Five Tips on How to Receive Inspiration

by Pete Bissonette

Conversation about the Law of Attraction will never end, because everyone can use it powerfully to their benefit. Look at the Law of Attraction as beginning with activation. To activate the Law of Attraction, you go inward to receive inspiration. Going inward gives you clarity about where you are going and how to get there. You "tune in" to a source of guidance that goes by many names - God, spirit, higher power, inner guide, universe, intuition, inspiration. It's not the "name" that matters; it’s the ability to access the guidance available to you at any time.

Here are five tips on how to receive inspiration:

1) Develop what Jack Canfield calls daily disciplines in our Effortless Success course - Get into the habit of engaging in short, daily sessions devoted to your life purpose and goals. You might spend three minutes reviewing your goals in the morning or 10 to 15 minutes completing one page of a novel you always dreamed of writing. These daily disciplines you choose to complete in the course of your day can bring huge results over time and can become as effortless as brushing your teeth.

2) Travel to higher levels - Set aside time for meditation daily or on a regular basis to access your inner wisdom. Tuning into a higher level of consciousness will guide you toward achieving and fulfilling your highest purpose. I meditate for a full hour most days, but on the days I can’t, I do at least do five minutes.

3) Benefit from processional effects - Follow your intuitive impulses and benefit from what Buckminster Fuller called processional effects. By following your internal guidance and taking committed action that aligns with your highest good and the good of others, you experience results above and beyond your original intent or desire. Remember that the last six letters in the word “attraction” are “action.”  The more you take your insights out into the world and incorporate them into your life, the more inspirational insights and “aha” moments you will generate.  That saying “the Universe rewards action” happens in many wonderful and synchronous ways!

4) Pay attention to what you are feeling - Your internal guidance system provides feedback to let you know whether or not you are on course to fulfilling your purpose. Feeling a deep sense of joy or contentment, for instance, tells you your actions are aligned with what you are here to do, experience, or express in the world. Feelings of discomfort or physical pain, on the other hand, can be sending a message that your life is off course.

5) Keep the essence of your life purpose - As you live your purpose you may sense its form changing over time. Its core, however, is not likely to change but rather to unfold as you gain a deeper awareness of your purpose over time. The essence of your purpose remains while the qualities you bring forward into the world expand.
