Putting Down the Suitcases

I want to share a method with you that I can't even tell you how powerful it is. It changed my life. I call it the letting go method.

You close your eyes, you sit down, and you visualize that you're walking through a bustling airport. You have a cart full of suitcases. And every 50 feet or so, you pause. Then you consciously choose to take a suitcase off the cart. You put it down, you leave it behind, and you walk away from it.

Now, I don't recommend this in an actual airport. You'll probably get arrested. You have to mind your bags. But just doing this in your mind, you say goodbye to it, and then you just move on.

You go another 50 feet. There are all kinds of people around you. They're getting ready for their flights. And you leave another suitcase behind you, and you continue on your journey. Then another one, and another one.

With each bag you leave behind, you feel yourself becoming lighter and lighter. The suitcases can be anything you're carrying that doesn't serve you anymore. Your thoughts, your emotions, the things you're attached to. You put them down one at a time, and you walk on lighter and freer with each step.

Something to try

Close your eyes, and sit down somewhere comfortable. Picture yourself walking through a busy airport, pushing a cart full of suitcases. Every 50 feet or so, stop. Choose one suitcase, put it down, say goodbye to it, and walk on. Do it again. Then do it once more. Notice how much lighter you feel each time.

It's a way of releasing the burdens you hold, and moving forward. You can try it right now, or later when you have a quiet minute.

Some of you have already started on this path, and for some of you it's brand new. Either way is okay. Just try it and see.

A Hug That Makes You Stronger

I have some fun stuff for you. It's something you can try with a friend, and it's called the heart-side hug. You could call it a party trick for muscle testing. And it's just for fun.

When people hug each other, it seems customary to go one way. Your head goes to the left side of the other person's head. But that leaves your heart further from theirs.

The heart-side hug goes the other way. You lean your head to the right of theirs. That makes your left sides meet, and your heart is closer to their heart. Your hearts are more aligned. Some people call it a heart to heart hug.

So what you can do is ask your friend to put their arm out, so you can muscle test how strong it is. That way you know their general strength first.

Then give them a normal hug, where your head goes to the left. Your hearts aren't connected. Now test them again. You'll see that they're weak.

Now hug them again on the other side, with your head to the right, so your hearts connect. It seems a little awkward at first, because it's not the normal way. Then give them another test. And you'll find out they're testing strong. I know it seems a little strange. But you'll see that their energy field is much stronger.

So make sure that when you end, you end with the heart to heart hug. That way you leave them in a stronger state as they go off for their day.

Now the next fun one is called the energy zipper. Do this one with a friend too, and ask their permission first. Begin by giving them an arm test, to see how strong they are the neutral way.

Then imagine they're wearing a kind of jumpsuit, with a big zipper down the front. You imagine that you unzip it from the top down, as low as you're comfortable doing. Then stop, and muscle test them again. They'll be weak. Then you zip it back up to the top again, and muscle test them again. And they'll be strong.

It's interesting. These little experiments show how our energy meets other people's energy when we connect with them.

Something to try

The next time you hug someone you love, try it to the right, so your hearts line up. And if they're up for it, try the muscle test before and after, and see what you notice.

It's a simple way to feel how your energy and someone else's meet. You can try it today, or the next time you're with a friend.

Some of you have already started on this path, and for some of you it's brand new. Either way is okay. Just try it and see.

Three Places You Can Live

There's a little story I like to tell. You can actually live in three different places. And you can decide which one you want to stay in. But most of the time you don't realize that you can decide where you want to stay.

The first place you can stay is like an apartment building in the big city. The balcony has an awesome view of the skyline. There are always shops and cafes open all hours. It's very stimulating, with plenty to do at any hour. This is the place where you're living when you're in your head. And most of us stay there all the time.

The second place you can stay is your country home. It's large and peaceful. You can hear the birds singing, and the wind blowing through the trees. You take a relaxing breath of fresh air, and you feel happy and calm. It feels different from the city. But you rarely come to visit your country home. This is the place where you're living when you're in your heart.

The third place you can stay is a stunning cliffside mansion overlooking the ocean. There's not much to do in this place. But the view takes your breath away, and you're mesmerized by the waves. There's only the ocean, the waves, and you just being there, with nothing to do. You visit this place very occasionally, if at all. This is the place you're living when you're in your gut.

So what's the best place for you to live? It seems like you have three choices. But how often do you choose to enjoy your country home, or your cliffside mansion? Too busy in the city to take a break? It's always up to you.

There's a protocol I use to ask how balanced someone is in their head, heart and gut ratio. Most people are between 60 and 80% in their heads. That leaves maybe 15 or 20% for their heart, and maybe 5 or 10% for their gut.

Then I ask what the ideal ratio would be for them. And it's a funny thing. I don't know how many people I've helped with energy sessions. Everyone's different on everything else. But every time I ask for the optimal balance of their awareness in their head, their heart and their gut, it's always the same answer. It's 20, 40, 40. That's 20% in our heads, 40% in our heart, and 40% in our gut.

Now, if you've been living 5 or 10% in your gut, that's a real eye opener. It's a whole different reality. The idea that the answers will just come to you, and you don't have to figure it out, is such an alien thought to most people. Most of us are in the habit of doing something to solve problems. We want to use our mind. Give me a pencil and paper, I'll get to the bottom of this, right?

But if you go with that ratio, 20, 40, 40, you've got some packing to do. You're moving your energy down to your heart center more, and down to your gut center more. You're shifting your whole landscape.

If I could, I'd take a bag, throw a bunch of stuff in it, and drag it down to here, and say, okay, start setting up. You live here now. And people would be like, "I care about everyone. I'm coming from really wanting to make a difference in the world." Or you might move them into their gut, and they're like, "I don't have any more questions. I just feel so peaceful. I feel safe. I feel like whatever happens is perfect."

So these are the different places you can move your awareness into. And it will actually make profound changes in the rest of you. When you start to make that shift, you're more trusting that it's going to turn out. You're not so busy. You can actually be at ease. You can feel safe.

Something to try

Do some deep breathing, and focus on your heart. Breathe in and out of your heart, as if your breath is coming in through your heart center and blowing out through your heart center. Do four or five breaths like that. Then come back.

Now try the same thing, breathing slowly in and out through your gut center, your solar plexus. Imagine you're breathing in through there, and it blows out from there. Do a few breaths, and just observe what your energy shifts into. Then whenever you're ready, come back.

You just had a little visit to your country home and your cliffside mansion. How does that feel? You can try it right now, or later when you have a quiet minute.

Some of you have already started on this path, and for some of you it's brand new. Either way is okay. Just try it and see.

Let Your Body Lean Toward Yes

The Sway Test is the first and easiest test you can do on yourself. It's a whole body method. You don't need anything for it, just you. And it's a great place to begin if you're just starting out.

Stand up straight, and find a balanced, centered position. Stand relaxed. It's a good idea to take a few breaths at first. Then let yourself come to a nice centered place, a neutral position.

Now close your eyes, and let the energy simply flow through your body. Once you feel centered, ask your body to show you a yes. You can just say it. "Show me a yes. Show me a yes." And see what your body does. Does it lean forward? Backward? To one side or the other? Just allow it to happen.

When you ask a question you know will get a yes answer, you'll likely notice that your body leans slightly forward on its own. And when you ask a question you know has a clear no answer, you'll likely feel your body leaning back.

So let go of that first feeling, and stand up straight again. Now ask your body to show you a no. "Show me a no." Notice how your body feels. Does it tend to lean backwards for you? Or does it do something different?

Your body may also decide to sway from side to side. That's fine. You can just ask which is a yes and which is a no. Trust that the answers you get are right.

If that's not so strong for you, you could also try thinking of your favorite food. When I think of my favorite food, it's hard for me not to go towards it. It's almost like a physical, uncontrolled behavior. And if I think of a food I really don't like, it makes me go backwards.

It can take a little patience at first before you feel it. Just relax and see what happens. It's best to have very little expectation. It may take some time to react at first. So keep practicing by asking, until you get a strong answer for both yes and no.

Some people feel the response in a different part of their body. That's fine too. Just observe the feelings, and notice where in your body they're located. One time when I was teaching this, I asked my body to show me what a yes answer would feel like. And I felt a little tightening up on the left side of my forehead. It could be a tightening, or a tingling, in some part of your body.

You can really develop your own way of doing this. You can ask your body, your Higher Self, your mind, your heart, your gut, all of them together, to show you a yes and a no.

And if your answers come out different, or even opposite, that could be what's true for you. Or your polarity could be reversed. That means you're too much in your head, and not enough down in your heart or in your gut. One way to help with that is to do some focused breathing in your heart or in your gut. A lot of people focus on the heart. But the gut is really the place where I believe your intuition and your intention live.

The Sway Test is the first step toward trusting your body to tell you the truth. It's also how you start making a stronger connection with your Higher Self. All of these methods are really just practice, like starting to ride a bike with training wheels. As you connect more deeply, you get to the point where you just know what the right answer is.

Something to try

Try the Sway Test now, if you're able. Stand up for a minute, close your eyes, and ask your body to show you a yes. Then ask it to show you a no. Naturally, don't try this if you have balance issues or if you're around others. And if now isn't a good time, try it out later when you have a chance.

It's the easiest way I know to start feeling your own yes and no.

Some of you have already started on this path, and for some of you it's brand new. Either way is okay. Just try it and see.

The Truth Watch You're Already Wearing

Imagine that one night at a party, a stranger gives you a small gift. They only ask that you wait until the next morning to open it.

The next morning you wake up and remember the gift. But you can't remember who gave it to you, and that makes you even more curious. So you open the box, and inside there's a watch.

It's not a normal watch. It only has one hand. And there are no numbers on the face, just the words "True" or "False."

Something makes you put it on anyway. You look at it and ask, "Can this watch really tell me the truth?" And the hand swings over to "True."

So you say, "This is crazy. I must be dreaming." And the hand swings back to "False."

Now imagine how your life would be if you had a watch like that. How much easier would it be to know the truth about a person, or an event, or a choice you have to make? It would be like having your own kind of lie detector.

Well, you already have one. It's not a wristwatch. It's the way we're wired. Our intuition is made to tell us whether something is true or false.

We've all had those moments when an answer just pops into your head. It feels right, even if it doesn't make any logical sense. Some part of you just knows. People call it following your intuition, or trusting your gut.

But most people don't really notice it. And when the pressure's on and you really need an answer, it's not so easy to find. If you could calm your mind down, you could make that connection whenever you choose. That's what Truth Whispering is for. We use Intuitive Response, which is muscle testing, to ask our Higher Self a question and get a clear yes or no.

For me, it started with numbers. I'd be muscle testing, asking for a number on a scale of one to a hundred, and 72 would just pop into my head. So I'd ask, "Is it 72?" And the answer was yes. After a while it was words, and later on whole conversations.

But it really goes back to when I was 12. I decided to become a vegetarian. I didn't know any vegetarians. There weren't any in my world. It just felt right. I knew it was right, but I couldn't explain it in any rational way.

My parents thought it was a phase I was going through, and that I'd get over it. Everybody around me thought I was strange. But I trusted that feeling, and I've been a vegetarian ever since. I guess it was my first connection with my Higher Self.

Something to try

Think of a time when an answer just popped into your head, and it felt right. Ask yourself how it felt. Did you follow it? What happened?

Then imagine what a difference it would make in your day-to-day life if you could get that kind of answer any time you wanted.

Most of us don't notice these moments when they happen. Remembering one is a simple way to start noticing them. You can do it right now, or later when you have a quiet minute.

Some of you have already started on this path, and for some of you it's brand new. Either way is okay. Just try it and see.
