Spring is rolling in! What’s it looking like where you are? Tulips? Daffodils? New buds?
Spring always feels exciting to me. Well, all the seasons do, actually…
And when there’s SO much activity, new growth, and re-awakening happening everywhere I look, it’s hard not to feel excited about my own projects and growth, too.
So how do we align this energy with our own inner truth?
One way is by doing an inspiration check.
What the heck is that!?!
First, let’s quickly define intuition.
According to Oxford Languages, intuition is: “the ability to understand something immediately, without the need for conscious reasoning.”
Another way to think about it is connecting to your inner knowing, your guidance, your relationship to spirit.
Now that we know exactly what we’re talking about, let’s pause and do a quick inquiry.
Here are some prompts:
1. How are you connecting to your intuition?
2. Can you name one way or ways that you access this?
3. How might you strengthen this connection?
In truth, our reality is spirit. We are spirit having a human experience. So how can we access more of that?
One way is to create a space – both internally as well as externally- to feel spirit, to invite yourself to more intentionally connect to this.
Obviously, this could be a meditation practice. It could also be an intentional walk, a run, journaling, time to sit and “think.” It could also be a place you visit.
Some people enjoy creating altars and having a designated “sacred” space. Others have a place for creativity to blossom. I was recently reading a memoir about an author who talked about walking down to a dock by the water and sitting there…
How might your life feel different if you did this more easily? What might shift or change?
Activating or awakening our intuition is, in some ways, allowing us to be more balanced between right and left brain hemispheres, between yin and yang, between thinking and feeling… you get the idea.
The invitation here is to play around with this, and find ways that feel welcoming to your system.
Next week, we’ll explore another way to help us tap into this inner knowing.
