The power is within you
In the decision making process, there are aspects that escape consciousness.
In this article I come to talk about something that we all possessWe are born with and we know it is there, but somehow we have forgotten it, kept it in a dusty drawer and locked with the key of oblivion.
It is not your fault that this valuable gift we are born with has been ignored, and surely no one has helped you to use it or develop it in situations where I am sure it would have been of great use to you. But if today you have reached this article, if today you are here reading these words, I can assure you that it is not by chance but by causality.
Beyond words
I would like you to reflect on some situation in your life in which you had to make a decision that was important to you?Do you remember having a feeling that you should not go that way, even though everyone told you otherwise? You don't know how to explain it, but you saw very clearly that this path was not the right one for you at that moment.
Regardless of the decision you finally made, I'm sure you already know what I'm talking about... Yes, about your intuition. your intuition. Something that really can't be explained in words, that we can't analyze with our minds, it surpasses any kind of rational or scientific explanation.
It is rather a feeling, an impulse, a hunch or a sensation that makes you see a certain situation more clearly.
But... What really is intuition in actionable terms for our mind?
Understanding intuition
Intuition is an inner and deep knowledge of our subconscious mind making itself present to guide us in the world. And where is this intuition located in the body? It is located right between your two eyes, right there is an energy center that is called "Ajna" in the Sanskrit language (also known as the third eye) and is related to intuition, imagination, visualization and higher vision. And how can we connect with this powerful energy center? For this it is important to be able to calm that noisy mindThat mind that never stops judging you, that ego that always reminds you that you are not good enough, that you are not capable and that you are not going to achieve anything in your life.
But to calm the noisy mind we must stop, close our eyes and be able to observe and accept those thoughts without identifying with them. And we must repeat this process daily, so that one day we can go beyond the ego and connect with our inner body and simply listen to what it wants to tell us.
It is not an easy job, in the western society in which we live the focus is always on the external. It seems that the solution to our problems is always outside of us, but this is not really the case.But in reality this is not so.
It may seem that way, but when we look outside for the answers, all we do is put patches and satiate our internal disconnection with things that give us short-term pleasure, but do not really solve the root of the problem.
You can keep putting it off, or you can keep ignoring the signs (but believe me, if you go down that road, the only thing you will achieve is to feel more frustration, Pain and resentment towards life and others). Or you can try the other way; and I'm not going to lie to you, it's not an easy way, but it's totally worth a try. It will be a path that will be a challenge, a questioning of your most deeply held beliefs, a look into the depths of your being through self-knowledge.A look into the deepest part of your being through self-knowledge and that will make you be able to connect with yourself and with that intuition that has always been there.
Although it is true that only you have the answers to what you are looking for, it is also true that it is much easier and more bearable to carry out this type of process with the guidance and support of a therapist or coach who will serve as a vehicle to make you see more clearly what you find so hard to see. In these processes we always work from the inside outWe are able to understand that our reality is a reflection of our inner self and that when we do the work of looking inside and integrating processes, then we will be able to change our perspective and live a much more fulfilling and self-aware life.
I hope that after reading this article you have been able to integrate more clearly how our intuition works and that you are able to identify it so that you can make better decisions in your life. And remember that the power is within you.
