For the longest time I’ve always felt I’ve had an intuitive ability which comes through my feelings, sensations, or my dreams. I didn’t always take heed to my intuition, especially in moments where it mattered. My level of anxiety also meant that sometimes I confuse the two, I have so much anxiety stored within me I find it blurs my intuition. 

What is intuition? 

Intuition is inner knowing, it is that voice within us that guides us, supports us and leads us to the truth. I always want to have the answer to everything, I want to understand why some things happen, why some things don’t happen, why people have to suffer, why I have to suffer sometimes, and I find not knowing to be the hardest part. Because this life experience is so confusing at times, we don’t have the answers and maybe we don’t get the answers to some of the questions we have in our mind and heart. But we do have intuition, we have God who is within us, but to guide us and support us we have to tap into our intuition, to quiet the noise in our heads, to listen, to practice discernment, to wait and be patient until the answers are revealed. 

We have the answers within us. When I feel confused – I give myself time, patience and silence – I tell myself that I have the answer and allow my inner knowing to guide me, to guide my actions. But there are also signs, we have intuitive dreams, and our dreams reveal to us what is happening within our lives, within our spirits. They give us answers and tell us what we need to be aware of. There are also angel numbers, I see those in moments when I want a change, or something is changing in my life. Intuition wants us to look for signs, to pay attention, to take notice of what’s going on within our lives. I think that’s what the angel numbers do for me, they are asking me to pay attention and to trust myself.

But maybe everything is written, we all have our own assignments on this earth and God and our intuition guide us to fulfilling our assignment. I have been through so many painful and difficult experiences, and sometimes I wonder why, I think it’s not fair, I get frustrated that life couldn’t be more smooth sailing, thinking why couldn’t I have made better choices? But then I think – I am always being guided and what I have been through is a series of experiences that have led me to who I am today that woman who is supposed to talk, to share, to love, to create a community, to encourage honesty, openness, authenticity and growth. To create change. And if I had to go through the things that I went through (and will go through) to become that woman, then I can only be grateful.
