Connect to Inner Guides with Heather Dressel

“Take what resonates, add your own magic and swipe left on the rest.” - Heather Dressel

Winter calls us inward, but the world can be noisy. What if you could get quiet enough to hear your inner guides? I’m so excited to have Heather Dressel — I call her the intuition whisperer — back on the show.

We tend to love spring and summer, the energy of creation and productivity. Winter can look so still and lifeless, but so much is percolating under the snow — and within. Tending to our winter energy can lead to greater growth.

That said, there is a lot to distract us from that this time of year. Add to that the programming deeply ingrained in most of us to keep pushing and striving all the time. Learning to get quiet and go inward can be challenging — even if it is appealing to you.

We talk about:

How going inward can feel amazing for introverts and the need to balance that with emerging
Being gentle with yourself as you learn to get quiet — it’s okay if it’s uncomfortable
Forgetting about all or nothing and remembering our ability to begin again and again
Getting curious to shift practices that aren’t working in a particular season
Tuning into your inner guiding voice, not your inner mean girl squad and learning to trust
Tools — like music and oracle decks — to help you tap in

DOABLE CHANGES

At the end of every episode, we share three doable changes, so you can take what you’ve heard and put it into action. Change comes from action.

Doable changes are things that you can add into your life, one at a time to make micro shifts and really create a ripple effect that will create a big change over time. Choose one that really piques your interest and roll with it.

Here are three Doable Changes from this conversation:

INNER INQUIRY. Close your eyes and ask a simple question to your heart’s beat: How is my heart today? What do I need today? You don’t have to be sitting in meditation to do this. You can do it throughout your day, so it doesn’t become another thing on your to do list.
SIT FOR 3 MINUTES. Set a timer for three minutes, close your eyes and sit quietly. It’s okay if it feel uncomfortable or if you find yourself checking your timer or shifting your body. Try to sit through that. This practice changes as you get used to it. Be kind to yourself as you start.
MUSIC MEDITATION. Ask for a potent message. Hit shuffle play on playlist. Listen. See what happens. You might move. You might hear words in the lyrics you need. You might cry. Let yourself be in the music for the duration of the song.
