Using Your Intuition--Part One

Life isn't as simple as it used to be.  We have evolved our
society to a level that often seems out of touch with the basics
of living and learning in a human body. Yet as spirits, we are
creating bodies that are much more sensitive on a psychic level
than in generations past.  The combination of a sensitive body and
a complicated, artificial lifestyle can create tremendous pain,
feelings of unreality, unwellness, unconsciousness, and boredom.
It's no small wonder that the new age and human potential movements
have soared over the past few years, as sensitive people search
for their own inner guidance.

When I was a little girl, I was often sick and had low energy.
I came home from school and slept until dinner time. Doctors ran
every test under the sun and found nothing.  What was really going
on?  As a clairvoyant, I look back and realize that as a child,
I was healing the pain and dysfunction in my family.  I gave away
so much of my energy to keep the family going that I could not
operate my body well.   As a teenager, I never considered that
my mother's words "You're too sensitive" might actually carry a
much deeper truth.

"Sensitive" people are really just spirits who have created bodies
that are open on a psychic level.  You may not consider yourself
intuitive, but you wouldn't be reading this article if you weren't.
We often take psychic experiences for granted.  Ever been to the
mall and came home with a splitting headache?  Spent hours arguing
mentally with your boss or a friend?  Seen images in your head when
you close your eyes?  These are examples of trancemediumship,
telepathy, and clairvoyance, respectively.

The reason they don't make any sense is not that you don't have
intuition, just that what you are perceiving is "psychic clutter."
This is often what gets in the way of your communication with your
body.

Earth is like a spiritual development school.  As an immortal
spirit, you choose what kind of body you want (male or female,
blue eyes, red hair, tall or short, can sing or mountain climb,
etc.) before you incarnate.  Sometimes, you make very specific
choices, other times you just take the next body that is available
that will meet your needs.  You probably had more than one
learning goal for this lifetime, as well.

As a child, your path was clear to you.  Most very young children
remember who they are as a spirit.  Recently, I heard the story
of a two year old who climbed onto her mother's bed one morning
and asked "Mommy, do  you remember me?"  Her mother was
startled as the little girl continued: "You know, it was a
long time ago, back when we were sisters."

Once, I heard two little boys playing outside my window.  One
boy asked his friend "Do you remember what it was like before
you were born?"  The other one paused only a second. "Yeah,"
he replied, with absolute certainty,  and they both went on
with their game.

As children we remember, but time goes on and we absorb other
people's concepts, criticisms, and the "white noise" of society
into our consciousness.  This foreign energy is painful to both
body and spirit.  Gradually, we find ways to escape it and spend
more time out of our bodies.  This can take the form of daydreaming,
marathon shopping-or more serious escapism such as unhealthy foods,
drugs, television, alcohol, and more.

The farther you wander from your body, the harder it is to
communicate with it and create what you want through it.  Life
becomes stuck, and your spiritual goals do not move forward.
You wander off of your path and start living and doing what other
 people want you to do.  Sometimes, illness or tragic events are
the only way you as a spirit can get through to your body to say
"Stop, you need to go this way."

When you are in communication with your body, everything starts
to flow.  Your intuitive abilities begin to clear, and you can
use them to make your dreams come true.  Bodywork and spiritual
counselings are helpful, but it is important to learn how to
create that communication for yourself.  As a beginning, try
this short exercise:

Sit down in a quiet place where you won't be disturbed.  Take
ten, slow deep breaths and begin to relax your muscles.  Notice
where there is tension in your body and begin to let it go.
Now, say hello to your body.  Yes, that's right:  "Hello Body!"
Notice how it responds.  Do you feel an emotion?  Pain or
stress in some part of your anatomy?  Bodies communicate through
emotion and physical sensation.  Ask yourself what your body
is trying to tell you, and write down the answer.  It may not
make sense now, but write it down anyway.

Do this exercise every morning and evening, and you will begin
to receive a wealth of information about who you are and how
you can create more with less effort.  Honor what your body
tells you.   The more often you say hello to your body, the
better communication you will have with it, and the more you
can create through it.
