To tune in to your inner guidance system, you need to practice. The more you focus on developing your intuitive gifts, the more they will respond to you. If you can find a regular time once a day when you can focus on communicating with your unconscious and your Universal Mind, you will develop a habit of connecting to your inner guidance system. You will add a posthypnotic suggestion to help you with this automatic process.

If you would like to try this exercise, find a comfortable place, either sitting or lying down, loosen your clothes, take a deep breath of air, and slowly exhale. You may now focus on your third eye. As you slowly breathe in and out, you may be aware that you have many muscles; some of them are tight, and some of them are relaxed.

The more you allow the tight muscles to relax, the more relaxed you will become. In a few moments you may count down from five to zero, feeling yourself going deeper and deeper with each number. As you go deeper and deeper, you will feel your connection to your third eye becoming stronger and stronger.

Feel the Connection

As you feel the connection getting stronger, you will be aware that you are receiving a beam of light and energy that is flowing into your third eye from the Universe. This beam is good and positive, and it flows freely into your inner guidance system, carrying the wisdom of your soul.

If you are ready, you may start with the first number:

5. You are going deeper and deeper into the Universal Flow. Breathe slowly in and out as you feel the connection through your third eye getting stronger and stronger.

4. You are feeling the Universal Flow as it is received by your inner guidance system. You feel more and more relaxed with each count.

3. You may feel the vibrations of the Universe. As you go to the next number, you are more and more in tune with the flow.

2. You are getting closer and closer. Your breathing relaxes more and more. You are going deeper and deeper.

1. You are almost at the point of a deep and powerful connection to the Universal Mind. You look forward to the last number as you take another breath and go deeper and deeper.

0. You are one with your Universal Mind and your inner guidance system.

Now that the connection is complete, take a few moments to enjoy the strength and peace of the Universe. You may think of many thoughts or concentrate on just one. If you need help or guidance or have a worry, ask the Universal Mind to provide assistance and affirmation that you are in tune with your life map.

Enjoy the Connection

You may receive visual images, hear voices, get a certain feeling, or experience a certain smell or taste. You may get many pieces of information or experience nothing at all. Whatever happens is right for you at the time. Allow yourself to feel good, as you remain connected to the Universal Mind.

If you have a specific belief, you may communicate with it. Give yourself a key word or a touch with a finger to remind you later of how you can experience this positive feeling any time. When you're ready, count yourself back up to five, awaking relaxed and in tune with your inner guidance system. It is possible that you may have answers when you return, or they may take time. Remember — always be ready to receive.
