DAYS 8 & 9 Interpreting Intuition

It’s the weekend and I have a Campfire Womens Workshop on today and a Sacred Gathering tomorrow ~ so I am going to honour my intuition and declare a watchful weekend without posting tomorrow. Anyway, It’s Sacred Sunday tomorrow and we all need a day of rest J

So, gauging the responses here on www.bronwynclee.com/blog and www.gratitudelog.com you are getting into the swing of things regarding mediation, mindfulness, and observing ‘mundane moments’. I love the shift that takes places when we move from seeing life through the mundane lens and into being present in the miracle of each moment!

Rules and regulations we set for ourselves must be reviewed often, as that’s where true liberation takes place. Liberating our heads and hearts from ‘should do’ life lists into self enquiry of ‘does this serve, support, nurture and challenge me’ allows us to make better choices in adopting healthy wholesome lifestyles. LOL In my previous life I would have read this and nodded and agreed and done nothing different… Adopting new ways of Being that enhance our lives and those we love requires desire (how much do we want to embody change) clarity (exactly what is it that we want) and commitment (discipline to do what needs to be done enough to create new habits).

So, in adopting new ways of being, lets build on the use of colour as a contributor to interpreting intuition. For those of you who are familiar with chakras I suggest adding a chakra balance into your daily routine – this can be as brief or as long as you like/need. If you are not familiar with chakras please do a quick google search for Chakra images. Once you have an image of the chakras I encourage you to become familiar with the colours of each chakra and then build awareness of each chakra and it’s colour into your meditation. Using association can often help remember the colours for example, Root chakra = Red (apple), Sacral Chakra = Orange (persimmon), Solar Plexus = Yellow (lemon), Hearth Chakra = Emerald Green  (emerald stone) , Throat chakra = Light Blue (crystal ), Third eye = Dark blue (sapphire) Crown Chakra = violet (crystal)

Please keep up with your daily practices of:

1 5 minute meditations at least twice a day

2 Be more mindful in ‘mundane moments’ and observe your intuition as intelligence ~ shift lens from ‘mundane to miracles’

3 Observe your day to day activities and consider how much of your day to day interactions have a hint of intuition

4 Remember ~ self care ~ self pace ~ self love

Day 7 Interpreting Intuition

Greetings fellow travellers! How very blessed we are to share this sacred space! The sharing of internal dialogue in an emotionally safe space is quite unusual on the www in my experience. I am heartened to hear how you are all travelling and please bear in mind if I do not respond to your post on www.gratitudelog.com it is not because I do not care for what you have written, it is merely because I cannot keep up with them all! I am finding my blog easier to respond to everyone, even though the design remains a work in progress… Our son is still in Wakikki soaking up the surf and sun before heading up to Canada when he will have some more time to help me out with IT stuff.

I have read some very interesting info lately and am always open to more! Intuition is a fascinating topic and like most things, once we focus time and energy into, we see/hear/sense more and more of it. You might like to try this old ‘observation test’ of focusing on a colour for about five minutes in your mind’s eye – see the colour, taste food of that colour, smell things of that colour, touch things in that colour – all in your mind’s eye, then for the next 24 hours observe how many things you notice in that colour.

As you practice your meditations become more familiar way with techniques that work for you. Like Josh said, mediation can’t be forced. Some of the techniques that work for me can be as simple as listening to the birds, gazing at a sunset, watching bamboo sway in the breeze, observing steam rise from piping hot roasted lotus green tea, waves lapping the beach, stars twinkling at night, getting lost in wordless music, candle gazing, cloud painting, watching the breathe, alternate nostril breathing, yoga, or being carried away by guided meditations. Anything that stills the mind and allows the whole body to relax, be present and BE in the moment is meditation in my view. I had an old swami for years who would lecture me on how I needed to be more disciplined and needed to set aside an hour each morning and night to meditate. I never did pull that off in those early years, try as I might, I couldn’t get the kids, the dog, the neighbours, the world NOISE around me together with my energy to all be in synch for 60 moments in time. It was only when I stopped “trying” to meditate, that I realised that I had already been ‘doing meditation’ without being conscious of it. Being conscious takes it all to a new level!!!!

So if you are reawakening your body’s lust for more quiet, or if you are battling the ‘busy brain/body/burn syndrome’ please consider building into your day more of what truly, madly deeply works for your body mind and soul’s rest and replenishment. For it is in these moments that we create more space to turn up the volume on our intuition.

I am curious to know if you are fascinated with how ‘mundane moments’ no longer seem mundane? And how things you previously missed when on ‘auto pilot’ now have a different vibration or shape/definition? Being conscious and mindful in as many moments possible allows us to unpack and dissect our existence, to find the meaning and relevance that keeps our focus on the here and now. And to give thanks and praise for our past, present and future as it has shaped us into the divine beings we all are. There is true personal power in acknowledging what we have, where we have been and who we are and in doings so, creating the space for who we are yet to become.

Please keep up with your daily practices of:

1 5 minute meditations at least once a day

2 Be more mindful in ‘mundane moments’ and observe your intuition as intelligence

3 Observe your day to day activities and consider how much of your day to day interactions have a hint of intuition

4 Remember ~ self care ~ self pace ~ self love
