It's a drizzly Monday morning. The alarm blasts out a rockin tune that pierces your eardrums. With eyes half closed, still fairly comatose, your hand flings instictually toward the sound. Where's that bloody snooze button? Eventually you manage to drag yourself out of bed but all the while you are wishing that you could be doing anything other than getting ready for your dreaded nine to five. You think to yourself for the millionth time, "Oh God it's time for a change in careers."

However most of us rarely use this source for all it's worth. Either we do not know that it's there and believe that we are a victim of life. Or if we are aware, we often forget to utilize it when we need it the most.

The truth is that it takes self discipline, commitment and persistence in order to tap into this knowledge that we seek. We need to take the time to exercise our own psychic ability, our own inner awareness. But twenty minutes a day spent silencing the chatter of our minds is a lot to ask. Or is it?
