Chapter 1: The Importance of Inquiry

At this time of year, many of us take the opportunity to set new goals and aspirations. While crafting intentions is a valuable practice, have you considered that asking profound questions might infuse more significance into this endeavor?

Before diving into lists of desires or future plans that often feel repetitive, it may be beneficial to reflect on a singular question: What am I permitting — or denying — entry into my life?

I encountered this thought a few years back, and it seems to resonate more now than ever. It feels as though the Universe is guiding us to keep this inquiry at the forefront of our minds. Engaging in self-reflection invites authenticity and fosters a deeper internal connection.

Delving into profound questions on both mental and emotional planes can profoundly influence our lives. Embracing our inner wisdom and welcoming answers without strain requires a practice of patience.

This daily reflection can pave the way for transformation and help us uncover our true essence. Such inquiries can be applied to various aspects of our lives, including relationships, emotional states, and belief systems. The key is to contemplate and resonate with these questions on a heartfelt level.

What emotions arise when I permit — or restrict — love from entering my life?

Meaningful questions yield profound answers.

Consider slightly altering the query: “What does it feel like to be…”, and finish it with terms like peaceful, prosperous, or your highest potential; allow yourself to feel it deeply!

What are you permitting into your life this year or the next?

May your heart remain light and guide you forward, Pati
