Each of us is born with amazing intuition, yet many of us do not realise this. Our intuition is shown to us through our gut feelings, insights, knowing and dreams. We make so many of our major life decisions based on it, so lets add more magic into our daily lives.
We have the answers to all our questions within ourselves and when we look deep enough we will find them. First we need to trust our vibes completely to allow that independent energy to surface, looking to ourselves for the answers rather than depending on others.
A simple technique to enable this process is to do a regular meditation. This opens our intuitive channels to allow our creative vibes to flow. The more we do it, the easier it becomes, so lets make more time available for sitting in stillness to do the following meditation:
- Take a moment to think where in your life you would like to add more intuition
- Sit quietly focusing on your breathe
- Breath in for the count of 3, hold for 3, breath out for the count of 3, hold for 3
- Repeat this for 5 minutes
- Start to inhale the colour purple
- Relax and enjoy the meditation
- Ask any question one at a time
- Listen to the answer through gut feelings/knowing/intuition/visions
- Trust your answer
Adding this into our daily routine will be one of greatest gifts we can give to ourselves. Personal freedom comes from trusting who we are and honouring what we need. An independent way is our reward to let go of old clingy co-dependant habits.
Using this technique greatly enriches our lives. It is an easy fast track way to make decisions that has our best interests at heart.
The key is to practise practise practise…..!
As I reach a significant birthday, I am reminded of life’s cycles.
There is something amazing about getting through your 30’s and feeling
really grown up to reach 40. Age is but a number and I can honestly say
inside I still feel 19. I certainly don’t look 19 but I have a newness
within, a more mature awareness of knowing who I am which has been kept
for now.
As women we go through 3 main cycles in our life; maiden years,
mother years and matriarch years. All these cycles teach us so much
about ourselves. Now gentlemen, you don’t get off scot free because you
also have your cycles; playboy, father and patriarch years. Sound
familiar?
Our maiden and playboy years are a coming of age. They are the ‘think
we know everything’ years and the world revolves around us cycle. It is
the absolute beauty of youth and naivety in its purest form. We reach
this cycle in our late teens around about 18 years old and continues
until our late twenties. The maiden and playboy cycles are the ‘me’
years full of fun, frivolity, discovery and not much responsibility. We
discover ourselves through relationships, levels of crazy fun,
superficial beauty and the ‘who cares’ energy. These years cannot last
forever or we would all suffer from burn out. Even the toughest of
maidens or playboys will one day move into mother and father cycles, it
is all in the learning and timing. It is important is to shed our old
skin, to leave behind this cycle embracing the next one. After all, this
is the youth cycle and they really do look so much better doing it.
Revisiting this cycle is fun especially when we have the energy but when
children come along, it may become a rare experience.
Moving into the mother and father years can be a difficult transition
for some. It is no longer about the me, but now a larger ‘we.’ This is
the start of responsibility and partnerships, where we select a partner
to travel through life with and start a family. For anyone who has
children I don’t need to tell you about the change it brings to your
life, so lets just call it the selfless times. I am aware many of you
may not have children however, you will still naturally move through
these cycles giving birth to many other life events. Being a mother or
father and watching your child grow, is such a blessed experience. These
beautiful little bundles of joy become our greatest teachers. Happening
in our early thirties to late forties, issues can arise when there is
trouble letting go of our maiden/playboy cycle, it can manifest into a
midlife crisis. So the sooner we embrace our mother/father energy, the
better. This cycle lasts a lifetime and shows us the true meaning of
‘we’ energy.
Embracing the matriarch and patriarch years happens around our
fifties. As I am not fully fledged into this cycle yet, I can only
observe what happens and I like what I see. The we becomes ‘us’ and
legacy comes into play. It moves into a collective oneness where giving
back and investing in the future becomes priority. The apron strings are
cut and grandchildren emerge. Suddenly the responsibility is lifted and
replaced with a lighter more fun approach. The wisdom of half a century
is put into practise with such ease and grace, as the former mother and
father years are upgraded. Age now equates to life experience and what
we have filled our lives with, will determine the outcome and reaction
to these years. The wonderful thing about this cycle, is the simple fact
that each and every matriarch and patriarch has done it all before.
There is vast knowledge and an opportunity to share it with those who
are clever enough to listen.
Whichever life cycle we are currently
living, learning, growth and newness will be offered to us. There is a
wealth of wonderfulness rich with teachings, all we need to do is
surrender to the flow and receive the gift of living.
