Judith Orloff highlights 5 points which each of us can use to move beyond the limits of linear thought. Rather than just following the status quo, it makes sense to consider what feels right, what resonates with you. Take in what's meaningful. Discard the rest.
1) Notice your beliefs- People engage in intuitive healing for varied reasons. We aren't always aware of our beliefs. We don't always grasp how we act to heal ourselves and others (or we resist). To discern your beliefs and set issues aside, enables you to help others, and gain new life perspective. To master beliefs requires transcending ego. As you do your best to assist others learn their beliefs, you strengthen intuition. Moving ahead means you feel good to encourage, empower and support, without taking credit.
2) Be in your body- Your intuitive experience guides you even when you're unaware. Intuition is emotionless information which invites you to value where you are on a learning curve right now. As you open your intuition, you open yourself to new dimensions and views. If you get spontaneous intuition, you need to ask yourself whether its appropriate to share what you see. Accurate feedback may reinforce the truth of your feelings or vibes, but you don't always have to do anything about them.
3) Sense your body's subtle energies- Are you tuning into your physical body? Its unwise to go about your life intending to heal the whole world. That would be ego-driven and could be intrusive. Helping everyone and everything is not respectful. Intuition is about picking up what is most accurate about someone. Its like striking a chord, learning to trust yourself. You learn when and where to open your mouth. Its the art of diplomacy. Having expectations will distort the information you seek from your intution.
4) Ask for inner guidance-This requires you get into a receptive mode and abandon analytical thinking. You may close your eyes, go inward. You can ask your intuition specific questions and wait. You can learn to tune in and depend on your own inner voice. Use the information you get wisely and sensitively. If you don't get good vibes about sharing it, then don't. Keep quiet. You control the speed of incoming energy flow.
5) Learn to listen to your dreams- The non-linear, logical mind is out-of-the-way while you sleep. This permits you to receive an influx of symbols and events without ego interference. If you choose, they can actually help to ground you. Through practice, you can learn to identify how dreams shape your intuition, from areas of healing and general guidance, to premonitions and emotional issues worth attention. Even teachers learn.
