Intuition

May the wings of visions flutter softly,

And may your Spirit perceive their message.....Mary Summer Rain

Now there's the challenge...how often have I asked for a sign, a vision, and felt like I've received nothing?
Have you ever had a thought from out of the blue or made some offhand statement and before you know it, it's happened!
So what's the difference, how come my most fervent request seems to get lost in the ethers and yet some random thought just happens and without any conscious effort!
I've decided that the former is conditional, that I make the request but I have a definite expectation of how I want that to happen, I have a strong attachement to it as opposed to that other random thought that passes through my mind without any further conscious thought.

And how do I expect to receive that answer to my request for guidance....am I open to receiving it in an ordinary and everyday way such as through a conversation with someone I might meet in the street, or in a magazine I might pick up somewhere like the Doctors or whilst I'm watching a movie or tv program or do I wait for that unlikely bolt out of the blue, a flash of  genius that I'm quite likely to miss entirely anyway....or during meditation..now that's always wishful thinking on my part...I can barely still my monkey mind long enough to actually relax let alone receive guidance from my Spirit guides or helpers.

There was a time when I consciously sat in silence, was involved with spiritual groups and actively practiced working with Spirit and I miss that.

I often become swept up in my lifestyle, not making time to be still and listen to that wise voice within, the voice of intuition that never lets me down.

When I reflect on my life I know that when I've listened to my intuition, been open to receiving it's messages of guidance, my life is richer, I have more confidence in the decisions I make and with that comes a trust that all is well in my world regardless of the outcome....I can trust because I have sourced my answers from the well within...I have sought council from my wiser self, my intuitive self...the self that has all the answers that I need if only I take the time to listen.

Note to self, take the time to be still every day, rush less, be open and aware of the beauty that is all around me.

On my morning walk I be more aware of those things that capture the attention of the many tourists that meander along the boardwalk with their cameras..... birds, vibrant flowers, a captivating sunrise or sunset, the still waters that sparkle in the sunshine, crabs scurrying about the shimmering mud flats.
 
Beauty is all around and I will take more time to enjoy, to soak it up in abundance and to give thanks for once again being aware that I too can capture the visions that softly flutter by and allow them to enhance my life.
