They call intuition a sixth sense. Understanding your gut feeling meaning shows that it is as essential to our joy and survival as seeing, touching, or hearing.
If you didn’t have intuition, you wouldn’t be here now, reading this blog post. Perhaps you would have been eaten by a crocodile, fallen down a rabbit hole, or succumbed to something equally rash and dangerous. Your gut feeling meaning is active all the time, subtly guiding you toward safety, opportunity, and alignment – even when you aren’t consciously aware of it.
You may think it is logic alone that keeps you making good decisions. But your intuition is active 24/7 in subtle and profound ways. For instance, we are not aware of pheromones affecting our behavior because we can’t smell them, but they still influence everything we do (and sometimes make folks act a little crazy :)).
I use my intuition every day in every way. It is not only used in my personal day-to-day life; it’s also what I use in my profession to help people. In fact, I help thousands of people using this gift. Every day, I receive emails from clients telling me how much our one little hour together changed their life for the better. Understanding gut feeling meaning has allowed me to share this gift in a way that truly serves others. It’s both a gift and a blessing.
And yet, why is it that every time someone asks me what I do for a living, I feel a little uncomfortable? Sure, we can harken it back to some past life where I was accused of being a witch, but the feeling I have is very real right now. Somehow, I still experience pangs of fear and even embarrassment about what I do.
Oh yes, people are nice most of the time. In fact, mostly they are intrigued. They find me to be a novelty, like I work in the circus as a flame thrower or contortionist. Or I can tell they’re trying to be polite, when in fact they think I’m totally deluded.
And just like people will say, “Some of my best friends are…,” they’ll say to me, “I believe in intuition,” as if intuition is something someone invented. How can you not “believe” in intuition? That’s like not believing in hearing, seeing, or smelling. When you truly understand gut feeling meaning, intuition becomes an undeniable part of being human.
These are nice people. There are also others who feel that using your intuition – your sixth sense, which is essential for your well-being and survival – is somehow wrong. Some friends of mine don’t want others to know that they practice and study intuition because they fear being ostracized.
I once hid my own interest out of fear that my office coworkers wouldn’t understand or would ridicule me. I became so deeply hidden that I didn’t see any way out.
Thankfully, I found my way out of the closet! I had an epiphany. I realized that the more comfortable I am with who I am, the more other people would be too. And that’s when my life turned around. I “put myself out there”.
If someone had a problem judging me for who I was, it was THEIR problem, not mine. I have nothing to be ashamed of. I help people! As difficult as it was, if they judged me, I maintained my love and belief in myself and didn’t take it personally. How sad for them that they were only utilizing five senses instead of six! I needed to have compassion for them instead of fear.
By doing this, I began to gain more confidence in myself personally and professionally. My life and business flourished!
The same can happen for you. Are you expressing who you fully are in the world? Are you being totally authentic to yourself, or are you making safe choices that you think are more secure or socially acceptable?
It’s a Universal law that your external world is a mirror for how you treat yourself. If you believe and accept yourself, because you are intuitively honoring your true nature, you will be supported by the external world and we will celebrate you for it!
So what are you waiting for? Your intuition is your greatest gift to realize your life’s potential. So get your psychic groove on! Honor it, listen to it, don’t be afraid of it ‘cuz it won’t bite you. And let the world know you are living large with all sixth senses! Shine on you crazy diamond.
