Our intuition is guidance from the Higher Spirit Self. The mind has two parts/thought systems. Spirit is one and is the voice of love. Spirit knows only our divine Truth that we are perfect love and that only love is real. The other part of the mind, the ego, is illusory. The ego is not an entity nor a thing, but rather just the idea that we are separate from our Source. Its thought system is fear-based and is totally flawed as we are not separate from Source. The ego is the inner critic/false self which judges everyone and everything. Abundance, unity, and wholeness are part of Spirit’s thought system. Lack, separation, and limitation are part of the ego’s thought system.   

Since the part of the mind we choose to follow at any given moment effects how we perceive ourselves, others, and the world, listening to Spirit’s guidance (our intuition) enables us to experience and enjoy life from Spirit’s true vision of peace, love, non-judgement, harmony, and freedom.
​
How do you know if specific thoughts and ideas in your mind are guidance from Spirit or the ego? When they are from Spirit, they are loving, gentle, kind, and uplifting in nature. Any guidance that Spirit offers always result in positive outcomes for our well-being and anyone else concerned. Spirit gives us solutions on how to forgive and eliminate fear and judgement, and brings us clarity. We may feel a burst of joy when we receive inspiring ideas. If the thoughts and ideas are unloving, judgemental, or condemn anyone including the self, then they are from the ego.

The guidance received from Spirit may not always necessarily be what one wants to hear at the time. If there are expectations of what it should be, to match what you think you want, this is judgement and a control mechanism of the ego. If Spirit’s guidance is then ignored, it may lead to some confusion and doubt.

If unsure if the guidance is from Spirit or the ego, you can ask for clarification from Spirit and wait awhile. Let go of thinking about it for some time and to clear the mind, trusting that Spirit will bring you the clarification in divine timing. When we spend time being in silence and the mind becomes still, the intuitive guidance comes through clearly. Also, Spirit’s guidance will most likely stay the same a few days later, but that from the ego can change, even often.

We have so many thoughts that arise in the mind each day. Each moment, we always have the choice which inner voice to listen to. When I made the choice to listen to and follow only Spirit and have stayed committed to doing so everyday, the voice of the ego became much weaker. Like a muscle that gets stronger when we exercise it, when we are dedicated to listening to and following our intuition, the stronger our communication with Spirit and it becomes our clear, dominant, guiding light. ​

There is such a wide variety of information and ideas so readily and easily accessible to us especially with today’s technology. It can feel like information overload. I like to keep an open mind when presented with new information and ideas. At the same time, I have learned how vital it is to observe if the information resonates with me on a deep level and to listen to my inner guidance/Spirit to best support and assist me on my path. In other words, if it is aligned to our perfect and eternal Oneness with Source or not.

For some time up until a few years ago, I was interested in reading many books and gathering a information on various topics of interest. Some of these included spirituality and holistic health/nutrition/healing. Within these were topics such as genetically-modified foods, EMFs (electromagnetic fields), and spiritual protection (protecting/guarding the aura/body’s energy field). What I came to eventually realize, was that some of the information and teachings I was coming across, although seemingly helpful on the surface, was on a deeper level, capable of creating beliefs based in fear.

With the assistance of my connection/work with the Metatronia Therapy® vibration/light and as a dedicated student of A Course in Miracles, I came to the deep inner realization that accepting specific societal beliefs, such as the need to avoid certain types of foods because they could be harmful, or the need to protect from various external energies and influences, was not helpful, but rather creating a sense of fear. Such ideas were creating and instilling a belief and sense of vulnerability, which I didn’t have before doing that research and learning. And so my inner guidance let me know that it was important to unlearn the information that I had gained from some of the popular spiritual/self-help/health books that created fear. 

“Resistance is about believing that you are vulnerable or susceptible to something not wanted and holding a stance of protection-- which only holds you in a place of not letting in the Well-being that would be there otherwise.” ~Abraham-Hicks

Everything in the universe is vibrational. Thoughts and beliefs are vibrational. It seems in the collective consciousness, there is a focus on, and push against that which is not wanted in the world rather than a focus on that which is wanted. There is a push against pollution, dis-ease, war, different political and religious views, the food industry, and the long list of the unwanted goes on. There is less focus on what is actually wanted which includes well-being, health, peace, unity, harmony, love, etc. Worrying about or focussing on trying to change what is external to the self though, can lead to a sense of disempowerment or feeling vulnerable or  like a victim to the outside world. It feeds the fear of the ego/false self and separation consciousness.

“I was once asked why I don't participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I'll be there.” ~Mother Theresa

What I recognized is that the only thing that matters is our own personal vibration/alignment. In other words, rather than examining, guarding against, or trying to change anything external, looking within and aligning to our true self/Source is key.

How we choose to perceive ourselves and the world is so important. Source, which we have never been separated from, is invulnerable and so we too are truly invulnerable.

Nourishing the self by feeding it with high-vibrating thoughts is what is important. That is, with thoughts that are self-empowering and aligned to who we really are. Also, holding onto fear-based beliefs can inadvertently open the door to possible situations in which a sense of vulnerability may be experienced. That is because whatever the focus of attention is placed upon, whether it is wanted or unwanted, is called forward to us and becomes active in our vibration. We bring to us that which is a vibrational match to us. Like vibrations attract the like. It's the law of attraction.

We are divine light. We can be nothing less as our true self is part of Source. Source is not weak therefore, how could we be anything less than strong, powerful, infinite, perfect, and eternal? It isn’t possible. The more that I began to perceive myself as strong, invulnerable, and as the radiant, divine light that we all are, a deep sense of self-empowerment followed. The fear was replaced with inner strength. I have since then also felt grounded in the light and living from the awareness of the true self. When our thoughts and beliefs are aligned to who we really are, our Oneness with Source, and by simply embracing and being our magnificent light, any sense of vulnerability disappears. It really is that simple. Only love is real.

Therefore, it is essential to be mindful when presented with information. Is the information presented rooted in fear or in love? Does it make you feel uplifted and empowered or disempowered? Your inner guidance will tell you through how it makes you feel.

In Oneness,

Your thoughts and beliefs also have a vibrational frequency and those that are of LOVE and reflect the Truth of who you really are, as a divine being of love and light that is One with Source/Creator, raise your vibration.  And those that are of a lower vibration are those that are for example, self-sabotaging and judgemental.  These are all fear-based and are not aligned to the Truth of who you really are.  Foods and beverages also have a vibrational frequency.  I had written about the importance of consuming high vibrational foods and the healthy changes in diet that an individual's body may require one to make a couple years back in one of my previous blog posts. 

By focusing on what is working well in your life and those things in the world that you appreciate and bring you a feeling of joy and love, you bring more of those things that hold the vibration of joy and love to you.  Therefore, focus on that which you want and not on those things in your life or in the world that you don't want.  This will then allow and accelerate the creation of the reality you wish to experience.  It is through your personal vibration that you create what you experience. ​

Often times when any health challenges arise, it is the body’s way of trying to give you a deeper message.  Often the message is that there is something in your consciousness that is not in alignment with your inner truth and it is surfacing so that it may be noticed and healed.  Your body is likely asking you to let go of all the busyness and worries and to take time to nurture and connect with your inner self.  The health issue is then forcing a person to relax in order to heal.

If you are experiencing a health challenge you can choose to look at it as an opportunity to make any necessary, positive changes in your life that your body is guiding you to make.  Taking this type of approach will assist you with empowering your health.  Releasing the resistance to the natural flow of well-being within is key.  Well-being is always available because you are always connected to Source Energy within.  Healing happens within and through you rather than externally.  Healing is alignment with well-being.
 
The following are a few methods that support the natural flow of healing within.

1.  Live In The Present Moment.  Do your best to remain in the present moment.  The NOW moment is where you will ever be in any given time so place your attention here.  This will help to release any worries about the future and keep from being stuck in the past.  Focussing on your breath, quieting the mind, being aware of the ever-flowing energy of Source within, will instantly bring you clarity of mind and keep you in the present moment.  Taking several moments to focus on your breath and stilling the mind throughout your day, especially when any tension arises, will bring you to your place of power within.

2.  Envision your body having optimal health right now.  Whatever your current state of health, visualize/imagine exactly how you want it to be and how you want to FEEL. Make this your focus.  For example, if you are currently experiencing any pain, visualize and allow yourself to FEEL what it would be like for your whole body to be relaxed without any pain or discomfort.  Or if mobility is an issue, visualize yourself doing an activity that you love, moving with complete ease and comfort.  And again FEEL how it would be like to be doing these things and the great joy and sense of freedom it would bring you.   What are other feelings that you’d experience if you no longer had the health condition?
It is the FEELING aspect that it is most important because it is our feelings that create our experiences.  Taking a few minutes a day to sit quietly/meditate and visualize and FEEL your body functioning optimally is such a powerful exercise.  If there is a specific organ that is experiencing distress, bring your inner attention to that area and visualize it working optimally right now like there was never a problem there.  Interestingly, the subconscious mind does not know the difference between what is real and what is imagined.  So this again points out the power on doing such an exercise regularly.  Visualize all the cells of your body in perfect health.  Visualize/intend that each of your cells is being infused with LOVE.

If you are concerned about the health of another person, you would do the same thing, but visualize him/her how you would want to see that person and the health condition already healed.

3.  Release any beliefs that are not in alignment with the Truth of who you are.  In Truth, you are One with Source Energy which is all-powerful and you have all resources within.  If you feel helpless or like a victim because the health condition is genetic or notice that you are blaming another for your health or happiness then you are giving away your power.  This could also be a subconscious deservability issue in that you may feel you don’t deserve optimal health because it runs in the family.  With such health conditions, often times it is actually the emotional/mental pattern of a condition that is passed on through the generations.  For example, you may share the same tendency to worry, over-analyze, or deal with stress in the same manner as your parents.  However, by shifting the pattern, the physical manifestation will automatically be shifted as well.  If you do have any such beliefs simply let them go.  Ask your inner self to help you to release these beliefs permanently.  It is important to return the focus back to you and choose what brings you the most peace.
 
4.  Be aware of what you tell yourself and others about your health.  The physical body responds to everything that you think and say about yourself.  The body is made up of about 70% water and easily absorbs the messages/vibrations that it receives.  Be mindful of what messages you are giving your body.  Just observe, without any self-judgement, the thoughts that arise in your mind and the words you speak, and then simply choose to let go of those that are not nurturing.  Instead choose those that are loving, supportive, and nurturing to your health/well-being.  It is important to just observe and stay detached from them as they are only thoughts and not who you are.  As such, they can be released/changed.   

Sometimes a person may develop a strong attachment to a health condition and make it part of his/her identity.  In such a case, rather than seeing the condition as something they are currently experiencing, they think of it as something that they are.  This can create a sense of hopelessness/disempowerment.  It is also important to be mindful of what one states aloud and as a result is reinforcing about one's health.   Thinking and speaking about how you want your health to be, rather than on what it is you don't want, gives the body a totally different message that promotes positive change and healing support.  It promotes the natural flow of well-being within rather than resisting/blocking the possibility of healing with limiting beliefs.

Nourish your body with uplifting, positive thoughts and statements so that it knows that you are now open to improved health/well-being and solutions.  This will automatically shift/raise the vibrational frequency of your thoughts and mind and open the door to healthy change.  Take a moment each day to bless your body.  Give thanks to your body for being the temple for your beautiful and divine spirit.  Thank it for all that it does and supporting you on your life’s journey. 

5.  Surround yourself with positive, loving and supportive people.  It is important to be around people who help to uplift your spirit and that will be supportive of any healthy and positive changes you are making in your life.  It is also perfectly fine to take more quiet time for yourself as needed.  As you continue to grow and move forward on your path, your ideas and beliefs may often change along the way.  Therefore, you may feel that certain situations, people, or places no longer resonate with your new ways of being.  This is all normal and part of the process.  Allow those things that are no longer resonating with you to simply fall away.  This will then automatically create an energetic space in which new opportunities, people, and situations that are a match for your new vibration to enter your life.

6.  Have an attitude of gratitude each day.  When you first awake in the morning, take a few moments to give thanks for all the blessings in your life.  For example, as you lay in bed be thankful for the simple things like the fresh air you are breathing and your comfy bed.  Be grateful for your life, knowing that you have the power within to create the reality you wish to experience.  Think of a few things and throughout the day try to stay in an attitude of gratitude.  Gratitude has the same vibration as love.  And when you can focus on the good things as they arise, then your inner spirit/universe will bring you even more such things that give you joy, pleasure and that which you are grateful for.

Always be gentle, kind, and loving to yourself!
