I Trust

By Doreen Virtue

I have a lot of psychic friends, some famous and some obscure. These friendships have allowed me to investigate the common traits among highly psychic people. Above everything else, those who are highly psychic trust in their inner guidance and wisdom. They don’t defer to external opinions, but instead listen to their own sense of truth.

I believe that we’re all sensitive to the energies around us, and lightworkers (including the new Indigo and Crystal Children) are especially sensitive. Our bodies are exquisite divination tools which sense subtle energies and vibrational changes well before we’re conscious of them. Our bodies are like tuning forks that vibrate according to the energies around us.

Yet, so much of my time as a psychic development teacher is spent helping my students trust their inner messages. They balk or worry whether they’re just imagining the message. They’re concerned about making a wrong move based upon a faulty hunch. I counsel them to affirm repeatedly, “I trust, I trust, I trust” as a way of building faith in their inner guidance.

It doesn’t matter whether your guidance comes in the form of feelings, signs, ideas, visions, dreams, or an inner dialogue. What matters is honoring what feels true to you. Does the idea of making a life change feel exciting to you? Then that’s your truth! Does the thought of taking up a new hobby invigorate your soul? Then that’s your truth! Does thinking about your dreams manifesting into reality make your heart sing with joy? Then that’s your truth!.

How many times have we distrusted our gut feelings, only to regret it later? For instance, have you ever met someone and denied your inner warning signals that told you to stay away from the person? And then later thought to yourself, “I knew that this wasn’t a good relationship for me!” Or have you ever received a wonderful idea for a new business, product, or book, then talked yourself out of the idea? And then a couple of years later, you find that someone else has successfully taken that idea to fruition?

We’ve all done this process which I call, “logical override,” where we talk ourselves out of following our inner guidance. These are opportunities to learn and grow. Promise yourself that you’ll listen to and follow your guidance from now on.

How do you know if it’s true or false guidance? True guidance always asks you to improve something like your outlook or fitness level. True guidance often asks you to use your natural talents and interests in a way that will help others or the world. True guidance is repetitive, positive, and motivational. It pushes you past your comfort zone, but always in a loving and motivational way.

Your inner guidance is answered prayer. It’s your mentor, business partner, and life coach. If you distrust or ignore your inner wisdom, you’re delaying the manifestation of answered prayer. Sure, you’ll need to take a few risks while you follow this guidance. But rest assured that your angels are with you every step of the way. And they’re happy to help you if you’ll ask (and then be willing to receive the help as they bring it to you).

The new Indigo children provide wonderful examples of self-trust. Indigos honor their inner feelings in relationships and situations. They respect people who deserve their respect. They’re fascinated by fascinating topics. In other words, Indigos don’t feign respect or interest. They’re genuine and natural. (Of course, that’s why they’re often mislabeled ADHD).

You’ll make a huge contribution toward world peace by learning to trust your inner truth-detector. The sooner we honor our inner truth, the sooner that lies and deception will be a thing of the past. We’re all involved in ushering in the new energy, based on integrity, compassion, and manifestation. Trusting your gut is a way to bring personal energy into integrity.

Now, a new study finds that trust can also affect your health. Researchers from Harvard studied over 12,000 people and found that those who agreed with the statement, “People are generally dishonest and selfish and they want to take advantage of others” was a better predictor of early death for men than smoking!.

Learning to trust our angels and the Divine light that’s within every human helps us all to live happier and healthier lives.
