How to Easily Access Your Inner Guidance


I’m becoming more and more committed to seeking guidance – my own higher guidance and wisdom that’s always available when I remember to connect to it.

(Can you guess what the image on the left has to do with hearing my inner guidance? Read on and you’ll find out!)

Do you know that your own inner wisdom is always available for you to hear?

I bet you do. I bet you’ve had more than one experience of  awe at the clarity and loving compassion that’s come through you in one form or another – for yourself or another.

But, if you’re like me, you also forget it’s there, forget to turn in that direction, forget to ask, and forget to listen.

I certainly forget, all the time. Like with any practice, remembering to do it, and developing a daily habit of one or two simple actions, is the most important step – and the hardest one.

Meditating, journaling with my higher self, or consulting a card to connect to my guidance for the day – that’s easy. It’s also enjoyable and helpful. My day goes better if I start it that way. I feel more centered and supported. And I remember what’s important.

Yet remembering to make that inner connection for some reason seems to be hard. Overcoming the resistance that is the ego’s reaction to any change, including a change of consciousness  – that’s what’s hard.

That’s why reminders help. That’s why cultivating a habit until it feels like second nature, like brushing my teeth, is so important. That’s why taking seriously the importance of this inner connection and making a commitment to it that’s not based on how I feel, is major.

That remembering, and developing a regular habit of inner connection, can actually be the turning point of life.

The other day, before hosting a webinar for my friend Pam Hale about her wonderful tool for accessing inner wisdom, the Sand Spirit Insight Cards, I decided to pull a card from her deck for myself.
I turned the cards face down on my bed, swirled them around with my hand and let my eye be drawn to one card that seemed to be calling me. When I turned it over, I saw the suggestion of a figure leaning over to the left. (That’s the card featured above. Take a look and see if you see the same thing.)

But I realized that from the figure’s vantage point, she was leaning to her right. Her head was clearly tilting in that direction, and perched on top of her head, a little right of center, was a little white feather – like a delicate antenna pointed at the sky.

What was the message I got from this card? You guessed it: Listen. Connect to guidance. Tune in. Lean into my right brain and keep that antenna up.

This is also the message of the Sand Spirit cards themselves. So the message was personal for me, but also related to the topic we would be discussing on the call.

I find that when I feel resistance, the easiest thing is to pull a card. Many oracle cards spell out their meaning for you. What’s special about the Sand Spirits is that they invoke and invite your active participation, your tuning in to your own intuition and wisdom. They help you develop inner receptivity to your own wisdom.

The Sand Spirits invite you into a relationship. And they can be companions for life.

By the way, when I checked the number of this particular card- for each card has its own number – it was 29, that day’s date, the date of our call about the Sand Spirit Cards.
There are no accidents!

My Sand Spirit Adventure

I had an inspiring experience today:  a Sand Spirit card session with my good friend, the spiritual coach, shamanic practitioner, and author, Pamela Hale.

The Sand Spirit Insight Cards are a brand new, unique and beautiful self-help tool. This evocative deck of cards contains images from the sea that Pam – who’s also a photographer – captured on a beach in Mexico. With the colorations of the minerals in the sand, colored stones, and bits of vegetation – all exactly as she found them – these images suggest magical and mysterious figures. The more you look at them, the more you see. When you ask them questions, they answer you. It is an illuminating experience to work with these spirits from the sand.

To give you an example of how vividly they can communicate, I’ve included the first two cards I chose, representing my past and present. I was astonished when I looked into the images – the one of the past appeared to be wearing robes that were weighted down with heavy stones, while the one for the present looks to be 9 1/2 months pregnant, and glowing with luminous colors.

I chose other cards as well, and as Pam helped me to explore them from different angles and in different ways, suggesting questions for me to ask, and pointing out images that appeared to her, more and more of the potentials of my life were revealed to me. A card that had at first seemed to defy interpretation turned out to be the richest in associations and totally uplifting to me.

What’s different about this tool is that it requires you to exercise your own intuition, to engage in a dialogue with the images, and to trust the wisdom that arises within you in response to your questions. So these cards act as an oracle that really speaks to you in the voice of your own inner wisdom. And they are a thrilling aesthetic treat at the same time, carrying an ethereal beauty and the fragrance of the sea.

As Pam describes them, the Sand Spirit Insight Cards are gifts from the sea that activate inner wisdom, creativity, healing, and transformation. That they are.

If you would like to experience these amazing Insight Cards for yourself at no expense, you can attend a free teleseminar Pam and I will be offering together on Sept. 29th.
