Using Your Intuition For a Happier, More Successful Life

I met a friend for lunch recently and as often happens with those I share time, our conversation turned to topics of spirituality and healing.

She described how her intuition, and trusting it as a Guiding force, was an integral part of the first part of her life. But she stopped trusting her intuition when she was in her 20s when she felt it had betrayed her.

Jane (I changed her name to protect her identity) has always been a very intuitive person. While she was growing up, she enjoyed the precognitive part of her that knew what would come next in her life. She would find herself in situations, both the meaningful and the completely inconsequential, and she would watch with joy as the scenarios would play out in front of her exactly as she had known they would.

When she was in her 20s Jane met a man whom she instantly knew would be her husband. Though they were both dating other people ortho the time, she knew it in her gut - or more accurately her solar plexus - that this was the man she would marry. Because they were dating other people, she and this man developed a friendship and remained friends for several years.

Throughout their friendship Jane waited for her premonition to come true, but it never did. When they finally had the opportunity to date it didn't work out the way Jane had seen it, and she felt foolish and betrayed for believing what she had been shown.

It can be hard when you are accustomed to trusting your intuition or any such intimate part of yourself and then things turn out differently than you thought they would. You might feel betrayed and let down when this happens.

Most people get mad when they feel their insights or some other intimate part of themselves have 'let them down'. For example, when a woman gets on a scale and she finds that she's unexpectedly gained weight, she gets mad at her body and feels that her body has in some way betrayed her.

Many people who get ill with anything from the flu to cancer, feel their bodies have betrayed them, and those that don't accomplish as much success in their careers as they'd like to, often feel betrayed by the promises of life and by themselves. Those that divorce feel betrayed not only by their loved ones but also by the love they felt in the beginning of the relationship. t-shirts much so that they can have a difficult time trusting love again.

Using your intuition to understand your experiences accurately, how you created them and the spiritual reasons for them, helps you to know who you are and how you fit into the world around you. This Divine Guidance also shows you how you can best move ahead.

When you misinterpret and misjudge your life experiences, yourself, your path, and your body you blind yourself to the spiritual wisdom available to you within these experiences. Though it may not seem like it at the time, your experiences are always guiding you in a deeply profound way to your truest desires. And, as well, to the realization of your true self.

When you misinterpret the meaning in your experiences and the reasons for them, you miss the illumination, the stepping stones of insight that lead you further along your path and closer to where you want to be. This Guidance is always there, teaching you, helping you and moving you out of what was and into what will be, all along lovingly guiding you to what you've asked to accomplish in this life.

Guidance may not be immediately obvious in a break-up or what feels or looks like a failure,but forward momentum comes to you in the form of ebb and flow. You need to awaken your natural abilities of spiritual insight, your connection to Divine Guidance to understand your experiences accurately and to allow it to guide you forward.

In my own life, I began seeing ghosts when I was young and I soon discovered that my psychic abilities weren't welcomed or appreciated by my family or friends. I often felt cursed and ashamed of who I was. It wasn't until later in life that I could see how these abilities were truly gifts and not something to hide. Since I learned to embrace my gifts, I've guided thousands of earthbound ghosts home, I've cleared homes and even developed a process that anyone can use to deepen their intuition and see the spiritual meaning within their experiences. This process connects you with your own spiritual insight, your Divine Guidance so you can see the meaning within your experiences. It helps you to release painful emotions, and get clarity so you can make better Abeaiymwi and move beyond the painful experiences of your life. It's a process that has helped countless people live happier, more successful lives.

Opening your connection to Divine Guidance and learning to access it whenever you need it is a skill that will help you every day, guiding you through big issues and small ones. You need a way to see yourself and your path objectively, to see the deeper beliefs of your unconscious, to awaken your memories of lifetimes gone by and to see more clearly how you're creating your future - before you live it.

Oh, and my friend Jane? I helped her to see that the man she thought she would marry was really someone from one of her past lives. When they met, she recognized him immediately, but the intimate connection she saw with him was an intense memory instead of insight into a future event.

Sometimes our soul memories are so vivid, they can feel like our future, as opposed to our past. As we navigate our lives, we often connect with those whom we have shared a history or a past life. When we meet them or even see them from afar, all of those once familiar feelings come rushing back and without a way to accurately understand them, it can be confusing.

We are all limitless beings, living a limitless existence and as a result there are many, many reasons for the feelings we feel, the fears we experience and the decisions we make.
