debbie, that's interesting. i've never taken any classes in meditation, i think i just naturally do it, and have done so for most of my life.

your comment about the head nod made me think about how i get answers when i need advice. somewhere along the way i came up with this technique, which works very well for me. i mentally ask the question, take a deep breath, then think the word "yes" while taking in a deep breath, then "no" while taking in a deep breath. i get a feeling similar to exhilaration during the breath when the "yes" or "no" answer is correct. (if yes, i feel it during that breath, if no, during that one.)

it hadn't occurred to me until i read your post that this was one of the ways i communicate with my higher self. for quite some time now, i have let the "powers that be" lead me to where i'm supposed to be at the time i'm supposed to go. by feeling more than anything, i have been led halfway across the country, met people in need of my particular kind of help, and just recently bought a house, because i felt i was being led to do it. and my husband and i chose the house by our feeling when we walked in the front door. we had looked at a couple of dozen before that, but the "feeling" of it being the right place didn't come to either of us until we found this one.

and the timing was planned for me as well. my daughter had been dating a guy for almost a year and he was studying to be a realtor like his mother. the place i'm moving out from was bought about 3 years ago by a realty company who has suddenly decided to do quarterly inspections and change the furnace filters for all the tenants, along with weird new rules like no patio furniture on your patio. sorry, not my thing - don't enter my home without my permission. (i've been here for over 11 years and always liked this place until then.) so i contacted the boyfriend's mother a couple of months ago and here i am, making my next move.

i do feel like it's my higher self that's putting me where i need to be.

peace,
