Listening to your intuition

[Guest guest]

ollowing Your Gut InstinctsAnyone can learn how to follow their intuitions, even an EGG HEAD like me.

In my healing practice I have often coached clients on learning how to

become more aware of their intuitive selves. Intuitive messages can

come from a variety of avenues. They can come in form of cravings for

particular foods. They can come to us through words of a stranger we

sit next to on the bus ride downtown. They can come through our night

dreams. They might be ideas that pop into our heads while standing at

the kitchen sink washing the supper dishes. Messages can come via

certain smells wafting in the air. These messages are available to us

more and more as we learn to listen for them.

When a person first becomes alert to intuitive messages it may seem

disturbing not to understand the importance or unimportance of the

messages.

Frankly, sometimes we just don't fully understand what these

intuitive flashes mean. It can be quite frustrating when we are GETTING

the message, but NOT GETTING any logical reasoning along with it. Well,

I'm here to tell you that if it is important for you to understand the

reason behind any message you will be given additional information

eventually. Try not to get bogged down with any nagging NEED TO KNOW.

Let it go..... consider this, explanations come along with intuitive

messages on a " need to know basis. "

For example: Perhaps your inner guidance tells you to eat avocados. You

are willing to eat them, but you wonder " Why Avocados? " You may even

explore the Internet to read up on the nutritional value of avocados.

But the reason you were given the message to eat avocados didn't have

anything to do with nutrition. It was to nudge you to go to the market

that day. While there, you bump into a fellow from your old

neighborhood who introduces you to the woman who is to become your life

partner. Well.... cool! You discover it doesn't really matter if you

eat avocados after all. But you might want to serve guacamole dip at

your wedding reception as a romantic gesture.

When people are first learning to pick up on their intuitive messages

they may feel as if they are being sent off on wild goose chases. And,

truthfully, I think that may be a fair evaluation. But the thing is, by

following through on your everyday hunches, you are actually taking

test drives, virtually honing in on your listening skills. These skills

will serve you well when the bigger, more important messages need to

surface, so pay attention! Everyone is psychic, but some people have

flabby psychic muscles. Learning to listen to your inner dialog tones

and strengthens this muscle. When we choose to ignore our gut

instincts, we are only hurting ourselves. My experience is that the

more I follow the pathway of my intuition the clearer the pathway gets.

EASIER SAID THAN DONE

Maybe you feel I'm making this all sound easier than it really is. But

the truth is most of us make listening to our inner guidance out to be

harder than it actually is. Admittedly, I still get hung up on this

stuff. I do trip up over my own intuitive messages at times.

How To Listen To Your Intuition

The reason I referred to myself as an EGG HEAD at the start of this

article was because of a recent intuitive message I was given. I was

facing a personal dilemma concerning making a decision that was

weighing heavily on my mind. Before I went to bed I had a one-sided

dialog with Wendy, a friend of mine who died last year. I didn't sense

Wendy's spiritual presence near me, but I was wishing she was around

because she had been a wonderful advisor when she was living on the

planet. Within two minutes I felt her essence near. Then I felt a

crackling thud on my head. I realized that Wendy had just cracked a raw

egg upon my head, I simultaneously heard Wendy's unforgettable laughter

in my inner ear. She then cracked 3 more raw eggs, allowing the gooey

insides to run down my head (naturally this was all third-eye imagery).

What's this all about, I wondered. Why was Wendy cracking raw eggs on

my head?? Soon afterwards I fell asleep, forgetting the incident

entirely until the next morning while in the shower. As I was

shampooing my hair I got that familiar... ah-ha feeling. The message

from Wendy was to tell me what an egghead I was to be seeking her out

for advice when I instinctively knew all along what my decision would

be. And, you know, she was right. My decision was already made, I just

needed to follow through with acting on it. That, and I think an egg-shampoo would be the perfect solution to make my hair shine beautifully.
