I am excited by and committed to the direction revealed to me by my intuitive promptings each day. The curiosity and trust I place in my intuition allows me to be steered in the direction that best serves my own evolution. As I act upon these gentle promptings with certainty and conviction, the way is more easily and clearly revealed. I am always learning how to best listen to, trust upon and allow the experience of my intuition to support me in my life. As I increase my capacity to discern authenticity from image, soul from ego and essential nature(self) from personality, my fulfillment and satisfaction deepens. Uncovering and trusting one’s intuition is no doubt a life long process, one that I am enthralled by because it is so enriching and vital to living a purposeful and meaningful life. Andrew Cohen, spiritual teacher and founder of EnlightenNext Magazine says it so well in his article ‘Authentic Intuition‘. It is one of my recent favourites and speaks volumes. Enjoy and please share your comments below. I would love to hear from you to learn how your authentic intuition reveals itself. Click here to read Andrew Cohen’s article on Authentic Intuition.
I didn’t believe in my intuition until my son became ill…..and almost immediately, I felt that this was way, way more important than the doctors were trying to tell me. When I told my husband about my intuition that our son was extremely ill, he told me that I just had a negative view of the world. No, actually, despite praying and begging to God that my son get well, I knew in my heart that he was going to die. While in the hospital one night, he told me: “Mommy, I’m scared about dying.” I put my arms around him and replied: “Honey, I am scared too, but I promise you, you will never be alone.” Roughly 6 weeks after he first got a fever, after developing Giant Coronary Artery Aneurysms, he collapsed at home, in my arms. I kept my promise to him; he was not alone. And although I screamed to him: “Come back to me!” my intuition told me he was already gone.
I did CPR on my son in the ambulance, and the ER personnel worked on his little 8-year-old body for 45 minutes. But finally I told them to stop, to unhook him from the machines, and let me hold him. I held my son in my lap, singing his favorite lullaby, hoping that his spirit was still close enough to hear me, —-I held him until he grew cold.
I have never doubted my intuition since then.
