Hello and welcome back to practicing human, the podcast where every day we're getting a little better at life.

I'm your host, Corey Miscara, and in today's episode, we are going to talk about following the energy

and how to use it as a sacred compass. More to come on that in a moment, but first, let's settle in together

with the sound of the bells.

So, So a big thing I have been tracking over the last five or so years and even more so in a refined way in the last couple of years is how to know where to put my attention, what things to focus on,

what to build within my business, and how to make decisions within relationship and in life.

As I'm sure you've experienced, there's a lot of different options in any given moment and a lot of internal noise, we could call it, giving us conflicting ideas about what to pursue

and what to do. And the not knowing what to pursue amidst that noise can sometimes create a

paralysis of sorts. We don't do anything. Or we override an inner knowing and do something

based on other people's ideas or what statistically seems like the right choice or what our

ego mind is convincing us to do because there's something seductive or compelling about it

even though it might not feel like the right path fully.

And if we're coming to this discernment from a place of, let's say, disembodiment,

which doesn't have to be pathologized, many of us are disembodied and we go through different stages of life

where we might be more or less disembodied and we go through different stages of life where we might be more or less

disembodied, which really just means an inability to stay at the pace of our body and listen

with attunement to the different signals and communication that it's giving us.

You can imagine how that could be difficult, right?

If there's a lot of pain in the body, if we've learned to mistrust the body,

if maybe we came from a family system or a culture that emphasized intellect and cognition

as the peak way to make decisions or even the only way to make decisions,

then we end up just living in our minds.
