Important Decisions? Listen to your Inner Authority!

Your Authority represents the inner “voice” in your body, that voice which each of us should listen to when making important decisions in our lives, as it honors our most authentic expression. This mechanism of our configuration helps us fulfill our purpose in this incarnation, so trusting it is key to developing our human potential.

Accessing your inner authority means reaching a place where the rational mind has no role. So, please avoid trying to rationalize it. This is about developing a relationship with yourself, where you learn to connect with and trust your body and its various ways of communicating with you.

To connect with your Authority is to connect with your body, where you will find the voice of inner wisdom that lives within you.

Your body certainly knows best and it will guide you through growth and expansion in ways that help you assimilate and continue your personal evolution. While some paths might still be challenging, they will feel more meaningful and aligned with your intended journey.

This is why connecting with and trusting your inner wisdom takes time and practice. Be patient with yourself and stay open to experimentation as you embrace this process.
