I Think In The Western World We Have Gotten Overly Identified With Doing, And We've Kind Of Forgotten About The Art Of Being. And We Don't See Value In It; We Think That If You're Not Doing Something All Of The Time, Being Very Active And Producing Something, Then You're Sort Of Wasting Your Time.

In The Western World There Isn't Much Value Given To The Necessity For Just Being Quiet. And Just Resting, And Just Being, Without A Focus Or A Goal.

We Shouldn't Ignore Any Guidance That Comes From The Mind - We Should Listen To Our Minds And Balance Mental Messages With Intuitive Messages. We Need Both To Navigate Our Way Through Life.

Many Times People Can Access That Being Stage More Fully And More Easily If At First You Are Actually Doing Something. If You Run, Or Dance, Or Do Something Kind Of Vigorous, And Let The Energy Release, Then Sometimes It's Easier To Sit Or Lie Down And Then Feel At Ease And Rest And Be Quiet And Move Inside.

The More We Learn To Operate In The World Based On Trust In Our Intuition, The Stronger Our Channel Will Be And The More Money We Will Have.
