Hello and welcome to five minutes in nature with me Liz Scott.
I'm just pausing on a five bar wooden gate overlooking the moors.
I've just walked up my lane from home and this is the the gate I take which takes me on to the moors and the stream has just broken its bank a little bit so there's a puddle of mud and water on the other side of the gate where the stream is dribbling down and yeah I'm gonna get wet muddy feet as I go through this gate and it's a day with blue blue sky patches and clouds that are scudding along at quite a speed it's a beautiful day and as I look over the moorland I can see the rise of the hillside ahead of me with a lot of green light green of the grass and the speckled grey of the granite rocks that are poking up through boulders I can see kind of going up along up the hillside along with the darker darker green of gorse bushes that are little clumps of green dark green against the the lighter green of the grass kind of going up the hill and there's somebody I can see striding upwards really on a mission to climb the hill it's it's a lovely day for walking a lovely day to be out and my reflection today is is one where I want to just describe what it is to listen in to intuitive wisdom and I want you to have a reflect for yourself about your intuitive wisdom and what it feels like or sounds like to you and I'm gonna let you know what mine feels like to me because I was describing it the other day and I had a bit of an aha moment like oh that's what it feels like to me you see intuitive wisdom to me is not a voice talking to me telling me a direction of travel I don't have real clarity of a narrative of what I should do for me intuitive wisdom is much more like I catch a current within myself and the way I imagine this is I imagine that maybe I'm on an estuary or a wide wide river that's just about to reach the sea and on this river there are different currents I come across tidal currents there are eddies there is the current of the river and as I catch a current I can move effortlessly through the water because I'm effectively being carried and that's very much how it feels to me when I get in touch with my intuition it feels as though I've caught a current and the current will take me for part of the way it takes me for part of the way but it doesn't take me the whole distance it takes me on part of the journey it takes me on the next part of my journey and then often I pause because I no longer feel a strong current and I'm waiting to pick up the next current that's going to take me along as I was describing this to my friend I thought yeah that's just what it feels like my intuitive wisdom arises like currents and I sit on the current or I am with the current and it carries me for a certain distance and then I wait and then there'll be another current and it will take me along and I never actually know what my final destination is I just know whether I'm in the current or not and sometimes I'm waiting to catch the next current and I wonder if you have a relationship with your intuitive wisdom that you might put into words what does it feel like to you when you look within and you're looking to take the next step in life what does that feel like for you what does it look like to you what does it sound like to you so for me it feels as though I'm stepping into a current and I'm being carried along for a certain distance but I don't know the whole journey I just know that for the moment when I'm in the current that I'm going in the right direction because it's the only direction it's the only direction I could go in so today have a little reflection for yourself when you look within towards your intuitive wisdom how do you know that you're moving in the right direction how do you know that you are listening within to that deeper wisdom that you're not caught in the eddies of your thinking mind your ego mind how do you know that you are absolutely tuned into something deeper than yourself and that you are following its voice and you are absolutely on course even though you don't know where that's going to end up
