To help you apply this to your own life, Rebecca has created four journaling questions for you on this topic. 1) Have I ever experienced a “soul yearning?” What did it feel like? 2) When I receive inner-guidance, how does it get through? A soft voice, the flash of an image, a joyful impulse, a gut “knowing?” 3) What can I do to help myself tune into inner-guidance more often? 4) How good am I at following inner-guidance, even when it’s not what I planned?
