Megan,
Love the you followed your guidance to check yesterday’s post and thus experienced affirmation and encouragement – just like your guidance wanted to gift you!

James,
So right that there is so much power being ourselves in the moment and being present in the moment!

Jenn,
Great example of how the little things do matter in making our life flow more easily!

You are all ramping it up!

dear Audrey
lovely insightful post. I listen in more carefully now than I used to. LIttle voice is always right on, even about taking sunglasses with me even when it’s cloudy. There’s the sun, whaddyaknow. It advises me constantly, am learning to turn up volume on inner wisdom, turn down self-doubt. Don’t second guess. Intuition brings responsibility, sure, but it is teaching me that I already know the answers to my questions, just sit with it a bit and it comes louder and clearer. Enjoying Pink Posts!

Fabulous post Audrey! And this guidance that is open to all of us is also empowerment open to all of us. I was thinking how this relates to a previous post on Owning Pink regarding meditating in your own way, and that we all have access to Enlightenment, to Healing Power, to Divine Sight, to all the wonderful gifts we marvel at in others, but we constantly dwell in our expectations instead of in our actual experience. If we let go of expectations and were just ourselves, in the moment, so much magic would be present we couldn’t help but feel astonished joy! When we really relax into ourselves and our own perceptions, then it seems almost everything we experience contains meaning and information, everything we do contains power and purpose. And I agree, it can be a bummer when the guidance is what we DON’T want to hear, but when you think about it, if there is something we don’t want to hear it’s because we know that what we don’t want is what’s right, and we are hoping to avoid that… we already know the outcome, just are fighting it still… so better to have it pointed out and help us get through it faster and easier.

Such great information here!!!

It’s so interesting. I logged in this (Monday) morning and read this post even though it was posted yesterday.

I have been having relationship issues and this post pointed out that this thing that occurred last night was not just a coincidence, it was a gift from God, making my situation easier.

I would have completely dismissed it had I not read this post. Thank you Audrey.

I have to share the dream I had last night, since my intuition seems to show up as images in dreams a lot. Last night’s image was very vivid. It was a huge, glowing hand-woven basket, the size of a house. The woven willow branches criss-crossed each other in opposite directions. In one direction, there were healers. In the other, those in need of healing. In the center of the basket was a person, and the basket was suspended from a golden string suspending the basket like a hot air balloon. When the breeze blew, the basket would rock, and the person within it would be embraced, loved, lulled to serenity.

I’m not exactly sure what it is, but I have a feeling it has something to do with Owning Pink….

Intuition acts in funny ways…
Listening,
Lissa

Leslee,

Not only are our bodies a major channel for intuitive knowing, but they definitely let us know when they want a walk, to slow down, or just not to have that fifth Fudgesicle.

Thank you for the perfect example about the frogs. This is exactly what today’s post is about and you nailed it. Your friend is too busy looking at your signs to see her own. Hmmmm – not worthy? Not “good enough” signs?

Celebrating your frog friend connection!

Audrey,

Thanks you for this post. I feel like I’ve been ignoring my intuition a lot over the past weeks. My body has certainly been letting me know when I am not making good use of my time, yet I haven’t initiated a change in my activities.

On another note I wanted to share a situation similar to the one you wrote about. One of my best friends passed away almost a month ago. I have gotten a lot of “signs” from her, particularly frogs. She loved frogs and I now see them everywhere -real frogs, toy frogs, decorative frog. A couple of weeks ago another friend called crying, telling me how she hasn’t gotten any “signs”. She said she wants to see frogs too, but she hasn’t, not a one. Then she goes on to tell me that every time she does a search in her email inbox this one particular email from Amy pops up, even when it doesn’t relate to the search. THAT is her sign and she doesn’t even realize it b/c she’s too busy looking for frogs.

Thanks again!

Lissa,

Unfortunately you are so correct! We do cause ourselves needless hardship when we don’t follow our clues to an easier path. Our souls are genius, genius women! Kim is right when she said it makes our lives better. Our intuition guides us to what we need and what is best for us. It’s our best friend and as Kim mentioned, it’s a part of who we are. It’s our inherent Divine essence. Breathe it in and allow it to do what it does best! Our internal guidance system does not want us to suffer, it wants us to be free!

Hey – doesn’t mean that each step feels like bon bon land. I was guided to move somewhere years ago that ended up being the toughest most gut wrenching five years of my life. The move itself wasn’t a mistake, although I will tell you that my time there would have been easier had I listed to guidance along the way. Anyway, as a direct result, and after deciding to finally follow my guidance, I am living out more of my fullness than ever.

Lissa – we cheer you on and support you as you garner the courage to act on what you may not want to hear right now.

Key point – acting on your intuition takes COURAGE and Kim is correct – it’s a matter of choice. Just remember, our own knowing goes beyond the ego and the limits of the ego. Intuition knows of possibilities that aren’t even on our radar yet.

Love to you all – Audrey

Wonderful post Audrey. We all have the gift of intuition and we all receive guidance from The Divine. We also have the free will to listen or not. I’ve learned so much about intuition and connection to The Divine over the past few years and when the light bulb comes on and I “get it” after while, I realize that I knew it all along, it just needed to be brought to the front of my consciousness. Intuition feels so natural now and just another part of who I am. Intuition is makes life better.

Audrey,
I think your post is a sign from the Universe for me. Three years ago, I was still ignoring the signs from the Universe. It’s not that I wasn’t receiving guidance. In retrospect, I can see many ways that I received guidance- and chose not to listen to it. That’s when the suffering begins, eh?

Now, I am very tuned into the ways in which I receive guidance- through dreams, “coincidences” that happen just as I’m trying to make a decision, people that show up on my path right when I need them, even magical signs like the bright light out in the ocean and a shooting star that appeared and literally pointed the way for me. They arrive as hunches, as a feeling of plunking into rightness, and peaceful feelings. Sometimes they arrive to thwack me on the head (that’s when I’m not listening to the whispers from the Universe, so the Universe has to scream bloody murder to be heard). Lately, I’ve been receiving guidance I don’t want to hear. But it’s very obvious guidance, nonetheless. I know I must listen, and yet, this brings with it a bit of sadness. While I must sit in the sadness for a while, I know that I am being guided to something even better…

Thanks for this lovely post, sweetie.
Deep bow,
Lissa
