The “cool breeze on your hiney,” huh? That’s hysterical! Good thing you’re being proactive!

Like Tom, what I realized was how far out into the future my mind has wandered – no wonder I’ve been feeling that notorious “cool breeze on my hiney” (so to speak LOL)

As you know, I recently purchased your book and last night was FINALLY ready for my first dowsing session. As you say in the book, and here at your blog, I didn’t get very many surprises, except one: When I asked if I was fully expressing my Soul’s highest path and purpose in the life area of Spiritual Development – I got a very definite yes right out of the chute!

Now, ok, this is not a total surprise, I guess, but I really didn’t expect to get any yeses right away in that line of questioning. I really thought I’d have to work my way through the %’s (and I do have to do that with all the other areas in Ex. 1). That yes right away did surprise me. (Made me feel good, too.)

I have much more work to do to complete Ex. 1, but I’m buoyed by that yes, because I feel like if I’m in alignment with Spiritual Development, the rest will align more easily…I’ll be “flowing” vs. “pushing”…at least that’s my hope.

Dreamsenshi – I think sometimes writing just three or four words forces us into a specificity that can get lost in stream-of-consciousness writing. I think of some of these words as profound “triggers” that can jolt us to a higher level of awareness. Let us know how it works for you!

Pat – How cool that you got to take ownership of creating some “funk” in your day! I started this morning with some funk, too, so your comment just snapped me out of creating that all day long! Thank you!

Vitor – I’m so glad this served you! It’s so funny how the anti-spam words become part of the commenting process. I’m thrilled that you are recognizing that our nudges do push and challenge us at times, rather than always making life comfortable and easy.

Alex – Thank you! Let us know what you discover!

That was quite an interesting excercise! I would have added reading this, but I made the list when I was only halfway through the post.

Really a perfect finish for an inspiring day full of nudges (big and small), challenging me to rise above outer influences and just follow my own essence.

Anti-Spam word: Truth.

KL – You got it!

Bente – Wow! What an awesome discovery. You’re right, sometimes we do get too caught up in all the stuff we’re “doing” to listen to Spirit. Luckily, life points this out to us, right?

Tom – Woohoo for creating powerfully! And what awesome recognitions! I’m particularly excited that you realized you’ve been receiving plenty of guidance! That is wonderful.

And of course, we never notice guidance when we’re off in the future … that’s when life yells at us to “come baaack! I’m over here, in the present!”

Mags – What you’re doing is, of course, what we all need to be doing – bringing consciousness to our day AND consciousness to what we’re creating in each moment AND consciousness to what this manifests …. it’s a lot to be conscious of! Sounds like you’re doing great!

Z – Yup, I think we’ve all gotten that kick a few times! See, I think the kick can be avoided if we just pay attention …. all positive learning experiences, all the time. I’m just an optimist by nature!

Thank you to all for trying this out with me, and your feedback!

Blessings,
Andrea

“Choosing conscious awareness is definitely preferable to waiting for life to show us – often quite painfully – what we need to change.”

I’ve found that when I’m not paying attention, I get a figurative “kick in the pants” from life to wake me up!

I read your post this morning, and so far today I’ve been doing a version of the exercise, in the sense that I’ve been more aware of the energy that I’m bringing to each segment of my day. It’s amazed me how different my “default” energy is in many situations from what I would like it to be, and this eye-opener has been the catalyst for me setting much more conscious intentions for the activities I do.

I read your post and sat down immediately to complete the exercise. As a result I had these two realizations.
1). My inventory wasn’t about conversations or occurrences. What mostly came up for me were thoughts concerning future events. I had no idea how far I had removed myself from the present. Some were strong and hopeful but half would have to fall in a somewhat fearful category. Yuck!
2). I’ve been concentrating on requesting guidance on work issues for a few weeks now. This exercise made me realize that I’ve already gotten more than enough guidance to fill my plate. Now my job is to align the appropriate energy to these objectives so I can help the Universe form them as desired.

Thanks Andrea this was useful and powerful!

So you look at the energy generated throughout the day and figure out what it says about you… and then figure out what to bring to it to change that energy?

Am I getting it now?

This morning, another bad dream. It’s like my Higher Power is making sure I turn things over. So I decided to have another slow day, although I did post new article and worked on my draft of PR in the afternoon. Checked the lottery result and looks like I won $12! It’s not a huge amount, but this is my first time to win a lottery. I also received some kind emails from a few friends.

What do all these mean? Hmm. . . It seems I get more things done when I don’t push too hard? And you know I push (work) hard. I am not sure how to interpret all the events — hoping to do away with the bad dream . . .
