Our intuition can bring us blessings
Thought for the Week
Getting to know ourselves is a key way to find happiness in our lives. In the Thought for the Week over the last two weeks we’ve discussed Observe ourselves, get to know ourselves (part 1 and part 2), now it’s time to explore our intuition and our true happy, loving selves, Soul.
It can take time to re-establish our connection with Soul. We probably have allowed a lot of mental baggage to distract us but we can reconnect with Soul via our intuition. If we try and grasp a few small intuitive messages first, test them and then begin to build out trust in the messages, bit by bit, we can get to the point where we get regular clear messages on all sorts of topics as we go about our lives.
Intuition
How do we recognise our intuition when it comes to us? This depends on our personality and awareness. Firstly we should ask to be shown ways in which our intuition comes to us. Who do we ask? We ask ourselves, our inner guide, our guardian angel, a saint or holy person, God, the life force, the Holy Spirit, or whoever we talk to when we need help in the spiritual area of our life. We do this to open ourselves to receive our intuitive messages. We then have to pay attention to the subtle things in our life, as our intuitive messages can come in several different ways.
Our intuition may come as:
A subtle thought,
An idea,
An urge to do something spontaneous,
A coincidence,
A series of similar events.
A dream that stays in our memory,
A feeling, a hunch or a knowing about a situation or subject.
Testing our intuition
Once we receive our intuitive messages, the next thing we need to do is test these messages to see if they are beneficial to us and those around us. For example, we could be walking to a particular place and as we proceed a series of similar events happen to us, such as people blocking our way. If this is an intuitive message it usually happens three or more times. We recognise that our way is being blocked and begin to wonder, Why? Is there a reason we should change our route? Is there danger ahead? Have we forgotten something? As we ask ourselves these questions we should be aware of any ideas or feelings coming to mind. If we feel uncomfortable about proceeding along the route, we should change direction. If an idea about something comes to mind we should think about it and see what we can do to deal with it now.
We now have a choice; do we follow our intuition or continue unchanged to our destination? If we want to test our intuition, we should go in the direction it suggests. When we get to the destination we may be able to check the original route to see if there may have been problems or challenges on the way. By testing our intuition in ways like this we begin to build up a trust in its suggestions. We are beginning to open up our line of communication with Soul, that true happy part of ourselves which gives this guidance and help to us.
Blessings
By reopening this connection with Soul, a flow of love begins to trickle into our lives. It shows itself as an appreciation of the blessings our intuition brings. Then it spreads onto our friends and loved ones, as we begin to see more of Soul’s love in our world as we benefit from the guidance our intuition gives us.
By using our intuition we are getting more in tune with life and our true selves and thereby going with the flow of life. Our intuition comes to us when it is needed, in the moment that is right for it to appear. We react to it, whatever way we choose and continue down the path of our lives. We no longer have to rely on our mind to calculate how we reach a point or goal. We use our mind to make a plan to get to where we wish to go but we watch and listen for intuitive messages which can guide us as we proceed. It all adds up to an easier, more pleasing and loving life.
Try it, it’s well worth the effort.
