Your Intuition Compass in Day-to-Day Life
When I was young we used to play the Hotter-Colder game. Someone would pick an object in their mind and you had to find it. If you were moving away from an object they would say, “colder...colder...colder....” There was always the guy who tried to be funny, “You're like dry ice, Bro.” But even if you were as cold as dry ice, the second you turned around and headed in the right direction, they said, “warmer...warmer...warmer....” Whenever you veered off course, you heard “colder....” So in a series like “warmer...warmer...colder...warmer...warmer...colder...warmer...hot...red hot!” people guided you to your destination.
Your Intuition Compass works in the same way. Once you decide what you want, every step you take will feel either better or worse from where you are. If you feel better or like you just got some relief, you are moving toward what you want. If you feel worse, you are delaying what you want.
Many people who experiment with the Law of Attraction mistakenly believe they should not feel bad, because you have to be happy and feel good to get what you want. This idea, while it may be true in some contexts, is not very helpful to people who are experiencing bad-feeling emotions. Feeling happy is beyond their emotional reach. If they try to do it, they can only succeed to the extent that they have to maintain a force of will to keep it intact. When they lose their will to maintain the facade, they recoil to their former state of misery or worse.
That does not mean that a person who feels bad can't become happy. What it means is that they have to take smaller steps. Because when you are on the badfeeling end of the emotional spectrum, what feels better does not feel good, it feels like relief.
Relief always feels better.
And just like the game where you are “dry ice,” no matter how miserable you feel, the instant you think a thought that is expansive, leading you in the direction of your intention and joy, you get the “warmer” relief feeling that verifies you are on course.
