Intuition Simplifies
Your Life
by Darlene Pitts
"Check the menu before ordering," my inner voice whispered. I glanced at
the menu board of a fast food restaurant and noticed the menu numbering differed
from other franchises in the area. If I hadn't listened to my inner voice, I would
have ordered the wrong meal from memory and blamed it on the order taker. My inner
voice -- my intuition -- warned me to prevent an argument.
Everyone has intuition -- an inherent ability to obtain information about people,
places, things and situations without using logic, five physical senses or prior
knowledge. Logic examines facts, which can be manipulated, erroneous or missing.
Physical senses can be deceived by outer appearances, firm handshakes and polite
conversations. Prior knowledge can be outdated, invalid or irrelevant. Intuition
communicates the truth -- anytime and anywhere.
Intuition communicates intuitive messages containing images, feelings, sensations,
sounds, knowings, tastes, scents and sayings to simplify your life. Has an image
flashed across your mind's eye to take another highway to reach your destination?
Intuition saves you time by informing you of traffic incidents, road hazards or police
speed traps up ahead. Have you met someone and felt good or bad vibes in the pit
of your stomach? Intuition provides insights into people's personalities so you can
decide whether or not to associate with them. Has an idea popped in your head and
you knew it was a profitable invention? Intuition increases finances, if you're the
first to patent and sell the idea. Have you shopped in a grocery store and experienced
a harsh taste in your mouth, though the product you picked up looked and smelled
fresh? Intuition protects your health and reduces doctor visits by warning you about
food contamination.
I knew a friend would ask me for a favor a week before she did. I told her after
she asked me. She couldn't figure out how I knew, because she hadn't made up her
mind until that day. Intuition communicates finalities -- the truth -- no matter
how many times someone changes their mind. Intuition removed the surprise factor,
so I had time to weigh if I'd do the favor, which I did.
Notice how your intuition daily communicates intuitive messages to you to simplify
your life. Do warning images flash, pause or roll like a motion picture across your
mind's eye or "out in space" when danger lurks? Does calmness or excitement
envelop your body when you're on the right track in achieving a goal? Have you heard
songs in your head, then turned on the radio and heard the same songs harmonizing
solutions for situations you're going through? Do you just know everything will be
all right in the midst of turmoil? Do intuitive tastes or scents encourage or discourage
you when making financial investments or major purchases? Has your inner voice told
you to drink water when you didn't feel thirsty or take a break when you've pushed
to meet a work deadline? The list of intuitive experiences is endless.
I recall hearing a weather report predicting a paralyzing snowstorm to hit the Washington,
D.C., area one winter. Normally, I ignored meteorologists because their predictions
felt empty and never happened. That day, I felt certain within my bones the meteorologists
finally got it right and stayed at home. The snow fell for hours and stranded travelers
for days.
You can choose to ignore your intuition and live by your logic, physical senses or
prior knowledge. Or, you can listen to your intuition and enjoy a simpler life.
