Intuition, Innocence and our Higher Self

Intuition, we all have it. We all have an innate ability to access this part of ourselves. In fact, it isn’t just a part of us, it is us. When we come across a psychic, we might marvel at their ability to access this information they can gather about somebody else’s past or future. Some people are naturally gifted with obvious psychic abilities, and they don’t need to hone their gift because they already have it. But for most of us, if we want to realise this side of ourselves we need to practice getting in touch with these gifts. But the question remains… how do we do that?

If we want to access our psychic abilities, or our intuition, as these are one and the same, we really just need to be in our natural state, in the flow. We don’t need to be someone we are not, and definitely don’t be rational. Leave your left brain behind and work entirely from your right. The reason why we can’t allow logic or reasoning to step in is because, these thought processes – logic and reasoning - are attributed to our Ego. There is nothing wrong with the Ego, it is a survival mechanism, it instils confidence in us to go out and do and achieve what we want to do. Although, in this exercise, the Ego, through allowing our brain to exercise logic and reasoning, isn’t letting our brain be in that free-flowing state where we can use our right brain faculties of creativity and intuition.

As soon as we try and rationalize what we are seeing and try and apply logic to it, the intuition process goes right out the window! When this happens, and we try to rationalize the intuitive process, we lose it. The flow is gone, and any message that we have received or the feeling of any Energy from somebody else just vanishes. Whoosh! It is gone. Why is this? Applying logic to things is good, right? Well, not in this instance it isn’t. Logic and rationalizing allow us to make sense of this world that we live in. They allow us to see how things are and why they are, how they relate to other things and generally help us to make sense of any given situation. This is the domain of the left brain. Logic and reasoning. How we perceive the world, and how we organize things so we can make sense of seeming chaos.  The right hemisphere of the brain is responsible for creativity and intuition. So, for example many artists, psychics of all sorts and musicians are said to be right-brain thinkers.  No-one is considered to be one or the other, as all of us use both sides of our brain. Both hemispheres of our brain are connected by a band of nerve fibres called the corpus callosum so information from both sides of the brain can travel freely from one side to the other. So, we are not definitively a left or right brain thinker. With that said, to access our Intuitive Self, we need to utilise our right side of the brain.

William Whitecloud, Speaker, Author, Intuitive and Creator, has simplified how we can access this state, and it is surprisingly simple. I speak from experience on this, as I am currently taking part in his online course called Create Your Destiny, and I am having epiphanies almost daily about myself!  In order for us to reach this intuitive state, William says that we need to get in touch with our Innocence. This in itself is profound. Think back to when you were a kid, maybe 5 or 6 years old, before you had realized the harsh realities of life. Things were easy and life was simple. Sure, you had no responsibilities and you didn’t have to look after yourself, but life was simpler, you didn’t worry about things and life just happened. Well, we need to access that state. Clear your head and leave your ego at the door! William has played with the word Innocence and re-named it In No Sense, as this is the true state we need to access. We need to enter that place where we no longer make sense of the situation. Just be in the flow of what is happening. In No Sense is a state of awe outside of thoughts and feelings (ego), and this is the bridge to intuition. Our intuition is our Higher Self speaking to us. When we listen to our Higher Self, we are truly honoring our Spirit, as this is our true spiritual state.

Try this out for yourself and see how it can work for you. Or if you are keen, have a look at https://naturalsuccessacademy.com/ for further information on how you can access this state.
