Ancient Secrets Revealed

Are You Having Conversations, or Making CONNECTIONS?

Imagine having your interactions with people create true connections! 

I was discussing ‘Perfect Pictures’ with a colleague and friend recently - our desire and efforts to be perfect in what we do and how we communicate - and she said that when she tries to be perfect, her conversations with people don’t go as well as she would like.  She thinks that when she’s in that mode people perceive her as unapproachable.  So she thought about what her inherent attributes are - that when she embodies those attributes, enhances her communication and creates actual connections with people.  Those attributes for her are: approachable, funny and authentic.  She calls it her Connection Sweet Spot.   

She said that when she’s living and communicating from her Connection Sweet Spot her relationships are much more mutually rewarding.  She is able to communicate easier - with both parties being heard and understood - and have a much more powerful and engaging connection.  

What’s Your Connection Sweet Spot? 

Don’t know your Connection Sweet Spot?  Here’s some tips for figuring it out: 

Make a list of all your most inherent attributes.  If you want additional insights you can brainstorm with family, friends or colleagues to get their perspective on your most engaging qualities. This can be interesting because our perception of ourselves is sometimes different from how others perceive us.  You may end up with some words (your qualities) you may not have thought of.   

After you’ve developed your list (which I am sure will be long), select the most applicable 3 or 4.  To do this, notice which ones came up most often in your brainstorming processes.   

Incorporating Your Intuition 

Need help narrowing your list to just 3 or 4 attributes?  Use your intuition:   

Body Wisdom (clairsentience - clear feeling) 

Use your Body Wisdom to help you narrow down your list attributes: read one of the words on your list out loud with the intention that your intuition will guide you to select those 3 or 4 that most accurately describe your most engaging qualities, then close your eyes and notice what kind of feelings you get in your body.  Does your body feel good - comfortable, happy, warm and fuzzy - or does it feel cold or uncomfortable?  Which words have ‘juice’?  Proceed by reading each word out loud, determining for each one whether it made your body feel good or not. 

Traffic Light (clairvoyance - clear seeing) 

Use the simple Traffic Light intuition tool to help narrow down you list: speak aloud one of the words you’ve selected, then close your eyes and visualize a traffic light.  Ask it to show you if the word is one of the top 3 or 4 that best describe you:  Green/Go = yes, Yellow/Caution = maybe, and Red/Stop = no. 

Other Intuitive Tools 

Speak each word on your list with the intention that you will hear a Yes or No for each word, letting you know if it best describes your engaging qualities (clairaudience - clear hearing). 

Speak each word with the intention that by being still and focused you will just ‘know’ whether the word should stay on your list (claircognizance - clear knowing). 

In case you’re curious, using the above processes (thank you Lauren & Diane), I determined my Connection Sweet Spot to be:  thought provoking, competent, empowering and authentic.  

Putting your Connection Sweet Spot into Action 

So, next time you’re getting ready to communicate with someone - and you want it to be a true connection and not just a conversation - take a deep breath, tap into your Connection Sweet Spot and enjoy connecting. 

Here’s to inspired connections! 

Happy Intuiting!

Wisdom from Other Realms
Enoch on Connections 

A note from Susan: The following is a channeled message from my guide group who call themselves Enoch - a group of non-physical beings who use me as their conduit to anchor the energies of expansion and service.  

This month I invited Enoch to share some wisdom specifically on the topic of connections. 

And Enoch says:  “The interesting thing about connections is the perception is usually about how to communicate with others and how they communicate with you, when in reality the most important piece of this puzzle - which connections can sometimes be - is to learn to communicate with you.  With yourself.  To learn to be your authentic self - to learn to express fully who you are in the world.   

This is the manner in which your connections with others becomes stronger.  This is the manner in which you draw others to you.  This is the manner in which you communicate more fully with others.   

By remembering to be who you are and not who people or your society expects you to be.  This is the beauty of this time is that you have the opportunity to be fully you.   

So remember who you are at the core.  Remember what you consider the best traits about you, and you are fully expressed for who you are.  This is when the connections with others are sweet, are enjoyable, are insightful.  This is truly the manner of connection.”
