“In order to trust your vibes, you have to first be able to sense them – and to do this, you must quiet your mind.
You see, your sixth sense is very subtle and noninvasive, and even though it’s always present, it’s very discreet and dignified and will never interrupt or interfere with your internal chatter.
It’s not that your Higher Self is reticent or shy; it’s just that until you mentally shut up, you can’t hear what it has to say.
Just as if you try to listen to two people talk at the same time, you can’t hear your vibes if your ego is clamoring over your spirit for all the attention.
So, it’s not only spiritually smart to quiet down, it makes practical sense as well. The key is not to be actively creative as you look for silence in the world. Your valuable, passive quiet time allows you to hear your Higher Self loud enough to follow it.”
Trust Your Vibe, Sonia Choquette, p. 41.
