Can You Intuition Ever Be Wrong?

Intuition...the Soul's nudge or the Fool's gold?

It's a tough question and one I experienced on both sides of the coin!

There are a few things that happen whilst we try to follow our gut instinct and so I'm going to try and explain how I see this "glitch" in the easiest way possible...here goes ;)

1. TUNED IN AND TAPPED ON

In this scenario you are tuned into the bigger picture; your higher self; someone elses issues; clear of limited thinking; clear of any conditioning...etc etc etc and you are simply feeling the guidance and TRUSTING it no matter whether it makes sense to your mind or not!

The percentage of people who are able to be like this even some of the time I think right now is limited BUT there are more who are becoming aware of some kind of internal guidance system. They perhaps just don't know how to use it yet.

This is where we are aiming to get to. A clear "knowing" with a direct gut response that gives us clear guidance on something that perhaps our mind would dismiss!

You are able to find the balance of "good" and "bad" and eventually if you hone this skill you will be able to trust either of these as gifts because you will be able to see how each intuitive experience was guiding you towards you highest good at all times!

2. TUNED INTO THE WRONG FREQUENCY

Sometimes we can believe that we are picking up on an intuitive signal when actually we are slightly off centre. Our guts are super sensitive and if our THINKING is off...perhaps due to limiting beliefs about the self or old programming from our past then we can become focused on perhaps the "negative" side of intuition.

This is where we are so programmed to focus on only CERTAIN types of energies that we perhaps only intuit "negative" things and over time start to develop fear around our intuitive guidance!

3. FEAR LEADS THE WAY

Unfortunately, our Solar plexus...the home of our intuition...our emotional brain...can become clogged. If we have been in fearful circumstances (perhaps when young) we can start to clog our gut with a black cloud of doubt.

We doubt it's guidance because Fear speaks first. Fear has direct access to our brain and, for most of us, we have a fear voice that tells us that we "aren't good enough" or we are "too much" and perhaps we also have done lots of tuning into fear (as explained above) that we simply have trained our gut to pick up on "problems".

Fear thwarts our true connection to self and so someone who has trouble having any kind of intuitive guidance can have issues with fear blocking this essential life giving power centre.

4. BODY DISCONNECTION & MIND CONTROL

We are mostly trained out of recognising our body wisdom. We learn to sit still and focus on learning outside of ourselves and so we start to lose that intuitive wisdom that our body naturally holds over time.

We become very brain trained and most of that focus is on left brain activities where our artistic self, which way more connected to our bodies that our left brain self, isn't as developed perhaps.

Living a head-led life will stop intuitive guidance before it ever really truly begins because we aren't even aware that our bodies are speaking to us. From this place we NEED to reconnect to our bodies through meditation, movement such as dance, cleaning up our diets and re-learning about the feelings that we naturally HAD that are now coming back online!

5. WILL IS THE WAY

Sometimes our personal will gets in the way. We can long for something SOOOO much or we can be afraid of losing something perhaps or be determined that we are going in a certain direction and thus we miss all of our intuitive guidance because our WILL is leading the way.

Whilst determination can be an amazing trait our FREE WILL isn't always so great because it can decide, against Soul's guidance, which path it is taking and ignore the signs happening all around that tell us we are going against the Universe's best advice.

It's tricky because Source will never make you choose your Soul...but it will keep sending red flags or white flags along your path so that you have the CHOICE of which path to take.

If you are a person who's personal will is pretty plucky ;) then my advice to you would be to learn to pull back a little and question what the best path is. Even if your intuition doesn't creep back "online" straight away, the questioning will help you to start to discern which are the next steps in alignment with your Soul's guidance.

6. SOUL NEEDS YOU TO EXPERIENCE SOMETHING

Soul does this sneaky thing where you can be guided by your intuition and be on point but the guidance may be to keep going in a certain way UNTIL you learn something about yourself or a situation that you wouldn't have been able to or gotten so quickly to had you not had the guidance.

For example, you may have stayed in a relationship just that bit too long and the guidance may have been to leave, but you wouldn't have learned as quickly about how spot on your inner guidance was without the relationship testing you...and yes...that one happened to me.

In truth it's happened a few times in different situations. It's less than the knowings that are "correct" but there are times when intuition is meant to lead you to an apparent DEAD END simply because Soul is trying to teach you to let go, to clear a belief, to have you be somewhere else, to have you become the true you, to heal you ...the list goes on and on and on :)

CONCLUSION:

Your intuition can only really take you off track if you are disconnected in some of the ways above. You will start to KNOW you are online and connected when you start to TRUST the guidance more.

The only way I knew for sure that my intuition was ramping up was that the feeling was getting BIGGER each time and the more the guidance was confirmed that then activated a stronger KNOWING that I couldn't deny.

So the advancement of internal guidance is really determined by how much you are willing to HONE this amazing skill that most humans have forgotten!

For number 6....there is no way to avoid this if you truly want to be Soul led and the truth is whatever Soul is leading you towards is a darn sight more useful than whatever we TRY to lead ourselves to.

Self Protection as Self Rejection

In looking for an image that explains today's strangely named topic I came across this image. It speaks volumes to me of the prison that many times we are left in unaware of our jailer and more importantly, our own significance and power!

There are many times where Ego surfaces in our life to protect us. Ego's job, in part, is to protect us...if it has developed into a good, just, compassionate and caring parent within.

The problem is that, instead of being helped by our Ego, we are conditioned by it and our Ego has also rarely developed in full because it has been layered up with the beliefs and ideals of our Parents and beyond even them, down the family line.

But let's get back to self protection...

Self protection via the Ego is the kind that usually doesn't take risks. Ego, in this case, likes you just where you are thanks...even if it doensn't like you quite AS you are...but that's another story ;)

Ego will do it's best to hold you back from your truth if your truth looks scary; like a lot of hard work; like it's too risky; like you might get hurt; like you might fail; like you might be rejected etc etc AND ultimately like you might die. Ego is very afraid of death. Not particularly your actual death..but the fear of it's OWN self dying off and you waking up is very real to Ego and thus it will do whatever it can to stop that from happening.

So from here we can see that Ego believes that it is not only protecting you...it is protecting itself and it's HOST. The host being YOU. 

Again, back to self protection ;)

Ego uses Self Protection as a way to hold you back but also it feeds a much deeper darker secret. Ego is using FEAR under the guise of self protection to also make you REJECT parts of yourself.

I'm always saying that Shadow holds many golden nuggets and this is because Ego aims to hide these gifts and talents and POWER in a place where you will never go looking!

Think about it!

It's the perfect place right? Hide your own gifts and amazingness from you in your own SELF REJECTION and you will most likely never find them. 

Let me give you an example:

You are trained by your Parent's Ego that your sensitivity is "weakness". You learn that crying is NOT ok and you are unloveable in this state. You learn to hide your "weakness" and to put on a face that means even though you are bubbling inside, no one on the outside can see it.

Over time you adapt and become "stronger". You now see your impenetrability as a strength. The only emotion you allow is anger because you learned from your parents that this was  allowed and so now other emotions, such as grief, anxiety or saddness are displayed in much the same way. Anger outbursts of emotion.

Your Ego's defence system is now on lock down. You inner child imprisoned within it's confines. The jailer is the Ego (and Ego of mum & dad or other caregivers) and the true you within it's prison.

The jailer goads you with REJECTION of the parts of you that are actually key talents and skills you have to use for your and others greater good in this lifetime. 

Your inner jailer sounds like this...whenever you feel like crying, you berate yourself for being weak. Whenever your emotions are set to burst you project all over others for fear of being found out of being weak and afraid. Whenever your children cry you tell them "we don't do this"...and so the cycle repeats down the generations!

This is just one example but it's one that I'm sure you can see, has affected MANY people down the line. Men in particular...though there are generations of women who have been taught the same.

This is how Ego uses Self Protection as a way to diminish and REJECT the TRUE YOU and uses the lie of "you aren't worthy", "your too much", "you're weak", "you are ugly", "you aren't as good as", "you can't do it", "you're not capable", "you're a failure", "you'll never make it", "you'll never have it" which are all lines that prove that "you are ultimately un-loveable!"

Now you may be asking is there a way out of this?

The answer is a "HEAVEN YES" ;)

We have all been given FREE WILL. Now free will is talked about mostly negatively because Soul and Spirit can't make you wake up and most WILL chooses to stay asleep and believe the lie.

But here I want to introduce FREE WILL as a positive force.

Having free will means you have the ability to rise above Ego's conditioning and to escape the prison walls that hold you back. Let's face it, you can't be blamed, you were given the prison as a gift from a young age. You didn't know then that the only person holding the key that opens the door is YOU!

You believed what you were told about yourself. This lie became your own voice. It's hard to catch a voice that isn't yours when it sounds very much like you ;)

The key to unlocking you from this place is to cultivate a voice that diminishes the Egoic voice within. 

You must retrain your mind to be your friend and reconnect to your body wisdom. The mind has become our cage over time and we have forgotten to connect with our hearts and to intuit with our guts. We aren't taught this language anymore but we MUST reclaim it!

Meditate; do Yoga; find tribe who connect with you on a higher level; fill your mind with Soul led books rather than watching the news; learn about your inner child and find out who you came into this life as; recollect the teachings of your parents and understand that there is a voice within that was never yours to begin with; clear yourself of any false beliefs and most importantly

QUESTION EVERYTHING YOU THINK!

Because consciousness always resides in the question. "Is that really true"; "Maybe something else is going on here what could that be?"; "Maybe it's not about me"; "What if I were capable"; etc etc

Ask yourself from a POSITIVELY charged mindset and cultivate this voice for your Soul voice will NEVER say anything bad about you. It's here to guide you to your GREATNESS and surely we all need a little bit more of that in our lives!

Inner Child Reconnection

Your inner child is an extremely important part of you. In the work that I do, he or she is a pivotal piece of the puzzle in understanding your psyche.

Connecting to your inner child can give you the validation and healing you need to finally move past those inner blocks that have been holding you back in life. Let me explain why...

In the beginning, when we enter the earth, we begin as the Wonder Child.

Sure we have some imprints already perhaps via the DNA of our lineage but primarily, we start life in an unconditioned state.

As life progresses, we learn that our Caregivers have personalities, likes and dislikes and ways of speaking to us that are kind and caring and also disciplinarian.

We learn that WE have personalities also. We like and dislike things. Some types of music make us dance and songs make us sing. Some types of foods we think taste yucky and others we can't wait to try again.

But most of all we learn in our early years what makes us lovable and unlovable. 

Perhaps we learn as a shy child that we are forced into situations that make us uncomfortable. With no allowance of the fear you feel, no one to express it to and no way to release it from your mind and body you grow up experiencing panic attacks. For the most part you are ok but from time to time these attacks come back throughout your adult life.

Perhaps you were an artistic child who loves to paint and draw. After a time your parents decided this was not the academic standard and forced you into long hours of working on subjects that will take you far in life. You learn that your creativity is childish and that adulting does not include such fanciful things. This part of your natural self is now lost to the past.

Perhaps your Mother or Father like quiet children while you loved to bang pots with sticks and sing at the top of your lungs. You eventually learn that being a loud child means to be punished for it and so you adapt and try your hardest to become quiet around authority. Later in life you find it hard to speak up for yourself at work and are over looked many times over whenever there is a promotion.

These are just a few examples of how our wonder child becomes our wounded inner child. I hope from these examples you can see how easily we lose parts of ourselves and that we usually forget to go back and retrieve them.

You see, we don't realise we have lost anything...but we do feel loss...we usually just don't have words for it.

It's a feeling that we are somehow unseen. Perhaps we blame our Parents in some way for not being able to be our true selves...but for the most part, it's a feeling of not quite fitting in our own skin.

When I work with a client on their inner child, many times the child and personality of the adult have never conversed previously. The inner child can sometimes be afraid. Left alone for so long, fear has crept in. The work we do here is to reconnect inner child (lost pieces of the self and old wounds that have been waiting for healing) to our adult personality. Sometimes this reconnection happens in an instant and at other times it takes a few times before the inner child in the psyche is prepared to converse with the adult personality.

Very occasionally an inner child will refuse to reconnect and this is usually because there has been some bigger trauma along the line that has caused excess fear to take over and separate the inner child. In these cases there can be a dislike of children for example or a greater fear of being reconnected because the personality only knows themselves as they are now and are perhaps unwilling to integrate with their inner child due to the perceived "loss" of their "now" personality.

The truth is that when we finally accept and listen to our inner child and reconnect with love and acceptance, we become MORE of what we naturally are. More of our true self. More of our true nature AND we activate MORE of the talents and gifts that ONLY WE have in our unique and special way!

Whenever I meet anyone who is feeling like they can't move forward in life, who is stuck and afraid, or perhaps just on a plateau of existence and not thriving, I always encourage them to connect to their inner child first. To find out what they are missing from this lost part of self and bring more of them into their life before they try to do anything else.

Your inner child is in pain and needs your attention and love. Once acknowledged and received your wonder child will be released and reintegrated and you WILL feel more of the true you everyday.

Your inner child healing is your emotional and spiritual foundation and your power only really fully switch on when he or she is taken care of.

I will be speaking more on the other levels in the psyche that need your attention so make sure to stay tuned but for now this is the place where your Soul Reconnection begins!
