Take the Time to Listen

"Don't try to comprehend with your mind.  Your minds are

very limited.  Use your intuition."

Madeleine L'Engel

The word intuition was never really prevalent in my vocabulary while growing up, but I sure knew what a 'gut feeling' was ... I had them regularly and remained aware.  As a super sensitive child, emotions were always spinning and deeply felt in my third chakra ... the solar plexus. This remained true through much of my life.

My gut feelings never felt psychic nor did I believe they were a kind of power; but, I often felt as though I were receiving suggestions from Jesus, then God, then the Universe, and now the spirit of oneness.  I deeply believe that our instincts are nudges from the higher realm for encouragement or awareness, no matter what we choose to name them.

I am happy to report that I no longer operate primarily from my solar plexus, as I have moved up to the heart chakra, the fourth.  I strive to respond to life through my heart with the assistance of certain 'knowings'.  God or the Unknown continues to speak to all of us, if we but take the time to listen.
