In today’s episode of “Healing From Within” your host Sheryl Glick author of The Living Spirit a story of spiritual awakening, spiritual communication, healing energy and a guide to your soul’s destiny is delighted to welcome Dr. Lisa K author of Intuition on Demand and if you ever wanted your intuition to kick in and get more detailed, clearer information to help you make better choices, today we will show you how to begin to trust your inner guidance system.
Guests of “Healing From Within” share life experiences and insights into the metaphysical world in order to discern how what appears to be a duality of life: our physical and soul essence are actually always unified in oneness. In today’s episode Dr. Lisa K who holds degrees in Electrical Engineering from Columbia University, Psychobiology from the State University of New York and a PhD in Metaphysical Sciences while also certified in many energy healing and intuition modalities will help you find develop and fine-tune your intuition so you can begin to find the right answers to important questions and to reprogram your thinking, with practical intuition exercises and more.
Lisa begins by telling us that as a child she was very curious and asked her father lots of questions about who we are and where do we come from.
She says she was not psychic or extremely aware as a child, but Sheryl suggests her inspiration to ask such sensitive questions came from a source outside herself, perhaps souls or guides or the divine force of life. In a dream her son Chris had of her being taken away in an ambulance, very ill, she reassured him she was alright. Then four years later what he had dreamed actually happened. Intuition is a sense of knowing without logically thinking it through and this intuitive thought came in through a dream which is for many of us a great source of downloading helpful guidance from Spirit. Sheryl likes to think our guides are always around us and whisper in our ears to help us avoid certain calamities if it is not advantageous to our soul life plan, but, still they cannot protect us from those challenges we are destined to experience …Therefore we all are hearing the angels, but only some of us know it,
Intuition is the ability to understand something immediately without conscious reasoning or knowing…knowing, without knowing how we know it. Most often the source of intuitive knowledge is seen as coming from one of two places. One perspective is the source of intuition is a subconscious process that produces internal information you’ve experienced, gathered processed at some point and perhaps forgotten, that is not conscious. The other perspective is it is information that comes from mystical sources, outside of you such as from your higher self, angels spirit guides divine consciousness.
Sheryl says…”I believe it is both just as the seemingly duality of life, or our soul /heart presence is part of our being as is our ego or physical reality. There really is no duality or separation, but the mind or ego due to the physical challenges of a three dimensional life fosters that belief of separation because it cannot conceive that we are simply energy or spiritual beings having a physical life in order to grow and refine our feelings of compassion and love.”
In her book The Living Spirit she gives an example of how we receive definitive intuitive help and she wrote, “One day as I was driving to my office, a quick definitive thought came in and said, “Pick up the Birthday cake!” I realized it was my responsibility to get Caroline’s birthday cake as I had promised. I changed direction and quickly went to the bakery. These souls who whisper to us may be part of this continuum of Divine energy or God and are all working together as our guides teachers and guardian angels. Change and growth occur within the mind and physical body and also within the evolution of the soul or energy body. Growing our physical and spiritual aspects equally in alignment to universal energy is one pathway to fulfilling one’s destiny.” Sheryl says We all have guides and angels working with us while in this physical life and they are the whispers of spirit that are our Intuition or inner wisdom to help us navigate life and fulfill our promises or life plan.
Lisa K goes on to tell us…Therefore…..”Improving your ability to work with your intuition and developing intuition skills are the basis for becoming a highly skilled psychic. Intuition can give you information that would seem psychic. The best psychic and intuitive is someone who receives messages from a divine source, which could be considered the Universe and its Creator. One thing psychology does acknowledge is intuition does exist and everyone is intuitive: there are no exceptions. Regardless of whether it comes from within or outside of you if you can harness its power and increase its effectiveness to help make better decisions and create a better life that you desire then it can be done.
Intuition is not guessing: it is not deduction: it is not figuring it out. Intuition is also not always knowledge that we have from accumulated experience Intuition is not thinking but has very clear characteristics that parallel the way the right hemisphere of our brain works. You could say that this right side of our brain is the intuitive side.
Lisa gives us her way of relating to the 10 secrets to intuition and how to recognize it as follows:
- Be Relaxed and Be Open
- No Figuring it Out. No Judging the Answer
- Fragments and Symbols
- Signs Outside of You
- Believing=Power
- Outside Tools
- Trigger Your Intuition by Asking
- You Get What You Get and You Don’t Get Upset
- Ask for Clarity
- Where’s the Bathroom?
First you have to understand the steps to developing your intuition. There are 5 steps to developing your intuition from
- In the beginning to know intuition from logical thought by following your gut feeling.
- Beginners intuition where you try to pay more attention to the messages such as coincidences or synchronicity.
- Intermediate Intuition Where you try to find ways to learn skills or tools to develop your practice.
- Advanced Intuition where you practice technique and methods as your abilities increase to have a set pattern or practice.
- A State of Being You now have the Intuitive Mind and live the Intuitive Life.
In step 5 A State of Being or even before that you will know and trust and value your intuition or inner wisdom, and it will become like second nature to you Lisa writes, “There are lots of stories about people who are saints that have extraordinary psychic powers ( Joan of Arc comes to mind) Both Eastern and Western religions have stories of enlightened saints being connected to divine intuitive knowledge. This is the path of where we all can be in this lifetime. Perhaps you don’t become a Saint, but you will and can be more aware of “All that Is,” God and Your Creator and connected to the Universe. That is the enlightened intuitive life.”
Intuition is the language of the intuitive part of your brain which speaks in pieces of images, a word or two sounds thoughts feelings and symbols. More importantly this intuition language presents information in a way that is different than your thinking mind,…Recognizing the characteristics of intuitive messages is also key to distinguishing them from your thinking and judging mind. This awareness of personal thoughts as opposed to messages swifty and decisively coming in is how you begin to know whether it is a real intuitive message or you’re just making it up.
The way to strengthen the “intuitive muscle.” and to develop intuition on demand focuses on
A Ask a Question
B Be Open
C Collect and Receive
D Do It Again
P Practice- Practice- Practice
Sheryl says I was always sensitive and sometimes aware of things before they happened but never thought it unusual as I assumed everyone was the same way…After a dream 24 years ago when I sensed my grandfather telling me to write something for my father and though unable to see him or quite hear him, but just knew in my mind what he was saying…” You have to write something for your father.” The next day I received a call from my mother telling me my dad had passed and I wrote his eulogy…though I was not aware of exactly what had transpired the night before. A few years later through an intuitive thought to read a book by a physic medium that my daughter represented, I soon discovered the difference between a spiritual visitation and a dream. Now that I knew my grandfathers spirit had visited me to help me deal with the passing of my Dad, I wanted to know where he lived and how communication with other souls or Spirit was possible..Asking this question led me to teachers, events and experiences that helped me to study Reiki energy healing techniques and I began to download information or messages for clients. Meditation groups helped me to refine this process and to trust, allow and accept the messages learning never to put my own spin or interpretation on them. Just accept what you get and give it like you receive it was what a mentor Rev. Robert Brown from England always said to me.
Lisa suggests we learn to make our intuition consistent by not allowing the ego to get in the way and drowning out the message. An intuitive message can get lost in the thought confusion. To avoid this you simply have to quiet your thinking mind, but you don’t have to be in a specific state or go into meditation… Be Open and trigger your intuition with a question and you’ll be able to receive consistently and clearly what your intuition is telling you.
Lisa tells us our brain is uniquely set up and designed for intuition.
Lisa wrote, “The human mind is extremely complex and so is the human brain. The study of the brain and how it functions gives us some clues about how our minds work. Both science and psychology still have much to figure out about intuition even though there has been a large amount of scientific research that has statistically proven the existence of psychic ability.”
Sheryl interviewed Morrie Ackerman who co-authored a book with Dr Gary Schwartz who has spent the last 20 years or more at The University of Arizona where he and his team have studied many techniques to measure and analyze psychic spiritual energies and in their book An Atheist in Heaven give very specific stories of messages from a departed colleague Morrie Ackerman who was an athetist, and they share the science behind their belief that the messages really were from him.. Sheryl ….I myself am completing a new book New Life Awaits-Hospice Miracles Afterlife Healing Disease/ Injustice where as an intuitive Reiki Master energy practitioner and medium share stories that will help those sitting on the fence about whether something exists beyond this physical life or not, to know beyond a doubt, that we are spiritual beings having a physical life to gather experiences that improve our eternal soul energy and the Universe.
Sheryl says, “I have interviewed many psychics, healers, psychologists, scientists, metaphysician and so on who share their view that the mind is the collective energetic Universe where all thought , soul remembrances, actions and lives are continuous, as energy cannot be destroyed, and there is no past present or future, just energy swirling simultaneously. Sensitive people who develop their intuition can retrieve information from this field of unified life. Most people would seek to know more about intuition when perhaps they have experienced either a dream, a loss of job or love, or home or a person in their life passes. The brain is hardwired to imagine and want to know the mysteries of life and often serious situations awaken this part of our soul being or intuitive nature.
The ultimate goal and benefit of developing and enhancing your intuition is to learn about the true nature of energy and to understand yourself and your human and also divine nature.
It appears that the experience and understanding that monks and other spiritual masters attain through the quest to become enlightened through meditation and other spiritual practices which may work to quiet the left hemisphere and Ego chatter is the ability towards natural intuitive psychic abilities and being one with God and the ability to connect to All that Is or God.
Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor in her book ‘ My Stroke of Insight,” gives an account of what the right hemisphere of the brain is actually processing when the left side goes dormant. Dr. Taylor a neuroscientist experienced a stroke in her left hemisphere and allowed the right hemisphere to become more conscious. She describes the sense of oneness with everything, of being conscious of everything around her but no longer having the mental chatter in her mind. She not only experienced the feeling of being “One with the Universe” but understood it in an ineffable(indescribable too great or extreme to express in words)
Lisa tell us one of her own vivid times of intuition and being aware. She was in a food store and was just ready to pick up a package of sushi and someone standing next to her picked it up first…She had a thought…”Wait she will put it back” and that was exactly what transpired.
Another story she gives was of Steven and Sandy who had just broken up and she was worried about him so Sandy called David another friend who went out looking for him. Steven was found and helped, but the next day talking to Sandy Lisa asked her if he had been two steps above him when she was talking to him and was the stairwell grey with a dark grey railing…Sandy said yes. Lisa had seen this in my dream struggling with the break-up…
Sheryl says Highly intuitive people have this all the time about people in their lives either past or present as our energy is connected to all and there really is no time and space just experience learning to love and be more compassionate and understand our soul Being in a more gracious way
In summarizing today’s episode of “Healing From Within” Lisa K and Sheryl have shared a look at the values, benefits and purpose of Intuition to expand and explore a creative life journey improving health, relationships and our connection to Universal Source.
Most of us are trained to look to others to give us solutions for how we should function perceive ourselves and the world and early on forget to rely on this great gift of intuition or inner knowing that we all have. Gathering information from within and outside of you using both logic and your creative Intuition is a clear path to better choices health and life. As Lisa wrote, “There are fantastic intuitive solutions that are carved out especially for you that nothing can compare with, residing inside a part of your mind that most people don’t access. That part of your mind is a function of your brain that has connections to vast unseen knowledge. When you access those solutions and that knowledge, magical and amazing things can happen just for you, to do with what you wish. How awesome is that?
Lisa and Sheryl would have you remember a time when you thought of a friend and then the phone rang, or asked a question and then saw the answer in the newspaper, or a person walking by you responded with just the answer you were looking for. Many would call that a coincidence but there are no coincidences and life is not random. We are connected to a Universal energetic force of life and in accessing that source through intuition we open up a dialogue of unlimited potential and love…Be open and listen.
