothing 
real to work with.

109
00:06:34,493 --> 00:06:38,294
For example, there's nothing that 
we can actually do shadow work on

110
00:06:38,294 --> 00:06:43,115
if we're not willing to admit 
that something like that exists.

111
00:06:43,115 --> 00:06:45,102
All of you have experienced this.

112
00:06:45,102 --> 00:06:48,008
When you walk up to somebody 
when they're triggered,

113
00:06:48,008 --> 00:06:51,074
and they say: "No I'm fine. I don't 
know you're talking about."

114
00:06:51,074 --> 00:06:53,020
Even though they're 
obviously upset.

115
00:06:53,020 --> 00:06:56,958
Until we listen to the inner voice and say: 
"Yeah, you're right, I actually feel upset",

116
00:06:56,958 --> 00:06:59,974
there's nothing we can do about it, 
we're dead in the water.

117
00:06:59,974 --> 00:07:03,746
So how do we go about 
listening to the internal voice?

118
00:07:03,746 --> 00:07:09,117
Step 1. We take all of our attention 
off of the external world,

119
00:07:09,117 --> 00:07:13,948
and we place it instead,
entirely in the internal world.

120
00:07:13,948 --> 00:07:16,960
I want you to imagine 
that your skin separates

121
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,973
an inner universe from 
this outer universe.

122
00:07:19,973 --> 00:07:22,658
Pretend they are 
two separate universes.

123
00:07:22,658 --> 00:07:24,932
You are going to take 
all of your attention

124
00:07:24,932 --> 00:07:27,347
and place it on the 
internal universe.

125
00:07:27,347 --> 00:07:31,160
If you need to close your
eyes to do this, feel free.

126
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,935
Step 2. You're going to pay 
attention to the sensations

127
00:07:33,935 --> 00:07:36,710
that are happening in 
the internal universe.

128
00:07:36,710 --> 00:07:40,234
You're gonna be completely 
unconditionally present with them.

129
00:07:40,234 --> 00:07:43,876
You're going to observe them like 
they're a unique sensory experience.

130
00:07:43,876 --> 00:07:48,675
step 3. You're going to make your 
interaction with this sensation,

131
00:07:48,675 --> 00:07:51,575
much more real and tangible.

132
00:07:51,575 --> 00:07:54,869
Especially for your mind, so 
your mind can comprehend it.

133
00:07:54,869 --> 00:07:57,899
For example, if the sensation 
that I'm experiencing in my body

134
00:07:57,899 --> 00:07:59,829
was a color, 
what would it be?

135
00:07:59,829 --> 00:08:02,844
If it was a texture, what
would that texture be?

136
00:08:02,844 --> 00:08:04,928
Is it moving or is it still?

137
00:08:04,928 --> 00:08:07,277
if it was a shape, 
what would it be?

138
00:08:07,277 --> 00:08:09,206
Then take it further.

139
00:08:09,206 --> 00:08:13,059
If this sensation where an image,
what would the image be?

140
00:08:13,059 --> 00:08:16,569
Step 4. You're going to mentally
engage with this image

141
00:08:16,579 --> 00:08:21,266
which is a translation of the sensation 
taking place within the internal world,

142
00:08:21,266 --> 00:08:24,932
as if the sensation itself
is a separate being or thing

143
00:08:24,932 --> 00:08:27,646
that can talk to you about itself.

144
00:08:27,646 --> 00:08:30,781
Which is really talking 
to you about you.

145
00:08:30,781 --> 00:08:34,602
Step 5. You're gonna begin 
to ask it questions.

146
00:08:34,602 --> 00:08:38,725
Any question you feel like asking, 
is a good question to ask.

147
00:08:38,725 --> 00:08:42,805
Ask it questions about itself and 
about its perspective about you.

148
00:08:42,805 --> 00:08:45,615
Questions like, what are you?

149
00:08:45,615 --> 00:08:48,812
What do you represent?

150
00:08:48,812 --> 00:08:51,371
Why are you here right now?

151
00:08:51,371 --> 00:08:54,392
What do you want me to know?

152
00:08:54,392 --> 00:08:56,746
What do you want me to do?

153
00:08:56,746 --> 00:09:01,360
What is the truth that I don't want 
to admit to and express right now?

154
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,115
If I were to tell the absolute 
truth in this situation

155
00:09:04,115 --> 00:09:07,070
and weren't afraid to do so, 
what would the truth be?

156
00:09:07,070 --> 00:09:10,415
Step 6. You're going to listen 
to the answers that come

157
00:09:10,415 --> 00:09:12,620
as a result of those questions.

158
00:09:12,620 --> 00:09:15,894
It doesn't matter whether you 
get the answers audibly

159
00:09:15,894 --> 00:09:18,849
or whether you just get them in 
terms of a sense of knowing.

160
00:09:18,849 --> 00:09:20,888
Or whether you see the answers.

161
00:09:20,888 --> 00:09:25,590
However those answers come to 
you, you're going to engage with,

162
00:09:25,590 --> 00:09:29,000
you're intuitively going 
to take this process

163
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,410
wherever you feel 
like it needs to go.

164
00:09:32,410 --> 00:09:35,360
no matter what answers you 
receive or how you receive them,

165
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,705
this is the inner voice 
communicating with you.

166
00:09:38,705 --> 00:09:42,500
This is you hearing the inner voice.

167
00:09:42,500 --> 00:09:45,550
Step 7. Have a conversation with yourself

168
00:09:45,550 --> 00:09:50,900
now that you've asked this aspect of 
yourself this inner voice these questions.

169
00:09:50,900 --> 00:09:54,362
I don't need to teach you how
to have a conversation.

170
00:09:54,362 --> 00:09:57,398
You will intuitively know
exactly how to do that.

171
00:09:57,398 --> 00:10:00,164
How to respond to the image 
that has come to you

172
00:10:00,164 --> 00:10:02,750
that is representing 
this internal truth.

173
00:10:02,750 --> 00:10:05,879
You will know what to ask 
as a result of the answers

174
00:10:05,879 --> 00:10:08,248
that you get from the inner voice.

175
00:10:08,248 --> 00:10:11,400
And you can let the process
naturally unfold from there.

176
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,535
Talking to yourself internally

177
00:10:13,535 --> 00:10:16,850
is you having a conversation 
with your inner voice.

178
00:10:16,850 --> 00:10:19,430
There is no right or 
wrong way to do this.

179
00:10:19,430 --> 00:10:21,440
When you are feeling 
a strong emotion

180
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,721
such as when you're 
triggered or feel inspired,

181
00:10:23,721 --> 00:10:26,180
the inner voice is calling
for you to listen.

182
00:10:26,180 --> 00:10:29,232
Don't ever think that if you don't 
know the reason why you feel

183
00:10:29,232 --> 00:10:31,735
the way you do, that 
there isn't a reason.

184
00:10:31,735 --> 00:10:35,492
But even if the inner voice isn't 
actively calling for your attention

185
00:10:35,492 --> 00:10:37,310
and calling for you to listen.

186
00:10:37,310 --> 00:10:40,073
It's really important for
us to listen anyway.

187
00:10:40,073 --> 00:10:41,895
What we do with our 
own inner voice,

188
00:10:41,895 --> 00:10:44,347
is the same as we would do 
with a romantic partner.

189
00:10:44,347 --> 00:10:45,608
If we had a partner,

190
00:10:45,608 --> 00:10:49,250
it doesn't matter whether they were 
triggered or feeling super super happy,

191
00:10:49,250 --> 00:10:54,570
we wouldn't wait for that circumstance to
come up, we would go check in with them.

192
00:10:54,570 --> 00:10:59,426
We would take time to essentially,
during the day, say hey how are you?

193
00:10:59,426 --> 00:11:03,372
How's it going? How do you feel
today? What do you want today?

194
00:11:03,372 --> 00:11:05,828
If you're not sure what 
your inner voice is saying,

195
00:11:05,828 --> 00:11:08,769
I want you to be really, 
really patient with it.

196
00:11:08,769 --> 00:11:11,048
Delay making decisions.

197
00:11:11,048 --> 00:11:16,361
I want you to be able to give it time to
completely fully express itself to you.

198
00:11:16,361 --> 00:11:20,271
So that when you take actions as a 
result of listening to your inner voice,

199
00:11:20,271 --> 00:11:23,230
all of you can be in alignment
with that movement.

200
00:11:23,230 --> 00:11:27,529
If you try this process and the 
inner voice doesn't talk to you

201
00:11:27,529 --> 00:11:29,348
or isn't communicating to you.

202
00:11:29,348 --> 00:11:32,059
you're getting no impressions 
from your internal world,

203
00:11:32,059 --> 00:11:34,410
I also need you to be patient.

204
00:11:34,410 --> 00:11:37,410
what's happening is that you 
suppressed your inner voice

205
00:11:37,410 --> 00:11:40,131
and ignored your inner 
reality for so long,

206
00:11:40,131 --> 00:11:43,660
that that aspect of you that's wounded 
by the fact that you've done that,

207
00:11:43,660 --> 00:11:45,200
is testing you.

208
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:46,441
It's basically saying,

209
00:11:46,441 --> 00:11:48,959
"why the hell should I believe
that you're gonna do this now?"

210
00:11:48,959 --> 00:11:52,224
"I don't want to talk to you, you 
haven't listened to me for so long

211
00:11:52,224 --> 00:11:55,380
what's to say you're not just gonna
go back to ignoring me again?"

212
00:11:55,380 --> 00:11:57,269
So if you got this 
type of inner voice,

213
00:11:57,269 --> 00:12:00,643
it's essential for you to
be even more present.

214
00:12:00,643 --> 00:12:03,934
Continue coming back and
continue coming back,

215
00:12:03,934 --> 00:12:07,813
no matter how long it takes, no matter 
how many times you have to do it,

216
00:12:07,813 --> 00:12:11,950
until it begins to trust you
enough to talk to you.

217
00:12:11,950 --> 00:12:15,560
Chances are if this is how your own
inner voice is interacting with you,

218
00:12:15,560 --> 00:12:18,370
it doesn't trust you because 
you have an abusive pattern

219
00:12:18,370 --> 00:12:20,340
with responding to yourself.

220
00:12:20,340 --> 00:12:22,765
So what I want you 
to do to understand

221
00:12:22,765 --> 00:12:26,340
the steps for how to 
address your own emotions

222
00:12:26,340 --> 00:12:28,357
is to watch my video titled:

223
00:12:28,357 --> 00:12:30,675
"The Emotional Wake Up Call"

224
00:12:30,675 --> 00:12:32,902
The tonality that I 
use in that exercise

225
00:12:32,902 --> 00:12:36,810
is the way I want you interacting 
with your own inner voice.

226
00:12:36,810 --> 00:12:39,273
Practice connecting
with your heart.

227
00:12:39,273 --> 00:12:45,083
Your inner voice speaks 
loudest through your heart.

228
00:12:45,083 --> 00:12:49,046
To understand how to do this I want 
you to watch my youtube video titled:

229
00:12:49,046 --> 00:12:52,219
"How To Connect With Your Heart"

230
00:12:52,219 --> 00:12:53,568
But what's important to know

231
00:12:53,568 --> 00:12:56,468
is that your inner voice can speak 
through any aspect of you

232
00:12:56,468 --> 00:12:58,614
your inner voice can speak
through your mind,

233
00:12:58,614 --> 00:13:01,975
it can speak through your heart, it
can speak through your fingernails,

234
00:13:01,975 --> 00:13:06,996
it can speak for your pancreas, it can
speak on behalf of any aspect of you.

235
00:13:06,996 --> 00:13:08,266
Why can it do this?

236
00:13:08,266 --> 00:13:12,166
Because your inner voice 
represents the real you.

237
00:13:12,166 --> 00:13:14,073
With enough practice,

238
00:13:14,073 --> 00:13:18,390
you're not gonna have to shut off 
your senses to go find your inner voice.

239
00:13:18,390 --> 00:13:21,529
It's not gonna be a whisper,
it's gonna to be a yell.

240
00:13:21,529 --> 00:13:23,724
So instead of going to find it,

241
00:13:23,724 --> 00:13:27,619
to listen so deeply to it, it's 
going to come up to meet you.

242
00:13:27,619 --> 00:13:30,911
In fact, it's gonna become unavoidable.

243
00:13:30,911 --> 00:13:33,060
As you're engaging with 
the external world

244
00:13:33,060 --> 00:13:36,629
you will literally hear your 
internal voice all the time.

245
00:13:36,629 --> 00:13:42,509
And then, you can be an expression of
that truth and reality within yourself.

246
00:13:42,509 --> 00:13:44,914
It's not gonna be a 
mystery, what you think

247
00:13:44,914 --> 00:13:48,009
and how you feel and what you 
want and what you don't want.

248
00:13:48,009 --> 00:13:51,435
That being said, expression 
is a really really critical

249
00:13:51,435 --> 00:13:55,372
way to get the inner voice 
to go from quiet to loud.

250
00:13:55,372 --> 00:13:57,895
It became quiet because 
we suppressed it.

251
00:13:57,895 --> 00:14:00,998
We essentially sent it the 
message that, guess what?

252
00:14:00,998 --> 00:14:05,575
"My parents or my caregivers or my school
teachers or my peers are right about me."

253
00:14:05,575 --> 00:14:07,405
"My voice doesn't matter."

254
00:14:07,405 --> 00:14:10,780
That's essentially you saying to 
yourself: "You don't matter voice."

255
00:14:10,780 --> 00:14:12,469
So the voice shrinks.

256
00:14:12,469 --> 00:14:14,305
We didn't allow it 
to express itself.

257
00:14:14,305 --> 00:14:16,598
So, what's the opposite of that
suppression?

258
00:14:16,598 --> 00:14:17,911
Expression!

259
00:14:17,911 --> 00:14:21,113
For this reason, I want you to 
learn how to express yourself,

260
00:14:21,113 --> 00:14:23,336
and to make an 
active practice of it.

261
00:14:23,336 --> 00:14:25,146
To understand how 
to express yourself,

262
00:14:25,146 --> 00:14:26,941
you can watch my
youtube video titled:

263
00:14:26,941 --> 00:14:29,857
"How To Express Your Emotions"

264
00:14:29,857 --> 00:14:32,535
Our inner voice is always 
talking to us about the things

265
00:14:32,535 --> 00:14:35,233
we experience in our life and 
the people that we meet.

266
00:14:35,233 --> 00:14:38,971
In the beginning, when we are first 
starting to listen to our inner voice

267
00:14:38,971 --> 00:14:40,489
we need to stop and reflect.

268
00:14:40,489 --> 00:14:43,488
We need to trace back over what
was said and what happened,

269
00:14:43,488 --> 00:14:47,442
what we thought about it, how
we felt about what we thought.

270
00:14:47,442 --> 00:14:50,260
When we do this the inner 
voice honors the pathway

271
00:14:50,260 --> 00:14:54,479
by which we arrived at our intuitive 
reaction in any given situation.

272
00:14:54,479 --> 00:14:57,689
It makes our intuition much more acute.

273
00:14:57,689 --> 00:15:00,805
It enables us to identify 
the concrete reasons why,

274
00:15:00,805 --> 00:15:03,021
for example, we hesitated 
to make a decision,

275
00:15:03,041 --> 00:15:05,089
that on the surface 
seemed like a good one.

276
00:15:05,089 --> 00:15:07,484
The more often you're 
able to recognize why

277
00:15:07,484 --> 00:15:09,589
you have the instinctual 
reactions you do,

278
00:15:09,589 --> 00:15:12,121
the more comfortable you'll
be with your intuition.

279
00:15:12,121 --> 00:15:15,759
You'll come to learn that your 
inner voice can be trusted.

280
00:15:15,759 --> 00:15:17,429
here's another tip;

281
00:15:17,429 --> 00:15:21,142
I want you to be really really conscious 
about surrounding yourself

282
00:15:21,142 --> 00:15:24,838
with people in your life who actually 
care about your inner voice.

283
00:15:24,838 --> 00:15:26,712
People who are gonna help you

284
00:15:26,712 --> 00:15:30,796
to make it louder, instead of 
to tell it that it doesn't matter.

285
00:15:30,796 --> 00:15:35,055
Now most of us who have an 
inner voice that doesn't speak,

286
00:15:35,055 --> 00:15:38,130
we're surrounded by people who 
make our inner voice not matter.

287
00:15:38,130 --> 00:15:41,712
It's not gonna work very much 
for you to be doing all this work

288
00:15:41,712 --> 00:15:44,917
on really expressing yourself 
and really listening to your voice

289
00:15:44,917 --> 00:15:47,263
with an entire orchestra 
outside you saying:

290
00:15:47,263 --> 00:15:51,600
"Screw that what you think and want
and don't want doesn't matter."

291
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,410
So, if you're serious about 
making this inner voice speak

292
00:15:55,410 --> 00:15:58,186
surround yourself or spend 
time with, selectively,

293
00:15:58,186 --> 00:16:01,883
the people who are gonna make you 
aware of what the inner voice is saying.

294
00:16:01,883 --> 00:16:04,703
I want you to involve people 
in your spiritual practice.

295
00:16:04,703 --> 00:16:07,518
That means if you're in the 
development of the inner voice,

296
00:16:07,518 --> 00:16:10,204
I want you to go to your friends,
the ones who you trust,

297
00:16:10,204 --> 00:16:13,017
the ones you know will actively 
participate in this process

298
00:16:13,017 --> 00:16:14,850
and say: "Hey guys 
here's the issue:

299
00:16:14,850 --> 00:16:18,554
I have a real problem when 
it comes to understanding

300
00:16:18,554 --> 00:16:20,878
what my inner voice 
is saying to me."

301
00:16:20,878 --> 00:16:22,080
"I can't hear it."

302
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,528
"And when we all as a group 
decide to do something,

303
00:16:24,528 --> 00:16:27,256
I don't even know if I want 
to do that thing or not."

304
00:16:27,256 --> 00:16:29,871
"Sometimes I just feel resistance
but I don't know why."

305
00:16:29,871 --> 00:16:33,124
"So what I need your
help, friends, to do,

306
00:16:33,124 --> 00:16:36,209
is to feel into when you 
think that my inner voice

307
00:16:36,209 --> 00:16:39,175
may be saying something 
that I'm not listening to,

308
00:16:39,175 --> 00:16:42,660
and direct me back towards 
it so that I can listen to it,

309
00:16:42,660 --> 00:16:46,738
figure out what it's saying and 
then enable me to take actions

310
00:16:46,738 --> 00:16:50,816
in accordance with what 
my inner voice is saying."

311
00:16:50,816 --> 00:16:54,490
Sooner or later if you ignore and
suppress your inner voice,

312
00:16:54,490 --> 00:16:57,150
the universe isn't going to 
let you do it anymore.

313
00:16:57,150 --> 00:17:00,210
Your life is going to become 
quite literally so uncomfortable

314
00:17:00,210 --> 00:17:04,160
that everything will 
drag you back to it.

315
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,656
Until you can't ignore it anymore.

316
00:17:06,656 --> 00:17:09,423
And then you're gonna 
have to shift everything.

317
00:17:09,423 --> 00:17:11,436
And it's not a 
comfortable process.

318
00:17:11,436 --> 00:17:13,972
I'm not gonna make an 
enemy of that process

319
00:17:13,972 --> 00:17:15,559
if it's the road that you take,

320
00:17:15,559 --> 00:17:18,239
but I'd rather you just start 
living your life according

321
00:17:18,239 --> 00:17:19,959
to your inner voice 
from the get-go,

322
00:17:19,959 --> 00:17:22,991
so life doesn't have to 
become so painful for you.

323
00:17:22,991 --> 00:17:26,699
Live your life according to
what is real about you.

324
00:17:26,699 --> 00:17:29,539
Admit to what's real and 
listen to your inner voice

325
00:17:29,539 --> 00:17:33,899
and never let your inner voice be
drowned out by the voice of others.
