More on Intuition

It is my firm belief that you are the "expert" when it comes to understanding what it is that you need. The best gift you can give to yourself is time and space to breathe, meditate and stay in touch with your body. As a society, we do not honour these necessities sufficiently and tend to relinquish our power to others who declare their expertise.The mind is so powerful. You change your mind and you change your life. Fatigue, dis-ease are clues that we need to revisit the wisdom of our body, to follow the clues to their source and to make the necessary changes even if these changes are inconvenient in our "logical estimation".

I have recently had a request to do an intuitive scan for a young woman. As I am a Medical Intuitive, I could visit her energy field and with permission invite her body to share its wisdom with me. However, she was hesitant in requesting this service because somewhere within she already knows that she is the real expert. We may believe someone else has the magical ability to see into our lives and advise us on that which they deem to be best for us. Many are helpful, and of course there are others who, in the interest of their business can build dependency in those who come to them for help. There is no real magic in this. We all have access to such information. All that is required is the intent and the attentiveness to the clues.

The probing questions of this person seeking help reminded me of two very important things:

1. The first is that when seeking help from any professional, whether in health care or other fields, it is essential to be an informed consumer. Check out their credentials and what they are offering.
2. Secondly, trust that they can only report to you what you already know at some level of your being.

This second point is something I am in need of remembering myself. Just because I am an intuitive (as, by the way is everyone reading this) does not mean that I cannot get caught in the very human, very western tendency to figure things out rather than listening to the wisdom of the body. What is underneath my periodic insomnia? Why is Norm, my husband, who has post-taumatic epilepsy suddenly having more frequent seizures? Like others, I can worry and fret with the best of them when the issue comes close to home. But when I take the time to walk with my troubles, breathe through them and attentively listen to that inner wisdom, I can even discover the root causes of these issues.

Note: this is not thinking it through or researching it on the web but rather saying to myself, my inner wise guidance, "Let's take a walk in the woods, by the beach, around the block. Tell me what I can do to make this better." Then we walk, me, myself and I and out of that meditative, open, listening stance, I get a sense, a knowing that if I just take one more day off work, if I just exchange that hour of mindless computer gaming with a walk, a bubble bath, a meditation, Tai Chi in the garden, then my mind will stop racing. Then I can sleep better and get rid of the knot in my stomach that I created by suppressing the feelings of worry for Norm. When I know this. I can cry. I can release the knot. I can clear the resistence to see the solutions right under my nose.

We can know all that there is to know because we are intimately connected to the expert. Our self.
