Go with your gut; using your intuition
In this fast-paced world it is easy to feel confused, overwhelmed or lost. But don’t despair—you have an innate, internal compass to guide you through these hectic times. It’s called intuition.
Intuition is instinct. It expresses itself constantly by way of symptoms and signals in your body. If you pay attention to these signs you can find insight and answers to all sorts of questions you may have.
These “gut feelings” are signposts on the road to fulfillment. They can help us become healthier and happier and it is a vital part of harmonizing body, spirit and soul.
It is your inner compass leading you to truth, consciousness and more love. It will help you live an authentic life. Intuition is connect-ed with inspiration and can lead you to realize a more balanced and vibrant life experience. It is always there to support our well being, but do we listen to it? When did your intuition help guide you to a healthier outcome?
Intuition is innate, unlimited, transformative and free and yet many of us don’t use it to its full potential. When we combine intuition with human intellect, emotion and action, we increase our ability to have clear insight and heal.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO LISTEN TO YOUR INTUITION?
In order to make sure we aren’t ignoring our intuition, first we need to learn how to receive those messages.
Your body is fully equipped to be whole-some, happy and intuitively on target! It is a compass that gives clarity to your life path. Listening to intuition allows your heart to unveil its clarity.
Ignoring intuition often leads to regrets. Neglecting intuitive signals can create blocks or hardship. Even the act of ignoring is a burden, as you waste energy fighting what your body, your instincts are trying to tell you. Trust your instincts—they are yours, after all, and have the intelligence to understand what is best for you.
The inner compass of life connects us to the honest flow of our hearts. This is healthy and extremely energizing. Intuition causes us to confront, and thereby transforms, our obstacles, challenges and pain but only if we decide to listen.
Note: you don’t need to be a spiritual or religious person in order to connect with your intuition. It is a very natural part of life. In fact, very little effort is required to access all of the treasures, guidance and peace that await you. So be full of courage, bravery and love as you explore your truth.
