“Listen to your intuition” – I began hearing that mantra from the age of 6 years old on. It was not an unreasonable request, my mother was a very intuitive soul and her innate insights served her well throughout her life.
It is not a trait or practice that I learned well, I was always in a hurry. Becoming intuitive takes practice, and time. You have to quiet your mind and settle, and listen to the message that is in the silence. It wasn’t until my mind was more mature that I was able to master this observance. Now, that silver has frosted the locks on my head, I am able to hear the quietude while in repose. I like the missives I am receiving. It’s like receiving a telegram from the Divine!
This morning, I received the message to turn my head to someone in need. The early hours of the day are important to me. I need to sit with my ideas and a warm beverage and ease into what may lay in wait. Sometimes I scour the news in an effort to increase my awareness. Finding the quiet is an important practice for any soul to be able to establish a feeling of calm and steady before ‘hitting the pavement’ so to speak. This is the kind of ritual that helps me to harness my approach to the rest of the day. It is in these moments that I take for myself where I create and give rise to the bettering of my humanity. In other words, I feed myself so that I can replenish and feed others. Take for example, I might ask for a strengthening of my communication skills in listening to a friend. Or I might ask for more patience and wisdom so that I deliver more loving words. I think in that morning hour, I am able to discover who and what I need to be for that day. This is an astonishing realization!
Each morning I discover that I am perfectly imperfect, but I also find that I am powerful. I seek each day to be the one that changes the luck of those I encounter just by my presence around them!
