We All Have INTUITION

It’s Part of Our Divine Makeup by Maryann Pino Miller

It’s more than likely that all of us have used intuition at various times, but did not see it as an intuitive response or action or feeling. But because we followed it, we arrived at our destination safely, were prepared for a change in the weather, cancelled a trip only to find out we avoided an unforeseen accident or showed up at a friend’s home to find her needing comfort.

Going beyond our five senses can lead us to considering a connection to a Greater Power … God, Source, Universal Energy. It has been said “there is nothing new under the sun”. This can lead to everything we could ever want or need to know or understand is already present, just hanging around waiting for us to ask the question. And if we consider the concept of Oneness—being part of this Universal Energy/ Database—we can tap into ourselves for the answer.

How do I know the ways of all things at the beginning? By what is inside me. ~ Lao Tzu I know when I have a problem and have done all I can … thinking, figuring, planning … I keep listening in a sort of inside silence ‘til something clicks and I feel a right answer. ~ Conrad Hilton

Intuition or psychic ability has been around for ages. Sages, mystics, soothsayers and oracles have been revered and used throughout time for insights and guidance. There are individuals that make their living as intuitives, psychics, mediums, card readers and energy readers. Each has learned to find his or her way through their own unique journey connecting to and nurturing their gifts.

BEYOND THE FIVE SENSES Whatever name that’s given to the craft, we are talking about connecting to and believing in something we cannot see, hear, smell, taste or touch. In other words, we are moving into an area beyond our five senses. This has led to the term ESP or extrasensory perception. 40

PRACTICE Acceptance of having intuition and deciding on developing it sets Universal Energy into motion to help the process by sending out signs in the form of people, articles, books, workshops and situations that in some way support the desire to develop intuition. Our intuition guides us to the resources in the order they are needed.

YOU ARE IN TOUCH Like any other gift, talent or skill, intuition has to be nurtured and developed. The first step is to acknowledge possessing it. We have all probably used or heard the words “I had a hunch”, “mother’s intuition”, “woman’s intuition” or “gut-feel” and then a decision was made which provided favorable results. All of these phrases point to an innate knowing guiding all of us. During the times those phrases were used, there was probably a very strong “need to know”. According to Edgar Cayce, intuition plays a guiding role in our lives and is elicited by our need to know at a particular time, further connecting us to our God/ Source/Universe with guidance, protection, comfort and awareness.
