Tuning in to Intuition
"How do I know it's really my intuition talking? How do I know
I'm not just making things up?" This is one of the biggest
concerns many of you seem to have when it comes to accessing
your own intuition. The fact is that our intuition is always
"on." It is constantly giving us information, every day of our
lives. Imagine a radio music station, running quietly in the
background, wherever you are, whatever you may be doing. The
music is so omnipresent that you don't even really hear it
anymore. Every once in a while you may catch an auditory glimpse
of it, a sweet chord that all too soon gets lost in the hustle
and bustle of everyday life. But because it is always with you,
it colors your life through your emotions and moods.
Subconsciously, you are absorbing information from it all day
long. This is how we get "gut feelings." Our subconscious sends
us intuitive information, and suddenly something hits us as
being "off." Or we feel incredibly drawn to people or
situations. Most of the time, this is how our intuition
communicates with us.
Now, however, we wish to access our intuition at the conscious
level. We want answers to specific questions. We want
information around the issues we are working on right now. And
so we sit down and meditate. We dowse. We use tarot cards,
runes, angel cards, or whatever other medium we may be drawn to.
We turn up the volume on that radio. And invariably, we're a
little disappointed. "This can't be my intuition," we think. "I
already knew all that." The little voice inside of us is just
like our own. It's nothing earth-shattering at all.
The music of our intuition has been running quietly in the
background all our lives. Is it any surprise that, when we turn
up the volume, every song seems awfully familiar? There are no
lightning bolts, no striking visions that remove us completely
from reality. No booming voice resounds in our head, gifting us
with startling revelations that change our lives. That's the
Hollywood version, but that's not how it happens.
The voice of your intuition is a quiet, familiar voice. It's
your own! Your intuition is a part of you, and always has been.
You've been hearing it every day of your life. The difference is
that now you've started listening. When you consciously tune
into that little voice, trust it. Believe in your own inner
wisdom. Act on what that small, familiar voice says. The proof
is in the pudding, as they say. Start with a leap of faith, and
see how your life unfolds.
