Intuition or Deep Wisdom - Is there a difference?
- Jane Booth, BA, CSW, Wellness Facilitator
The concept of intuition is not new to me. I remember when I was young, I would surprise my friends by knowing something about them or having a feeling about something that would occur in the future - it would happen and shock them. Then, I started to look at people’s palms and I could tell certain things about their past, present and future. When I could 'read' a palm, this surprised me as I had not studied palmistry. So I began to explore 'psychic' stuff and soon I knew how to read playing cards. But something occurred that I did not expect, I was given good news most of the time but I was not prepared to receive unhappy news such as a death. The first time this happen, I was playing with the cards with a friend, when I realized that there was a death about to occur. Within a year, her husband, one of my best friends, died of cancer. So I realized that what I was receiving needed to be respected and not used as a game. I stopped reading cards for friends and learned to share what I was receiving with care and compassion.
My intuitive knowing developed as I learned to meditate and to tap into my inner consciousness. The thing I really needed to develop was trust in the messages that I was receiving. Many of them had imagery and descriptions that I did not understand at the time. I stopped asking for what was going to happen as I learned that I was the one who was co-creating with God. I just had to know what I wanted and then allow myself to have the strength to take action steps. My intuition assisted as I would check in my heart whether an action would be good for me or not. My heart holds the wisdom and is the seed of my intuition. In my heart space, my loving space, I connect with the Divine and then my life begins to transform and blossom.
Intuition is our 'soul sense' that most people call our '6th' sense. Everyone has the ability to be intuitive. I do not need to consult a psychic anymore. For years, I went to psychics to assist me along my path, but I believe I was giving away my personal power when I let someone else figure out what may be in my future. I was always wondering what was going to happen instead of really living fully in the present moment. Intuitive living is very much about the present, about feeling, creating and exploring in the present. If something 'feels' right in your heart, then it is right for you because you will be coming from a place of peace and love. So I enjoy my 'ah ha' moments, and I write my daily messages after my meditations. I am blessed with awesome messages I receive that challenge my beliefs and stretch me to greater knowing. I am thankful for my 'soul sense' that guides me and assists me to be more aware through listening to my inner guidance. Once you trust your intuition, you will "know." Know that you have the wisdom and the strength to move ahead to try something new. Know that you are always connected in every moment to Divine love.
Is there a difference between Intuition and Wisdom? I believe our intuitive Self opens our heart so we may receive truth and wisdom. Intuition is the sense that receives Wisdom. From our heart space, we listen and receive knowledge of our life's purpose. We receive the wisdom to live in peace.
