Awakening Your Intuition

We live at a time when the capacity to hear Spirit’s voice speaking within our hearts and mind has become greater, due to the intensification of light within the physical plane. As a result, even for those who have wandered far away from a spiritual path, the way back is more possible than ever before. All you need is a wish to return and give time and attention to the voice of inner knowing that you may have previously been rejected. 

This inner knowing is what we call intuition. It takes place in silence and in the presence of inspiration that arrives from another level, often by asking and waiting. Though some intuitive perceptions are primarily focused within the human plane, for example, knowing someone so well that we can anticipate how they might react to something or what they might do, the kind of intuition that may be called ‘higher intuition’ comes from a different place. It is the voice of understanding that translates messages from the level of the soul where Divine truth, light, and wisdom can be heard.

There doesn’t have to be a great difference between human intuition and higher intuition. And yet, for many, there still remains a large gap – a space that makes it more difficult to hear the words that are being whispered to and from the soul. In order to bridge this gap, the mind and heart have to be willing and there needs to be at least the beginning of trust in one’s capacity ‘to know’ and to hear divine truth.

Intuition does not need to be taught; it needs to be allowed. It is a capacity that has always been within us in a dormant state, waiting for us to turn towards it, as a flower turns to the sun. Which is why we often call it ‘awakening’ intuition. We can start with a small willingness to 'know’ more of truth, light, and wisdom as it applies to our own lives and to the lives of those we love. We can begin to pray to have the obstacles that cloud understanding or diminish our perception of what this truth might be. 

A desire to make contact with higher truth begins to open the doors to inner knowing, especially when such desire is accompanied by a willingness to receive and to pay attention to what has been heard or sensed. There are people who ‘know’ things but do not believe what their inner senses tell them. They invalidate and reject what they feel or believe. This choice begins to close the doors to higher perception as it gives more power to fear; fear of being wrong, fear of being different, fear of needing to change one’s life based on what is heard. In order to open the doors to intuition and to keep them open, we need to be willing to hear and know, and we need to be willing to trust.

Trust is not a simple thing, for it often involves a reevaluation of how we have lived our lives. It may be that life has compelled us to be more practical, and more focused on the daily tasks of living and providing for others. Or, it may be that we have made mistakes in the past concerning who or what to trust. It also may be that we have forgotten that we have the capacity to feel more, to sense more, or to be more open to life on all levels. Trust involves not only a willingness to receive something from another level of our being. It also involves a willingness to believe in our own capacity to flow with life and to change what needs to be changed on the outside or on the inside in order to do so. 

Especially today, when there are so many great issues before us as a collective humanity, and so many actions taken that can have a profound effect on all of humankind, it is especially important that we reclaim our ability to know and to trust, that gives rise to intuition. To do otherwise leaves us in the precarious position of not knowing what or who to believe, and not knowing which direction to go in.  Without access to the deeper intuitive sense that is part of us, we live at the mercy of public opinion rather than in the presence of truth.

We can begin with a prayer or meditation; we can follow that with a period of silence in which we do not know and wait to be shown; we can make ourselves ready to become vessels of truth, light, and divine wisdom.

I recently had a deeply spiritual encounter as my father got sick and was transitioning to the afterlife.

>>>I followed a whisper in my spirit, found my father, and took him to the emergency room, on December 11th.

>>>My father was admitted to the hospital and he was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer that has spread to his brain.

>>>My father moved in with my husband and I after he was released from the hospital. 

>>>His health started to fail around the first week in January and he was admitted back into the hospital. 

>>> I was shown the number 1111 repeatedly two times a day for the last year.

>>> On the evening of 1.10, I was shown 1.11 and was also given a clear vision to wear white head to toe, go back to the hospital, and play sound bowls for my father.

>>> There was a knowing in my soul that my father needed space so I told him, "If you need to pass some time throughout the night, please go. But I   will be here first thing in the morning."

>>> I told my husband we needed to set our alarm for 6 a.m. to head over to the hospital early. The call came in at 6:10 a.m. that my father had taken his last breath. 

>>>The entire process from finding out my father was sick until his passing was 1 month to the day. 

It was a gift for our family to give our father the love he needed in his final days. I am grateful for my intuition and thankful I did not let fear or judgment knock me off track. 

We all experience pain in life, whether emotional or physical. No pain is alike, but we must all walk the journey and path that God has for our lives, yet God promises that there is a purpose in all pain. All God’s creations have a purpose. Humans don’t always look, feel, or act the way we want them to, but it is designed to teach us something about acceptance and unconditional love.

My father was a great teacher for me in this lifetime. He taught me unconditional love, grace, and forgiveness.

Life is not about the pursuit of happiness, it is ALL about the experiences of both positive and negative and being able to see the beauty in both. The recognition of intuition’s gifts may not happen immediately, but it will happen, and all of life celebrates when one who has left the path of recognizing their Divine self begins to tread the path of return.

With Love,
