There is a source of wisdom deeper than the conscious mind that is much more consistent and accurate, but we need space and quiet to hear it.

Intuition is not the preserve of a few chosen people but is available to anyone who would take the time to slow down and learn to be with themselves in quiet, so you can hear.

We have been conditioned for constant stimulation, so we are uncomfortable with silence; it feels like a void that needs to be filled.

Silence creates the opportunity to connect with the parts of yourself that have previously been denied your attention. It is an opportunity to know yourself better.

Intuition gives us the opportunity to be prepared for events that transcend our conscious mind in service of us and others. If we trust and follow its direction, even if it appears not to make sense, we make room for synchronicity.

The voice of intuition is gentle and subtle, so its significance and importance could be easily missed. It can also be ignored when we are uncomfortable with the wisdom it brings.

How do you recognise the voice of intuition?

Self-Awareness is the foundation of transformation. It is a mystery what finally triggers us into a place where we are ready to hear an uncomfortable truth that holds the key to our transformation.

When we are ready, we allow that truth into our awareness and the transformation begins.

When you become aware that you are not your mind, you are able to get curious about what it is up to and recognise that you can become the witness on the river bank watching all the thoughts going by without engaging with those that have the potential to take you into a negative state.

You will have a more pleasant experience of life when you are more discerning of which kinds of thought patterns serve you. This allows your innate joy and peace to manifest in your experience.

Becoming aware that you are not your mind give you the SPACE to take the place of the witness on the riverbank and exercise discernment on what to engage with and what value that would bring to your quality of life as well as the agency of choice to just observe and not jump in the river of unhelpful thoughts.

Observing our thoughts with judgement or resistance does not engage the nervous system into a response to stimuli that only exist in the world of thought.

If we believe the thoughts as real, we experience the energy aligned with the mind created thoughts. We have jumped into the river of thought and got wet. This is the root of needless suffering. This awareness and practice will drastically improve your quality of life.

How can you increase your sense of awareness that you are not your mind?

We have physical boundaries that define our individuality that create the illusion that we are a single self, but we are in essence also part of a collective self.

The body is a perfect metaphor of how individual parts have specialist functions and it takes all of them working together for the body to function effectively and achieve outcome way beyond what each one could.

Each person with their gifts and way of being are part of a larger whole can work together to contribute their efforts and uniqueness to achieve exponential outcomes relative to what one person could.

Unity is not uniformity. Uniformity is often detrimental to the output of the whole as it weakens the diversity required to ensure all bases are covered and all perspectives taken into consideration to make the outcome more robust.

We need diversity of function pulling in the same direction for a common purpose.

Alignment and and misalignment can be detected as energy exchange between people. Aligned energy lifts people and misaligned energy drains.

In what ways can you better leverage your unique gifts?

The mind often classifies repetitive tasks that are within our comfort zone of competence as mundane and finds creative ways to avoid such tasks.

We can however reframe these into magical moments by being fully present to the subtle differences of every instance and being grateful for the vitality and ability to do them.

Mundane or magical is not a feature of the activity but a mind created perception of that which it has taken for granted or choosing to celebrate respectively.

When we recognise that we are experiencing something as boring or mundane, we can take the seat of the witness and become aware of how our mind has discounted that activity. When we slow down and become mindful of what is before us, we experience the magic of it.

Creativity is activated in the space where the magic of what is, is experienced. If things seem so mundane, ask the question, "how can this be magical?"
