Intuition!

Intuition:  everyone has it, or at least had it.  Maybe there were negative influences in your life that tapped it down and now its gone by the wayside.  It isn't too late to tap into your intuition again. I was doing some reading on just that topic.  Why?  Because I am a multitasker, doing many things at once at my job.  And given that I work in a BigBox store, there is a constant barrage of people talking at me.  (Its funny, I used to go to the break room when there weren't many ppl there, but they installed a TV and ... blech. So much for trying to find a place to have a moment of quiet.)   but ... back to topic.

I wanted some pointers to get some of my intuition back.  I feel better when I'm being creative.   And I realize that there are steps we can take to be more intuitive.   Just what is intuition?  Some call it their little voice, but I like to think of it as a whisper from your soul.  And that's easier to hear when your mind is quiet.  Personally, I think we're over-bombarded with noises -- so much so that we allow them to distract us from any real thinking.  Never mind taking the time or opportunity to hear our soul whispering to us.

Just how do we do it?  First, allow yourself to relax.  Take some deep breaths, and stop focusing on the usual, the to-do list, etc.  Listen to yourself breathe, maybe you need to picture a "happy place" - sitting on the beach, in a park, in a forest.  Release your mind's chatter.  This is a simple way to have a brief meditation.

When we have a specific thing we want help with, when our mind is clear, and we think about our 'question' , our answer may come to us in symbols which aren't always logical, or it could be in specific answers.  But be patient!  Be open to songs, feelings, conversations, or synchronistic events (I'm a real big fan of noticing those!)

Pay attention to your dreams.  Keep a journal by your bed, and before you're fully awake, jot down any notes, words, feelings about your dreams.

And keep practicing!  Intuition takes work, an effort.  But it pays off!!
