EP 228: Getting Out of Your Head with Michelle
This episode is about getting out of your head and in touch with spirit. Today\u2019s caller, Michelle, is intelligent and has a lot of awareness but her awareness and her thinking are blocking her from a deeper connection to spirit and to the essence of who she truly is.

We can\u2019t answer spiritual questions with the mind. That is just the nature of spiritual questions. They can\u2019t be answered through the intellect. I have found that sometimes the smarter you are, or the more you are in your head, the harder it is to meditate, to find a connection to spirit, and to drop into your heart. It doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s not possible. It just means when we have a strong mind it likes to hold on to thinking and control with a tighter grip.
We think and think and think about how to figure something out but how do we figure out a truth? You can figure out a puzzle, you can figure out a math problem or how to build something but you can\u2019t figure out enoughness. There is no mathematical equation to figure out love. You just feel it. There is no structured formula to tell you that you feel love for somebody. It\u2019s a feeling and so is enoughness and oneness. When we have a strong thinking mind it\u2019s hard to access true unconditional love.
It isn\u2019t until we have an experience of God that we really know we are whole and complete and knowing, no matter what.
