I believe it’s incredibly valuable, I think of it as our personal truth detector for personal use. It helps us to understand what our gut and heart are truly telling us.

Most of us have lived with people who have told us what we should or should not be doing all of our lives, certainly that was the case when we were children. As adults we generally took over much of this task for ourselves, we keep telling ourselves we ’should’ be doing this, or ’should not’ be doing that. Usually we have very valid arguments to back up these ’shoulds’. The problem is that none of this takes into account what our destiny really is, what our hearts truly crave and desire.

My thought is that the arm test is a very valuable tool to help clear some of these things up, for myself and for my clients.

Clearly I don’t and will never depend on only this one tool, but I feel it’s a very valuable tool, I appreciate it more each time that I have occasion to use it.

Last year we moved countries and started a business into which we poured our savings. I’m trying to figure out whether my massive fears of failing at this are because I’m heading in the wrong direction, or whether my fears and resistance are in the way. Because you’re not saying ‘only do something if it feels good’, right???

Right now I’m numb half the day, spending my time in front of the computer, never sure if what I’m spending my time on is the right thing. But when I think about what I’d be doing if I had a million dollars in the bank right now, I’d still be in this venture and giving it a good go. So I think it’s some massive false beliefs I need to deal with.

Please post more about the diff between ’shackles on’ and good fear/stress.

I’m going to focus on the four questions big time for the next four days. If I sit around and wait until I feel good, it’ll

My problem is these days that I feel numb a good part of the time. I can’t always tell about my compass. I’ve been so stressed out that I feel like I can’t enjoy the simple things in life. I’m trying to tune out the negativity so much that I’ve tuned out everything else too. I’m trying to pay attention to what does make me feel good. Working on Saturday gave me such a thrill. I enjoyed talking with customers and it felt like the old me again. But the feeling doesn’t always last and I end up being stressed out about finances until I have a few days off to read positive books and then I’m recharged and ready to go again. So I’m not sure where my compass is leading me. Should it be so much effort to stay positive if you are following your compass?

My last post was a podcast meditation about removing negative experiences.
This is a powerful meditation and if you have not had a chance to listen to it then nwo is as good a time as any.
I have found a few sites that had some interesting articles on …

this post gave me a serious ‘aha! moment’ and provided almost immediate relief.

to consider different types of fear and that sometimes fear comes because something IS right for us and because we are doing something THAT important to us, gives me a whole different perspective.

thanks!
all the best!
