Your Body, the Living Oracle

Your body is a phenomenal piece of work. Not only does it carry you through your days in this world, it has functions that you rarely think about or perhaps don't even know about.

Your Body, the Living Pendulum

For example, did you know that you can use your body as a pendulum? Not only is it easy and simple to do, it's quite accurate. Here's how you do it:

1. Put your feet together. This is to give you a less stable base. You want your body to be able to easily and freely move back and forth.
2. Ask your question or state a choice you're considering.
3. Allow your body to sway forward or backward. Forward is a "yes" and backward is obviously a "no".

It's pretty handy to have such a tool with you at all times. Here's some examples:

When you're considering a supplement or vitamin to take for that nasty cold, simply hold it with both hands and use the process above. If your body wants it, it'll give you a "yes".
When faced with a choice, state aloud or think of one of the choices and wait for your body to indicate if it's a "yes" or not. Then repeat the process with the other choice(s).
If you're unsure whether a specific food is spoiled and may make you ill if you eat it, hold it in your hands or simply focus on it. Your body will gladly tell you if it's safe to eat or not.

Your Body, the Life Guidance System

You have a built-in guidance system for your life within your body. It's called "Emotions".

Abraham, as channeled by Esther Hicks, states that we have only two emotions. One that feels good and one that feels bad. Depending on their severity, we call them all kinds of different names. Still, there are only two emotions.

This makes it extremely simple to use your body as a Life Guidance System when you're faced with choices and need to make a decision. Here's how you do it:

1. Focus on one of your choices.
2. Close your eyes and for a few minutes imagine yourself actually doing one of the choices.
3. Notice any emotion(s) you feel. Additionally, you may feel a physical sensation, such as a tightness in your chest or stomach, or warmth and relaxation.
4. Does the emotion or physical sensation feel good to you or bad? Either one is your answer.

Know this: the mind lies, but the body always tells the truth.

The next time you're faced with having to make a choice or a decision, consult with your body. It will always give you wise guidance.
