You can read all the books, follow all the steps, write affirmations to the moon and back, but unless you begin to feel this invisible, yet palpable buzz, this infinite force that flows through you and connects you to all that is, you will spend your life searching. -- Pam Grout

Is is time to move ahead with your new project? But... You're caught on pause, unsure if the ducks you've lined up just so are enough. When you still yourself you feel pulled by your desire. Stuck on pause you feel pushed.

There is an interplay that takes place with your inner awareness, your actions and the Universal energetic life force. When you are contemplating change of any kind, this interaction creates a flow that moves you forward or pulls you back.

Inner guidance is real. Using inner guidance you are moved through life with purpose and direction. Inner guidance invites you into an intimate dialogue with life. It may show up as a glimmer, an idea or a picture. You actively receive the invitation by your willingness to explore it. Then, as you pay attention to what emerges, you begin to give it form. Your next action determines the potential of this dialogue.

You can choose to ignore the inner call, discounting its value. If you choose the path of not-trust, you will always be looking outside of you for the "right" answer, lacking confidence in your steps.

Choosing to pay attention, explore and take action allows you to search deep within yourself to research how this idea applies to your life. This is deliberate action taken to uncover and explore. In taking action, you are no longer a "victim of life's circumstance," or subject to the "whims of fate."

Build A Lasting Relationship

Through inner research, you build a lasting relationship between your vision and the energy available to bring it into manifestation. You cement a bond with the idea, that you can explore further in the future. You've now given this idea energy and a life force towards manifestation.

There are questions to consider and steps to take. As the picture or idea unfolds, you will have additional questions that will give substance and detail along with action to be taken.

Be patient. It takes practice to pay attention and take action in this way. It requires willingness to take direction from your inner voice. As you work with life this way, you develop an intimate relationship with your inner voice. With trust, your voice grows stronger. You learn to count on it to guide your actions, taking steps with confidence.

Let your feeling body guide you. You connect with the feeling body when you pay attention to your moment to moment experience. It's your bodily sensations and awareness of energy. As you establish this dynamic of inner directed exploration, you will build a new way of living. Your creativity and individuality blend with your inner voice.

Undermining yourself stops the natural flow of your creativity. Are you willing to take a risk to listen and follow your inner voice?

I'd love to hear what you discover and how you create!

HuffPost's GPS for the Soul app is based on two truths about human beings. First: We all have a centered place of wisdom, harmony and balance within us. Second: We're all going to veer away from that place, again and again and again. What we need is a great course-correcting mechanism -- a GPS for the Soul -- to help us find our way back to that centered place, from which everything is possible.

Because no one knows better than you what helps you de-stress and tap into that place of peace inside yourself, it's important for you to create your very own GPS guide -- a personalized collection of whatever helps you course-correct. Email us at GPS@huffingtonpost.com and we'll set you up with your very own HuffPost blogger account to share your guide on the site. If you're already a blogger, we encourage you to upload your personal guide today. We can't wait to see what you have to share.
