Where Is The Wisdom Coming From

ARTICLES

Intuition, wisdom, higher guidance, guardian angles, psychic wisdom, guides, channeled wisdom, medical intuition, gut feelings ... and even your good old "spidey-sense" are some ways that this increase in heightened intuition can be described. Like it or not, intuition is here to stay. It is a natural skill and human resource that we have all been born with.

Dependent on the social culture or politics of the times, it may have been fostered or stamped out of us. Since 1989, which ushered in a great time of planetary and energy shifts, many people have been tuning not higher wisdom and trusting themselves more. We are not the same people we were back then.

More recently in the last 5 years, we have experienced a second surge of this natural way of being. Much of this is also thanks to the expanding media coverage and published works that are giving credibility to this exciting birthright tool.

Where does it come from?

Just as there are many places we can access wisdom and resources in visible and tangible ways, so are there as many places to access the more invisible sources of wisdom. As you hear a little helpful message during your walk or upon drifting off to sleep ... do you know where it is coming from? We can train ourselves to discern between the various sources of wisdom.

First you might want to have an idea of what sources of higher wisdom are out there. There is our own wisdom, our internal wise, clear voice that is often referred to as our higher self, or wise self. Then there are a host of guides or guardians that each and everyone has available to them at all times. These Guides can be in many forms, but their overall role is to support and guide us. Sometimes the support comes in conscious ways, and at other times they are very subtle. We can receive guidance, support and wisdom from nature, from animals, from loved ones who have passed on, from our body, from energies not of this earth, from planets, from legendary or mythical characters and more.

Recognize the energy

Time and practice will be your biggest allies becoming more open to these subtle energies and messages. Being willing to not censor and to let the information flow is also helpful. Take the first thing that pops into your awareness or mind. It may be a word, a phrase, a song, a symbol, a picture, a color. Try not to censor or figure it all out. Get accustomed to the energy and imagine that it is here to help. Explore the energy, messages or sensations without needing to understand it all fully. You have a right to ask questions, to invite the energies of higher wisdom to be present... and to structure the way you wish to be a part of this privileged exploration.

There is no need to entertain all sorts of wise energies when you are trying to sleep before a busy day. Structure your exploration. Relax, breathe, have an opening and a closing routine to help set the structure to these newer relationships. Writing things down is helpful and keeps your busy mind from interfering too much.

Will you feel like you are making it all up to be journaling messages from great Aunt Sally who passed on when you were four, or to be communing with the Oak Tree in your back yard? Absolutely! Making it up is a great way to frame this new experience. If you are simply making things up, then you can let the information or sensations flow more easily. Can you get into trouble spots practicing trusting your own inner wisdom and other sources floating around out there? Not really. Only if you are experiencing extreme circumstances of mental instability are you under any risk of losing track of your grounded life while tuning into other potential wisdom.

Be discerning and educated

Once you have got a sense of the different sources of wisdom that are available and an idea how you experience them differently you will be in a better position to draw on this extra wisdom at will. It does not ever replace solid help from everyday resources, but is a great tool for those double checks and extra doses of support we can also stand to have in life.

Some practitioners offer intuitive services using titles such as: channeling, psychic readings, mediumship and medical intuition. In all you do, be a discerning and educated consumer. Ask good questions and do not be shy if you do not understand where they are getting the information from. It is all well and good to be impressed by a person who can tune into your energy field and share some accurate information with you, but know where they got that information from. After all, many other professions have expertise we do not fully understand at first. Ask questions so that you can become more oriented to how they work.

Did a practitioner tune into a 3 rd party through one of their wise guides and channel that wisdom for you? Did they receive it in a psychic impression directly from your own energy field that holds all information ? Did they access the information through your physical body by a medical intuition scan? Did they get the message from a loved one who you would know who has passed on into what mediums refer to as "spirit"? These are just some of the more common ways that people receive their intuitive information and share it with clients.

If you asked 100 Initiatives how they do their work, you would likely get as many different answers. Consider for a moment, the Body to be an electrical system. Both the Body itself and the energy field surrounding the Body are electrically charged. Within this charge, or energy field, all information about it's past and present and some even believe it's future are stored. The Body remembers incidents, feelings, thoughts and stores information about outside influences as well.

You need be comfortable and knowledgeable about where practitioner information is coming from, to truly use the information for your best and highest good. If a practitioner cannot tell you where they get their messages from, then find someone else. If you are receiving advice, recommendations or directions about your life and especially your health, ask again, where this information is coming from. Be a scientist in your own life. Notice how different sources of wisdom sound and feel. There is an incredible amount of information available to all and it is written all over your energetic field. In time, we will all learn how to pick up on these seemingly invisible bits of information and wisdom. Until then, explore, be discerning and playful. Above all, trust your own self. You are always the one that knows you best!
