Day 67: How Intuition Can Work in Your Life

This is from intuition and beyond by Sharon A. Klingler:

How Intuition Can Work in Your Life
1. It helps you to recognise the best opportunities available to you and supports you in taking the action to embrace those opportunities, regardless of what your other sources of information and opinion say.

When Oprah Winfrey first had the opportunity to move to Chicago, she says that she did so not because her common sense or her friends told her she should, but because her intuition directed her to go, in spite of the greater risk involved in moving away from her established career and into an untested market. 'When you have finished growing in one place or time, you know. Your soul tells you when it's time to move on.' The rest, of course, is history - still in the making!

2. It helps you make the best choices about relationships and about your actions within those relationships. (I have a client in New York City who was very hesitant to marry because of trust issues about sharing financial responsibility. But her inner voice wouldn't let her remain in fear. It led her to a happy marriage and an opportunity to work through her fears about security.)

3. It helps you make the right choices in financial matters (as in the case of Conrad Hilton, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and many others.)

4. It helps you tap into a greater experience of your creativity. (In a poll of Nobel Prize-winning scientists, the majority said they believed intuition had been an important factor in their discoveries.)

5. It creates a better understanding of your sense of purpose and how you can bring that purpose to bear in your life.

6. It will give you insight into the most beneficial changes you can make and the options that lie before you.

7. It could even save your life. (Countless individuals claim to have been saved by their intuition. Winston Churchill, for instance, said that listening to his intuition had kept him alive on a number of occasions, from his days in Africa through to the Second World War. In one of these instances, while visiting an anti-aircraft battery during a bombing raid, he sat in the staff car on the opposite side from where he would usually sit. During that drive, a bomb exploded so near the car that it was actually lifted into the air, but Churchill was saved. When his relieved wife asked him later that day why he had made that choice, he told her, 'Something said "Stop!" before I reached the car door held open for me. It then appeared to me that I was told I was meant to open the door on the other side and get in there - and that's what I did!)

Besides creating clarity out of confusion and being able to make the best choices, there are even greater results to developing a conscious rapport with your intuitive mind. Looking inward for answers instead of outside yourself will always bring a greater discovery of your strength, confidence and freedom in life.

The more you listen to your intuition, the easier all of your decision-making becomes - building trust in yourself and in your own ideas. And this growing trust will allow you to become more self-reliant and confident in your truth. Ultimately, the answer to 'Why use intuition?' is the same as the answer to 'What is intuition?' And that answer is:

Your intuition is your truth;
it is the voice of your spirit

If you listen to the voice of your truth, you will start to be more true to yourself, no matter what obstacles lie before you. And the more you live your truth, the more you will feel the freedom to follow your dreams!
