Background

Throughout my lifelong path of personal growth I have explored many spiritual traditions. In addition, I have investigated numerous science-based approaches to human fulfillment and the pursuit of happiness. My search has led me to embrace three fundamental truths: 1) Profound wisdom for living resides within each of us; 2) Everything in the universe is connected; and 3) The world around us is full of personally significant meaning. Your Daily WHSP3R evolved from these three fundamental truths.

The “WHSP3R” (pronounced as “whisper”) in Your Daily WHSP3R is derived from what I call the WHSP3R Wheel™, which is a useful approach to creating a fulfilling, balanced life. I often refer to “Walking the WHSP3R Wheel”, by which I mean living a genuine life, aligned with your own values and fueled by your PERSONAL POWER. The WHSP3R Wheel is comprised of seven universal human life values: Wealth, Health, Spirit, Passion, Purpose, Play and Relationships. I will explain later how the WHSP3R Wheel plays an important role in Your Daily WHSP3R.

Your Daily WHSP3R is an easy, fun way to tap into your INTUITION—also called your psyche, your inner voice of wisdom or your “inner oracle”—to provide you with guidance for daily living. As you come to rely more and more on your own intuition, you increase your personal power, since you are relying less and less on outside persons or influences.

Your Daily WHSP3R incorporates three practices that have been part of human spirituality for thousands of years, especially within indigenous cultures. These spiritual practices are: 1) following a sacred calendar, 2) honoring the four sacred directions (East, North, West, South) and 3) honoring the four sacred elements (Fire, Air, Earth and Water).

These practices are used in Your Daily WHSP3R to access ARCHETYPAL symbols, forces, characteristics or personality types that are of universal relevance to human beings throughout the world. These archetypes are a doorway through which you enter the subconscious realm of your psyche, which is then able to speak to your conscious mind.

(NOTE: The archetypes used in Your Daily WHSP3R have been gathered from a number of sources, including numerous books and websites. In addition, my partner Terrie and I used our own intuition in making the final choices concerning which archetypes to include in the charts and under which day number, day symbol, sacred direction or sacred element.)

The sacred calendar used in Your Daily WHSP3R is based on the sacred calendar of the ancient Maya. I have come to see the use of this sacred calendar as a way to alter our consciousness by immersing ourselves in its symbols and archetypes. The Mayan sacred calendar is 260 days in length, and it cycles repeatedly and eternally. Each of the 260 days of the sacred calendar holds a certain quality or energy, based on a unique combination of a number (from 1-13) and 20 day symbols.

Your Daily WHSP3R invites you to align your life to the rhythms of the sacred calendar, while simultaneously tapping into the archetypes associated with the sacred directions and the sacred elements. Thus, you are connecting to the essential forces of the Cosmos, enabling you to both see and experience the profound connection between yourself and the rest of the Universe.

About Your Daily WHSP3R™

Your Daily WHSP3R involves creating a message both from you and to you! This may sound strange, but what is really happening is you are tapping into your intuition—your inner voice of wisdom—in order to deliver valuable life-enhancing and empowering information to your conscious mind. By consciously engaging our intuition, we can connect with our subconscious psyche--our soul--and benefit from all the information and wisdom stored there. Your Daily WHSP3R does just that.

Creating messages using Your Daily WHSP3R is quick, easy and fun. All you need are these charts and a common six-sided die, which you can either borrow from one of the board games lying around the house, or purchase at your local drugstore. Using your own intuition—your own inner voice of wisdom—YOU then create the “whisper” or message of wisdom that becomes your guide for living an empowered, connected daily life.

Implied in its name is the suggestion that you practice Your Daily WHSP3R on a daily basis. The idea here is that each day of our lives is a new opportunity to consciously connect with our inner wisdom and with the archetypal forces of the universe. However, do not feel bound or under any sense of obligation to practice Your Daily WHSP3R every single day.

Each time you decide to create and receive a “whisper” of wisdom, Your Daily WHSP3R will faithfully provide it. This is especially true if, as suggested in the Steps to Creating Your Daily WHSP3R below, you are specific in asking your intuition for guidance.

As human beings, we are creators of our own life experience. Therefore, our intentions are powerful forces—in fact, it has been said that intent is one of the most powerful forces in the Universe. By asking Your Daily WHSP3R™ to provide you specific guidance, you are engaging the power of your intentions—in effect, you are consciously participating in the act of creating your daily life. Thisis an act of personal power.

Preparing to Create Your Daily WHSP3R™ Message

Step 1
Consider taking some time to prepare your mind, body and spirit to connect with the Universe and with your inner wisdom. Of course, there are innumerable ways to do this, whether by meditation (using whatever technique works for you), relaxation (again using the method of your choice), self-hypnosis, or some other method.

Step 2
You may now choose from three options:  1) Create a general message that draws from the energies of the day, or 2) Create a general message that relates to a specific life value from the WHSP3R Wheel (see left column), or 3) Create a message that addresses a specific concern or question related to one of the life values from the WHSP3R Wheel. If you choose option (2) or (3), you will now select one of the life values from the WHSP3R Wheel. If you choose option (3) , you will also write down a specific issue or question you would like today’s message to address. Record both of these, preferrably in a journal or notebook.

Step 3
Identify today's Day Number* and Day Symbol* on the sacred calendar and record them.

*NOTE: If you want to be in sync with those people around the world who are following the Mayan sacred calendar, just check one of the numerous sites on the internet (e.g. MayanMajix.com) to find the Day Number and Day Symbol.

Step 4
Using Chart 1 find the specific sacred direction and sacred element associated with today’s Day Symbol on the sacred calendar and record these along with the Day Number and Day Symbol from Step 3.

Step 5
Using a six-sided die, roll four times* to identify and record the archetypes you will use in today’s message:
1) Referring to Chart 2, roll the die to identify the archetype associated with today's Day Number; 2) Referring to Chart 3, roll the die to identify the archetype associated with today's Day Symbol; 3) Referring to Chart 4, roll the die to identify the archetype associated with today’s sacred direction, which you recorded in Step 2; 4) Referring to Chart 5, roll the die to identify the archetype associated with today’s sacred element, which you recorded in Step 2.

*NOTE:  In my view, rolling a die represents the unknown or "random" element in human life.

Step 6
Record the archetypes you identified in Step 5.

Creating Your Daily WHSP3R™ Message

You are now ready to create today’s message using the archetypes/words you identified and recorded in Steps 5 & 6 above.

Your message may take the form of a single sentence or phrase, several sentences or phrases, or one or more paragraphs. The key here is to let your intuition kick in and speak to you, triggered by the life value you selected (if applicable per Step 2 above), the issue/question you decided to focus on (if applicable per Step 2 above) and by the archetypes you have identified and recorded. You will be ABSOLUTELY AMAZED at the relevance of the life guidance you receive and the personal power you will access via Your Daily WHSP3R messages!

Tips for Creating Your Daily WHSP3R™ Message

Here are some tips to consider as you create Your Daily WHSP3R messages:
--Try to disengage your analytical left brain, and let your right brain take over.
--Try using “stream of consciousness” writing.
--Try closing your eyes and visualizing images that are associated with the archetypal words.
--Don’t feel that you must use all four archetypal words in your message.
-Spend some time exploring how two or more of the archetypal words are connected.
--If you get stuck and can’t come up with a message using the archetypal words, try using one of the preparation methods mentioned in Step 1 above then try again to create your message
--Try drawing a circular diagram like the one at the top right corner of this page. Then write the specific archetypes for today's message on the outside of the circle. Use the lines inside the circle to help you make connections between the archetypes.
