Turn Down The Static, Turn Up The Guidance
Written by Gina Charles
What’s preventing you from hearing your own Guidance?
Turning down the unnecessary, unfounded, negative static of the thinking mind, allows us to better hear and feel our own Guidance.
The first step in doing this is to notice thought. Catch thought in action, ranting on in its unexamined, relentless chatter. Now take your focus off of what the mind is saying, and put your mentally quiet focus on your body, your breathing, how you feel in your skin, or other stimuli of the present moment. Listen quietly.
Perceive without mental evaluation.
This is the place from which we can hear the whispers of inner Guidance.
Guidance, that is always pointed in the direction of our highest good.
Guidance, that is always patiently waiting for us to wake up out of the unnoticed, negative mental banter.
EMPOWERMENT: Today I will turn down the mental static, and connect with my own inner Guidance.
In what ways do you connect with your inner Guidance?

Who is a True Guru? How to choose a Spiritual Guru?
Grave danger in uprooting a Guru Do not accept a known guru as guru, and if you do, then do not turn your back on him. Use a pot if you do not like him. The pot will not have any problems. Worship it because your buddhi (intellect) will not be active there and your work will get done. Now who would be so careful that he would not allow his intellect to interfere? How can one understand all this? Questioner: At the time we make someone our guru, he appears to be very good, he

What is the importance of Living Guru?
Questioner: If we surrender to the great souls that lived thousands of years ago, can that be considered surrender? Can we make any progress through such surrender or do we need to surrender to a living great man? Dadashri: You can progress even through Paroksha (indirectly- one not currently living). However if you find such a living (Pratyaksh) person, then your liberation will be instant. The indirect approach will give you the benefit of progress but there is no liberatio
