(Sounds to me like you are both centering and grounding.) As for meditation, that is an important part of my own routine. It helps keep me sane--not to mention providing clarity, concentration, and equanimity. And thanks for the great lead in to my next blog post with your comment on clearing the junk and making space. I'm going to have a bit more to say on that, so I hope you will return to take a look. Melanie Science Geek Girl,

Like you, though, if the rational/logical and the intuitive are at odds, I give a lot of weight to the intuitive. I've tested it out enough times to trust it. Referring to fleeting thoughts as those that arrive iout of nothing, in the gap between scattered thoughts is a perfect way to say it. You're dead on and it is a useful way to help folks understand what we are talking about. Thanks for your great comments! Melanie Kathy,

I think it's a way of clearing the junk out of our brain and giving space for the internal navigation system you're talking about. I think my life would be much clearer if I allowed more time for this in general!

For me, it's all about following my intuition, which is often at odds with my rational mind. Whenever I've listened to my rational side over my intuitive, things have gone wrong. I agree with you about the fleeting thoughts, which seem to arise from almost nothing, like a gap in between our scattered thoughts. Melanie,

Considering that the chakra in that area relates to power and will, it's a good place for those messages to be received. Thanks for joining in on the discussion. I look forward to hearing more from you! Melanie Lynda,

The body is a common target for that sledgehammer. Thanks for sharing that very important example. Expansion and contraction are not only the breath of Spirit, they are often the way in which our intuitive selves speak to us. Your "yes" and "no" are wonderful gifts to you and wonderful examples for this blog's readers. And life isurely is easier when we activate that internal navigation system, isn't it!

I don't deny the power and utility of the rational/logical thought process. But many of us are in our heads a great deal. (Yes, I'm one of them.) We risk over-thinking. The internal "yes/no" process can be a huge help. I hope you'll try it . . . and report your results, whatever they are. Melanie Andrea,
