UNLEASHING YOUR INTUITION

To be the star of your own movie means unleashing your intuition. Your intuition knows what’s right for you, and what to learn from every situation you encounter on a daily basis. It knows who you truly are as no other could and your magnificent potential. Everyone is born with a unique talent and is meant to use it…it’s your gift and purpose for the world. Your intuition is the key to manifesting your talent. No other outside source has this information, so take direction from within first. Then wrap your analytical mind around the message from intuition. This is how to function fully in the world.
What is intuition? Some think of it as psychic ability, clairvoyance, etc. However, we all have the basic skills of intuition. We all relate to it as our ‘gut feelings’ and ‘instincts’. We all can remember times when we couldn’t explain logically why we knew what to do, and no one agreed with us, but it turned out to be the perfect thing to do. So why not use this untapped tool everyday in every decision we make. At the very least your life will be much more interesting.
Intuition is the voice of our spiritual side and as individual as our fingerprints. It is not from the analytical or reasoning mind. It is our inner knowing that has been with us since birth. It is most easily seen or felt in our bodies. When we encounter someone who is not good for us, we immediately feel uneasy in our stomachs. When we are not speaking our truth to someone, our throat tightens. These are messages from intuition. Listen to intuition as it is for your higher good. Take guidance from it.
Another way intuition speaks to us is through daydreaming, night dreams and imagination. These are out of the reasoning mind. Once intuition comes through, then wrap your reasoning mind around it to make it happen in the outside world. Coincidences and synchronicities are wonderful examples of intuition and universe working together to give your opportunities to step up to your power. Don’t ignore them.
You can access intuition by putting all thoughts aside of past and future. Empty your mind of thoughts and ask a question…your head must be empty for intuition to come through. An image, feeling or knowing will occur, but remember the first image will be the right one. As soon as you start thinking about it and fitting it into reason, you’ve stepped out of intuition. Be still and patient. You will either get a knowing right then, or something will come up for you throughout the day in a book, on TV, a friend you run into, etc.
Again, intuition is the first thought, feeling or image that comes to you. It’s usually subtle and gently, unless you keep ignoring it. If you have ignored it for years, it is dormant…time to use it again. It is there, it never goes away. Intuition helps you tap into the talent you were born with and can be used for the betterment of the world. This could be anything from a good salesman, to one who encourages, one who organizes, one who makes us laughs, bakes great cakes, etc. Once you use intuition on a habitual basis, your thinking mind and intuition will fit together like a hand in a glove.
