Do you ever talk with God (or whatever you call that voice of wisdom that seems to know better than you do)?  In other words, rather than praying or meditating and hoping something magical happens, do you ever pray or meditate to set an intention and then quiet your mind to receive valuable clarity, wisdom, and guidance specific to your needs?

Religion can be a very polarizing and even taboo topic. That's why most people shy away from it at work, dinner parties, and family gatherings.
