Following Your Intuition Is Always Right, Especially When It Makes No Sense

<big>I had followed my intution a few times in my life, but the time it became really obvious that my intuitive guidance was “right” was when I made the decision to go to Australia about 10 years ago. Up until the day I decided to go, I’d NEVER wanted to do any such mad thing – I mean, how many shoes can you get in a backpack anyway?

Understandably, all my friends were baffled and worried. Some of them told me I was mad, some tried to talk me out of it – pointing out that I usually manage to lose cinema tickets between the kiosk and the screening room (and excellent point!). I ignored all of it, only able to explain with “I know it’s the right thing to do.”

Did I ever have regrets? A couple of times – usually when I was tired, broke, lonely and being kept awake by other backpackers “getting busy”. Shudder. But apart from those very few moments, this illogical, out of character, strange decision was the best one I ever made. And now, if I ever get intuitive guidance that doesn’t appear to make sense, I pay a lot of attention!

Following that intuitive guidance brings you confidence in yourself, even when it doesn’t ‘work’ like you think it should, the very fact that you trusted yourself enough to take action gives you confidence. It can bring you adventure, fun, joy, love, sunsets over distant oceans, but most of all it brings you LIFE because your intuition will take you where you want to be, it will challenge you (gently if you ask it to!), and it will stretch you…which will make you feel alive.

So, what’s your intution telling you right now?

Space to Hear Yourself

At the end of my yoga class last night, I found myself having some great ideas for what to do in my life. And I often find that the best ideas for blog posts, videos and articles come when I am not sat at my desk in front of my keyboard! Why is this? Well, because we have much more wisdom than we give ourselves credit for. Whenever we’re trying to ‘think’ of a solution, we are putting immense pressure on our brain to come up with a piece of brilliance in the middle of the problem.

But creativity doesn’t work so well in a confined space like that. Ever had someone breathing down your neck as you’re trying to do something? It doesn’t help a lot does it? In fact, it makes it more pressured and difficult. You need to create the space to be able to hear yourself – your inner self, your intuition, which whispers gently to you. And that can’t be heard if you are shouting in the caverns of your mind ‘I NEED AN ANSWER’.

So when was the last time you had space to hear yourself? And when is the next time? Ideally, this will be daily…but even if you start with giving yourself space once this week, that’s a start!

Video: Pay Attention to Your Guidance

Video: How does your guidance come to you? EG Bruce Almighty – the signs are everywhere, and hugely obvious but Bruce cannot see them because he is looking for God to speak in a different way. Someone could be talking to someone else, but their words are also for your ears. How do you know? I have come to realise that there is a little thrill in my heart when I recognise some guidance for me, but in the beginning I just had to take on faith that the things that caught my attention were part of my guidance system. It is rare that the sky will brighten, and a message will be boomed out by a bearded bloke. More often it is more subtle – a throwaway comment from someone, an article you come across, a thought that just won’t go away! How does your guidance speak to you? Leave me a comment and let me know.

Trust Your Creativity

As you may know, I write a weekly newsletter – yesterday’s “Bit by bit by bit” I was delighted with when I first finished it. But on the last read through (when I had no time to re-write) I wasn’t as happy with it. Trusting my original creativity, I sent it anyway…and I have received more e-mails about this article than any other this year!

This is not a new phenomenon – often when I am unsure of a newsletter, it strikes a chord with certain readers. 3 of them this week said it felt like the universe was asking the very question they asked. So today, if you’re asking a question, trust that someone somewhere is working on the answer and be prepared to hear it. And if you’re the one sending the message, trust that your timing and subject are exactly right for someone out there.

OnTheBeach – Your True State of Being

- A note from Donna -

Oh, I was so enjoying that weather, I went out and bought a WICKED sun lounger (white and floral – it’s so cheery!) and it’s rained ever since. Aaaah, c’est la vie! But you know, whatever the weather is doing – get out and enjoy the outdoors. I was walking the dog today and everything looks so GREEN and gorgeous – because of the rain. Don’t let the rain get you down – get your wellies on, jump in some puddles and enjoy the green lusciousness of the country. (if you don’t live in England and you have decent weather – just enjoy that!)

- Your True State of Being -

So I was wondering what to write this week, and I was reminded of a message I get a lot (from my intuition, soul self, upstairs, whatever…from somewhere!) – be who you truly are. Do you know who you truly are? Not just your true personality, your true state of being. Most of us touch our true state of being occasionally – big occasions like weddings, births, and incredible experiences bring us close to that purity of feeling.

Sadly, most of the time our true state of being is hidden under a lifetime of worries, irrelevancies and distractions. So what is our true state of being? Love. Peace. Joy. Freedom. Bliss. Notice how you feel when you just say these words. Does one resonate with you more than others? For me, it’s joy. The very word tugs at my heart strings, and I KNOW that joy is my birthright.

As is love, peace, freedom and bliss. That is our true nature, our inner being, our soul is pure love, peace, joy, freedom and bliss. Easy to forget when the kids are screaming, the mortgage needs paying and you are stressed to the heavens. But we humans are pure love…just with lots of layers on! Take those layers off often and get in touch with who you truly are – you are an incredible, gifted, wonderful, gorgeous being with an immense capacity for love, joy, freedom, peace and bliss.

- Something To Play With -

I kept the article short this week so you’d have time for this quick meditation – breathe deeply, and as you breathe in imagine you are breathing in love from all around you (from spirit/God if that appeals to you). As you breathe out, imagine you are sending love out to all around you (or Spirit/God). Do this until you feel your heart expand with love…and if you can, keep going for a few more breaths and revel in this love!! Repeat often – you can even do this while staring at your computer screen…and no one will ever know!

March 2008 Book Recommendation – Journalution

Journalution by Sandy Grason. Have you ever kept a diary? Have you ever kept (or wanted to keep) a diary not just of your day to day life, but to connect with your inner wisdom? If not, and you are interested in accessing your inner wisdom (if you’re not, why not?!) by keeping a diary, check out Journalution by Sandy Grason. It’s a book about keeping a diary, or journalling – not only ideas on how and when (whatever works for you), also journalling prompts to get you moving. It’s a lovely book – Sandy’s style is friendly, warm and realistic – she knows life’s going to get in the way! I’ve been working with the journalling prompts for a couple of months, and I am loving the results already – my diary isn’t a moan about life anymore, it’s a place to dream, to find answers, and to have fun!
