What is Intuition?
When you think of intuition you may think of the still small voice inside of you that tells you when things feel right, and when they do not. Or, you may think of the feeling in your gut that only happens when something is very right or very wrong. Or, you may think of that sense of knowing you get when you just know without knowing how you know.
All of these things are intuition. Intuition is our internal guidance system. It is the part of you that is wholly wise and loving. It is the part of you that will guide you towards thriving every time.
Where does intuition come from? Some of us may believe it comes from god or the holy spirit. Some of us may believe it is the voice of our own higher self or soul. Some of us may believe it is the wisdom of our unconscious mind. I believe intuition is all of these things and something so much more.
There is a force in the universe that is both in the world and is the entire world. This force is both in everything and is everything. It is the past present and future yet it is eternal. It is ever-changing and yet the only thing that does not change. It is all-knowing and yet cannot be separated from anything that exists, including ignorance. It embraces everything equally because it is everything equally. This force exists in perfect balance with its opposite and yet contains its opposite entirely. This force is called life.
LIFE. The force that brings lightning down from the sky and pushes tiny shoots of grass through layers of concrete. LIFE. The force that prevails even in acidic volcanic lakes and the deepest depths of the oceans. LIFE. The force that orchestrates all living and dying things in perfect harmony to ensure its own continuation.
This force is always looking out for what is in perfect contribution to the whole of life continuing to thrive in perfect balance and harmony. This is the force that lives and moves in each of us. I believe it is life itself that guides us. The force of life, all of nature, is your intuition. And it will always guide you to the greatest good for all living things in perfect harmony and contribution. Your thriving contributes to life. Life wants you to thrive and help everything else to thrive in the process.
