A Path to True Insight
Write from the Heart

he best definition of intuition is that which we know in our hearts to be true. When we feel good and right about a decision, we often attribute it to having followed our intuition. There is a difference, however, be-
tween what “feels good” and what we “know in our hearts.” Discerning this difference separates wishful thinking from true intuitive intelligence. Intuitive intelligence can be identi-

As these qualities also represent the spiri- tual substance of our selves, the intuitive insights we receive resonate with the truth of our being. When faced with a challenging choice, it helps to look for the presence or absence of harmony, clarity and peace before taking any ac- tion.

Now write the following: “What this situation really needs is… ”
Write the phrase several times, finish- ing the sentence with another thought each time.
Be sure not to add “from me” to the above sentence, even in your
thoughts. Let the ideas that come flow through you and onto the page, enriched by clarity, love, intelligence, and benevo- lence for you and everyone involved.
