The In-between Thoughts

We have thoughts and more thoughts, and sometimes too many thoughts!  But what about the spaces in-between our thoughts?  When we slow down (as in slow-mo) these newer, inner-voice-type thoughts begin to emerge.  Our still, quiet voice. The voice that guides us to be our best self.

Mindfully direct yourself to slow down while performing an everyday task, like putting something in the trash can.  Move one foot at a time, lift the lid of the trash can slowly, throw in whatever you're discarding. Then return slowly to the kitchen sink, or your bedroom, or your office, or wherever you first were.  If no thoughts appear between your regular thoughts, increase the time and/or task and observe again.  Has your tiny voice piped up?  Try this exercise again, each time very mindfully moving through space.  Listen for your true voice, even if it is just a whisper for now.  Chances are very good that it is the right voice for you, moving you toward your higher self.
