Hi,
I'm Ronalyn,
And today we're going to practice listening to our intuition.
This guided practice will help you not only listen to yourself,
But be a more loving listener to others as well.
We are focused more on speaking than listening in this world,
And as a result,
The noise of our experience creates an impatience when we are asked to pay attention to someone else.
Listening requires more than our ears.
We can use our eyes as well as our senses to hear another being.
Sometimes we can hear even the unspoken,
And that is why we can communicate with other creatures.
We learn to hear their needs by watching and sensing.
These are the qualities we need to bring to our human connections.
So today we're going to practice by listening to ourself.
We only have a few minutes,
Just 10 or 15,
So let's just get started.
If this is your first time with me,
I'm going to ask you to trust me for just a few minutes.
Let yourself surrender to this experience as best you can,
Because these precious moments are for your benefit.
I know you can feel the longing of your soul for this gift of surrender.
Surrendering all of your roles and responsibilities,
Your worries and your concerns,
They are exhausting,
And part of you wishes that you could just let go,
Even for a few minutes.
Now is that time.
Find a place where you can be alone and uninterrupted for a few minutes.
Commit to the next minutes of uninterrupted time.
No phone,
No texting,
No distractions of any kind.
Close your eyes and feel how much lighter you feel as you surrender.
Sit comfortably with your feet flat on the ground beneath you,
Or whatever that is,
Or lie down.
Feel yourself sink into the support that holds you.
Give your weight completely to whatever is holding you.
Notice your breath.
Your body works so hard to sustain you,
And it thanks you for this gift of rest.
Feel the safety and comfort of this moment,
And know that there is no judgment here,
So you can let your thoughts wander without censorship.
Just let your thoughts come and go as I speak.
Notice the conversation in your head until it becomes a dull.
It doesn't matter if you hear every word I speak.
When you surrender this moment,
You will find yourself drifting away.
Just notice if you are escaping or exploring.
No judgment,
Just be curious.
When I ask questions,
Just notice the first answers that come to you,
And come into harmony with them,
Providing prompts and suggestions.
And your job is to let the answers flow easily,
Without restriction.
Soon enough,
All thoughts.
Just let yourself have this short journey for the next place,
And let the sounds wash over you.
Instead of giving me advice or dismissing what I am saying,
I whisper to you that I should not feel what I feel.
Instead,
Show me that you have heard,
So that you remain calm and alert,
Letting happy chaos or turbulent storms just pass away quietly.
What it is like to have me by your side.
What it is like to come home to yourself where I am breathing.
And let yourself remember your experience from time to time as you listen to others.
They want the same thing you gave to yourself.
