1min Wake Up Wellness Day 14- Trusting your Intuition


Intuition can be described as thoughts that come into our mind quickly without much reflection or beliefs that cannot be justified. As Carl Jung described it, "it is perception of the unconscious to bring forth ideas, images, possibilities, ways out of a blocked situation, by a process that is mostly unconscious."  This is fascinating isn't it?


Your Intuition is a very powerful tool.  Have you heard this inner voice, or felt this feeling in your body?  Have you missed the opportunity for something you really wanted to say or do? Practice accessing and trusting this inner knowing.  Here are a couple tips for practicing:

Keep a diary of intuitive impressions, whether they come through dreams, thoughts, sensations, or instantaneous insights.  You can learn your intuition's ways of communicating with you and check it's accuracy. If you are unsure how to start or have trouble accessing your intuition, begin each entry with gratitude for what you have learned that day regardless of how the learning arrived.
Nature often has a calming and centering effect, which helps your access to intuition. For example: Ask a question about an issue you are facing. (For example, what is missing from my life?) Focus on your question and then let it go. Take a walk in nature, fully embracing the present moment. Pick up an object from your surroundings-a stone, a stick, a leaf, whatever is lying there. Paying close attention to your object, ask your intuition, "What insights can nature give me about my question?"
