A Powerful Technique to Make Decisions Easy
We are being flooded with marketing messages from all angles and as entrepreneurs we can easily get into information overload and overwhelm when it comes to how to promote our business. There are so many great tools and strategies out there, but just because others have had great results with that, how can we know that this approach will be a fit and work for us?
I recently found an approach that’s unique, powerful and a little strange…
The truth will always make you feel lighter.
What does that have to do with business and choosing the right opportunity, product, marketing approach etc?
If you ask yourself a question and notice your body’s energetic response to that question it can help you more in making decisions than any other single tool or approach that I know of.
I know it can seem strange at first, but check out my video and keep reading.

If this basic truth sounds either a little far fetched or even like total bullshit consider:
People have been using rods and forked branches to dowse for the best places to dig a well for a long time. This approach has been successful for hundreds of years, even though most people don’t understand why it works.
Many holistic practitioners use muscle testing to test which foods and supplements are going to make a person’s body stronger (the difference in strength will actually make the patient’s outstretched arm easy or difficult to push down).
Probably even more strange than all of this is the work of David Hawkins
The reason for all of this is that the body can always sense truth and will respond with a feeling of stronger and lighter energy. This is why a food that is right for someone and will in truth, make them feel lighter will make their arm more difficult to push down (in the case of a muscle test).
So, how valuable would it be to always know which way to go every time you have a decision to make?
I have had profound results with this approach and it’s very simple, just ask questions about both approaches and see which makes you feel lighter.
One thing to note is that in general, if it feels light it’s right and if it feels heavy it is a lie or there is some untruth involved.
An example would be if a friend told you about some book that changed their life and said that you absolutely have to read it and this statement makes you feel heavy it probably means that although this book was great for your friend, but it’s not true for you.
Also, it’s best to use this tool often to get a sense of the difference in feeling. I tend to feel the lighter energy in my heart and upper body and heaviness in my legs and stomach. If you use this tool often, you will find out exactly how it shows up for you.
To get the feel of it, ask yourself questions where you know if it’s true or not and feel your energetic response. You can also say “yes, yes, yes, yes” and “no, no, no, no” and feel the response in your energy.
It’s better to start with smaller decisions, like what food will make you feel the best, vs. some major decision where you might have a point of view where “The answer better be a yes!” This can create a feeling of heaviness on it’s own.
Another cool application of this tool is to ask “What contribution will this (marketing approach, business decision, opportunity, tool, etc.) be to my life in the next 2 weeks? (then feel the energetic response with each question) In the next month? In the next year? In the next 2 years?
If the energy with each question gets lighter and stronger, then that is the energy that this decision will contribute to your life. If it gets heavier over time, then start asking questions about another approach.
I would love to hear any comments or questions about this approach, especially if you try it first and let me know what your experience is.
P.S. If you got something out of this post, I would be grateful if you could share the love through social media!
To your infallible guidance,
Paul Reimers
P.S.S. Does This feel light to you?

Hey Paul
I am a little skeptical however I am wiling to give it a try.

Hi Paul,
Great post! Glad someone is sharing this information out with the rest of the world!
I have been using Light and Heavy for quite some time and:
A: all my choices get easier and faster the more I use it.
B: weird, crazy, and magical things continue to show up in my life.
“If the logical mind had all the answers, wouldn’t we have it all figured out by now?” – Most people would never consider to trust their intuition because we’re so hard-wired to use our minds. Sometimes, you just gotta go with your gut
I love your statement about truth making you feel lighter! I’ve learned the hard way to always trust my “gut” because in the past when I ignored that little tingle I was always sorry. Just got a call about a “sounds too good to be true” job – I didn’t apply for it, they came to me. Despite all the compliments and impressive stuff they laid out, I back peddled big time because that tingle was going off like crazy. No clue why, but I’m going to find out
You never learn if you try. However, if you decided to try something you have no idea about, ignorance is not an excuse. I go with what I know and if I do not know, I find out and make a timely decision. I am normally a person that loves a good challenge, but I am also very in tune with knowing with is a lemon and what is not.
Thanks for nice method of using the energetic response of our own bodies. This could make the decision really easier, and in the most cases, these inner intuitions are the best ways if we can’t decide.
So true Paul. The body never lies.
Hi Paul,
Its an interesting post and I really like the title of this post and this is the reason I visit it.You give very good tips to make decision easy and no doubt truth will make you feel lighter.
Hi Paul,
Nice post.Sometimes you feel truth is very difficult and not good enough but it always make you feel lighter.The points you have shared to make decisions easy are simple and can easily be followed.
This is a great post, Paul. I read Hawkins book(s) a couple of years ago. I read through the first and the other two in the trilogy were a bit difficult for me to really enjoy, but I did go through them.
The idea of neuro-muscular response I have seen in a couple of different forms. I have seen it used in suggestion therapy during the course of a hypnosis session and with dowsers and people who use a pendulum. But I think in general the idea is the same, that a physical object amplifies your mind’s energy to the point where it is observable in the physical world.
I think may be part of the idea with muscle testing in this form is learning how to limit the choices to only two. It is easier to get tighter answers that way, in my experience.
I find this idea positively fascinating and I am very glad you wrote this piece. Thank you.
Paul,
You right with going with our feelings in making decisions. This is something which can bee dangerous. This is based on lack of knowledge in our industry. You can be made to feel good about a project that is crap. It happens every five minutes.
Yet, I do love trusting your gut feeling in little situations. It always comes to say it was right. I have kicked myself many times with little things and said I will listen next time.
All the facts you give to prove it may work. Well, it does based on more things you left out. Such as due diligence then go with your feelings. Like I said you can be mislead so easy and it keeps happening to people. This is lots based on fear and greed. Now both are emotions and that is the area your talking about. So be warned and careful.
Paul, your good and one of our visionaries. We need more people bold as you. Thanks for opening up an area so few are willing to be transparent about.
Hi Paul,
Many thanks for your tips. I really like when people recommend books. take care Rosemary
A good point to see, Paul. It is always best to have seen what the body really wants.
Being an acupuncturist I doo believe in this technique. Unfortunately, I haven’t used to too much with my business. I am going to try it out.
This is a very informative post and great video! Though I’m a little bit skeptical about it. But hey, there’s no harm in trying right? Great post!
It’s better to start with smaller decisions, like what food will make you feel the best, vs. some major decision where you might have a point of view where “The answer better be a yes!”This can create a feeling of heaviness on it’s own.
Hey Paul,
Nice post.I like the theory of truth being light and lie being heavy.Well I haven’t really brought into practical implementation maybe It was there all along but I didn’t notice it.Sure I will give it a try.
This might be a new way to explain gut feeling. I always think we should listen to our body. Famous comic creator Scott Adams says a joke can’t be funny if you don’t feel it in your body. That’s just one example.
Can’t help thinking of When Harry Met Sally at 1:10.
This is a great way to make decisions the easy way. What it takes, I guess, is confidence that we can trust ourselves. With the belief that we can know things that we don’t really know for facts, this technique and some of the related ones can help alleviate the amount of stress in our lives. And that’s always a good thing.
Paul, I hoped you would respond to get interaction going on this site. I have listen to your video again and must say that before I had sleep and agreed with that energy exercise done at the beginning.
Now, not able to sleep for several days. My levels did not change no matter how many times I said yes or said no. I believe that it all depends on your body being relaxed and you having proper rest. That is a part that was left out of the exercise.
Still excellent supportive information. I love you get all of us to jump into action. I just love it. Please, get around and respond to us leaving comments.
That is just part of keeping your site updated and communicating with those who are supporting your site by visiting and making attempts to interact with you.
