The Second and Third Keys to Accessing Your Intuition
In the lase Soulful Coaching newsletter, we looked a the first step to accessing your intuition, Embracing Your Body. We learned that intuition is located in the body, it is literal body wisdom and it is our job to reclaim the ways we have rejected or ignored our hands, our thighs, our hearts, on and on.
Now, we're ready to move on to the next key to Accessing Your Intuition, Honoring Your Body. When was the last time you actually honored your body?
What I mean by that is this:
When was the last time you thanked your eyes for helping you see the beautiful things around you? Thanked your legs for helping you get around? Thanked your belly and womb for helping re-nutrient your body and providing you with your women's mysteries? How often do you take time to simply honor and love your body with gratitude, remembering how sacred and important it is?
In order for us to truly tap into our intuition, we must respect and honor our bodies, let our bodies know that we are ready to listen. Only then can we sink deep into our body's wisdom to hear answers and get clarity about our lives.
Take Action - Honor Your Body!
1) Make 15 minutes just for yourself at home - Take time out of your day where you leave email and appointments behind and turn off the ringer for your phone. Perhaps you might want to light some candles or put on some soothing and inspiring music to set the mood.
2) Honor and Thank Each Part of Your Body - Start with your toes. You can either rub an essential oil of your choice into your toes or simply gently massage them. Work your way up your body to your feet, ankles, shins, and so on. As you pay loving attention to each body part, thank it for what it has done for you.
For example:"Thank you thighs for helping me workout today" or "Thank you fingers for allowing me to write my poetry" or "Thank you heart for letting me love so deeply" or "Thank you throat for letting me have a voice in the world."
3) Bless Yourself - After you have honored each particular part of your body, take a few more moments just for you. Stand up tall and straight. Close your eyes. Place one hand on your belly and one hand on your heart and simply breathe into your body. Say a short blessing or wish for yourself.
And then, just enjoy the gift you've given yourself! Now let's look at the third key to accessing your intuition: Asking for Clarity!
The first two steps to Accessing Your Intuition (they are Acknowledging Your Body and Embracing Your Body) allow us to prepare our ourselves so that we can receive the valuable information that is kept there. Once we have re-connected with our bodies and opened the channel for hearing our body wisdom, the next step is Asking for Clarity.
If you haven't done this before, it is amazing to discover that you really can hear the answers and information that are right for you if you simply ask the questions. So often, we forget to ask. However, the act of asking the question provides us an opportunity to focus on the issue at hand and get clear on what it is we really want to know.
Take Action - Ask for Clarity
1) Get Centered: Take 5 minutes out of the hustle and bustle of your day in a quiet, comfortable place. Close your eyes and take in 3 deep breathes, focusing on each breathe as you watch it move through your throat, to your heart, down into your belly, and back up again.
2) Ask for clarity: Focus in on the situation that you would like some information/intuition on. Ask a specific question about the situation out loud. Some examples of questions are: "What do I need to know about this situation right now?", "What is my next step here?", or "What needs to be revealed to me next?"
3) Listen: You may hear the answer, or see it, or simply know it deep inside. Whatever it is, allow yourself to be open to the answer. It may be something completely new, even shocking, or it may be something you've known all along. Perhaps you will only hear a part of your answer: that's ok too. Ask again the next day.
