Excerpt From Personal Power Through Awareness
Chapter 12 - Opening Your Intuition
Greetings from Orin!
What is intuition, and how does it operate? Sometimes it is easier to explain intuition by saying what it is not. It is not the mind that figures everything out. It does not work like a computer going a + b + c = d. It does not utilize the principles of logic, as a computer does. Intuition is not ego; it does not operate in a world of form and structure.
Intuition is the ability to know without words, to sense the truth without explanations. Intuition operates beyond time and space; it is link to your higher self. Intuition is not bound by the physical body. It operates knowing that past, present, and future are simultaneous. It takes the desires of your conscious mind, goes out into the future and finds ways for you to have them. It speaks to you through insights, revelations, and urges. It does not say to you as the intellect would, "I must do this tomorrow, this is on my list, this would be a good thing if I got it done." Instead the intuition says, "Wouldn't it be fun, wouldn't it be joyful? This is what I want to do today." Often intuition feels like the playful child within you trying to lure you away from your hard work to the world of joy and play with its strong inner urges. Amazingly, in that playful world you can connect with all the answers you spent months working and trying to find.
Intuition can synthesize ideas in a flash. Intuition goes beyond that which is known into the unknown. It can help you find answers and information that is not known in the mind of another person. If you find that you are attracted to that color it may be that you are opening in this area. To open your third eye, the challenge is to hear your intuition and then to follow it with action.
All of you have the ability to use your intuition and to follow your hunches. Sometimes you know who is going to be on the phone when it rings. That is intuition. You also have a vision of who you want to be. The challenge is to pay attention to that vision, to match it with your actions, words, attitudes, and behavior. You will feel your true power when you act upon your intuition.
The best way to open your intuition is to listen to it. How many of you have been hearing whispers in your mind that you have been ignoring? For instance, how many of you have heard whispers of what you would like to do for a career, but constantly create reasons why you can't do it? Would it not be simpler to create reasons why you can? It takes far more energy to hold yourself back than to allow yourself to move forward. Think how drained you feel when you dwell on the negative, and how energized you feel--and how easily things move--when you dwell on the positive.
Intuition talks to you in present time. Through urges, flashes of ideas, insights, and feelings, intuition moves you in certain directions. To hear it, pay attention to your inner world of ideas and feelings.
If you are forcing yourself to do one thing while your feelings are urging you to do something else, you are not paying attention to your intuition. Your intuition sends you messages constantly, telling you every moment what to do to open your energy. It is always directing you toward aliveness and a higher path.
PLAYSHEET
- Think of at least one time you followed your intuition in the past-perhaps acting on a feeling, hunch, or urge-and things turned out well.
- Think of something your mind has been whispering-or maybe even shouting-to you to do. These could be small or big things.
- Think of one step you could take toward this to bring it into your life.
- Mark your calendar with a date when you will take this step.
