Intuition, another form of bodily knowing, gives us answers, “gut feelings,” without the need for thought. Intuition is the ability to combine the perceptions of the fourth dimension and beyond, such as vision, hearing, proprioception (your location in space) and smell. All these abilities are derived from our brain’s functioning beyond the 10-15% range that is considered “normal.” Many people use their intuition everyday, but they call it “luck.”
Intuition is much like instincts, except that it calls in the messages, answers and protection from our Spirit Guides. Instincts and empathy come to us while we are in daily, beta brainwave consciousness whereas intuition can only be accessed by connect to our alpha brainwave, creative, states of consciousness. We get an intuition when we “think out of the box,” beyond the limitations of daily, third dimensional thinking.
Intuition can come to us as a warning or message from “above.” Of course, as we awaken, we realize that the message does not come from above, but instead from within. Hence, in order to receive our deepest intuition, we need to venture into the hidden place of our unconscious mind and injured heart.
If we cannot gain a clear reading on our own emotions, we will project that tainted reading onto our intuition about others and get faulty information. In other words, if we look out into the world with dark glasses, or an unclear aura, it will look as though the outside world is dirty or unclear.
Because we are unaware of our “dark glasses,” we will not realize that the darkness and lack of clarity is within our own consciousness. Unresolved fear, anger and sadness tarnish our vision of reality and make us feel too unsafe to surrender to Spirit to receive our healing.
As children many of us had perceptions of faeries, ghosts or the face on the tree, which were lost in our adult struggle for survival. To return to our innate intuition we need to heal our wounded ego and regain the innocence and wonder that we had as a child. When we find the courage to make this journey, we will meet with higher and wiser expressions of our SELF who will assist us with our awakening.
