How do you develop Trust in your Intuition?

Hello beautiful beings,

I hope that you are moving through the end of Libra Season with lots of grace and love! This week, we step into Scorpio Season: the darkening, into depth and greater awareness. We also move towards Halloween, All Hallows’ Eve, Samhain, the Day of the Dead. Over that weekend, there is a profound feeling of the veil thinning, of easier connection with ancestors and the karmic past, and of remembering the facets of our own intuition.

I wanted to walk you through some of the greater benefits, at this time, of turning inwards, of giving your intuitive senses some time to speak, share and show, and to encourage you to expand your mind and awareness to receiving what is already here for you now.

One of the greatest gifts of really honing your intuition is the peace that it brings. Our minds demand action, movement, doing. But intuitively, we understand that it’s often in the space and spaciousness that what has been unknown can reveal itself. We use so much energy in indecision, flipping back and forth between options, but when we sink into a deeper sense of knowing, the path is laid bare before us. Following your intuitive understanding frees up the mind to plan and do in alignment with your deeper sense of self, your essence.

This then creates a new feeling of self-assurance. It can be so easy to doubt ourselves, especially when things don’t go to plan. We rebuild that confidence as we practise following our own intuition. Know this: it’s a practice, something that you repeat over and over again. It’s like building a muscle, or clearing a path. It will require dedication or devotion, one that you will need to remember and return to, again and again.

And once you’ve built this, self-reliance emerges. There will always be a healthy need for friends, partners, collaborators and mentors. They have their place in your life, to create, build, design and play. But the temptation to defer your choices to another will dissipate as you remember that the answers are always within you. You then free your friends to be friends, your family to love and support you, and your mentors to lightly guide, without obligating them to fix or figure it out for you. You liberate yourself and those you care for.

My hope is that you will sit with these ideas and allow them to move through you, to shift your mindset, and to remember the great power and ability that already lie within you.

And if it helps, meditate on the following:

• When am I tempted to defer to another? What fears motivate me to doubt myself?
• Which intuitive senses feel the strongest within me now? What will help me to remember to come back to them?
• Which practice could I develop that would bring me back to my centre, to witness my intuition speak to me?

Sending blessings to each of you for the courage to seek within, knowing that you are already built for this.
