 In a previous Creativity Pathway, I described the importance of listening to the
messages and energies of our bodies as a path to our intuition
Click.
Within ourselves we have an awesome power to access levels of information
beyond, or deeper than, the data of our other senses.
But intuition also comes from without, from external sources designed to present
perfect messages in the moment. When we open our awareness to the symbols and
beauties of our surroundings, our ability to interpret the world and ourselves
is enhanced.
Heighten Your Awareness. During many coaching conversations, I find that
the environment will present me with incredible intuitive guidance: a door will
slam in the background just as a client has fervently denied the ability to take
on a new perspective or I will notice a new bloom on a flower in the yard just
as the client is beginning to fully express herself. These symbols are then
brought into the conversation as another way to capture and describe what is
happening.
When we heighten our awareness, we also become tuned into patterns and repeated
messages. Here is a simple personal illustration of the power of paying
attention: I had been feeling the urge to call a close family friend all week,
but hadn't yet taken the time to make the call. At the end of the week, I opened
my dresser to choose something comfortable to wear and found a shirt she had
given me right on top.
The next morning, my daughter said, absolutely out-of-the-blue, "Mom, you look
like Shannon today." I noted that my daughter had no conscious awareness that I
had been thinking I should call Shannon, nor would she have had any idea that I
was wearing a shirt from her. Being aware of the consistent messages from my
environment prompted me to act and make the over-due, and much-needed, phone
call.
We design our environment and our environment designs us. Acknowledging the
sights, sounds and symbols outside of ourselves opens us to more information and
a greater use of our inner wisdom.
Coaching questions: What object, that is in your room at this very moment,
speaks to how you are feeling today? What is the meaning of the sounds that
surround you? What patterns have you disregarded this week?
