Hello Dear ReadersI was list searching on Listorious and the 'aha' syndrome grabbed me! I thought I must write about intuition.
A favourite topic and long time friend of mine; also a major component of Tarot and card readings. Briefly, I will begin a three part series on 'intuition', this blog explaining simple methods to begin working with your intuition.
I had been thinking about the essential components of intuition. Those components that stimulate, cultivate and create a momentum for intuitive thought. I haven't at this stage of blogging, yet drawn the card for today.
I have been having current blockages, situations not permitting, consistent development a missing component; then I thought, best way to reach out for the intuitive ladder is to get on your horse and ride! so blogging began!
So stimulation of our intuition stream, needs continuous fueling; like maintaining energy momentum, once begun, less energy required to continue the ongoing rhythm. One method is to draw with your left hand. The right brain responsible for left sided mechanics, and also the intuitive side of the brain. To quell the dominance of the left sided brain inhibiting, obstructing intuitive flow, try 'doodling' with your left hand.
Another method, one favourite is to heart breathe. This centres the mind, creates energy flow from our major organ, the heart and fuels our creativity and intuitive stream. Of course my favourite site and invaluable place is:
www.heartmath.org
An incredible place, laden with invaluable information, simple techniques, user-friendly, anywhere, anytime and tips to relieve stress and stimulate intuitive thoughts and a way of life. Heart breathing creates a meditative state, enabling focus of light energies into various or all of your chakra centres. One I focus on frequently is the heart chakra and I channel the light energy from my centered heart chakra up to the third eye chakra where intuition flows.
Another method as invaluable as heartbreathing is listening to music that gives you that, " I JUST LOVE that MUSIC" feeling. Important to feel the 'I LOVE it' feel. It takes you to a different state in your inner being. A state devoid of the 'ego' sense of self. Playing an instrument or singing also aids embroidering of our intuitive fabric.
Last but not least, is use of the olfactory system, stimulating your limbic brain, releasing your intuitive self. Smell favourite scents, burn incense in honour of our mysterious gods! Feel the welling of comfortable, yet exciting emotion surge within when your olfactory centre is stimulated releasing your intuitive self. You will know when you have attained the correct stimulation, as you will feel surges of again, "I LOVE that"! Similarly this principle can be applied to our gustatory senses. Eat the food your heart tells you to; the food you really long to eat and savour! Make your favourite food that you maybe adored as a kid! Maybe it is beautiful Italian spaghetti and meatballs; delicious roast; pavlova; baclava; eat like the gods occasionally. Treat your gustatory senses to special indulgences. Use cumin, garlic, parsley, coriander and black pepper in your cooking, enliven your soul. The value these treats add to our senses, provides to our inner growth, meaning in life, and intuitive stream, are overlooked within our 'culture' of instantaneous gratification.
I LOVE intuition. We, speaking for our Western society, are imbued with socialisation processes undervaluing and underestimating the value of intuition and its part in human growth, knowledge; an essential component to meaning of our human lives. Intuition will find its own pathway to release! We never know what will niggle away at us to drive us to higher meaningful existence; 'tis often valuing the negative aspects of paucity of ability or opportunity, that steers us with a determination towards our higher and creative selves. There within lies the glory of Tarot readings, a beautiful tool that guides us in an intuitive way; taps into our subconscious needs essential to create meaning within our lives.
