'Your GUT'
-How Intuition works
Once, on the morning of my final year engineering exam, all of my
class mates were discussing the subject. Out of nothing I just
declared my gut feeling and said-" I have a feeling that the
question paper would be out of course and it will not be as easy as
we are expecting it to be". Everyone was quiet for a while and there
were various slang responses. Soon we were settled and the paper was
distributed, after a brisk minute half the examination hall was
looking back at me and most of them were giving a look as it was
something I have done. Even I was surprised at the event but the
paper was actually not what anyone of us was expecting.
This has been a common
happening in my life where my intuition just makes me aware of a
situation in advance. Not many would believe that our sub conscious
mind has the power to actually influence things around us. Many of
us ridicule such happenings as coincidences even if certain things
happen to themselves. All of us have an intuition of some kind and
most of us just ignore it rather than utilizing this power to their
advantage. I feel stupid even stating this but yes, I can control
certain happenings and have successfully done it in the past. I can
not prove it or expect anyone to believe me in this matter but I am
having such weird experiences since a long time.
We are always
connected to that power greater than our physical selves and that
connection is our intuition.
So here are five key points for you to consider that will hopefully
help you get a better handle on the most powerful sense that you
have.
-
Your intuition is
your direct and absolute link to communication with Spirit.
-
Your intuitive
senses lay over your physical senses.
We get energetic or
intuitive feelings through energetic sight (like deja vu), energetic
hearing (you hear a small voice that gives you a warning or feels
like a hunch to follow), energetic feeling (a gut feeling in your
stomach that feels like butterflies or goose bumps) and energetic
knowing (feeling
like you just know how to do something or how a situation will turn
out without learning or cause).
-
Everyone is born
with intuition and has the ability to develop it to be strong and
reliable.
-
Intuition is always
the most efficient and accurate advice that you can get about any
issue, concern or desire.
-
Our society
encourages us to ignore our intuition and focus strictly on logic.
We
disengage from our energetic senses and end up feeling very
confused, anxious and taking a very long slow road to happiness.
Your intuition is always working whether you focus on it or not!
When you harness the power of your intuition you are able to fully
access your personal power. Not using your intuition is like having
eyes and ears and ignoring or fighting their functions. Your eyes
and ears are on your head and whether you are concentrating on using
them or not they are always working.
Intuition is real
and you have experienced it,
The best example I can
give of intuition is the feeling of first love. Ever had a feeling
for someone that makes you feel you are connected?
Ever felt infatuated
by someone at first sight and thought like he/she may be the perfect
partner for you?
If you have, then it's
easy for you to understand that this is intuition that tells you how
you match to a person. If you happen to meet and befriend that
person you will be surprised to see how much your wavelengths match
and how much you both compliment each other. It is not necessary
that you have a relationship with him/her to understand that
connection, but certainly you will feel unusually peaceful.
When we use our
intuition it may seem illogical but our decision feels right. It
feels like a sense of knowing or certainty that you may not be able
to describe. And your actions feel inspired. You feel led as opposed
to running after an outcome. You feel guided to take inspired action
and your hunch feels like a knowing instead of a reckless risk. It
feels like you have a control over the happenings around you.
People often are too
scared to live on their own terms, intuition guides you well if you
are really willing to listen to it. I do not know how, but to me the
answers are much difficult when I have options in hand and use my
knowledge and brains to choose. People often advise you to go with
the flow of life, and believe me this would work out very fine, if
you could just do the balancing act. It is exactly analogous to be
flowing with a river in a raft. You have a spool with which you can
balance the direction but if you try to control the motion, you
would have a very rough ride. The flow of life is same as the flow
of a river just extrapolate the concept and you will find many
similarities.
How to listen to
your Gut,
You have many feelings
that clutter your mind. You have to be able to distinguish between
fear, anxiety and intuition. Fear, anxiety, trust, belief these are
the experiences that shadow intuition and may make your decisions go
wrong. You have to disregard them first to listen to your inner
self. Intuition works better with a clear and peaceful mind. It is
very short lived feeling that may disappear in a split second. When
you need answers from your intuition, you need to get rid of all
other answers that are constantly popping in your head.
-
Just relax and
evaluate the situation.
This is what your gut is "from nowhere", and the nowhere generates
in a calm and composed mind. You will need a lot of your memory
space as the intuition program is very heavy for your RAM (pun
intended).
-
Be calm and then
evaluate your fears.
Overcome your fears by explaining your mind that these fears are not
going to be true. Now disregard the notions that arise in a scared
mind.
-
List down of what
ever is going on in a mind.
Pen them down. This clears your mind of the dilemmas and confusions.
you will have a better picture and a better understanding.
-
Think about the
whole thing as if you are not involved in it.
Give it a casual approach. Just think of what the situation is with
a third mans perspective. Don't think of ifs and buts, just calm
down and think about the matter peacefully without indulging into
irrelevant thoughts of consequences or constraints.
-
Catch the split
second thoughts that arise.
By now your mind will be giving you hints. Pick the most appropriate
ones. You will be surprised that your mind will be calm about
thinking even the worst of the situations. If it is going towards
the negative side and showing you alternatives or a brighter picture
of it, then you got your answer. On the other side if your mind
keeps rejecting those ideas in a righteous sense or it just keeps
assuring you with the positive thoughts, you got the answer.
-
It is a brisk
feeling (not thought) that arises in your mind
every now and then you
just have to catch it when it pops up. Make a tendency to pick up
intuition in daily routine. eep your mind relieved and just
flow with the flow, you will be able to listen to your inner voice
often, it is up to you on how to use it to your benefit.
It’s time to empower
yourself by harnessing your own intuition! When you take the time to
learn about, understand and tap into your intuition, you will find
that your decisions and actions are so much easier to make!
You will live so much more powerfully and efficiently. Your tasks
will be done in a fraction of the time because you will be working
from certainty instead of fear! You may consider the opinions of
others for a perspective but you will know that your intuition has
the final say!
