The Intuitive Way, Penney Peirce, Part 3

Penney has written a wonderful chapter, Living in Alignment with the Creation Cycle (chapter 3), that not only outlines her ideas of living aligned with what she calls the “Be, Do, Have, Be” cycle but offers many wonderful, quick and easy exercises to help us to avoid, as she says “getting in the way of life with thoughts that don’t move”.

I love the affirmation she has in that chapter that says “I feel anything and everything my body wants me to know”.

I don’t think it was any coincidence that this morning I watched Oprah’s interview with Portia DeGeneres (Portia De Rossi previously), in which she shares her former suffering as an anorexic/bulimic which nearly killed her at age 25.

Portia described how she had become so focused on thoughts (that wouldn’t move) that she lost track of everything and everyone around her. And she sure wasn’t listening to her body.

What saved her? Well, a health crisis, a collapse woke her up to a deeper desire to survive. And she credits a beautiful mare and horseback riding, with bringing her back into her body and into her deeper intuitive guidance.

And it’s the love she’s shared with Ellen, bringing her back present, more deeply to her heart that connected all the pieces. There you go, body, heart and then the head served the now whole person.

I’m thinking that my intuitive gifts and guidance can only be recognized and utilized when I’m not giving total control to only one part (mind, emotions or body) of my “being systems”. This week I’ll be watching and listening more closely to the guidance that I get from each of these, head, heart and body to help me stay available to Intuition’s guidance.

How about you? When you are listening to your head, your heart and your bodies needs too, does that help create a more trusted conduit for Intuitive messages to be perceived, received and acted upon? I’d love to hear about your experiences.

The Intuitive Way, Penney Peirce, Part 2

Unlocking the Secrets of Your Subconscious Mind

What if it’s true, what the author, Penney Peirce claims, that everything that I experience in my life is in answer to my inner, silent request for clarity, for an understanding of what lies beneath the surface of the “seen”?

Well, that changes the game then, doesn’t it? If I look more deeply at the experiences in my life, if I see those experiences as having the potential to be interpreted not only through my intellect, but through my intuition, inspiration and creativity…well then suddenly I’m quite the explorer!

I love that. Of what are you the explorer? What feedback, interpreted through your sense of intuition, inspiration and creativity, is your experience offering to you?

I can tell you, my current life lesson are around flexibility (I have teenagers, after all) and trust. And when I step back and allow my intuitive senses to help guide me, I can see and feel new abilities, questions, actions wanting to come forth.

I think I’ve found that during times when I allow myself to stretch into new experiences and abilities, it’s good to have some reliable comfort and support tools to lean on to ease my way. For me, that means rocking, shawls, flannel sheets, warm tea, and frequent walks. What are your reliable comfort activities that help you as you encourage your own shifts and changes?
