Whispers

Let’s look at it another way: You’re alone in your home, and you’re extra busy. You may be in the middle of cleaning. You suddenly hear a voice outside of your head. No, you aren’t hallucinating.

That voice comes from your higher self. It could be a feeling that something needs doing or changing. These are little whispers from your consciousness bound in the spiritual realm. Some people call them angels. Others say it’s God.

We have many names for intuition and our gut feelings. When that voice begins to speak, you feel better and at ease. Your ego will try to shut it off with resistance and negativity.

But, the little whispers that keep pushing you forward are your guides voicing concern or giving you a simple answer to a question you’ve been mulling over in your mind.
