Alignment and Congruence

When we talk about “alignment” it can be easy to assume it’s an abstract concept or that there’s no way to judge our alignment other than our feelings or senses.

This is not remotely true. Another way to explore our alignment is to replace the word with “congruence.”

Are our actions and beliefs congruent with what we say we want? Are we congruent within our own ethics and codes of conduct? If the answer is no, then we are not in alignment.

When we are congruent, we are in alignment.

6 Steps to Getting What You Want

There are 6 steps to getting what you want.

1. Know what you don’t want.

Make a list of complaints, grievances, and annoyances. They are the starting place for everything.

2. Decide what you DO want.

Take that list, and from it discover and decide what you would like instead.

3. Get clear.

If you have limiting beliefs and/or destructive habits, clear them out.

4. Get in touch.

Feel how it would be to be/do/have what you want. Make it as real as you possibly can.

So let me start off by saying, unequivocally, that if you are having trouble hearing your guides, there is absolutely nothing wrong with you.
