Higher Guidance Journaling Level I Introduction 2 Introduction Welcome to the Higher Guidance Journaling Level I e-book. This is an excellent place to start exploring the Creative Mystic in you. What do I mean by that? The word “mystic” may conjure up a picture of an eccentric, gray-haired hermit, who lives on a mountain top, watching the clouds and deeply contemplating the meaning of life. However, most of us have no such luxury and may not even consider such an existence attractive. The times we live in call for a new kind of a mystic; a Creative Mystic. A Creative Mystic has a foot in both worlds: the physical world of laundry and picking up the kids from soccer plus the spiritual world of synchronicity and magical creation. A Creative Mystic finds Spirit not by retreating from life but by diving more deeply into it. We all have an innate longing to know ourselves. We find ourselves asking the question, “What is my purpose?” or “What is the meaning of this?” This is the awakening of the Creative Mystic that lives inside of us. These big questions initiate the quest of the mystic and we find ourselves on a path of exploration and discovery. Many spiritual leaders have told us to seek within for the answers. Higher Guidance Journaling provides an easy and practical tool for self- exploration and inner wisdom. You DO have the answers. Higher Guidance Journaling shows you how to get them. Enjoy the journey! To visit the Creative Mystic www.CreativeMystic.com website and signup for news and information.

This is your Higher Guidance. When we open communication with our Higher Guidance we are able to get direct answers to our most pressing questions. What is our Higher Guidance? It’s the divine thread connecting us all the way back to Source where all things are known. Higher Guidance is the term I use when referring to our intuition – our inner wisdom. Others use similar terms such as Higher Self, guides, angels, and God. No matter how you attempt to describe the Divine, the wonderful fact remains that we are part of, and have access to, a much broader consciousness and energy; it’s where we came from and where we will ultimately return to. Most of us have heard that we only use a small fraction of our mental capacities. And we have also heard that we have been given the “keys” to access and yield tremendous power. Very good news indeed. Now, if we could just remember where we put those darn keys. This book will assist you in remembering. Even if you are familiar and had experience with your Higher Guidance and intuition, you may not feel it is reliable. Do you trust the internal voice you are hearing? After all, we have thoughts and ideas running through our head all the time. How, then, do we distinguish between the incessant chatter and the true, clear messages of wisdom? Through a process called Higher Guidance Journaling you will be put directly in touch with the part of you that has the answers to any life question you could ever think up to ask. You will be shown how you can trust this inner wisdom more than you can even trust what seems logical at first glance. This is where you get the grand “Ah ha’s” and realizations, and come to the knowing of your experience. Once you feel confident about having an open communication channel with your Higher Guidance you will be able to align your life to flow effortlessly toward your higher purpose. Guide for the Journey Know that your Higher Guidance wants to be in communication with you and is, in fact, always in communication with you. With your invitation, Higher Guidance Journaling Level I Your Higher Guidance 6 your Higher Guidance is ready to take you on an amazing journey of discovery. We will be discussing a unique form of journaling that will get you to the truth of who you are faster than you ever thought possible. Resurrection For centuries, organized religions have used fear to suppress our knowledge that we are intuitive and spirituality connected beings. We were told that our very salvation depended upon giving our power over to the church and its representatives since we were inherently sinful and flawed. Higher Guidance Journaling will help you reclaim and resurrect a part of yourself that (up until now) has been lost. Having direct access to God and our Higher Guidance was considered sacrilegious, heretical and in many cases, punishable by death. Hundreds of thousands of men and women were burned at the stake for listening to their intuition and “knowing things” that couldn’t be explained with traditional reasoning. But like a phoenix rising from the ashes, you will resurrect and claim your wings - the wings you were born with because your soul knows that it can fly. Once you have reclaimed your wings you will be amazed and in awe as magic and miracles are yours to create. And whether you’re shopping for groceries or watching the brilliance of a sunrise, you will have a greater sense of purpose, delight, clarity, joy, wonder, and peace. In short, you’ll have access to the “Wow” factor in life again. Our Spiritual Responsibility The discovery of our I AM Presence is the one of the most profound experiences we can ever have – and, it’s our
