HELLO INTUITION!!

 Most of us grew up in families and social systems that told us what we needed to do and what we should do to be accepted. Abraham Maslow created a theory of how humans react and behave based on our needs and the role society plays in us having these needs met. 

One of the most important aspects of humans getting their needs met is that we often rely on the egos of the humans around us. Who hasn't worked for or known someone who worked for some really atrocious boss who is horribly behaved in general and then dysfunctional sometimes to the point of serious abuse? And yet some how we put up with it usually because we must have a few of Maslow's theory needs met.

In family systems, educational systems, work systems, religious systems, and any group we find ourselves in, we often become disempowered. We turn our power, our sense of value, and our confidence over to someone else's judgement. We make decisions from our conditioning of what the group designates that makes us successful. We live only within the criteria of that group context. We can be rewarded for pleasing the authorities of that group or we can be punished by the system for not behaving according to the rules that were established. 

That unhealthy and limited way of living is part of the old paradigm. We no longer need to turn our happiness over to something other than the Truth of ourselves. The good news is here!

Now it is the time to become familiar with and to trust our own knowing. This knowing can be called "Intuition". What exactly is intuition? Hard to say. Perhaps it is a profound seeing from the third eye chakra. Maybe it is a higher consciousness. It could even be a connection to wisdom from another dimension. I don't think it matters what it is or where it comes from. I believe getting in tuned, literally, with it is all that matters. How do we know which is our intuition and which is our ego talking to us? Eeekgads...should we really always listen to and act from our intuition?

Yes, our intuition is pretty amazing and guides us all towards a functional happier life experience. Will we always listen and act from our intuition? Probably not, however our intuition is not offended and it doesn't shut down and go away! We will always learn, if we choose to, what resistance and blocks we have to fully enjoying our life if we pay attention to our intuition and when we use it as well as when we don't!

A few years ago I was racing out the door to get to a client and I was already late from the start. Once in the car I saw that I needed gas immediately. As I was driving up to the four way intersection in my town that has three gas stations on four of the corners, I heard a very strong intuitive voice tell me get gas from the first gas station on the left. Typically I didn't go to this gas station because the gas is up to ten cents more expensive per gallon. My intuition was incredibly direct that I should go to that gas station, however I didn't want to deal with waiting for the possible traffic that I may have to cross over to get there. There might be a green light for the folks across the way or lots of cars coming from the yield sign turn that allows cars to continually cruise across the entrance way to the gas station. So, anticipating that I would have to wait due to cars that may come across my path and bar my speedy entrance to the station, I completely ignored my intuition as I projected that I would surely have to wait. I zoomed past the station on the left, across the intersection and made a smooth left turn into the cheaper gas station that was usually easy to get into. I hopped out of the car and swiped my debit card. Hhhmmm..."see the attendant" so I grabbed another card and swiped..."see the attendant". The grump started to well up inside me. I stomped into the building and into a line. Didn't these people know I was in a hurry?!

Apparently not. There were three people in front of me at the counter and a few lined up against the wall near the front door. Finally it was my turn.

"I would like 20 dollars on" I had to turn back to figure out what pump number I had saddled up to, "five...pump number five."

The young woman behind the counter smiled and said the unbelievable, "Oh, I am sorry, We have no gas."

I laughed. "What?"

She kept smiling, "We have no gas. It should be here soon, though."

What was this, the 70s?!?! How was it possible that at 10 a.m. there could be no gas at the gas station!

Then I realized I was busted! My fabulous intuition was right on it when I left my house and realized I needed gas. My amazing ability to tune in beyond the three dimensions was all on board and telling me exactly which gas station to go to but I completely talked myself out of following my intuition! I was projecting what might happen. I was in scarcity not wanting to pay any extra per gallon! Standing in the gas-less gas station I reviewed what happened when I actually drove by the gas station I was told to use. Truth? It was completely traffic free at that time and I could have easily crossed over the lanes to pull in!And the price of the gas? Only one cent more per gallon!

Today make a commitment to not only hear and feel your intuition but to use it! When others are pushing their agendas on you find out what that feels like in your body. Begin to recognize what YOUR TRUTH feels like and when you are in fear mode. We people please assuming that if we don't. we won't get out needs met! Consider believing that the BEST way to get your needs met is by relying on your higher self and the language of intuition that we all have access to knowing. Today is a great day to begin!
