FREE WORKSHOP - Strengthen Your Intuition for Success
2017-09-03 16:00 - 18:00 | Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan (1st Floor), 20 East Mada Street, Mylapore, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, 600004, India
Ever get the feeling that you made a mistake because you didn’t listen to the quiet voice in your mind? What is that quiet voice? Where does it come from? Why was it right — or wrong?
Awakening and strengthening our intuition is like exercising a muscle. First we learn to tune in and recognise that our inner guidance is trying to tell us something. After conscious practice, we can learn to trust this inner voice and be guided throughout life — through the good times as well as the difficult.
In order to have success on any level in life, whether it is material, mental, emotional or spiritual, our success is greatly enhanced if we learn to listen to our intuition.
This free workshop will help you to:

Gain new skills in accessing your intuition
Learn the difference between true intuition and egoic desire
Practice useful and straightforward exercises to strengthen our intuition
Tune into our true goals in life
