“Everyone seeks divine guidance, even when they do not know it. We are all searching for holy reinforcement. 

It is in our nature to seek resolution. When we pause to wonder, What is happening here? or How do I resolve this chaos? we are seeking counsel from our soul. We are seeking advice beyond the limitations of our confused minds. 

We are in search of quietude, a repose from the madness created by the reactive decisions we make out of fear. 

Clarity arises in quietude, which is more than a retreat into a private room. Quietude emerges from within. Like a tranquilizing breeze, it anesthetizes the confusing voices shouting in your mind. 

Quietude penetrates into your nervous system, calming the panic you feel. Your situation reshapes itself and the message is clear: You can handle this. All will be well.

Grace

The grace of Counsel is unmistakable. It is visceral. Divine Counsel is not advice. You are not being given an opinion. 

Divine Counsel comes in many forms, be it what to say to someone else or personal Counsel—sensing a knowingness deep in your solar plexus that all will be well. 

Knowingness, an odd word for everyday use, is a mystical tool—a means through which the Divine speaks to us. 

We experience an immediate shift in consciousness. One minute we do not know, and suddenly there is a sense of absolute confidence. It is not a rational or logical experience. 

Knowingness is not backed up by facts or data. It is an experience validated by the immediate empowerment you sense that eradicates all insecurities.”
