Sometimes it's the trying that gets in the way, I think, because we have usually made up our minds about what needs to occur, when in fact, what we have in mind may not be what's needed. I'm not sure how to say this so it makes any sense, but I'll give it a shot. In my life, I've been guided or led or given whatever information or ideas or concepts that I've needed. I don't know where it comes from, but I've called it intuition, inner knowing, heart wisdom, my guides talking to me, the voice of spirit, but these are just words to describe the experiences, and not very good words, at that. None of it came through my mind, though. I practiced meditation for a while to learn how to clear my mind of chatter and to something other than my mind/brain. As WillowWolf said, meditation might help you find that one thought, or hear that one idea, once you've become still. It's my belief that we always get what we need, whether we recognize it and accept because it's different from our expectations could be a whole other thread.
