As an intuitive, people ask me how I do what I do. Often I will know information about people and their animals that they never told me. How does it work? How do I do that?

Like anything we learn in life it is a skill that is practiced. The key is to begin understanding the difference between the ego-mind and the little voice that is your truth. In fact I prefer to call intuition - a connection to your truth. Because if you are in your truth you will begin to see the truth of the other person and if you live in your truth you cannot make decisions that are not for your best and higher good and that of the person(s) with whom you are close to. It is when we fall from grace, literally, that we fall into the abyss of our demons and this creates all sorts of upheaval. It is living in the shadow. I tell people that the shadow is the part of us that holds the darkest secrets of our beingness. What we don't want to reveal even to ourselves because it may feel uncomfortable.

The shadow is a part of all of us and by looking at it head on is the key to creating more wholeness and light so running away from our shadow creates more discomfort and lack of flow. It brings us further from our own truth. Living there is not what we are meant to do.

When things go wrong and you are deeply hurt by life events or people who have disappointed you, know that this suffering brings to light part of your shadow side as it does theirs. If they are emotionally mature they will admit that and will seek to understand, work through and ultimately release the old to make space for the new. This is true for you as well. If their care for you is deep enough they will show compassion for your and their processing and discovery. If they do not they are not meeting their truth - they are stuck in the ego and the shadow will remain intact with little growth.

What has all this to do with discovering your truth connection?

The more you understand what is your programming (physical, mental, emotional) and the more you do not force things in one direction or the other the more you will free up the mind to hear. Hear that little voice connecting you to your truth. Through the shadow you have quiet comtemplation. Quiet contemplation allows the recesses of the monkey mind to subside and for the small voice of truth to emerge. It may be faint but it is there. Sometimes you may have an epiphany and know something or hear something clearly but do not understand where it came from. Heed for the little voice will only get louder if you heed. Do not dismiss these experiences. Like a muscle the more you allow for them to come into your sphere of existence they will become a part of you that you cannot deny.

So before you dismiss that little feeling, that little voice, that little inkling, stop, take a breathe and do not expect anything. Just be. The truth is revealing all by itself.

There is more to you than the physical, emotional and mental which forms the materialist view point of life. The expanded view rests in the knowledge that the material is a mere vehicle towards a more evolved version of who you are.
