Intuition and Your Highest Self

Meeting and getting to know your intuition: 

Think of a time when your intuition was loud and clear to you. Write it out.

When you heard it speak, did you listen or not?

What happened?

In hindsight, how did it speak to you? What did it feel like?

Don't worry. This may bring up the gremlin that tells you you'll never figure out how to listen to your intuition. That means you're getting close;)

Share with us the story of hearing your intuition and whether or not you listened to it in the Facebook group.

Today's lesson is about getting more clear with your intuition.

What do you want to ask your intuition? What do you want to get clear on?

Perhaps you'd like to ask it to be clearer so you can decipher it from your gremlin.

Maybe you'd like to ask if it sounds different in different situations.

Say what you want to ask your intuition out loud, or write it out.

* Remember what you've learned about differentiating between your gremlin and your intuition: 

You gremlin will usually sound negative, critical, sometimes even aggressive, and comes from a place of fear. The gremlin wants to keep you in the status quo. That's its job!

Your intuition sounds calm, centered, clear, and and knowing. It is confident and doesn't need to shout. Many refer to intuition as "the still, soft voice."

Write down one of your requests to your intuition in the FB group!

Listening to and trusting your intuition gains momentum. In other words, once you acknowledge your intuition and act on it, the next time something comes up, it will speak more clearly to you.

From yesterday's lesson, take the thing you wanted to get clear on and ask your intuition again. Practice engaging with it.

If you meditate or pray, use this time to ask. This allows you to feel how your gut speaks to you.

Does your intuition speak to you as a feeling in your body, a sudden thought or something else? Did it answer differently today? (Let go of any gremlins that come up about that!).

What's one thing you have leaned about your intuition since this week started? Share it in the FB group.

Take a few minutes to remember your Future Self (again, if you haven't done this visualization yet, go back to the video).

How did your Future Self answer the questions during the visualization?

What name do you think she would have if it wasn't your own? If you come up with a name, use it from now on to tap into your Future Self. If you don't have one, refer to her as your Highest Self, Most Wise Self, Most Magnificent Self, or Future Self, or something else that resonates with you. She is you at your best, without your limiting beliefs, without your doubts. She is you in full confidence, wisdom, knowing, and trust. She is joyful and fulfilled. She is you, completely content.

Here's a cool thing about your Future Self: she is a way to access your intuition. Your intuition IS your inner wisdom, which your Future Self, because of her badassery, totally knows how to tap into .

Use this knowledge as an energy source for you to see, feel, and get to know your most Magnificent Self. Have a special journal or beautiful paper of your choice to ask her questions and write down her answers. Draw your Future Self if it inspires you. If you don't draw, write a more detailed description of her. What is her essence? What kind of energy do you get from her?

Another optional project is to make a vision board or art collage of the things you saw in your visualization. Find pictures from the Internet or magazines that capture what you saw. Feel free to add things that didn't show up in the visualization, but that you know are things you want to be a part of your vision. Put whatever you make in a place where you see it often to remind you of your Future Self...of who you are soon to become. 

What's your Magnificent Self's name (if any)?  If you did a Vision Board, please share a photo of it in the FB group!

You get to do more fun Magnificent Self exercises! Today, you can pick one, or do them all. If you'd like, come up with your own too. Enjoy...

• Spend 10 minutes every day this week (but especially today) with your Future/Magnificent Self, having conversations over coffee or tea. Ask her what brings her joy, excitement, tears, bliss.....? Write these experiences down in your Ziji Up! journal if you like.
• Assemble an outfit that has you step into your Future Self. This can be the whole ensemble, or just the accessories;)
• Find a "home" for your Magnificent  Self, perhaps a room in your house. Whenever you need to check in with her, you can excuse yourself to that room.
• Have your Future Self create a vision for the next year: what will happen, what does she want for you, what is the theme for the next year, etc.
• Imagine your Magnificent Self's friends. How are they different from your current friends and family? What are the surprising qualities of these friends?
• Write your Future Self's biography. Revel in how awesome it is!

What new things did you learn about your Magnificent Self so far that may help you with accessing your intuition? We'd love to hear about it in the FB group;)
