I wrote about this briefly on Facebook last night, but I wanted to expand more upon this subject of intuition. As a child I never defined why I knew things about people, I just knew that I knew. It was my highly sensitive intuition.
I spent a lot of time in the spotlight and on the stage as a child. As a result I was introduced to many different people who were strangers to me. I remember then that I had no fear of how these people would react to my discrimination, and I was authentic and honored my feelings about them. (It took me a few years to fine tune my off stage acting skills). What I found was that when I met someone new, whose energy I sensed was very positive, I was pleased and happy to meet them, shake hands, look them in the eye and have a conversation.
On the other hand, if the person I was meeting had a negative energy, I would have absolutely nothing to do with them. I wouldn’t say a word, wouldn’t allow them to touch me at all, and at times would hide behind the adult that was with me. I remember distinctly at the time hearing the word “shy” for the very first time, and not understanding what it meant. My father especially would excuse my very rude behavior and explain it away by just telling them “I’m sorry, she’s just shy.”
Later when I came to understand the definition of the word shy, I was perplexed that he would have labeled me as such. Usually these circumstances would have happened after I had just performed on stage in front of hundreds of people. Shy???? I am the furthest thing from shy I could imagine!!! Though I did not realize it at the time, I was just honoring my intuition.
We all have it. That voice inside, our inner being, that internal nudge, our gut instinct. It’s how we know when something feels right for us, or wrong. It keeps us safe, it guides us to our path of least resistance, it inspires us to the truth, and it illuminates our hearts to love. When we follow our intuition, life is always easier, and we are always glad we did. When we don’t… well… that’s when we usually start kicking our self for not taking that action that we knew we should have. But don’t despair… we’ve all been there.
The good news is we have our intuition with us always. We are in constant communication with our higher self, our inner child, that light within. So I invite myself and you to trust more. Trust yourself more. Trust your heart, your intuition, your gut. You know that you know, so trust that. You don’t even need to worry about trusting anyone outside of yourself… just trust yourself first and you will always be led the direction that will serve you best! I am sooooo very grateful for the gift of intuition, and the opportunity I have daily to let go of the controls and trust my inner being!
With Love,
Jules
