The Stick Shift of Decision-Making
When I perform massage I alternate between two states of operation: my mind and soul.
The mind is in charge of clinical reasoning and rational thought. Its focus helps encourage humility and prevent self-deification.
The soul uses his intuition to feel through the second and remain aware of the subtle and often imperceivable fluctuations throughout a massage.
The instinctual nature of the spirit is harnessed to power the experience, but she should never be used in the application of massage. The reason we should refrain from allowing her influence over the session is because she will transform the intention of the session with her primal desires.
Throughout a massage I shift back and forth between my mind and soul to help ensure I reach my client’s goals.
In our daily lives things work differently. The spirit must be granted opportunities to stretch her wings and fly into the sky. If we deny her she will slowly die inside until our existence feels sour and without life.
Our intuition plays a significant role in our daily interactions, especially with new people. Unfortunately if we operate solely with our intuition will make numerous mistakes. He only knows what he knows and if we fail to humble him, his knowledge becomes the only ideas that exist.
I’m not saying we should ignore our intuition, quite the contrary. We should listen to him, then question his ideas and then decide if his analysis is right.
Questioning our intuition is an exercise of our mind and spirit. The mind integrates logic and scientific analysis, while the spirit uses her instincts to determine if these thoughts are in line with nature, our wants, and connection with the divine.
Most decisions we make should involve shifting through the gears of our incorporeal union. Many of us pick a favorite incorporeal aspect and roll the dice. This often leads to a terrible life and hardships galore.
We all interact with our incorporeal union in different ways. Every marriage and government have their own handshakes and arrangements. Learn what is best for you by being true to your inside parts.
