INTUITION

WHY INTUITION?

Have you wondered why you cant


seem to manifest more of what you
want into your life? One of the
greatest obstacles to manifesting is
undeveloped intuition.
Manifestation requires awareness and
sensitivity to many sources of information,
some of which comes from the unseen world.
You have to be able to see beyond the physical.
Reasoning will not get you further than what
you already know. Like any skill, intuition
takes time to develop, but the more you rely
on it, the stronger a guiding force it will
become in your life.

This sounds so easy, doesnt it? But when it

because you have to un-learn so many false beliefs

Be a Sponge! Receiving is an important element of intuition.


Try considering yourself as a sponge. A sponge
absorbs everything. It simply receives without
organizing or processing in any way. In contrast,
our minds love to label, classify, and organize.

intuitive self and thus facilitates manifestation of
what is truly aligned with your soul mission.
Be Playful

express your joyfulness?
In our serious, achievement-oriented culture, too
many people leave play behind in their childhood.
But in truth, the more playful and alive you are,
the more open you are to new possibilities.
Playfulness engages your physical body as well as
your mind and your spirit, and you are open to
receive and accept any intuitive information that
comes to you. A playful spirit and attitude helps
you accept what is happening in your life and be
flexible when necessary.
