My Intuition, My Gut Knowing.

Posted by Aundra

I experience something in my life that is so tangible that i’m puzzled there is no word for it. Others I have talked to also experience it, some more strongly than I. It is the feeling of “now is the the time to do it.” Often when I’m asked why I haven’t done something, the answer is I haven’t gotten this go-ahead. The astronauts receive a signal that comes close to describing it: “All systems are go.” — But they can at least tell where it’s coming from.

My intuitive sense of the natural, right thing to do under the circumstances—when I am quite enough to hear it—seems somehow to take the future circumstances into consideration. I feel like “Do this,” and it is only afterwards that I see the sense of it. The “sense” however, is not in everything working out the way I would like, but in always receiving an efficient and needed lesson in increased awareness.

To listen to my intuition is to identify my entire awareness, to be my entire experience, and not just my conscious perception. My total awareness synthesizes into a calm sense of direction that is above reason. It is only when my attention becomes fixated that I act like an unknowing part rather than a knowing whole. When I favor my conscious perception over my total awareness, I can no longer hear the guiding rhythm of one whole reality.

Calmness accompanies the whole. Fear accompanies the part. Intuition looks beyond the latest object of my concern to see the stillness of all outcomes.

Do you ever listen to your intuition?
