I Listen to My Inner Voice

The Taoists teach that you are made up from Yin spirit energy and Yang human energy, and that the Yang energy includes the energy of your mind, body and emotions.
It is the Yin spirit that is your inner voice and the Yang that is your ego. You should always listen to that inner voice as it knows things that your ego only thinks it does.
So how do you recognize it?? Your ego speaks at you and your inner voice speaks within you. Sounds good except the ego is very clever and will convince you that you are hearing from within.
Practicing self awareness and meditation are ways to quell the ego. Be aware when asking others for advice as well. While well meaning they are going to give you their perspective from their experience which is their truth. Since our experiences and our path is different for everyone the advice you receive may not be the best for you so it is essential that you avoid pressure and wait for your inner voice to guide you. Be weary as well, people do love and care so they wish to make you feel better and unwittingly will give you advice to stroke your ego. The ego is very clever and loves attention, never forget this.
This gift is available to all, you can choose to ignore it or you can nurture it by listening and heeding it. It is a very small voice while the ego is generally booming, pay attention also to your gut it will work with your inner voice.
You may mistake your ego and your inner voice but, don't despair, hard times are spiritual initiations, and mistakes are lessons that teach us to grow.
Namaste
