It is said that everything is energy and that there is an Intelligence that shapes this energy into our universe, our planet, our life. You might like to check out what science, quantum physics, has to say about this these days. It is also said that this Intelligence is within all of us, indeed within everything. People call this Intelligence by different names but in the end they are all talking about the same thing.
Getting consciously in touch with this Intelligence is best accomplished by meditating. Also Personal Growth is much accelerated when one takes time to meditate to get consciously in touch with this All Encompassing Presence. It is very beneficial for health and overall well being too. Plus as you grow spiritually you will find genuine joy and discover your Holy Grail within.
Another Personal Growth accelerator is Gratitude, feeling grateful.
When you wake up in the morning make sure that before you get out of bed you think of everything you can be grateful for.
For example: I am grateful for the sun. I am grateful for the air I breath. I am grateful for the morning light. I am grateful for the night rest I have enjoyed. I am grateful for the new day. I am grateful for my beautiful children. I am grateful for my friends. I am grateful for the birds and the trees. I am grateful for my feet. I am grateful for my arms.
Even if you might not start off feeling particularly grateful you will be amazed how you will start to feel grateful and blessed just by saying or thinking these and other gratitude quotes. Writing gratitude quotes down is also very effective.

Here is a meditation exercise you could do:
Sit with a straight spine, hands loosely resting on your legs and both feet on the ground. If you can sit cross legged on the floor that is also very good. Imagine a long strong beam of light (or cord, tree trunk, waterfall, root, whatever you prefer) extending from the base of your spine all the way to the centre of the Earth. LET anything that is troubling you fall away down this beam of light to the very centre of the Earth where it is neutralised and absorbed. Feel the pull from the Earth and LET anything that is not beneficial for you fall away into the Earth. Feel grounded, feel connected to the Earth. Now bring your attention to the centre of your head behind your eyes. Ask for all of your awareness to gather there in the centre of your head. LET it happen easily without straining. RELAX even if you feel that not all of you is there TRUST that eventually all of your awareness will be there. Now ask for a golden sun to start gently shining in the centre of your head. LET this beautiful golden sun ease, sooth and cleanse the centre of your head behind your eyes. RELAX. Know that you are home, know that you have arrived. Stay there as long as you like resting in the centre of your head, connected to the Earth.
Over time as you practise this meditation your head will become quieter and clearer. You will start to sense the Universal Intelligence.
