Trusting Intuition

Most of us were taught in childhood not to trust our feelings, not to express ourselves honestly and not to recognize our inner creative , loving and powerful nature. Some of us learned very negative beliefs about ourselves. The casual comments by parents can become the very obstacles we face later in life when we are faced with looking for the truth about our resistance to be the beautiful, powerful, and intuitive adults we want to be.

When we consistently suppress and distrust our intuitive knowingness, looking instead for authority, validation, and approval from others, we give our personal power away. This leads to feelings of helplessness, emptiness, a sense of being a victim; eventually to anger and rage, and if these feelings are also suppressed, to depression and deadness. We may simply succumb to these feelings, lead a life of quiet numbness and desperation until we die. Or, we may overcompensate for our feelings of powerlessness by attempting to control and manipulate other people and our environment. And some, as we've seen,eventually burst forth with uncontrolled rage which is highly exaggerated and distorted by its long suppression.

It's important to acknowledge your feelings. Feel them. Allow them to move through you. Own them. They are your personal intuitive communication which, if allowed, will lead you to freedom. Trust what you feel. When you are willing to fully experience a particular feeling, the blocked energy releases quickly and the feeling dissolves. It is the suppression of feelings that causes your pain and depression. It is resistance to feeling that deadens your life.

Emotions are cyclical in nature and, like the eather, they are constantly changing. Int he course of an hour, a day, or a week we may move through a wide range of feelings. If we understand this, we can learn to enjoy all our feelings and simply allow them to keep changing. Allow them to change. Allow them to move through and release your powerful energy. Trust what you feel. Trust your intuition.
