Another way to describe one's inner guide, would be to say inner companion. There is always the choice of whether one opens to this relationship, this guidance, and to what degree.
It's a win-win sort of thing agreed, in other words, it just comes unexpected and happens to me all the time but some people fail to listen and follow it they end up making mistakes
What you've said here, this is what I am referring to. It is absolutely accurate that when one chooses not to listen to it, they end up making mistakes. From my own experience, I have found this to be true every time. Sometimes people will even say..."if only I'd listened to myself, I would not have done X".
how do you differentiate between advice or a word given by your inner guild, your heart, or your mind?
I literally "just know". It's immediate. It's not a thinking process. I know and act all in one. How to differentiate...I can give some suggestions.
It's almost like having a trusted friend tap you on the shoulder to tell you something about whatever it is that is going on in that moment (any moment). Often it can be described as a feeling in your gut, a gut feeling about whatever. You will literally feel it in that area of your body. Also, you'll feel like something is "off" about whatever it is, kind of like milk that's gone sour. The more attuned you become, the clearer this communication becomes.
Things that help develop this relationship:
Observing your thoughts, emotions, and behaviour in the moment.
Developing self-awareness.
Building trust within yourself.
Learning to let go and trust that inner guidance.
Meditation.
Spending time by oneself without distractions.
All of this sort of growth takes time, patience, perseverance, strength and practice. It is the road less travelled, the most difficult one, but, in my experience, the most worthwhile one.
I hope am clear and do not get you thinking deep I just love critical thinking and logical conversations 😊😊😊
I swim deep, always have, lol.
