You know that feeling you get? You know the one, the feeling deep inside yourself, that nagging feeling that something is just not right. You can’t put your finger on it, you question yourself. You allow your head to get involved. You ignore it. You push it down and don’t listen. You shut your ears and close your eyes. You don’t want to know. It will just go away if you ignore it, won’t it?
No, it won’t. That is your intuition calling you. It is screaming for you to sit up and take notice. It is giving you a gentle tap on the shoulder. A, “listen to me, I am trying to warn you about something that is really, really important”. But you don’t want to listen. Perhaps you don’t want to face it. Perhaps you have refused to listen for so long that you have lost confidence in yourself, in your own protection mechanism.
Well, guess what. The universe will make you listen. You have a choice. You either listen to that gentle tap, that feeling in your gut that something is wrong, or the universe is likely to come and whack you round the head by a bit of 4” x 2”.
Your intuition is a huge gift. It is something that we all have. We are all born with it, and it can save our lives. It is our inner protection system, and it is like a radar. Our intuition is felt in our gut, this is where the saying “a gut feeling” comes from. However, it dwells in the whole of our body. It floats in our aura. It has its feelers out and is on high alert the whole time. It is our connection with the universe and collective consciousness.
So, how does this actually work? You might get a suspicion about someone, someone who know well or that you have only just met. You might instantly like or dislike someone. You may get a strong feeling to drive home a different way to normal or to call a friend that you have not spoken to for a while.
You may find our why you felt like this, or the reason may never become apparent. It does not matter. The fact that you listened is the most important thing. You may have avoided being involved in an accident by driving home a different way. Your friend may have been feeling lost and dejected and really needed to be reminded that they were not on their own. They may never tell you. This does not matter.
How can you fine tune this inner gift? This is simple. Just by paying attention and listening to that inner voice and feeling. Our modern lives are so busy, so full of things that need to be done. We often don’t have time to catch our breath from the moment we awake until the moment we go back to sleep. This can lead us to ignore the inner warnings and feelings. Please don’t. Please make time. Listen to yourself and honour those thoughts and feelings.
Take some time each day to check in with yourself. Sit quietly, even for just 10 minutes with a cup of tea and listen. Trust your inner voice. Pay attention to the gentle taps because no one wants to be on the receiving end of a universal 4” x 2”. The more you listen, the more in tune you will become with yourself and the universe, and you will be able to take advantage of great opportunities that the universe will present you with.
You will be able to tap into the infinite resources that are available to each and every one of us if we just listen and pay attention. Life is generally good and positive. Everything is constantly shifting and changing and by paying attention you are able to change and adapt to any negative situations much more quickly.
So, the next time you get that nagging feeling in your gut. Stop, pay attention and listen. You might just change your life for the better.
