Intuition: Let It Guide You

Intuition will always guide us to something necessary for our evolution - be it a person or place or message or realisation. This podcast covers: logic vs intuition- how the soul and ego communicate, intuition and presence- why intuition cannot be found by looking to the past, and your personal intuitive blueprint - figuring out the way you receive intuition. There will also be a guided meditation, inviting you to open yourself up to receiving taps throughout the day.

The intuitive tap.

As we enter 2019,

Many of us are already feeling shifts in the ethers,

Like a heavy layer has fallen away.

There are new doors opening and invitations are awaiting us.

It is the perfect opportunity to let your guard down a little more and let intuition come to the fore.

Inviting the intuitive tap can be a seriously fun game.

So what is an intuitive tap?

I'm talking about those small or perhaps large inclinations inside saying do this,

Do that,

Stay here,

Not that.

All those little impulses that arrive,

Like bursts of insight or flashes of knowing.

In January is often a month we're inclined to be a little more playful and experimental.

Perhaps goals,

Dreams,

Desires are all at the forefront of your mind and that's totally wonderful.

My request right now is that you schedule time for intuitive taps.

So those urges,

Insights,

Inklings,

Hunches and knowings to make themselves felt,

Heard and seen and then to act on them.

So our intuition will always guide us to something necessary for our evolution.

Be it a person or place or message or realization,

The universe has a way of delivering things far greater,

More mind-blowing and powerful than our logical mind can conceive.

We are led towards destinations we could never have fully comprehended or planned.

And sometimes the reasons aren't obvious until later down the track and other times it's insanely obvious like a big aha moment.

But notice when you follow the taps,

The people,

Objects,

Places,

Sensations that come as a result will likely feel familiar or connected to you somehow and that's not necessarily in a comfortable way but like they were meant to be there.

And the people,

Places,

Objects and feelings that you're guided towards are always a teacher and a reflection and perhaps for a small reason,

A season or a lifetime.

And now it's important to distinguish logic and intuition.

And I like to differentiate between the two,

Similar to the difference between ice and steam.

And so we have ice which is solid and visible and tangible.

Logical thought like ice tends to be rigid,

Linear,

Structured based on evidence and past experience.

So when X happens,

Y follows.

Steam is far less structured.

It ebbs and flows,

Moves,

Dissipates and transforms instantaneously.

Sometimes you can see it but more so you can feel and sense it.

Intuition,

Similar to steam,

Lives in the subtle realm and we feel it in different ways.

So maybe you feel it as a gut instinct,

A smell,

Maybe it's a flash of an image or a voice or just that deep knowing.

It might even be a repetitive symbol or a phrase or a combination of all of these and whatever it is,

It's not meant to be steeped in logic and that is the beautiful and often very scary thing about intuition.

Intuition cannot be found by looking to the past.

It is found in the present moment so it exists in pure potential and that unfolds moment to moment.

So you can think of a flower and when it blossoms it is not yanked out of the soil by brute force but instead it rises towards the light revealing itself in its own sweet time.

Intuition similarly will arise in its own way.

The tap is not the voice of should do nor external instruction.

It cannot be forced and instead it's a spontaneous eruption.

The taps come to the being who can carry out the urge.

So have you ever noticed creative insights and inspirational ideas will spark in the most unlikely moments?

So maybe that's while driving or walking or listening to music,

Daydreaming,

Cooking,

Those sudden like flashes that come through.

Well that's the tap and you received it simply because you were relaxed and open and the volume of the critical mind was turned down.

So listening to intuition is the reason that many famous entrepreneurs,

Great artists and leaders have received their big break despite others believing they were crazy or sure to fail.

And the soul is here to learn,

Change and evolve.

Intuitive taps are the language of the soul.

The trail of breadcrumbs that you can follow that will lead to growth.

The ego's purpose is to protect and guard us so its job is to seek problems and our critical thoughts,

Judgments and logical reasons are the language of the ego and of course these are valuable.

However intuition opens us to creative solutions that exist only in the unknown.

And so what's your personal tap?

We've all got a different blueprint when it comes to intuition and you may receive the taps in different ways and differently depending on the situation.

I've gotten quite familiar with my intuition and I receive the taps in the following ways.

I've kind of split them into two.

So the first is what I like to call the initiation,

Meaning an urge to do something with no real rhyme or reason.

It feels like a creative force either entering through the crown of my head or rising up from the pit of my belly.

And the second version is the response so that is the validation or rejection of something that's placed on my path.

So it may be that I see or speak or hear of something and my intuition wants to validate it.

I will feel full body tingles or a sense of total elation and expansion inside and if it wants to reject it I sense heaviness or claustrophobia in my body.

If I resist taking action that my intuition wants literally everything inside me gets really agitated and antsy.

And Anadair Judith who wrote Eastern Body Western Mind says that intuition is available all the time and the question is will you pay attention?

We are heading into a new paradigm and way of living in which we no longer are limited to the five senses.

Intuition is far more involved and seeing as Aquarius season is around the corner a sense of creativity,

Intelligence and lightness awaits us.

So it really is the perfect time to start attuning yourself to the tap.

So two actually three steps.

First step relax and receive.

Simple act of relaxing will allow you to receive inner guidance so it's like the flower rising from the depths of the soil from the unconscious to the conscious realms.

Second step act.

So honor the intuitive tap and remember you have received the tap because you are the vessel that can act on it.

So follow the urge or message or hunch no matter how strange or wild it seems and you can just start small perhaps it's something out of routine a different root home or a random purchase at the supermarket maybe it's messaging someone that popped her mind.

Taps might not be actionable in the moment they arise but please take note of them be it on your phone or in a journal or a little voice memo whatever you do take note and then act when you can.

When you validate intuition you strengthen its powers.

And then the best step of all enjoy.

Let these taps guide you to your own magic destination a destiny you didn't plan to stumble upon but has been waiting for you all along.

A place that reflects your true nature passions and interests.

So tap tap your turn let me know the intuitive taps you receive and even better the taps that you honor and you can let me know either in the comments below the blog post in an email or over on Instagram Hannah yoga and so and just to seal this we audio I have a receptive meditation exercise and so you can either just switch this off or find yourself just feeling grounded so it doesn't matter whether you're lying down or seated or walking just notice a sense of grounding in your body and just feel the support beneath you.

Let me get to deepen and expand your breath soften your muscles and just truly relax the body feel floppy relaxed maybe it feels good to place one hand your body be it your heart or on your belly maybe noticing a rise and fall of your hand and unison with the breath.

Once you feel the sense of groundedness and relaxation just let yourself be receptive to whatever comes through.

You might open your palms to the sky it's a sign of openness and receptivity open yourself to the flow of thoughts feelings impulses let yourself be open to receiving messages throughout the day namaste

Thank you, I enjoyed listening; and appreciate the simplicity and clarity of your teaching. I'm keen to change my receptivity from passive to active, I hadn't really thought of it that way before. Thank you so much.

Great! I enjoyed both the podcast and meditation! For such an ethereal subject you made it very real and believable!

Very helpful information! Thank you💗A few months ago, I was really struggling with anxiety and depression because my soulkitty, Kitty Sunshine, became my angel. One day out of the blue, my intuition told me to google meditation and I found this amazing app. Since I’ve been meditating every day, my anxiety, depression and sleeplessness has really calmed down. I know that my intuition and my angel, Kitty Sunshine has guided me to meditate♥️☮️🙏🏻💫🌟

Beautiful. Thank you 🙏

Very helpful thank you 💕🙏🦋☘️💥⭐️✨

This was brilliant - thank you. What was the name of the book you mentioned? 🌻🙏🌻

Amazing, just what I needed. I’ve been feeling the intuitive tap to follow my creative path through painting and this helped solidify that feeling. Thank you!

The timing was kismet of course! Unbelievably kismet really : )

Excellent explanation. Bookmarked.
I get many ‘taps’ & am still learning to discern let alone follow vs resist. Everything u described was spot on especially when resisted. I love my intuition. 🙏🏼🌈🙏🏼

Thank you also for the short meditation after the talk!

Insightful. Will start making notes

Thank you. I've had "taps" here and there for awhile now. I'm going to start paying closer attention to them now thanks to you. 💜
