Trusting Your Gut
Cleansing Your Power Center

by Madisyn Taylor

Part of being an intuitive person is becoming in tune with and trusting your power center.


Gut feelings earn their name from the place in the body where they make themselves known. A pang in your gut when you may be doing the wrong thing, or a vibrant zing when your body approves, can guide you reliably at times when logic fails. Sometimes, when logic prevails, we ignore our gut and live to regret it, understanding later that a rational approach is only one way of determining what is going on in a situation and how we should react.

Our gut resides in the neighborhood of our solar plexus and the third chakra just above your belly button. When it is functioning well, we can trust its guidance and adjust our actions accordingly. Many of us have a tendency to hold in this area of our bodies. We may take shallow breaths that never reach this vital nexus that is the source of our empowerment. It is in this place that we find the courage to act, to reach out into the world and create change. When our power center is out of balance, we are timid and out of sync, wishing we had said something we were only able to phrase later when we were alone; wishing we had acted on an opportunity we didn't see until it was past.

In order to utilize your power center, you may want to focus your attention on it more regularly and make time to care for it. You can begin right now by taking a deep breath into your belly. On the exhale, pull your navel in toward your spine so as to empty out completely before taking another deep breath into your belly. When you empty completely, you release stagnant energy and create more space to be filled with fresh, nourishing breath. The more you practice this simple, cleansing exercise, the more clear and communicative your gut feelings will be and the more comfortable you will feel acting on them.


DailyOM Course Spotlight

Mojo Weight Loss
by Jacqui Justice

If you are overweight and feeling sluggish, somehow you have lost your mojo along the way. Reclaim your mojo and reclaim your health and vitality! Do you struggle with weight loss, finding it difficult to stay motivated and committed to your plan? Have you gained and lost the same 10 or more lbs. more times than you care to remember? Does your happiness and self-worth depend on the numbers on the scale? If so, then it is your mindset and approach that is the real issue here - not the diet or your inability to stick to it. What I'm saying is that you are going about this the wrong way, AND it's making it MUCH harder than it has to be. A more successful approach is to use what I call the "Mojo Mindset" which taps into the power of your inner mojo to help you achieve the results you are looking for. In this comprehensive 8 week course you will receive 1 weekly lesson which includes both a written and audio visualization and affirmation, a lesson that covers one or several topic! s, a daily action plan in the form of a weekly homework assignment, and an abundance of hands-on, useful information that you will use for years to come.
