Each and every person on this planet was created with an inner compass that guides our lives. This internal guidance system serves as an inner “truth meter” for want of a phrase, and it helps us to make important decisions at various critical turning points in our lives. Some call this natural gift of intuition, “spiritual guidance”, or “gut feelings”.
We all connect to intuition in our own unique way. Those souls with artistic or musical gifts may call upon their muse to inspire them with creative ideas. Those who do work that involves great physical or mental effort may connect with their inner wisdom by challenging themselves deeply to break through the barriers that may stand between themselves and their inner gifts. Some of us may lead very busy lives with not much time to tune into our internal guidance system, but our dreams may serve as messengers to share with us the important information we may have tuned out in the middle of a busy day.
Our intuition is a profound gift that connects our embodied physical self with our divine spiritual essence. The soul can communicate with our embodied self through this line of light, and we can develop this inner connection over time through meditation, contemplation, and the deep desire to come to know ourselves more.
Our intuition can benefit us at all times in our lives, especially during times of great stress or emotional difficulty. In situations where we are facing challenges such as the death of a loved one or an illness, many intense emotions will arise from within us. Our habitual supports are removed or shaken, which can cause us to feel unsettled and adrift, without anything to hold onto.
Our intuition can act as a guiding compass, instinctively pointing us toward the support we need to get through the difficulties we face. When our minds fail us because we feel overwhelmed, the voice of our inner wisdom speaks clearly and will repeat itself as often as necessary.
If we are used to being in control of our lives and are then suddenly faced with a situation we cannot control, we may feel scared and desperate because our usual methods of coping no longer are working. Intuition, however, will always work, even in the trickiest of circumstances, because our embodied human self in the physical world is always connected with our larger spiritual self.
In times of great challenge or crisis, our spiritual support systems are activated from the spiritual realms. Our connection with intuition or guidance is strengthened, and those loving beings in the spiritual realms that watch over us and guide our lives provide extra assistance.
If we have become used to brushing off our inner wisdom, or have shut down the intuitive parts of ourselves through years of neglect, it may feel as though we can’t find the thread of light that would reconnect us to our source. It is important to understand that no matter how disconnected we become from our divine inner wisdom, it is always available to us. Even if we have erected barriers to shut out our inner guidance for a time, these can be removed by cultivating a spiritual practice through meditation and intention.
If we have been disconnected from ourselves for a very long time, the process of reconnecting will often bring up old emotions, thoughts, and memories that we may have kept hidden from ourselves and that we were not ready to deal with. During this rebalancing phase, it is so helpful to engage in some kind of regular spiritual or emotional support system that can help stabilize our inner connection with our spirit.
One of the most challenging aspects of the healing process is remembering that emotions and memories from the past are coming up in order to be healed and released. A support system can help us to anchor in the strength of our inner being, to allow the emotions and feelings to pass through us, and to release them from our body, mind, and spirit.
As this cleansing process happens, intuition and inner wisdom are naturally strengthened, for there are fewer barriers between ourselves and our spirit. This deeper internal connection can provide a source of wisdom, freedom, empowerment, and comfort during difficult times, and will sustain us throughout life with greater love, joy, and peace. Inner wisdom is a great gift and is intended not only to bless our individual lives but to share with others to bless all of life through our connection with the divine.
