The beauty of intuition is that, if you listen, it will push you to grow

 The beauty of intuition is that, if you listen, it will push you to grow. In my experience, following what was clear in my gut made me address deeper and deeper levels of fear. It also pushed me to finally address my aversion to accepting help from loved ones. It taught me to have faith in the process, even though the plan was not crystal clear. Yung Pueblo  



Intuition, gut feeling, divine guidance, something in me - whatever name you call it. There is an unseen and untouched voice inside of us that pops up while we are alive.

I am not talking about your monkey mind - the ego chatting to you, berating you and scaring you. I am talking about a still, consistent voice that accompanies you in times where you are at a crossroad and making serious life decisions.

I call it Divine Guidance - it is always right on time, guiding with love - and sometimes the loving response is no.

The challenge is ,we will not hear or follow this voice when we are ALWAYS choosing to be busy, we will not hear or follow the voice when we do not acknowledge and feel or feelings, we will not hear or follow the voice when we are focused on distractions. The voice becomes stronger in silence and stillness. The voice becomes stronger when we feel or feelings,  when we are less distracted, when we accept ourselves - our innate power.

Your intuitive power, according to Ann Marie Marron,  helps us to gain insights, guidance, and information that are often beyond what the conceptual, logical mind. It requires slowing down, and opening into a depth of listening. Listening to your intuition takes courage, it takes slowing down, it takes authenticity and feeling our feelings, trust and faith. Many of us want evidence, we want to analyze, we want proof. Following with our intuition is not for the faint hearted. The doubt will come up, the fear, the questioning - intuition says - trust me! Its tough to trust the "unknown"

It is a gift!

What Does Support Look Like to You?

Image
  You save yourself energy when you learn to ask people what they need, instead of assuming you know best then acting on your own impulses. Allowing people to define what support looks like gives you an ability to assess if you have the capacity to show up - Minaa B If someone asks you right now, what does support look like to you, what would be your answer? It takes self reflection , self awareness and more importantly a whole load of authenticity to answer. On the flip side, do you rush to support others without them even asking- there may be times when that is required, however many a time we assume that we know what others want and need. The times when we do assume, after a while a feeling of resentment builds because "how could they be so ungrateful?" or "why are they not seeing their need for my help?" the other classic is "they must need my help to show them because they clearly are not seeing that they need support" We continue to assume what othe

Sensible Optimism

  Optimism is usually defined as a belief that things will go well. But that's incomplete. Sensible optimism is a belief that the odds are in your favor, and over time things will balance out to a good outcome even if what happens in between is filled with misery. And in fact you  know  it will be filled with misery. You can be optimistic that the long-term growth trajectory is up and to the right, but equally sure that the road between now and then is filled with landmines, and always will be. Those two things are not mutually exclusive." Who told us that all the roads on the Journey of life will be smooth and bump free? And even if you knew or remember who told you, why did you believe it given what you know? What if the blessing, what if the growth, what if the joy is found on the rocky bumpy road? What if? And if it is, we can rest easier that the bumps and rocky roads are designed with us in mind, designed for us to grow, to learn, to live a life that is filled with varie
