I think this could be an amazing way to ring in the new year, blending Intuition, Productivity and Love. Can it be done?

The Intuitive Way, Penney Peirce, Part 4

In chapter 4 Penney covers a topic that is a favorite of mine to play with, and one that I get questions about on a regular basis; how do I handle emotional blocks?

Her side note:

“If something negative happens, it doesn’t mean you’re off purpose”

and

” “There is no such thing as a bad vibration”

resonates with my own beliefs about those times in life that I can make up a story that is helpful, or is not helpful.

She highlights a technique she calls “Dialoguing with a Subconscious Block” which reminds me of the tool I teach in the Be Your Own Coach program “Emotions as Guidance”.

Basically she is advocating giving an image and a voice to the subconscious block and then doing some dialoguing. I know this always helps me. And I’m wondering what you all think about this, if you’ve tried dialoguing with your feelings or blocks, even physical pain, and whether you’ve found it helpful?

Did you do it by journaling? Meditating? Guided meditation? Asking and answering a series of questions?

I’d love some thoughts and experiences from you. And I’d love to hear if this process helped you stay connected to your intuitive guidance and creativity too?

Penney talks about Resistance in this chapter too. Which is interesting to me because Resistance is my blog topic this week. You might want to check that out on the front page too. I love her attitude of changing negativity into insight. Good stuff.

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.

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?

The Intuitive Way, Penney Peirce, Part 1

Last month we talked about Guidance, what it is, how to know if it’s coming in, how to tell if it’s true guidance or just mind chatter, and how to use it.
This month we’re going to continue diving in to the topic of receiving guidance through our intuitive pathways.
Penny makes a bold statement in beginning her book, “Intuition is the long-lost juice of life.”
I going to pick up that theme and run with it this month. So my question for you is this, are you feeling all the “juice in life” that you want? Could you stand to feel a bit more “juice”?

If so, come read along with me and explore how expanding our intuitive skills can pay off in a natural “high” that can have far reaching effects in our business, our relationships and our health.

So I’m going to go get reading and I’ll meet you back later in the week to explore Chapter 3, Living in Alignment with the Creative Cycle. I’ll also be bringing along some other favorite authors with complementary information.
Don’t forget to connect with me to stay updated and drop by Day-By-Day Radio for our very own Donna Seebo, Author of Mind Magic who will be engaging in live intuitive readings for our listeners on the air next month, October 6.
