A good question
Q. Dear Miss Hey, My name is Eric Davidson, I am a 20 year old film student in Washington, D.C.. I practice two forms of self exploration, one is through a form of martial arts called Ka Ju Kembo, the other is through daily meditation. Recently, through a form of meditation intended to help me find answers to unsolved questions, I recieved an answer that didn't sit well with me at all. How can I be sure my inner voice is telling me the truth, or if what I think is my inner voice is actually a manifestation of my inner fears? I am not experienced enough in the art of meditation to know the difference, and being such an advocate of the practice yourself I was hoping you could help. I realize you're probably very busy and I saw on your website that you can't respond to these e-mails, but I was hoping in this case you could make an exception. I wont tell anyone I promise. Eric
Answer.Thats a good question Eric, one I laboured with for many years.. But now I have the answer.. Your Highest Guidence will not ever tell you anything negative or fearful, they will only give you positive answers to guide you into the right direction if you are currently going along on the wrong path. If you got a negative answer, or one that made you frightened, it was not your Guidence, it was most definately your inner fears. You can always tell if the message you are receiving is from above, it is always loving. Like a mother who loves her children and wants to encourgae them to heal themselves, she will never chastize, that will not encourage the child to motivate themselves to do good, it will do the opposite.. A good mother will praise the childs good qualities and make positive suggestions that will solve the problem. Your Highest Guidence is like a good mother!
How can you tell its the truth? Wll, from its loving nature..
Folk often say, trust the first thing that pops into your head, but Ive found that doesnt work, in the past Ive had 'Youre a fat idiot' pop into my head. LOL, now I KNOW that that wasnt my Highest Guidence, that was ME, it was my inner voice of low esteem..
Meditation is a self healing tool, it provides you with a channel of education that you can choose to follow. You have to put in the work, but you will NEVER be alone, you will ALWAYS have help if you ASK FOR IT!
I get stressed and depressed and cranky just like everyone else, Im only human, but I have the tools that will soothe me and heal me if I choose to stop and indulge in Meditation. Sometimes in our frantic lives we forget to heal ourselves, but at least we know we can, all we have to do is close our eyes and ask.. You will receive what you ask for, so ask for positive nourishing self healing and Guidence. Ask for doors to open to show you the direction you need to go in. If you dont know what your purpose is, then ask to be shown your purpose. NEVER EVER listen to that little negative voice inside you, doubt breeds doubt.
Make sure you are focusing on connecting with your Highest Guidence.. When you begin meditating, read this 'I ask for my Highest Guidence to come through, I ask for protection from dark or mischevious entities, help and guidence, wisdom and teaching'.. Sometimes your own inner demons, as we call the low esteem bugs, will try to bring you down, if that happens, just read that again.. and again..
I dont know where you live, but see if you can come to one of my meditation classes sometime. Pop over to my meditation site and take a peek at the workshop page, it will tell you where Im teaching next. Im in the process of getting regular LA classes set up at present. More on that later.
Hope this helps a bit?
