Aligning our Creative Will with our Being's Intuitive Guidance to Create New Patterns of Thought and Action

The process of adjusting parts into proper attunement

I make a decision to align my Creative Will with my Being’s intuitive guidance.


How many decisions do you make over the course of a day?

How many actions do you take over the course of your day that are based upon decisions you made a long time ago?

When you get up and take a shower and go to work, did you decide to do this in the moment or did your crazy alarm trigger your mind to engage it, thus setting a whole bunch of ingrained and automatic actions into motion?

Think about it.

Your alarm wakes you up and you go through the motions, still half asleep, of getting yourself ready to head out. If you have children, you do the same with them. You know exactly when you need to get up in order to complete your morning ritual and get to work on time.

What if you disrupted this ingrained pattern by setting your alarm an hour earlier to do some sort of activity that was totally outside of your established pattern?

Say, for example, that you decided to work out, do yoga or practice piano during that extra hour. How would your mind respond to such a decision? Would it be resistant? Would it fight you every step of the way? Would you hear your mind come up with a barrage of all sorts of angry reasons why this is a bad idea?

This is a very common reaction to any disruption in our established routine.

Are you someone who immediately reaches for your phone to check your Facebook account upon waking up? What if you made a decision to put this ritual off until after you meditated for 20 minutes? In the beginning, you would probably experience your minds automatic pull towards getting online. Yes, you could chalk it up to an internet addiction, but how is this possible? In reality your mind has simply established ingrained automatic thought pathways that compel you to do the same thing over and over.

It matters not if it is Facebook, a morning cigarette or compulsively imagining about the “what if’s” that surely await you in the day to come.

These are all habitual patterns of thought and subsequent action that we have established through repetition. They are often as automatic as tying our shoe laces.

With the work we do in Conscious Creators, we must first become aware of our patterns then decide how they add or detract to the quality of our daily lives. This sort of decision is often overlooked. These decisions lay the ground work for further decisions that involve creating new habits already listed above. Once we decide we would like to do something different. We must then decide to align our Creative Will with our Being’s intuitive guidance. We simply acknowledge that our specific pattern is self-defeating and request intuitive guidance in cultivating a new pattern that is life affirming to replace it. At this point, we simply carry on about our day as usual.

In our experience, within a short period of time, we will become inspired to do something. Maybe its 20 push ups or making our bed first thing in the morning. Maybe its meditation for 5 minutes. Some sort of intuitive suggestion will find its way to us. When we recognize it, all we need to do is simply begin acting upon it.

We have made a beginning.

This builds organically over time. Before we know it, we have created a whole hour of new, life affirming activity to start our day which has slowly become more automatic than our past ingrained pattern.

It begins to override it.

As this occurs, other intuitive suggestions will come to us.

Please note, that these suggestions often find us through our routine dealings with others with whom we are consciously connected. This includes our roommates, partners, coworkers, friends etc. They will say something which strongly resonates with us. Perhaps one of them begins talking about a yoga class they take or a workout routine they have found helpful. In that moment, something moves us deep inside. This is our intuition letting us know that within this interaction, a clue or piece of the puzzle has been presented to us. This requires our awareness to recognize and our Creative Will to begin to practice.
