Transcript
- 0:00How to trust your intuition and follow your inner compass.
- 0:03Have you ever felt torn between what your head is telling you and what your heart quietly knows?
- 0:10Maybe part of you knows that it's time to leave, change, say no or say yes, but you keep doubting yourself.
- 0:17And the quiet voice inside of you, the one that nudges, not shouts, that's your intuition.
- 0:23And learning to trust it changes everything.
- 0:26So in this video, I'll talk about what intuition really is and what it's not,
- 0:31why we lose connection with it, and how to start listening to your inner compass with confidence.
- 0:38First part, what is intuition? What intuition is and what it's not.
- 0:42Your intuition isn't woo-woo, it's wisdom, embodied, energetic, and deeply human.
- 0:50Intuition is an inner sense of truth that goes beyond logic,
- 0:53A knowing that doesn't come from overthinking.
- 0:57A message from your body, energy and higher awareness.
- 1:01Not your fears and or conditioning.
- 1:04Intuition is not anxiety or catastrophic thoughts or thinking.
- 1:09Or overthinking masked as gut instinct.
- 1:13Intuition is quiet but clear.
- 1:16Fear is loud and frantic.
- 1:19And when you slow down, you can tell the difference.
- 1:21And if you've ever followed that quiet inner nudge and it's turned out exactly to what you needed, then you know what I'm talking about.
- 1:31Why do we struggle to trust our intuition?
- 1:33If you have ever felt disconnected from your intuition, then you're not alone.
- 1:38You probably condition yourself to override it, knowingly or unknowingly, consciously or unconsciously.
- 1:46Here's why it happens.
- 1:47you've taught yourself most likely to seek external validation consciously or unconsciously
- 1:53and you can say from all the external sources from our parents from our teachers from our
- 1:58partners from social media just our external world and over time you've learned to ask what
- 2:04will they think instead of what do i know or feel secondly maybe you've been hurt before
- 2:11so now you doubt your gut maybe you did follow your intuition and what you thought was your
- 2:17and it led to pain. What happened there? Was it really the voice of intuition? And I'll cover this
- 2:23in the next section in a bit more detail. But just because this happened, like it led to pain or
- 2:29something wrong happened, it doesn't mean it was actually wrong. Perhaps it led to growth,
- 2:35growth in disguise. And the third part is you've been too busy to hear it. When I'm in constant
- 2:43motion, movement, busyness, the whispers of intuition gets round up. Intuition isn't missing
- 2:50or lacking or non-existent. It's always there. It's simply just waiting for you to pay attention,
- 2:57for you to tune in, for you to listen in. And three parts to start trusting your inner compass,
- 3:03your intuition. Part one, to slow down so you can hear it, see it, feel it, receive it, the message.
- 3:11Intuition speaks in stillness.
- 3:14And start with conscious movement.
- 3:16So that's actually why in our body of work, there's so much focus.
- 3:19I put so much focus into conscious movement, which is yoga for us.
- 3:23Because yoga is just this, I would say, perfect system of using the body to start to listen in, to feel in.
- 3:33Using deep breath, using conscious movement, start to tune in.
- 3:37and it starts to open up the faculties to clear out what's in the way and you can start to listen
- 3:44in and receive the messages. Intuition also speaks in silence so you know perhaps going out into
- 3:49nature or doing introspective work which is another part of what we do and deep transformational work.
- 3:55A question that might be useful is what is my body trying to tell me right now
- 4:02and this is where the yoga practice really helps if you're moving in a conscious way
- 4:07we're really starting to train ourselves to bypass the noise in the head
- 4:12and really start to listen in and to work out this distinction
- 4:16between the voice of fear and intuition, which I'll talk about more in a second.
- 4:20Second part, practice tiny acts of trust.
- 4:23So don't wait for big decisions. You can start small.
- 4:26If you feel a no in your body, what does that feel like?
- 4:29What is the sensations of no in your body?
- 4:32And if that's the case, listen to that. Don't go.
- 4:34and if you feel a spark then explore it follow it see where it takes you and every time you act on
- 4:41intuition you strengthen your inner trust muscle you're teaching yourself to trust your guidance
- 4:47but my question is how do you know the distinction between the voice of fear and the voice of
- 4:53intuition this is where this work our inner work comes in i would say it's in doing the work so
- 5:00that that which is not you, the voice that's not you, tends to drop away. All parts of the not you
- 5:06tend to fall away and therefore what is left is you or self with a capital S. That means you can
- 5:13start to receive the messages clearly and sometimes loudly, like that voice of intuition, our voice of
- 5:20inner guidance. And you're honing in this skill of discerning and creating this distinction between
- 5:30fear and a voice of guidance, a voice of intuition that's coming from within, a greater place within.
- 5:36So one part is the discernment and then actually just knowing and confidence. So the more you start
- 5:41to practice this, one, you're clearing out that which is not you. And secondly, you're learning
- 5:47to listen to it and trust it. So therefore you build a confidence over time that you're being
- 5:52guided by this voice of intuition, not a voice of fear. And you learn how to trust it. So that's
- 6:00And that's the power of this work, put very briefly.
- 6:03What I call inner work and in our body of work is yoga meditation transformation and healing work.
- 6:10And the third part around trusting inner compass, this is a bit more heady but can be powerful,
- 6:17going back and tracking what happens when you do listen or when you have listened before.
- 6:21So you could say starting a proof list or building yourself proof
- 6:25because the mind generally has a lot of proof on how things can't work
- 6:30enough or how it's not true but you can actually build proof for it to be true so note down the
- 6:36moments when you did trust your gut and it led to alignment and ease and truth and what actually
- 6:42happened there how did it speak to you how did the intuition speak to you what were the sensations
- 6:47in the body how did you receive the messages how did you listen to it or did you listen to it and
- 6:53what happens and maybe you're not imagining it maybe you're just remembering how to listen
- 7:00going through or you're retraining yourself to listen to which voice. And you don't need to trust
- 7:06your intuition perfectly, you just need to be in relationship with it. So start fostering this
- 7:13relationship of trusting and listening to it. And if you're ready to go deeper, then we can talk
- 7:18about where this practice becomes embodied. Intuition is the compass of your soul and
- 7:25And reconnecting with it will change how you work, love, live and lead.
- 7:31Inside Awaken, which is coming up in June, on 20th to 22nd of June, our three-day live virtual program,
- 7:39we do this kind of work where you strip away the noise and rewire the fear patterns.
- 7:44You create space to hear your true voice, your voice of intuition again.
- 7:48And we do embodied practices and techniques that can help you discern your truth from your conditioning,
- 7:55of fear and you build real self-trust from inside out and if you're watching this you can just
- 8:01comment or dm the word awaken and i'll send you the link for the ultra early bird for this awaken
- 8:06coming up on the 20th to the 22nd of june this is a space where your clarity returns not because
- 8:12you're told what to do but because you finally remember what you already know and the closing
- 8:19reflection around this topic is your intuition is not a luxury, I don't believe. It's your guide,
- 8:26it's your protector, it's your truth. When you learn to trust it, even when it's inconvenient,
- 8:31you begin to live a life that feels aligned, peaceful, and powerful.
