5 Steps to Intuitive Healing

Intuition is a form of inner wisdom not mediated by the rational mind---and it's accessible to all! It's that still, small voice inside—an unflinching truth-teller committed to your well-being. Sometimes I experience it as a snap-shot-like flash, a gut feeling, a hunch, a physical sensation, a dream. Whatever the form it keeps a steady eye on our bodies and spirits, letting us know if something is out of sync.
Intuition is not something that is taught, it's an innate inner wisdom that insists you live in the moment with no expectations. Intuition is our birthright! To access it, here are five steps that can be applied to any issue you'll ever confront from healing your body, to deciding what to do next, to saving your life! Everyone can develop their intuition and utilize it as a powerful tool for living.
Step 1: Notice Your Beliefs
Your beliefs set the stage for healing. Positive attitudes stimulate growth and negative attitudes impede it. It's important to rid yourself of counterproductive attitudes that you may not even realize you have. If you examine your beliefs, choose life-enhancing ones and you'll create optimal wellness since your beliefs program your neurochemicals. Be completely true to yourself and this will free you from unconscious negative beliefs that can sabotage your healing.
Step 2: Be In Your Body
Your body is a complex and sensitive intuitive receptor. Make a commitment to be in it completely to heal. Most people in Western society are conditioned to live from the neck up, ignoring the rest of their body. This is counter-intuitive. Shift that perspective and enjoy your intellect but revel in your physicality as well. Being aware of the sensuousness of your body opens intuition. Then you'll become more aware of early warning signs your body sends. This gives you a head-start on preventing illness, choosing healthy relationships, and avoiding detrimental situations.
Step 3: Sense the Body's Subtle Energy
We are composed of flesh and blood, but also of subtle energy called "chi or ki or prana," a vital substance which penetrates the body and extends many feet beyond it. From an intuitive npoint of view, these vibrantly colored energy fields (or chakras) have a significant effect on our health so it's important that we learn to sense this energy within us, recognize when its off, and learn to correct the imbalance. Learn to tap into your body's energy.
Step 4: Ask for Inner Guidance
We each possess an intuitive voice that contains answers about our healing. Because our intellect is often so loud, this voice often gets drowned out. It's essential that we learn to access the stillness within—through meditation, quiet contemplation, connecting with nature, prayer—in order to gain answers about our health. Spend a few minutes each day devoted to listening to this voice. It may appear as a gut feeling, a hunch, an image, a sound, a memory, an instant knowing—as if a light bulb suddenly switched on. Learn to trust the signals your inner wisdom sends.
Step 5: Listen To Your Dreams
Intuition is the language of dreams. Dreams provide answers about health, relationships, career choices, any new direction. The secret is to remember them. I suggest keeping a dream journal by your bed. Before you go to sleep, ask a dream question. For instance, "Is this relationship healthy for me or should I move on?" The next morning, write down any dreams immediately before getting out of bed. Try repeating the question, every night for the next week until your answer comes. As you develop the habit of remembering dreams, you'll be able to benefit from this form of healing. ...........
