1 . Logic :

The First Step

Logic is our trusty companion in many areas of life . It ’ s what we rely on when we weigh pros and cons , analyze outcomes , and make decisions based on knowledge . As healers , logic serves us well in understanding the mechanics of our modalities and the structured steps of our training . However , logic has its limits . It ’ s a tool that can only take us so far , often leaving us at a crossroads where multiple options seem equally viable .

2 . Intuition :

Trusting the Inner Voice

When logic reaches its limits , we turn to intuition — an inner voice that guides us in a more fluid , spontaneous way . Intuition is that feeling in your gut , the sense of knowing without knowing why . It ’ s the subtle nudge that says , “ This is the right choice ,” even when logic doesn ’ t fully agree . For many of us , intuition is a trusted friend , a guide that leads us to the right tools or techniques when logic falls short .

3 . Higher Self :

The Power of Knowing

But there ’ s a third , deeper way to make decisions : connecting with the wisdom of the Higher Self . Unlike logic , which is based on trust , and intuition , which requires judgment , the Higher Self operates from a place of pure knowing . It ’ s like the difference between trusting that your friend will meet you for lunch and knowing that the sun will rise tomorrow . The Higher Self doesn ’ t guess or assume — it knows .
By establishing a playful , daily connection with your Higher Self for 45 days , you cultivate this knowing . It ’ s a practice that moves beyond trust and intuition , leading to a clear and direct understanding of your next best steps in any situation .
