An
Introduction.
Here
we present you with our experience regarding intuition. We
give you some approaches to help you get in touch with your
own and we discuss the challenges we encountered with regards
our intuition in various phases of our unfolding as we move
beyond limits and into freedom. What we present here may shock
some of those who accept and work with their intuition at face
value.
What
is intuition?
It
is the inner feelings that guide you in your life. These have
nothing to do with emotional feelings that tell you what you
feel regarding situations or relationships in your human form.
Your emotions for example can be telling you that you are very
attracted to someone, that you really like them and that you
would really enjoy becoming involved and close to them while
your intuition can be telling you NO WAY - BACK OFF. Intuitive
feelings by and large come from the larger, inner parts of
yourself that you in some way have access too.
How can I develop my intuition
Many
people are either not in touch with their intuition or are
only partially in touch. Intuitive feelings are often subtle
and fine, so if your life is very chaotic and busy with no
room for you to give yourself some quite, personal and quality
time then you will probably find your intuition difficult if
not impossible to recognize. so, the first thing you need to
do is give yourself some quality relaxing time. The second
thing you need to do is learn to focus inwards. That is to
become aware of what is happening inside of yourself. Most
people don't do this. They take the body as a sophisticated
machine where as in reality it is the portal to your inner
world. So, the first thing you must do is decide to get in
touch with your inner worlds and find out what is happening
there. Feel what you are feeling in different parts of your
body, just breathe and BE. What are you feeling in your
abdomen area? Your chest? Your upper legs? Is there tension,
sadness, confusion? Is there nothing? Often there is
nothing if you don't want to feel? So, then ask yourself why
you don't want to feel?
We
recommend that you take 20 minutes each morning and each
evening and playfully explore what is happening inside of
yourself and why? This takes practice and for some courage?
Give yourself six weeks at least to do this. Get a book on
meditation and use a meditation approach that puts you in
touch with yourself. Do not use an approach that dismisses
your body. If you are interested in exploring yourself to
greater depths then we have an exercise that you may be
interested in working with, for this Click

What
is the source of intuition?
From
our experience, intuition initially comes from the soul form
parts of yourself that you are closest too? So, for example it
is likely that the soul form that initiated and projected a
part of itself into this human form is where your intuition
comes from. Now, as this form sent you here with a particular
agenda in mind then most of your intuition will be trying to
keep you in alignment with this agenda, helping you to
complete it? As we have said elsewhere there are some
huge contradictions in viewing higher selves / aspects as all
knowing and all wise when they project you here to help them
resolve limitations and restrictions. To understand more about
this then read the article; Higher self,
higher selves or something else?.
On
the other hand if you don't trust yourself, are not confident
about your capabilities or means of find solutions then you
may not be open to access a higher aspect at all rather you
may be relying on spirit guidance instead (which is fair
enough, I was like this when I started). You should therefore
understand that guidance may be using your intuitive channels
to pass on information either because you cannot allow
yourself anything else or your guidance wants you to itself.
We feel that this is a very dangerous position to take, as you
then have the possibility of being a servant or slave to your
guidance.
Different
levels of Intuition
a)
You can be completely out of touch with your inner
communication and have no intuition.
b)
You can have intuition that comes from and or supports you
following something or someone else. That is your intuition
will be helping you go somewhere through a focus that is
outside of your current self. This focus could come from so called
spiritual guidance, higher self or on this level a spiritual
master and so on and is for the most part driven by their
agendas and affiliations and not your own (even when you make
the choice to follow another's path).
c)
Intuition that comes from you taking full responsibility for
your path and your own decisions in forging that path. Here
the primary focus is from yourself. Secondary focus will come
from those YOU select as people who can support and help you
in YOUR movement. That is they have not chosen to help or
support you, on the contrary you have recruited them.
d) A
deeper intuition arises as you merge with, integrate and
transmute more and more of your soul forms and hence move
beyond their limitations and issues of separation (which
themselves at times cause intuitive conflict and
misrepresentation). This happens concurrently as a deeper
level of communion and wholeness arises within yourself.
Where
will your Intuition take you?
It
will (up to a point) take you in alignment with the focus of
what you want. If you don't particularly have a focus or what
you do have is not strong then it may well be that your
orientation comes from the higher aspect that projected you
here or if this is not the case perhaps spirit guidance. We
should also say that most people (and we mean most - so have a
think about this in relation to yourself) have poor focus and
are directly (through following someone else's path) having
their intuition influenced by their dependence on someone
else's focus and will to take them somewhere. People who
resolutely follow the guidance of someone or something else
simply have not done the basic growing necessary to reach a
secure enough space in themselves to make their own decisions
and take responsibility for themselves. In these cases your primary
concern should be on becoming secure and confident enough to
do this. Meaning that this should then become your primary
focus.
We
are amazed at the number of people who are lost to their
guidance. Why do most people working with beings in spirit
have the bizarrely naive idea that this guidance has their
absolute best interests at heart when this is, most of the
time simply not true? I painted my room pink because St.
Germaine told me too. I am going on holiday because Archangel
Michael told me I should. Guidance is supposed to be just
that. It IS NOT AND WAS NEVER SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT
SOMEONE TELLING YOU WHAT YOU SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT DO IN YOUR
LIFE? How is someone else telling you what you should do in
your life going to help you become secure enough to make your
own decisions so that YOU CAN LIVE YOUR OWN!! If guidance has
your best interests at heart, then it should be offering you
different ways of looking at things, new perspectives, new
ideas, different ways of thinking. A best interest at heart
guide should be helping you to leave your comfort zones and be
supporting you to move into uncomfortable areas. In other
words, it should have an agenda to help you grow. The problem
is that you attract what you want and most people want comfort
and security supplied rather than to actually do the hard
graft that results in them being comfortable and secure no
matter in what situation they find themselves.
A
strong and persistent focus will by and large have your
intuition taking you in that direction. A weak, part time
focus can have other things happening. When you have a very
strong focus with regards soul transformation at soul level
(which is not human or soul fragment level) then it is
important that you understand that at times you cannot even trust
your intuition. More on this now.
The
limits of Intuition?
Well,
as with other areas of this site we find ourselves giving
information that flies in the face of what is normally
presented and accepted. From our discussion above, we
talk about the limitations held within one soul form part.
However, what about the limitations that are held within more
than one soul form or that are a deep part of all forms of
your soul. Well, for those who are pushing their boundaries
and openly exploring a range of soul forms, then you quickly
come to understand that limitations are often very broadly
spread through your soul and the only way that your soul is
going to be free of them is to deal with them in their
entirety and not just in one soul form part as this will still
leave the others wanting. As this is what we are doing then we
have found that this causes confusion with regards your
intuition. Basically as you connect to more and more parts,
which have different ideas, agendas, understandings and
options for solutions or worse options for running away then
your intuition cannot be relied on to take you where you want
to go? We have experienced accessing parts (which then have
access to us) that are for example frightened of the
transformation process or who do not understand how limited
they are, or who see what we are doing as a threat to their
status quo (which we are) and so on, and so on. The wishes /
fears / limitations of these soul forms then come through via
your intuition and they can very easily present you with very
convincing intuition that will take you into a backwater -
safe for them and debilitating for YOU and hence ALL THAT YOU
ARE. We simply cannot overstate how difficult these areas are. This
is why we say that you can only trust your own focus and
determination to make a movement, this will force creation to
provide you with all that you need to support this movement,
which in this case will be information by other means that
will contradict your intuition to help you make a choice that
honours what you want. This is where trusting in your process
and yourself is very important, and therefore developing the
security and self confidence to do this is required - which of
course takes time, perseverance and courage.
