It is really quite simple. When you feel good, that is any positive emotion, you are feeling empowered. When you are feeling bad, that is any negative emotion, you feeling dis empowered. We came here knowing, on a very deep level, that we are God incarnate, we are the sole creators of our experiences here. Then as we traverse the herculion task of growing up, most of us are trained to do as we are told and ignore our feels, intuition and gut responses.All of which are are 'right on' for us.
If you are looking for for someone or something or some group to give you guidance....anything outside of yourself will let you down every time no exception. That doesn't mean that they are bad people or things or groups. You are simply asking the impossible. The only one who can accurately know what you want, wish to have,do, or be is YOU. We all only have our unique perspective by which we perceive the world and when anyone claims to know what is best for you what they are really saying is " if you do things MY way than I will be pleased ". We are selfish by nature, we can't be any other way. No matter how objective anyone tries to be they are still unable to give anything but what THEY think is best, from their unique point of reference. It can't possibly be yours because it is theirs. health.medical8.com
The answer to the question "How do I know what is best for me ? " comes from within. Use how you FEEL to guide your way. Call it your DIVINE EMOTIONAL GUIDANCE SYSTEM. If you can sit quietly, contemplating your dilemma and the various ideas that come to mind; with each idea ask yourself " how does this make me feel ? " There is an instant feeling that will accompany the thought. If it is a good (positive) feeling or a bad (negative) feeling. If it is good you are moving in the direction of your divine guidance and if it is bad you are moving away from your divine guidance. Thats it in a nut shell. It may take a bit of practice due to all the conditioning we have had to ignore it but, if you are diligent for a day or two it gets significantly easier and easier.
When you are In joy you are fully empowered, in alignment with your Higher Power and when you feel bad you are dis empowered, out of alignment with Source. The reason it feels bad is because your Higher Power can't join you there and thats a good thing because it is your cue to stop and reevaluate the situation....make a different choice, one that feels better. Little by little as you choose thoughts and feelings that feel better you come back into alignment, back to the joyous state that we intended when we chose to come here.
