Bring life into balance
so your handmade business can thrive
It's dangerous* to go alone! Take this...
*Ok... So "dangerous"
might be an exaggeration...
But there's no denying you'll go further, quicker, with the right help.
But how do I find the right help??
Browsing the internet and searching for your guide to a better life can be dizzying. There's no shortage of well-experienced teachers, healers, or coaches out there.
All of them seem to be pretty confident in their methods, but there's not one soul out there with the time or energy to give every single suggestion a try...
So here's your first intuition-building exercise!
01
Take a deep breath...
Think of all the options you've been weighing... What stands out?
This is your starting list.
Trust that your intuition already knows what you need, so don't worry about "forgetting" something.
02
Imagine randomly crossing options off, one by one...
You might find you're able to release some with ease.
Others may trigger some tension in your body.
Imagine the remaining options are in a little pile.
03
Pick one up with your left hand, another with your right.
Bring your left hand to your chest, notice how you feel before you lower it. Now do the same with your right.
Did you find you have stronger feelings for one or the other?
04
Try not to think about this too hard. We're focused on sensations, not logic.
Put down the option you don't feel strongly about, and pick up a different option with your newly freed hand.
Repeat this process till you've found your top contender.
Hey! Listen!
You could sit and weigh the pros and cons, create spreadsheets of data to consider, and intellectualize this decision to death. But that process will take time too... Time you could be spending just doing the damn thing!
So consider what's on the line with this decision. If it's not going to cost you anything more than time (which you'd gladly spend building pros vs cons lists), give this exercise a try and trust that your intuition knows what's best. Even if this choice isn't the one you'll follow through to the end, you'll likely learn a thing or 2 that will guide you to your next step.
If you find yourself struggling with this exercise, try building your intuition connection by using this on the most mundane decisions. What to wear, eat, or drink. Make it a habit, and you'll be a confident decision-making machine in no time!

Hellooo! 👋🏻
My name is Melena
I'm the creator of The Locus Lotus. My mission with The Locus Lotus is to create a strong community that can overcome any challenge, plateau, or slump with greater ease. I believe each and every one of us can tap into the power of intuition to live in flow with this unpredictable world.
So, no. You don't need more discipline, focus, or willpower.
When you learn to listen and understand what your intuition has been trying to tell you, a new world of possibilities will be unlocked.
My Values
Tolerance is a
Social Contract
Empathy and tolerance will always comes first, no matter our differences. However, mutual tolerance and respect is required in this social contract.

My aim is that every action I take is in full alignment with my values, I follow through on every promise, and can make this community proud.
