Hi everyone, We have a wonderful Intuition Development Class happening. We recently intuited some words to describe our intuition. Here is a list of those words.
Divine guidance, psychic knowing, truth, trust, clarity, light persistent, guide, reliable, angel, loving, wisdom, peace, friend, rock solid, always there, inherent, holy, right, direction, spiritual, sacred, trust, courageous, delicious, healer, beauty, focus, inside you, non-judging, source, healer, healing, self-perpetating, trustworthy, harmony, protective, gift, guidance.
So my question to you is… If it really is what we feel it is, then why not trust it all the time?

In my life, the question is not “why not trust my intuition,” as much as “how.”
I’m not a survivor of any spectacular dysfunctions — just the routine and banal abuses that got visited on boy-children during the 1950s. It was clear that my feelings and weird ideas were the last things anybody wanted to hear about, and that I should shut up, get out of the way, and do what I was told. Over six decades, I learned that lesson fairly well.
This is not, I should add, a male/female issue, and I don’t think it is about age. I speculate that since the dawn of the Industrial Age, natural and intuitive connections have receded in daily importance, and our survival has depended upon becoming more and more compatible with the machines that purport to serve us. The stress we feel in our daily life is our spirits, screaming as one part or another is amputated so we fit better into what passes for reality these days.
I learned those lessons fairly well, but — thank Spirit for my subversive side! — I did not learn them completely. Today’s work is the work of un-learning, un-burying, un-disconnecting(?), and finding a way through the territory that I have been going around for the past few decades.
I hope for a breakthrough, but I suspect I’m not going to get one. The words of my Quaker great-grandmother keep coming back: “Proceed as the way opens.”
I’m trusting more and then I muscle test when I don’t quite feel the enthusiastic “YES” that it was my intuition. . . and sometimes don’t know whether to trust the muscle test but I do know when it’s not my inner voice . . . I can tell by the way it sounds off.
Love Robin’s website. I’ll have to go there later when I have time.
The thought comes to mind “Be Still and Know that You are God (Goddess)” when I think of trusting my intuition. For me it’s been decades of un-doing the messages from childhood that I was not OK. If I’m not OK, then the things that I am hearing in my heart and soul must, also, not be OK. Slowly, slowly the years of healing and learning unwind the old messages until finally I trust that I do hear those ancestors that are speaking to me, to those nudges from my heart, and to those whisperings from my guides. Gradually I can lean back into the waiting wings of my dear, loving Guardian Angel and trust that she is there to hold me, love me, encourage me to go forward. It has for me, like Robin, and like you, Dawn, been both an un-learning process, and then a re-learning process. Each decade has brought it’s lessons and it’s openings. This fifth decade of my life has lately brought wonderful coaches such as Dawn, and others, to bring forward into conversations the Wisdom that lives inside me, the Guides and Angels that walk with me, and the trust and inner-peace I need in order to ‘hear’ my intuition. When I am still, when I am in the Now, when I am in the space of Love, when I am in my garden, those are the places that I hear and trust my intuition the most. Intuition is like a Garden ~~ the work is never finished ~~ but the journey is often full of joyful surprises!
Thank you all for sharing such profound thoughts as I can relate so well. In all of my exploration and study of our divine essence I keep hearing the words re-remembering. This makes sense then that we already have the information we need if we listen to our intuition with belief or faith. Thank you Dawn for being amonst the guides sent to us.
My intuition has always protected me at the most important times. Looking back on my life, the missteps and falls I made, the incredibly poor decisions I made, they all brought me to where I am now, which is a peaceful place to be. It isn’t where I thought I would be, but it ain’t bad. Every day is another day to explore why I am the way I am and how to make that fit into the lives of the people I want to be with. The more I explore ideas with Dawn, laugh about stuff that used to be so important, and learn new stuff, the clearer it all gets. So, thank you Dawn and Charlie, and all my fellow students of Dawn’s, for being so open and willing to take the journey of the spirit.
One of the things I learned in AA which has been very useful is to begin with the assumption that everybody is doing the best they can.
That’s the basis for forgiving others. Their intent is not evil, they simply came up short of where we wanted (or needed) them to be.
It’s also the basis for forgiving ourselves. We do our best with the tools we have at hand at any given time. We’re all entitled, at least occasionally, to wonder, “My God, what was I thinking?” but in fact we probably needed the lesson we got from the result of our decisions.
I have pretty much banished the term “poor decisions” from my vocabulary. They seemed at the time to be the only decisions I was capable of making, and I try not to beat myself up for not being as smart then as I . . . umm . . . allegedly am now. I had to go through THAT to get to THIS.
Wow, thanks to you all for these lovely insights. It’s a great way to start my day. I’m also reminded that Abraham says we cannot make a wrong decision, some are just more difficult than others. I’m not sure that is an exact quote. xoxoxo
