Inner Guidance through emotional feelings!

Positive and negative emotions / feelings are like a feedback mechanism within us. They tell us if we are working towards our goal or we are deviating from our path.

Have you ever experienced something like this - you just don't feel right about going out to your own friends place on some day? You might experience some feeling for what so ever no logical reason. Something inside you might tell you that it is not right for you, when actually you are not thinking about it. The same way, have you ever experience immense joy or happiness in your heart doing something?

The emotions being described here, are something spontaneous! They come uninfluenced by your wants and desires at the conscious level. Such emotions are real inner guidance for you coming straight from the divine. It just merely means that you are well connected to divine that time.

Read such emotional guidance given to you from within and act accordingly. Trust your intuition and simply surrender to divine. Do not try to find out reasons or logic behind it. You might later discover that what ever happened or whatever guidance you got from your inner intuition has indeed saved you / done good to you! There have been many such real life incidents suggesting the power of inner-guidance in our lives. Like the one described in Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalaam's biography where he avoided a major mishap (when he turned one of the nozzle in opp. direction just in time before it started leaking and thus avoided some major accident!) by following his inner intuition.

So, read on the signs from within. Watch how do you feel when you are about to make a major decision or plan or anything critical. Do you feel happy, relieved or stressful and painful? Watch how your emotions give feedback about the decision you are about to make. Again, the important point is to be in divine communion and not be influenced by the upper-conscious level wishes and desires. One might be easily mis-guided by his short-lived, fluctuating emotions which are very superficial in nature rather than intuitive which are very strong and coming from deep within.

Try to read the intuitive feedback emotions - the ones which are uninfluenced by any of your top level 'wishes'. These are the real inner guidance coming to help you. Focus on your heart to understand the intuition rather than on your mind/brain. The more focus you lay on your heart, the more clear becomes your intuition. The more work you give to your brain/mind, the less you understand the inner-guidance coming to you.

Guidance comes from within. But we can understand it only when we go within! All we need is the attitude of surrender to divine will and an open mind to embrace the life as it comes.
