I like the philosophy, feel the fear and do it anyway. Also, I’ve learned it’s better to be in that red light feeling and doing the correct thing then regretting it later and your life constantly being a red light feeling.

Bravo for another deep teaching. When I'm undecided, sometimes, I roll dice. Then I evaluate how okay I am with the dice's choice... And make my decision accordingly.
I have learned action is better than in action. You can always go back and rekindle that friendship or go back to the dealership but don’t lose momentum.
Thanks David incredibly helpful and educative. I am from a counselling psychology background and 12 steps. Authentic self I began to hear of through the counselling psychology of humanism, Carl Rogers and Rollo May...to find out real authentic true selves through the process of sharing, being real and feeling....it's a long-term process. Also describing the tension between conditions of worth & societal expectation as a tension, blockage to true self...what you call duality. In 12 step also the need for spiritual and emotional authenticity is described in recovery...along with step 11....quiet time, meditation, reflection..conscious contact with Higher Power or 'the god of your understanding'. Thanks again for all your hard work and educative videos...

Hi Robyn - we're glad you enjoyed the video :) If you can connect to and work with your Shen energy (Inner Voice) more this will serve you well! Alex + David x
What is the source of Shen? It is mysterious and something that you were born with and can't be taken away or impacted by another person. I agree. Sometimes, my intuition comes with clarity out of nowhere, solving a complex problem at work and not just a gut feeling. Isn't the inspiration coming from something greater than myself? A higher power?
Hi @tomWil245, Indeed, Shen is the divine spark within us all, present from the moment we come into being. It's a profound connection to something greater, a source of intuition and inspiration that can guide us through life's complexities. Trust in this inner wisdom, as it is a unique and untouchable part of who you are. If you're looking to explore this further, our FREE Wu Wei Wisdom community could be a space for you to discuss these moments of clarity and share in the collective understanding. Regards, David
Thank you for this. I was actually working through a related matter when this landed in my inbox. It has answered some different questions but thrown up more on this topic. Particularly in relation to the book Blink. It explains that sometimes we can just know something at gut level before we have time to think. It's almost the reverse of what you say here, HCM speaks first. I find that the more time I give to something the more confused and circular my thinking becomes. It seems like I need to act before my HCM gets a chance to become involved. It reminds me of when I was learning to touch type. When I trusted that I knew where the keys are I could get great wpm speeds I only faltered when I thought about it. What is the difference between these situations and the process you describe? How come the more time I give to something, or consider it, the more clouded, unclear my thinking becomes, the more I start to question the thoughts that come up, the more confused they are in a downward spiral? It feels like the opposite of sitting with something and connecting with my authentic self. I feel further away than ever from knowing what voice to trust, (although I've made note of CCJ and will monitor that)
Hi Rachael, thanks for your question. I have not read the book BLINK, so I'm unsure of its conclusions. Some of the key points of the video teaching relate to controlling your Human Centred Mind (HCM) and Inner Child... not allowing it to take you into the 'Maze Of Confusion' (that you label clouded, unclear and confused thinking)... and also resisting the 'Carousel of Despair' type circular agreements. The message is about becoming connected to your Shen and true Inner voice, and not being rushed or bounced into quick 'knee jerk' decisions. The authentic choice and decision should be clear and made from truth and honesty... this way you will be able to follow your authentic path and journey. Thank you for taking the time and trouble for watching and commenting on our videos we appreciate your support. David
Hi Rachael, I'm reading Thinking, Fast and Slow which dives deep into automatic and emotional thinking (System 1) - I guess "the dog" is what these two would call it, versus deliberate more effortful thinking (System 2) which I guess is that pause that helps us investigate the feelings. It's a little confusing to call all of these things "intuitions" I think because our intuitions are often flawed, primed by trauma. Instead, you can train your mind to have better, "expert intuitions" (I'm guessing many of the examples in Blink are of "expert intuition"). Kahneman says that Blink really did us a disservice by oversimplifying and giving too much of a magical quality to intuition. If your interested, Kahneman speaks about it here: ruclips.net/video/CjVQJdIrDJ0/видео.html I'd love to know what David and Alexandra think about this book.
I relate to the content in your comment. I sometimes have a knowing - a flash of knowing - and I act quickly. These actions almost always have good consequences with no room for future regret. But with extra time to think, I can get stuck in inaction. In this space is where I get restless, indecisive, fearful, miserable even. I’m learning through these videos how to identify this. I liken your learning to type by touch with riding my motorcycle. Where I look, I go. If I allow myself to gaze off to the right, my motorcycle goes right too. I must look forward to move forward.
@@tiffanybriery4127 we also haven't read TF&S - but will check that out too! :) Sometimes the semantics/labels can be confusing in trying to define the concepts. For example, we have to refer to 'intuition'/'Inner Voice' as these are the terms most commonly used in the West. What we are really trying to differentiate between is the difference between the Tao concept of 'Shen' energy (no direct translation in Western language) and that of the 'Human' energy or our Human Centred Mind/Inner Child - and how we balance and follow the authentic flow of these energies and the 'guidance' they give us to find Wu Wei. We talk about the contrasts a little more in this video: ruclips.net/video/Q8K7Ia-Oj3g/видео.html
Great video, thank you! I have one question..:) Who is YOU that takes final decisions? If inner child is not you, if mind doesnt control you either, if shen is also only offering the way yet waiting for your decision - who/what part/where is the final decision maker in us? I can feel the inner child, sometimes - intuition, and other parts of me, but I can't grasp the "actual boss-me":)
Hi Aushrine, We are pleased you enjoyed our video. The YOU is a description of your Human Centre Mind/Inner Child and your Shen in Wu Wei *balance* - this is the wholeness or Oneness of you. We have talked about this in many videos. So, The 'Boss-You' or authentic you is when you are in truth, balance and harmony. Living with integrity, following your intention and taking full emotional and self-responsibility. Connecting to your Shen and learning to quieten the loud voice of the HCM/Inner Child can help you find this authentic balance. Have you watched our 3-part series on Shen yet?

@@WuWeiWisdom thank you so much for these videos at 48 years of age 🙅I came to myself🤔 listening to your videos how to really really set me on the right track thank you 🖖for the information you provided can't wait for the next video😍
What do guys think about Buddhism & ideas such as “having a self image in general creates suffering” & that “positive thinking is just staying in the mind”? I feel so confused between hearing these teachings & then hearing these. Kind of ironic as this video has to do with intuition.

Thank you for this video, it has been very helpful. I get red light feelings due to fears I have of being humiliated and judged in certain situations. I also have fears of being too embarrassed to speak up due to be an annoyance or inconvienance to others. Im doing work on these beliefs which have developed over many years. Sometimes if a situation comes up that is similar to one previous experienced where I had red light feelings I assume its going to happen again, and the anxiety builds in the lead up. My question is - do you have any techniques on not expecting or assuming the red light feelings will come? I guess techniques on being more present and focusing on the fact that you are alright today and you don't know what tomorrow will bring.

Hi. Thanks for the video. How do I become more in tuned with my inner self and know what it really wants? At first i was overthinking which resulted to me running away from a relationship (long distance relationship) and then after a while my mind started doing the reverse.. i started to question myself why i ran away when he didnt do anything to hurt me. Im so confused. I believe our long distance relationship is something that could really trigger anxiety but how do i know for sure what to do. Im so confused.
This is a question I often address with my clients. On a positive note it is something you can do for yourself.
If you have a look at some of our other videos we demonstrate the Golden Thread Process, a self-discovery technique that allow you take self-responsibility for you Human Centred Mind and mindset.
We have a saying in Wu Wei Wisdom: 'you cannot change what you don't understand' ...So, you have to do that work to 'own' you truth and make clear your intention.
This process will enable you to be much clearer on the voice of you true Shen/spirit and your Human Centred Mind and Inner Child.

Hi @jan1cem, Thank you for your thoughtful question and for being with us for so long! It sounds like you’re experiencing some inner conflict, which is very common when we’re not fully in tune with our true selves. The confusion you’re feeling often comes from a mix of overthinking and being influenced by both your mind (which can be filled with doubts and fears) and your inner child (who might be afraid of being vulnerable or getting hurt). To become more in tune with your inner self, start by calming the overactive mind. Practices like meditation, deep breathing, and mindful journaling can help you listen to your inner voice with more clarity. When you’re centered and calm, you can better discern whether the fear and anxiety are coming from a genuine place of intuition or from the inner child’s unresolved issues and fears. Ask yourself: “Is this decision coming from a place of love and balance, or fear and insecurity?” Be gentle with yourself as you explore these feelings. It’s about understanding your true needs and intentions rather than reacting from a place of confusion or past experiences. Remember, there is no rush to make decisions. Take your time to connect deeply with yourself and understand what feels right for you, without pressure. If you'd like more support on this journey, consider joining our community: facebook.com/groups/wuweiwisdomcommunity/ Wishing you clarity and peace on your path. Kind Regards, David
I have a question ..what happened if I make inner voice for to much. ... i have inner voice anytime when I am alone. .talking to myself and this happens together with imagination ore thoughs .is this dangerous ? Ore what is this...sorry for my English .I need your help
Hi Mario, Thanks for your question, I think I understand :-) Everyone has that inner voice! So, I would be more interested in what it is saying to you. Is it critical, comparing you with others and judgemental? Or is it positive and encouraging you to move on with your life? This inner voice is what you have to listen then control. Remember you control your mind, your mind does NOT control you! Thank you for taking the time and trouble for watching and commenting on our videos we appreciate your support. David
@@WuWeiWisdom this for me is everything not only critical or motivation ... This for me happen before I meet someone ..i analyze the words of i can say to him ore and they can probability say to me .But this look like conversation ...For me this happens and in experimental ideas .If I make a project I can speak with my self for details and many times this help me ...but the think of they worries me is ..when I am in stressed I make this .i remember happy times and happy conversation and I repeat the words and add more words ...words than will make the conversation more beautiful if I can say thet when the conversation happen in .but i am low interest in activity .. is this dangerous?
Hi Mario, As I said before I do not believe that self talk is dangerous, because everyone has an element of self talk. If I understand you correctly you are saying that when you are stressed you try remember better or good times I think this is good practice and I would encourage you to concentrate on more positive thoughts and intentions. I wish you well thank you for taking the time and trouble to listen and comment on our videos. Daivd
Thank you both for this great video - so well explained and very applicable to a life choice I have to make. I currently feel waiting a while is the right thing for me to do, so thank you for validation.

It seems like I need to act before my HCM gets a chance to become involved. It reminds me of when I was learning to touch type. When I trusted that I knew where the keys are I could get great wpm speeds I only faltered when I thought about it. What is the difference between these situations and the process you describe? How come the more time I give to something, or consider it, the more clouded, unclear my thinking becomes, the more I start to question the thoughts that come up, the more confused they are in a downward spiral? It feels like the opposite of sitting with something and connecting with my authentic self. I feel further away than ever from knowing what voice to trust, (although I've made note of CCJ and will monitor that)
Hi Rachael, thanks for your question.
I have not read the book BLINK, so I'm unsure of its conclusions.
Some of the key points of the video teaching relate to controlling your Human Centred Mind (HCM) and Inner Child... not allowing it to take you into the 'Maze Of Confusion' (that you label clouded, unclear and confused thinking)... and also resisting the 'Carousel of Despair' type circular agreements.
The message is about becoming connected to your Shen and true Inner voice, and not being rushed or bounced into quick 'knee jerk' decisions.
The authentic choice and decision should be clear and made from truth and honesty... this way you will be able to follow your authentic path and journey.
Thank you for taking the time and trouble for watching and commenting on our videos we appreciate your support.

Hi Rachael, I'm reading Thinking, Fast and Slow which dives deep into automatic and emotional thinking (System 1) - I guess "the dog" is what these two would call it, versus deliberate more effortful thinking (System 2) which I guess is that pause that helps us investigate the feelings. It's a little confusing to call all of these things "intuitions" I think because our intuitions are often flawed, primed by trauma. Instead, you can train your mind to have better, "expert intuitions" (I'm guessing many of the examples in Blink are of "expert intuition"). Kahneman says that Blink really did us a disservice by oversimplifying and giving too much of a magical quality to intuition. If your interested, Kahneman speaks about it here: ruclips.net/video/CjVQJdIrDJ0/видео.html I'd love to know what David and Alexandra think about this book.
I relate to the content in your comment. I sometimes have a knowing - a flash of knowing - and I act quickly. These actions almost always have good consequences with no room for future regret. But with extra time to think, I can get stuck in inaction. In this space is where I get restless, indecisive, fearful, miserable even. I’m learning through these videos how to identify this.
I liken your learning to type by touch with riding my motorcycle. Where I look, I go. If I allow myself to gaze off to the right, my motorcycle goes right too. I must look forward to move forward.

@@tiffanybriery4127 we also haven't read TF&S - but will check that out too! :) Sometimes the semantics/labels can be confusing in trying to define the concepts. For example, we have to refer to 'intuition'/'Inner Voice' as these are the terms most commonly used in the West. What we are really trying to differentiate between is the difference between the Tao concept of 'Shen' energy (no direct translation in Western language) and that of the 'Human' energy or our Human Centred Mind/Inner Child - and how we balance and follow the authentic flow of these energies and the 'guidance' they give us to find Wu Wei. We talk about the contrasts a little more in this video: ruclips.net/video/Q8K7Ia-Oj3g/видео.html
Great video, thank you! I have one question..:) Who is YOU that takes final decisions? If inner child is not you, if mind doesnt control you either, if shen is also only offering the way yet waiting for your decision - who/what part/where is the final decision maker in us? I can feel the inner child, sometimes - intuition, and other parts of me, but I can't grasp the "actual boss-me":)
Hi Aushrine,
We are pleased you enjoyed our video.
The YOU is a description of your Human Centre Mind/Inner Child and your Shen in Wu Wei *balance* - this is the wholeness or Oneness of you.
We have talked about this in many videos.
So, The 'Boss-You' or authentic you is when you are in truth, balance and harmony. Living with integrity, following your intention and taking full emotional and self-responsibility.
Connecting to your Shen and learning to quieten the loud voice of the HCM/Inner Child can help you find this authentic balance.

What do guys think about Buddhism & ideas such as “having a self image in general creates suffering” & that “positive thinking is just staying in the mind”? I feel so confused between hearing these teachings & then hearing these. Kind of ironic as this video has to do with intuition.
I see this as criticism vs gentle support/encouragement
thank you-helps a lot

Sorry about the mistyping!! Should be this video has helped me !!! 😏
No problem! ;)
Thank you for this video, it has been very helpful.
I get red light feelings due to fears I have of being humiliated and judged in certain situations. I also have fears of being too embarrassed to speak up due to be an annoyance or inconvienance to others. Im doing work on these beliefs which have developed over many years.
Sometimes if a situation comes up that is similar to one previous experienced where I had red light feelings I assume its going to happen again, and the anxiety builds in the lead up. My question is - do you have any techniques on not expecting or assuming the red light feelings will come? I guess techniques on being more present and focusing on the fact that you are alright today and you don't know what tomorrow will bring.

Great effort
Hi. Thanks for the video. How do I become more in tuned with my inner self and know what it really wants? At first i was overthinking which resulted to me running away from a relationship (long distance relationship) and then after a while my mind started doing the reverse.. i started to question myself why i ran away when he didnt do anything to hurt me. Im so confused. I believe our long distance relationship is something that could really trigger anxiety but how do i know for sure what to do. Im so confused.
Thanks Janice,
This is a question I often address with my clients. On a positive note it is something you can do for yourself.
If you have a look at some of our other videos we demonstrate the Golden Thread Process, a self-discovery technique that allow you take self-responsibility for you Human Centred Mind and mindset.
We have a saying in Wu Wei Wisdom: 'you cannot change what you don't understand' ...So, you have to do that work to 'own' you truth and make clear your intention.
This process will enable you to be much clearer on the voice of you true Shen/spirit and your Human Centred Mind and Inner Child.

Thank you!
Hi @jan1cem,
Thank you for your thoughtful question and for being with us for so long! It sounds like you’re experiencing some inner conflict, which is very common when we’re not fully in tune with our true selves. The confusion you’re feeling often comes from a mix of overthinking and being influenced by both your mind (which can be filled with doubts and fears) and your inner child (who might be afraid of being vulnerable or getting hurt).
To become more in tune with your inner self, start by calming the overactive mind. Practices like meditation, deep breathing, and mindful journaling can help you listen to your inner voice with more clarity. When you’re centered and calm, you can better discern whether the fear and anxiety are coming from a genuine place of intuition or from the inner child’s unresolved issues and fears.
Ask yourself: “Is this decision coming from a place of love and balance, or fear and insecurity?” Be gentle with yourself as you explore these feelings. It’s about understanding your true needs and intentions rather than reacting from a place of confusion or past experiences.
Remember, there is no rush to make decisions. Take your time to connect deeply with yourself and understand what feels right for you, without pressure.

Wishing you clarity and peace on your path.
Kind Regards,

@@WuWeiWisdom thank you for your kind reply. Much love and light to you, David ❤️
Ego will say things like you don’t know the future and do you want to kill a 10 year friendship over something that may or may not happen.
Being verbally, abused by parents really messes up your confidence in you going with your intuition versus your fear
Always write down your intuitions and put it in your purse or wallet
I have a question ..what happened if I make inner voice for to much. ... i have inner voice anytime when I am alone. .talking to myself and this happens together with imagination ore thoughs .is this dangerous ? Ore what is this...sorry for my English .I need your help
Hi Mario,
Thanks for your question, I think I understand :-)
Everyone has that inner voice! So, I would be more interested in what it is saying to you.
Is it critical, comparing you with others and judgemental?
Or is it positive and encouraging you to move on with your life?
This inner voice is what you have to listen then control.
Remember you control your mind, your mind does NOT control you!
Thank you for taking the time and trouble for watching and commenting on our videos we appreciate your support.

@@WuWeiWisdom this for me is everything not only critical or motivation ... This for me happen before I meet someone ..i analyze the words of i can say to him ore and they can probability say to me .But this look like conversation ...For me this happens and in experimental ideas .If I make a project I can speak with my self for details and many times this help me ...but the think of they worries me is ..when I am in stressed I make this .i remember happy times and happy conversation and I repeat the words and add more words ...words than will make the conversation more beautiful if I can say thet when the conversation happen in .but i am low interest in activity .. is this dangerous?
Hi Mario,
As I said before I do not believe that self talk is dangerous, because everyone has an element of self talk.
If I understand you correctly you are saying that when you are stressed you try remember better or good times I think this is good practice and I would encourage you to concentrate on more positive thoughts and intentions.
I wish you well thank you for taking the time and trouble to listen and comment on our videos.
