Reflection Questions:

What type of embodiment practice can you incorporate into your day today?

What feelings do you want to embody? How does that feeling differ from how you are currently feeling? How can you close the gap between the two?

In what ways is your body asking to be moved?

Lesson 11

Developing Your Intuition

Today’s Affirmation:

Everything I’m looking for I can find within me.

I like to think of intuition as your inner compass, that part of you that knows things without knowing how or why you know them. It’s the part of yourself you should turn to when you feel confused or unsure of a situation.

We often discredit our intuition. Our mind prefers logic, which makes us believe we have to have an explanation for everything. But this is not how we are meant to live all the time. There are times in our lives where logic cannot help us, and we must rely on our intuition, our inner knowing, to make the best decisions for ourselves.

Intuition has guided me my entire life. As a little girl, I always felt I was following my heart, and in a way, I was. I did what made me happy. I was being guided by my inner knowing.

I’ve relied on my intuition for all the decisions I’ve made in my life up until I was about twenty years old. Things changed after I graduated college, though; I started listening to all the adults in my life, the people who were cut off from their own inner knowing. I thought I had to get a job; I thought I just needed a paycheck. I wasn’t supposed to like what I was doing, but I needed to support myself.

I felt like the life was being sucked out of me. You might think I was the girl who didn’t want to grow up, but that’s not the case at all. As a young girl, I dreamed of being an adult, driving a car, and having responsibilities and independence. I wanted the freedom to make my own decisions and mistakes and learn my own way.

It was when I started to blend into the cultural norm that I felt I lost my way. I started to suppress what made me happy. I did as I was told and became the adult that got up, went to work, came home, drank a lot to forget about my miserable day, went to bed, and got up the next day to repeat the same cycle. Day in and day out, my life was passing me by.

I forgot about passion. I ignored all of those little bread crumbs that would have led me out of those situations. You know those sparks of insight and creativity, those ideas that light a fire within you? Those are intuitive hits.

As adults, we make so many excuses as to why we don’t follow those sparks. We say, “I don’t have time to paint; I’m too old to start a dance class; I never have time to write or be creative.
