In our Modern World, life can get really hard and really fast. We waste a lot of time and energy running about, and also place a lot of value on our left brains – our rational minds. This will give you powerful help for ideas your can put to work right away.

In spite of all this, somewhere, profound in our souls, we know the value of slowing down and connecting to our internal wisdom, connecting to our right brains – that place of profound intuition and originality that holds so many answers and so much richness for us.

Here is a catalog of my absolute preferred top 5 ways to really settle in and listen to the treasury of wisdom that your heart and soul has for you. None of them need to take up a lot of time or effort! Connecting to your interior wisdom can be easy and flowing. For ideas don’t come easy and quickly with no action on your part.

1) Journaling: To cut through the mind’s chitter chatter and get straight to your internal wisdom, journaling works best if you write quick, without stopping, without worrying about grammar or language, or even full sentences. The name of the game is here is to write swiftly without judgement or even thought, and see what comes up for you. It helps to start with a challenging phrase like: “I am a woman who…..” or “I am here….”

2) Dancing: I’m not talking about social dancing. This type of dancing that really connects you to your inner wisdom is done alone, or with one person watching you. Put on music that moves you, close your eyes, take a few bottomless breathes to feel into your body, and start moving. Be open to where the actions want to take you, and the emotions and visions that come up and out of you as you move. After you finish your movement, taking a few moments to share your experience with a partner or write your experience will help you put your internal wisdom that emerged into words.

3)Drawing: You don’t need any formal training in art whatsoever to connect to your personal wisdom through drawing. Come to the blank paper without any preconceived ideas or judgement or ideas, and draw what comes to mind. Draw how you feel. Or, ask you internal wisdom a question, and then draw it out. For example, asking a question as simple as “What do I need to know right now?” can yield rich imagery that might hold some interesting answers for you.

4) Visualization: Visualization can be as simple as closing your eyes, and calling forth your wise self. See her and and ask her questions. You’ll be shocked at what can come to light!

5) Breathing: Taking just a few minutes to sit still, shut your eyes and focus on your breathe, can really help you to slow down, get settled, and begin to really unite with your body, to sense and feel into yourself. My suggestion is to very consciously focus on each part of your body, sending breathe to each part, and ask yourself how you feel. Become aware of where you feel open and where you feel closed. Connecting to your body in this way is a wonderful opportunity to get present. For ideas are the thinks all other things come from ans with out the thought before the action nothing is all you get.
