I’ve been reflecting about following your intuition and also about surrender for a while now. But when you have lived mostly thinking
through things and trying to figure out what’s best for you, it can be tricky.
Here are a few ways that I’ve found helpful so far -
1) Is doing /not doing something driven by fear or love/enthusiasm?
2) Does doing/not doing something feel like resisting what wants to happen or does it feel like chasing after somehing that you think you should do
or have
?
See if it is the path of love & enthusiasm.
But today, I happened to re-watch the movie The Celestine Prophecy
(It is based on a novel about a main character who discovers a series of spiritual insights in an ancient manuscript in Peru). I found that this particular insight regarding intuition stood out for me.
Insight 6 -In pursuit of this mission we can discover an inner intuition that shows us where to go and what to do, and if we make only positive interpretations, brings a flow of coincidences that opens the doors for our mission to unfold
(The mission
here refers to our particular role in helping humanity evolve which is revealed through/as inner guidance once we are connected to our higher-self/awareness)
The bit about make only positive interpretations
points to completely trusting that nothing can ever go wrong
which is very interesting. If you are in 100% trust, and don’t have a preference of an outcome at all, you are free to play with intuition now. :)
Would love to hear about what listening to your intuition and inner guidance looks and feels like for you!
