Today's
Meditation:
I
find it absolutely fascinating just how often my intuition
is completely right, even in situations in which there's no
explanation at all for it functioning. Sometimes I
know who's calling, and I even start thinking about that
person before the phone rings. Sometimes I know what's
going to happen, and I'm able to respond to the happening
before it ever happens. There are times when I know
what someone's going to say before they say it. The
intuition that we all have is not just a sacred gift but a
marvelous one, and it's a shame if we simply discount it and
what it gives us as simply chance.
As
I grow older, I try to rely more on my intuition and less on
my logic and reason. This goes counter to what the
people in my life expect me to do--in our country, at least,
we've put logic and reason in the highest positions of
importance while neglecting our intuition, the very thing
that we should be allowing to guide us more strongly.
But over the years I've noticed regularly that when I ignore
my intuition, things almost never work out for the best, and
they almost never work out the ways that I had planned for
them to work out with my logic and reason.
Part
of our problem with accepting intuition, I think, comes from
those people who equate intuition with mind reading or
predicting the future. Other people try to manipulate
us by making exorbitant claims about what they're able to do
because of intuition, and we find it hard to trust
them. But when we accept our intuition as a part of
who we are and make an effort to learn from it, to listen to it and
trust it, we find that our lives acquire a new dimension
that wasn't there before, a new connection with all that is
that we couldn't feel before.
You
have a gift--in fact, we all do. The question is
whether we're going to use it, or leave it wrapped up,
unused, while we play with the other gifts we've been given
in life.
