One of my longtime readers wrote: “… how do you start the inspiration to flow each day. Do you read something and then write from the message read or you just write. You obviously have your own style and I find them as beautiful and inspiring as the first time I read the first message I read many years ago. I have been connecting in lately and using the tool of writing as a vehicle and I do feel at times there is a struggle and other times it just flows. What's your secret? “
(See below how I began inner listening in 1976-77.)
I have been doing this so long, there is total ease in flow.
Even in the beginning of my inner listening, I simply sat in the silence for 5 minutes/day.
Inner vision and words came to mind.
I wrote them down, because they seemed important.
Perhaps different than most, I rarely have thoughts floating around in my head.
I am empty, open and willing.
I judge nothing and am not trying.
I am at ease and peaceful.
Sometimes I laugh or delight in what comes out.
I do not see it as separate from me, but rather a piece of my unique calling, what I am here to express. There may be a forethought of a certain person or dilemma that I see in our world.
I simply am open and willing to answer the call.
Hope this helps.
When leading a group in inner listening, I often have people write a the top of their page a scripture or verse from a song to tune in to the Highest Good (or God Self).
Ask for connection with the Highest and that it be used for All Good and only Good.
Make sure you simply sit and breathe....open and willing.
We all have an inner voice.
We have simply ignored it or blocked it out with outer noise.
We may call it our Higher Self or Intuition.
We may believe we are channeling some entity or person.
And it is true we can tune in to a person and make a connection with their energies.
To hear more, we need to be willing to honor what we hear.
The less receptive you are to receiving and using inner guidance, the less you receive.
The more you judge (ego) the less you can hear inspiration.
An inner listening practice requires a daily spiritual appointment, same place and same time.
Finally the personality and ego will surrender and allow your inner connection and reception.
We all have within us the connection with our Divine Higher Self.
We all have the ability to tune out the world and listen within.
We all have to develop inner listening, because we have become so used to obeying the outer guidance.
We all can make it a practice to love our true Self enough to honor the Voice of Love within.
This is where to begin.
Remember to practice everyday to the words of Love you hear and feel and know.
Loving us all as we learn to let go and listen only and always to Love.

Origin of Inner Listening
In 1976 it was suggested I sit and do nothing for just five minutes daily by a spiritual mentor/teacher. I chose 5AM in the morning and immediately saw/felt and heard a vision of a Home of Infinite Love available to all people. Over the years, I have co-created many such Centers and Homes with the guidance of Spirit within. The next morning I brought a pad of paper and a pen to sit, and as I was simply breathing, I knew words were coming into my mind and I wrote them down. When I later read them, I saw they had great spiritual meaning. As an innocent, trusting and ‘True Believer’, I then quieted myself every morning and began to follow what I heard within. My life became fun, safe, easy and miraculous in so many ways. I learned, forgave and grew spiritually daily from every relationships. This is was the origin of what I call “inner listening” and have taught to hundreds of willing learners over the last 30 years.
The Origin of emailed Loving Reminders
In the winter of 1998, having just moved back to the Bay Area in California, I asked Spirit within what was my purpose and calling. I was invited to sit at the computer and write down my daily inner listening and send it to those who requested it of me. Since Dec, 1998 I have sat at my keyboard, everyday to write exactly what Spirit within guides. I do not edit, correct spelling and embellish what I hear. I simply send what is given to me to share with the now thousands around the world.
This is my inner listening given to all who choose to receive them. Often it gives people what they need, practical spiritual and inspiring reminders, so they need not spend money on hours of therapy or endless seeking for spiritual answers. They seem to awaken and remind individuals who are willing and ready to change their lives for the Good of All. I also have put many of the reminders into three little books, Loving Reminders, Peaceful Reminders and Relationship Reminders. There are two other books waiting to be published, Healing and Healthy Reminders. It is my joy to contribute to the healing and awakening of my spiritual family, all humanity.
May be all be benefited and blessed by every good and kind intention of everyone everywhere.
Blessed be. Betty Lue “True B’Lue”
Remember: The blessings already are and we are now awakening to enjoy them.
