#47 – Guided Meditation: Asking Your Highest Self for Guidance
If you're anything like me, you're always searching for the right answer to every question.
Like when I wanted to run an ultramarathon, I not only read a book and scoured every website I could find for training advice. I actually got certified as an ultramarathon coach to make sure I was doing it PERFECT. #queenofoverdoingit
But you know who a lot of us aren't asking for guidance?
The most important person — ourselves.
Learning to ask yourself for guidance is a game-changer.
Putting your own guidance first is a game-changer.
Learning to trust your own authority is a game-changer.
I could have avoided so much difficulty in life by simply asking myself, "What do I really think about this?" (Before diving in headfirst 😂 .)
Did you know your mind is holding onto every piece of wisdom, every insight, every helpful thought, every creative idea you've ever had?
You can't access them all with your conscious mind. Because think about it. Knowing everything at once would be like extreme ADHD.
But you can access anything you need to when you need it! And meditation is a great way to do that.
So today on the podcast, I'm sharing the wise advocate meditation. (You can also think of it as the "highest self meditation," if that lands better.)
Have fun going inside your brain and asking (yourself) any question you want!
I do this one all the time, and I'm always surprised what answers come through.
