An extract from the unique and innovative ‘Navigator’ programme.

We were all born with the most brilliant guidance system ever invented – it is what we call our ‘gut-feelings’. It is capable of showing us how to get to have anything we want, keep us from harm and ensure we have a great life. The only thing is, most of us have become disconnected by being discouraged to follow this for a number of reasons. Many successful people, or those we call lucky, use it but usually they do not understand what they are working with so cannot share this with others and/or they want to keep this capability to themselves.

Our gut-feeling operates a bit like a GPS system. You set a final destination (a goal, a desire) and the system works out the best route for you to take there from where you currently are. A GPS works through triangulated satellites, sophisticated software and data on local conditions to work out what is the smartest way for you to get from where you presently are, to where you want to be. Your gut-feeling guidance system works the same way. Another analogy is the ‘hot – cold’ game played with children. Someone hides something and then indicates whether those looking for it are moving towards it or away from it by telling them if they are getting hotter or colder. Our guidance system works through how we feel. When we are moving towards what is best for us we feel good and when we are moving away we feel awful. It is a very simple system.

The sophistication of our guidance system is pretty amazing. It combines the nervous system and the energy that runs everything. 

• This energy is a pure positive creative energy that feels good when we allow it to flow. 
• It is very powerful – it has been put into simple terms by one quantum physic scientist as one cubic metre of space has the potential energy to boil all the oceans of the world.
• It is also incredibly intelligent – it has been proven that we have 100,000 chemical reactions going on per second per cell! Just try and imagine the intelligence that keeps all that balanced and in harmony.
• It is important to remember that we were all born with a clear connection to this energy. It is our birthright. We do not have to be good enough or work hard enough to deserve it.

Now, the nervous system gives us the ability to sense how much of the energy is flowing. The more that is flowing the more we are heading towards what is in our best interests or towards what it is we are wanting. In that way it is like the ‘hot-cold’ game. 

Our nervous system is made up of two basic types– the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). In simple terms the CNS is sheathed in myelin, which effectively insulates it from outside influence and stops anything escaping. It transfers electrical impulses at an amazing speed – it takes a few thousandths of a second for an impulse to travel from our brain to our toes. It is virtually instantaneous. The PNS is largely unsheathed which means it picks up on outside energy or vibrations. For example, our 5 physical senses are picking up on vibration. Our eyes pick up on light waves and our eardrums pick up sound waves. What is not well understood is this- you have more nerve endings in your solar plexus area than in your brain. And these nerve endings are largely unsheathed. It is these that allow you to pick up and sense the flow of the pure positive creative energy or the absence of it. There is only one source of energy and, as stated earlier, when we allow this energy to flow it feels good and when we disallow it to flow, it feels awful.

In this way you can sense whether you moving towards or away from what is in your best interest or what it is you are wanting.

Now, there is something very important to understand about this system. We are all unique and therefore we all line up differently with this flow of energy. In other words, what might feel good to me will not necessarily feel good to you. However, the vast majority of people do not understand this and work on the basis of ‘this feels good to me, so it must also feel good to you’. They are then confused when others do not agree with them. The key point is that it is a uniquely individual alignment process, and we must listen to our own feelings to gauge what is best for us.

It is possible to use your gut-feelings to find new ideas, solutions and opportunities. The reason for this is that the energy stream we are all connected to by birth is immensely intelligent. It contains unlimited intelligence, ideas, solutions, opportunities etc. We have the gift of being able to tap into this. Some individuals have demonstrated an amazing skill to do this – Einstein and Edison come to mind and there are many others. Sports stars, for example., talk about ‘being in the zone’ – same thing. We all have this ability but for most of us we have been discouraged from using it. We are encouraged to follow what others tell us rather than what feels best to us.

There is a deliberate ‘veil’ drawn across our ability to tap into all this amazing intelligence. It keeps us separated from our real abilities and potential as individuals. It is a game to see if we can remember and reconnect with our true selves. This is an inside job as we are being asked to reconnect with our inner-being. This is an individual connection to the energy stream and hence all the potential it holds. You will know when you are re-establishing this connection – it feels good despite what others might say or think.

We have the ability to reactivate our ability to tap into this guidance system and intelligence. There are various processes and practices that will gradually increase our ability to access more and more energy, intelligence, ideas, solutions and opportunities. It needs to be practiced to allow this ability to be developed.

A key factor in all of this is that we are in control of what is happening. It might not appear to be the case but we get to decide what happens in our lives. Most of us are not consciously aware of the choices we are making and the consequences. However, if this is the case then we can deliberately choose again and create different results. We just need to understand how it all works and use it deliberately to our advantage and the advantage of everyone else. If we do not include others in our intentions and what we ask for, ultimately we lose out. This energy we are connected to is pure and positive. If you do not honour this fact, the misuse of the energy will come back to you as negative experiences and why would you want that?

Perhaps of greater importance is this – as each of us is unique and the energy stream we are tapping into is infinitely intelligent; it can figure out how everyone can get what they want. Therefore, it is an individual journey, and we can all get what we want. So, we can stop working on the basis that everything is finite or limited and we need to take from one another. By making this an internal focus we can all get what we need and what is best for us.

The following diagram is an attempt to depict how this all works. If you can grasp the basic ideas, then perhaps you can go on to create whatever it is you are wanting.

We live in a physical world with constructs of time and gravity etc. We can focus the energy stream through our mind via thought and create physical results. We need the construct of time to manage this. Can you imagine instant manifestation? Think a thought and get the result the next instant. Our lives would be unmanageable. So we have time that allows us to fine tune things. 

The starting point in all this is we must decide what it is we want. There is this amazing process called ‘contrast’ that gives us the opportunity to do this. We are continuously observing the world. These days it is being beamed into us at an ever-increasing rate with satellite communications, the internet etc. From observing what we do not like we can work out what we do like. We just then need the confidence to focus on this and know it can happen. This is a male or left-brain energy – asking for what we want and going after it. We must ensure we include what is best for us as well as others.

In the instant we decide what is we want, the Universe picks up it and lines up people, events, circumstances etc to allow this to occur. It is the Universal Law of Attraction – energy draws more like energy to itself.

Then we only need to use our guidance system to sniff out the best pathway to the end goal. This is a right brain or feminine energy and one that many ‘blokes’ have a bit of a problem with. They were actively discouraged from using it when younger and simply lost the ability. It just needs reactivating and practice in using. Following what feels best is the key.

Of significance, young children and adolescence today do not have the level of disconnection we older adults have. They do not have ‘the veil’ firmly in place like we do. They know they have this inner connection and amazing guidance, therefore they are determined to use it and choose options that feel best for them. They can tell immediately what choice is best for them. Their guidance system is firmly in place and active. They do not wish to follow what those older them are telling them is best for them when it does not feel best to them. This is proving very challenging for many adults. It is also a challenge for our education specialists to understand and adjust to these significant changes.

What amazes me is that in teaching this to individuals from shop floor to senior management, everybody understands it to some degree. They might have their own way of describing it, but this understanding is there in all of us. Some are aware of it, some use it and some have ignored and buried it. Nevertheless, all of us have the potential to activate it to a greater degree and use it more consciously in our daily lives.

Just stop for a moment and consider where you might apply this in your life or how your staff might benefit from understanding and using it. How would you choose to use it? What would you use it for and why? It has been described by those who been taught to use it as one idea that can be applied in all areas of their life. Try it. Play with it and you might just be amazed at what you can achieve.

You are more powerful and have more abilities than you have been told about.
