Dear Intuition Newsletter friends:
I often receive requests for techniques on how to develop and trust intuition. Below I describe one of my favorites. I call it the
"Sleep On It" technique
for inner guidance! If you're more of a visual or auditory learner,
Sometimes a challenge feels a bit overwhelming and it's difficult to get your logical, rational mind out of the way to listen for the intuitive insights. You may find you get the best answers when you turn your brain off and go to sleep.
On a pad of paper or in a notebook, write a few paragraphs about the decision you're trying to make. Summarize the issue into a one-sentence question. Example: "Should I pursue this new career direction?" Or, "How can I create more abundance in my life?"
You might also simply ask for information about an issue. "I need information about my career direction." Or, "I need to know about how to create more abundance."
State the question or issue over and over in your mind as you drift off to sleep.
As you wake up try not to come FULLY awake at first. Ask yourself, "Did I have a dream about my decision?" Pick up your paper and begin to write any phrases, images or dream fragments that you remember.
If it's a big decision, you may need to repeat this exercise over two or three nights.
Happy dreams! ;-)
