It is my honor to share with you 22 tips and exercises that will take you that much

closer to listening to your own Voice Within.



1. Relax

WE are often over stimulated by the world that surrounds us and begin to lose
sight of the simple things that bring us back to focus. Something as simple as
relaxing in the middle of a hectic day can get you back in tune with yourself, thus
allowing you to open yourself up to what your soul is yearning to tell you.

Exercise:

Where ever you are, tense up all the muscles in your body for 15-20 seconds. Every
muscle from your head to your little toe should feel tight and tense. Then, relax,
feel a warm, soothing wave washing over your body and loosening up every single
muscle that you tensed up. Repeat this exercise three times.



2.Breathe

Are you aware of your breathing? Do you know that breathing is one of the oldest
forms to calm the mind and brain noise in addition to bringing more oxygen to
the brain and the cells in the body. Breathing is a privilege and not a birth right.
Indulge in it. Deep breathe as often as you can. It is a fantastic way to awaken
every molecule of your being to a new heightened state of awareness and bring
them back to work eﬃciently. EVERY MOLECULE. Take advantage of this
wonderful gift and use it to help your relationship with your inner self.

Exercise:

Sit comfortably and for at least three minutes pay close attention to your breath.
Take a deep breath in and another one out counting to 20 each time you inhale the
pure air and exhale the charged air. Focus on your breath and the counting.
Time yourself. Begin with 3 minutes and each day increase by 30 seconds to 1
minute.



3.Sacred Space

I have found that it is essential when we are on the path of self-creation that we
have our own sacred space. Whether it is outside watching a beautiful sunset, the
waves crashing ashore, inside the coziness of your kitchen, your home oﬃce or
bedroom. Perhaps, your sacred space is inside yourself when you close your eyes
and use your imagination to take you there. Our sacred space is safe, inspiring
and it allows us to be ourselves 100% authentically and genuinely.

Exercise:

Find your own personal sacred space. Keep in mind that it is a place where you
are 100% YOU. In this space your thoughts and ideas run wild and free. And it’s
100% okay for them to do so, because amidst their freedom are subtle whispers and
answers to the questions that you ask yourself everyday. Perhaps in this space,
these questions will become even clearer and it will be easier to recognize the
answers.



4. Live In The Moment
Unfortunately most of us are often living in shame (stuck in the past) or in fear
(worrying about the future). It is a habit that has been building up from the
moment we begin to understand what the concept of time means. It is paramount
to remember to bring our focus to the present moment. For nothing else is real.
Even our “memories” of the past are distorted with our own perception of what
happened instead of what did really happen. As time moves on, our stories change
and we begin to embellish our memories, worst of all we sometimes live stuck in this
make-believe memories. The same goes for the future. We
have the power to change everything, all the time,
instead we worry about external factors and how they
will aﬀect us in every way. Learning to evade the
shame/guilt and fear and be present in the moment is a
powerful tool to connect with the wisdom of your soul.
It is wise to embrace and submerge in your every action,
pay attention to what you do and love what you do
above all. Find inspiration in the simplest of acts and
your focus will automatically be brought to the present
moment.

Exercise:
Once a week, or more often if you can, devote some time for you to do what you
absolutely LOVE, but ﬁnd every excuse in the book not to, either because of lack of
time, guilt, laziness or lack of inspiration. Take the leap and allow yourself to be in
a state of pure inspiration while doing something that completely resonates with
your inner self. It does not matter what it is, just devote this time to yourself and
you will be surprised that you won’t even feel time pass you by. That is living in
the moment.



5.Pay Attention To The Signs

Our god-selves are constantly trying to speak to us. Since most of us are too busy to
pay attention or to give it any time at all, the messages they are trying to relay
manifest in tangible forms. Sometimes we read something on a billboard, a book,
or on a bus bench that makes us go..”hmm, that is interesting.” Other times we hear
advice from family, friends, strangers, that resonate deeply with what we are going
through and may even be the answer we are
looking for, but we are too proud to admit that
they are right and we choose to go in a
different direction. And, sometimes, the
Universe intervenes in a more “in your face”
type of way. Pay attention. The Universe and
the divine matrix are perfect manifestations to
bring us back to a path of love. Believe
everything you see as a miracle unfolding
right before your eyes. It is there for a reason.

Exercise:
Look for the little things everywhere. The small whispers, the perfect words that
make your heart smile. The hidden flower in a field of weeds, a yellow butterfly in
a rainy day. Whatever grabs your attention for that split second.. Stop. Remember
what you were thinking about right at that minute. Try to relate what brought
you back to awareness to your thoughts and feelings. Believe the signs.



6.Write Long Hand

Sometimes we are minding our own business, taking care of life and we are visited
by an oﬀ-the-wall thought (those are my favorite). It is wise to carry a small
journal and a pen or pencil with you at all times. Inspiration comes when we are
mostly connected with “all”. It is hard (if you don’t have practice) to feel the exact
moment that you become connected. So, some inspiring thoughts may come as
surprises. When we are not accustomed to feeling the connection, the moment we
realize we are connected, we tend to want to hold on to the connection, and it
dissipates. So be ready.. You never know when It’ll hit ya!

Exercise:

Write down that thought that just popped in uninvitedly but with enough humph
to make you stop what you were doing. Also, if you are in the car listening to
music and a certain song inspires you enough that you get a tear of gratitude,
research the lyrics to that song later and write them down. The same with a quote
or a paragraph in a book. It may even be a movie that brings inspirational tears
to your eyes. Write it all down. Those words that speak to your heart may be
telling you the story of your life, it is all a matter of documenting them and
making sense of it as you go on living, often referring to them as points of
inspiration.



7.Judgment Free Zone

To judge ourselves is to live in
constant denial of who we are. There
are over 4,600 human traits and we
possess them all. We may show them
in different forms at different forms
to different people. Nevertheless, we
are everything we love and hate in
others. Loving ourselves is one of the
first steps to becoming more aware.
We become patient and accept ourselves for what and who we are. No stories, no
labels, no past, no future... We just become. With that awareness and knowledge,
listening is so effortless. It may be a bit overwhelming because there are so many
messages that we tend to ignore, but it will be almost effortless.

Exercise:

Pick three traits you don’t like about yourself. List them in a piece of paper. Then,
make two columns, the first one titled “100 benefits to others”, the second column
titled “100 benefits to me”. For each trait fill out both columns and if you need to
go further than 100, do it. Do the exercise until you see that you being exactly as
you are is not only a benefit to others but to yourself as well.



8.Discover YOU

When we live congruently to what we truly love and not to please others or try to
live a facade of who we should be, we are connected to our inner-selves in deep ways.
We are more creative, we have more vitality and we stop worrying about what was
and what will be. Discovering you means having your actions match what’s in
your heart. When we pay close attention to young children, notice how in tune they
are with themselves. Unless they are desperately craving the attention of an
authority ﬁgure, children live in their space, they live by their rules and follow
what’s in their heart. How do you do that?

Exercise:
Pay attention to what it is you mostly think about, spend your energy on, talk
about, spend your money on and what you surround yourself with. Make a list of
at least three things in each section. That will show you who you truly are. If that
matches what you do, GREAT! Otherwise, who you say you are is not truly
congruent to who your heart is.. **Helpful to be completely honest!!!!**



9. Dare Yourself

Is there one thing that you cannot imagine yourself doing? What is it? Speaking in
public? Skydiving? Going topless on the beach? Professing your love to the one you
can’t live without? Shave off the stoic
persona? Write a book? Ask for a raise?
Scuba dive? Whatever it is you think you
can’t do, not only can you do it, but you
can also be the best at it. Live with
intention. There is a saying that people
spend more time planning their vacations
than they plan their lives. Is that you? If
so, time to stop take some moments to jot
down things you’d like to accomplish
(*note: not things you think people would
like you to accomplish, the key word here
is YOU). Time to spread your wings and
fly...

Exercise: In your intention list, write something you don’t think you could do, one
thing you are deathly afraid of. Start small if needed. But, do it. The confidence
you will gain from it will liberate you to begin living your truth, and lead you to
be more connected with yourself. Remember the key of every exercise in the book is
to slowly show you that you possess all you need inside. The answers to every
question you have are inside yourself waiting to be let out.



10.Renew The Way You See Life
“When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” - Dr. Wayne Dyer

It is easy to lose ourselves in the hustle and
bustle of life. It doesn’t mean we have to
remain lost in it. There is so much more to life.
So much more color than we choose to see.
However you choose to see life, remember: it is a
choice. Life happens for you – ALWAYS. The
Universe is always conspiring in our favor
regardless of our lop sided perceptions of some
events. It is a beautiful thing when we can
recognize the blessing behind any perceived
tragedy. There is a higher power at play that
makes sure everything is balanced and in perfect harmony. Step out of your daily
routine and see all the colors around you, take it all in. Be grateful.

Exercise:
Step out of your self-imposed box. Begin to look at life from a diﬀerent perspective.
Put yourself in everyone’s shoes you meet. Feel where they come from when they
talk. Appreciate each moment as if they were your last. Look at the moon. Star
gaze. Be grateful for grid-lock, rush-hour traﬃc and use the time wisely to
meditate, breathe deeply. Start a conversation with a complete stranger, pay
attention to what you can learn. Dress up and show up.



11. Do What You Love

This is about doing that thing that brings the warmest of feelings to your heart.
The thing that makes time stop, space disappear and you forget the three-
dimensional world around you. How often do you experience that? If you have
experienced it at least once in your life, then kudos to you. Indescribable feeling,
isn’t it? How about you feeling
it again? Well, it’s easy. We get
so caught up on what we ought
to, should, and have to do that
we forget to dedicate a bit of
time doing what we love to do.
Whether it is a profession or a
hobby, love must be present.
For loving what we are doing
dissolves any judgment, lop-
sided perceptions and bring us
fully to our center where we are poised and in touch with our truth.

Exercise:

Lose yourself in whatever it is you love to do. Whether it is 5 minutes or a whole
month. Do it! Play, read, work, sit, walk, run, laugh, cry, write, watch,... Surrender
to the action and forget all the rest. You will be surprised when you mix love with
the art of being.... You become it! The Voice Within is most powerful when it comes
from a place of love and authenticity.



12. Say Your Prayers

If the only prayer you say is “thank you” , that is
enough. No need for elaborate, articulate
speeches. Pray from the heart. Forget the
systematic, dogmatic way, and do it freely,
lovingly. As you pray, you evoke a dialogue
between the you (you know) and the you (you are
getting to know). Talk to yourself. Talking to
myself has been the most eﬀective form of prayer
I have ever practiced in my life. If I can’t
understand what I’m saying to myself, or if I’m
too bored with what is coming to my mind, what
makes me think the Universe would be
interested? I “pray” a.k.a. talk to myself
regularly. It is mostly questions, and rarely do they not get answered. So pray.
Talk. You are listening.

Exercise:

Ask questions. Demand of your higher-self. Learn to ask why. Find out why. Most
importantly thank yourself for all that you have learned, all that you have
experienced and all that is yet to come. By thanking yourself, you open the door to
the Universe to bring you more of what you truly want and you open the gates
for the answers within to come out and guide you on the path of your magniﬁcent
life.



13.Enjoy The Journey

The more you learn to listen, the more you will listen. The more answers you
receive, the more you will seek. It is a never ending cycle. The only thing that
changes is the quality of your questions, subsequently the incredible impact of
your answers. The questions will never
cease.

“When the why is big enough, the hows take
care of themselves.” - Dr. Demartini.

There are no wrong questions. The whole
point of listening is to know that all you
need is already inside of you.

“You have always had the power...” - The
Wizard of Oz.

Exercise:

1. List all the questions you’d like answers to, and put them somewhere that you
can get to occasionally to cross them oﬀ as soon as you receive an answer.
2. If your questions begin to get all answered, come up with some more. In fact,
don’t wait until the previous ones get answered, as soon as a question pops in
your head, write it down. Live with purpose to answering all your questions.
3. Don’t be frustrated that you will never run out of questions... That’s the journey.
