TRUSTING INTUITION
Are you intuitive? Of course you are.
Intuition is a sort of internal compass offering us direction. When we honor this direction, we tend to feel more satisfied with life experiences. We tend to lose trust in our intuitive knowledge at an early age when our parents and teachers challenge that knowledge. We then may choose to value their reaction more than our own. We pay less and less attention to those intuitive messages. What we substitute is internal dialogue that tends to conflict as if one part of the brains says, "Yes, do it!" and the other says, "No, don't do it!" This can be very stressful at times. Rationalization is applied too soon and we are confused in distinguishing intuition among those conflicting voices.
"Intuition will tell the thinking mind where to look next."
-Jonas Salk
Intuition isn't mysterious or mystical: it's very practical inner wisdom that can be used as a tool for dealing with everyday decisions and challenges.
RECONNECTING WITH INTUITION
Even though intuitive messages are not answered, it doesn't mean the intuitive phone isn't ringing. Rediscovering our intuition is as easy as paying attention to the messages that are sent. Some types of messages come from the physical body, the internal voice, vision and overall impulses.
When we reconnect with this internal instrument, we are able to find guidance, answer unanswered questions, create new questions, spark in-depth discussions, make confident decisions, ignite creativity, honor other people's decisions and fulfill our individuality and sense of purpose.
UPCOMING BOOK
To help leaders start listening to that intuitive voice, I'm working on a book of observations, meant to be opened at random. I plan on it including short observations, illustrations and labels that tantalize those intuitive senses.
