Trust your inner wisdom, it knows best

  0 

My dad always says: Value other people’s advice but always follow your own inner wisdom. This advice always serves me well. But of course, like all of us, there are days when I don’t choose to listen to my inner voice. This happens when my mind overtakes and I am so drawn into a problem that needs solving or influenced by the ideas of others. When I make a decision from this place, it doesn’t take me too long to realise, I should’ve listened to my own inner guidance. I recently had a couple of important decisions to make and I am pleased to say, that my inner wisdom presented me with the best choices again. So, how do you recognise the voice of your inner wisdom? Listed below are a few ways I believe can help.

How do I feel about this?

Ask yourself this simple question: ‘How do I feel about this?’ Then, pay attention to any signals within your physical body. Do you suddenly feel like you have a knot in your stomach or a lump in your throat? Or do you feel excited about what you are asking about?  A couple of months ago I made a YouTube video on this subject you may find useful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TGFnZhESTo

Are you doing this just to please someone?

Are you doing something just to please someone, so they won’t get upset with you and still like you, or do you genuinely want to do what they asking for? When you enquire within, you already know the answer. You feel it within the whole level of your being.

Meditation (sitting in stillness)

Meditation is a wonderful way to align with your inner wisdom. When I have an important decision to make, I know I need to go home to my true self and ask my inner guidance (my soul). I sit in stillness and take a few deep breaths. This allows me to quieten my mind. When I feel calmer, I ask how shall I deal with the situation? The answer may come to me straight away, tomorrow or within a few days. Try it.

Automatic writing

This is another powerful exercise you can try. Get out your diary and a pen and start writing. Write, whatever comes to your mind related to the things you may be confused about. When you read it back, you may find some answers you are looking for.

Value other people’s advice, but don’t get influenced by it too much

Like my dad says: Value other people’s advice but always follow your own inner wisdom. Others can give you a great insight from a different perspective and that is great, but remember, always do what feels right for you.

Four easy ways to strengthen your intuition

  0 
This blog is a follow up to my previous blog about intuition. If you have read it, you probably remember the story when my friend sensed, there was something wrong and felt he needed to text me right away. If you haven’t read it, here is the link  https://www.mysticbutterfly.co.uk/trust-your-intuition/ This week, I will give you few of my favourite ways how to start strengthening your intuition. I believe sharpening your intuition can serve you in a great way for the rest of your life. After all, we are a spiritual beings having a temporary human experience, and the gift of intuition is natural to us. We have only forgotten how to use it.

Listen to your feelings

Listening to your feelings rather than being always in your mind will help you to strengthen your intuition. When you are dealing with any situation or you have an important decision to make, ask yourself:  “What am I feeling?”  instead of what you are thinking. Notice any physical sensations when you ask yourself this question. Your soul communicates with you through your physical body. Its messages will always be expressed as physical sensations. Do you feel positive, excited, happy? Or uneasy, tense and uncomfortable. Listening to your feelings can help you start strengthening your intuition.

 Creativity 

Our souls long to express themselves in creative ways. Many people go to jobs they don’t like and complain about their lives. We have been conditioned to believe, that our ‘job titles’ define who we are. This is a big lie, that is haunting the entire world, and its long overdue to be finally dissolved. You are not what you do. You are a beautiful soul, which came to the Earth to express itself creatively. There is something within you, waiting to be discovered. Ask yourself these important questions? What is it that excites me? What activities do I enjoy where I completely forget about the time? It can be writing a poem, painting, going to a dance class, cooking or gardening. All of us have something within us, that makes us feel more alive. What makes you feel more alive? Creativity is another easy way to start strengthening  your intuition. It can help you align more with your soul, so you can begin to start living in your truth.

Allowing 

Allow things to unfold more naturally in your life. We live in a busy world that is ran by deadlines and schedules. We expect things to go certain way, and if they don’t we get frustrated. We try to control outcomes, and be in control of absolutely everything. This is virtually impossible, but it can also be understandable, because we want to be organised in life and of course plan ahead. But it also creates pressure that can silence the voice of our soul. We are more in our minds than in our souls. We need to reverse this process, and by doing so we can strengthen our intuition. By living more in the state of allowing will help us feel more at ease with ourselves and the world that surrounds us. Life will start unfolding more naturally and we’ll become happier. Allowing doesn’t mean you are careless, it’s simply a more joyful way of living.

Meditation 

Meditation is one of the easiest ways to start strengthening your intuition. It will allow you to revive the relationship with your soul. Your soul yearns for the moments of stillness. That is the space where it can share with you anything you need to know. Many people say they don’t have time for meditation. I believe otherwise. I believe everybody can find just a five minutes of their 24 hour day. Some say, they don’t know how to meditate. Well, here is my response. I’m going to share with you a very simple meditation you can practise almost anywhere at any time, and it doesn’t even have to be five minutes.

“I would like you to get comfortable and close your eyes to avoid any visual distractions. If you are tired, you can keep your eyes partially open, so you don’t fall asleep. Then, I would like you to start taking deep breaths, slowly and deeply. I always suggest to breathe in through your nose and breathe out through your mouth (if this is comfortable for you). Now, let’s add some visualisation to your breathing. When you are breathing in, I would like to visualise, that you are breathing in a beautiful pure white light. This light represents all the positive energy and the goodness this Universe has to offer. When you breathe out, I would like you to visualise, that you are breathing out anything that is no longer serving you. I call it, you are breathing out any clouds of darkness. Repeat this cycle of breathing for as long as it’s comfortable for you. Then, return your breathing to its normal pace. When you are ready open your eyes and have a little stretch. 

This is a very simple meditation that can help you strengthen your intuition. If you would like to find out more about meditation, I dedicated a whole page to the subject on my website https://www.mysticbutterfly.co.uk/meditation/

Trust your intuition

  0 

Last week, I was driving from Northampton back to London. It was late and a very foggy evening. The motorway wasn’t lit up properly, and the visibility was very bad. Even the fog lights on my car didn’t help me to see ahead properly. I’m generally quite a confident driver, and I don’t remember the last time I felt so uneasy on the road. I felt uncomfortable, and at times unsafe. All I wanted was to get home safely.

They were not many cars on the road that day, and that somehow made me feel quite lonely. I immediately called in the angels and my personal spirit guides to assist me. I could feel their presence instantly, as they were helping me get through the uncomfortable drive. I began feeling more at ease. When I changed the motorways and finally got closer to my home territory, I felt even more comfortable. I thanked the angels and my guides for staying with me and helping me to get through the scary drive. When I got home and parked, I checked my phone. There was a message from a dear friend of mine. He said, he just had a weird feeling that something was wrong. He felt he needed to text me to check if I was okay, and hoping his intuition was only a false alarm. His message has been sent at the exact time, when I was going through my fog driving burden. He picked on it immediately through his intuition.

Not a surprise 

Many of my friends are open to the conversation of spiritual guidance and intuition. This is the reason, we connect so well through our vibes and feelings. I have quite a few stories similar to this one. It wasn’t a surprise, that my friend picked on my discomfort. His soul knew something was wrong. I texted him right back to say I was okay. He felt relieved.

Yes, it’s your intuition 

This was a good example of trusting your intuition. My friend clearly felt there was something wrong. Do you also get a moments in your life when you feel something just doesn’t feel right? Or on the contrary. Do you feel something feels very good, and you should go for it without any hesitation? These are all signals from your soul, which shouldn’t be ignored.

What intuition actually is?  

Intuition is that quiet little voice which whispers to us all day long, helping us navigate through life. It is the voice of our soul. The problem is, we don’t always choose to listen to it. It is the ability to know something through our instinct, through our feelings. Some call it a sixth sense, others a gut feeling. I’m sure you have already experienced your intuition. For example: Have you ever met somebody and you immediately felt they cannot be trusted? Later, you found out that you were right. Or did you ever had a feeling, you should not take a particular way to work, so you took another way, only to find out later you were spared a two hours being stuck in traffic? This was your intuition warning you in advance. But, of course, you also have a good, intuitive feelings. You meet somebody new and you feel good in their presence. Ten years later, you are still great friends. Or you have a feeling, there is an opportunity of a lifetime heading your way. You feel good about it, no matter what others say. In a few weeks, you land a job of your dreams. Intuition is a wonderful gift that comes from our souls. It can be trusted. Intuition is the link between your physical self and your soul. The human mind always seeks for logic in all, your intuition always knows! You can fully trust it.

Next week, I will give you a list of my favourite ways to strengthen your intuition. By listening and acknowledging your intuition, you can create a wonderful co-operation that can serve you in a great way your entire life.
