recovering intuition through the body

I’ve learned that experience is the best teacher of life and that your patterns hold the key to evolving on your Womanhood journey. I’ve also learned that as Women, our intuition is our lifeline and our body is the best mentor we could possibly have.

For months I struggled with sleeping through the night. I’d wake up frequently tossing and turning. Getting a full night’s rest seemed impossible until one night when I decided to stay up and listen. At first I was just staring at the ceiling but then I asked my spirit what it was holding onto and trying to tell me. I felt intuitively that it had the answers that I needed and after a few moments I heard them. I thought about past experiences and realized all of the lessons I’d been ignoring. I realized that my spirit was communicating to me that I needed to value myself more and trust my inner voice. The guidance I received at that moment was what I secretly knew but ignored. I was failing to recognize my value. In all the past experiences, I did not see that I was worthy of protection and whole already. I thought that I needed things outside of me to feel like I was complete.

That night, I asked how I could find completion within and as I was making myself breakfast the next morning I got my answer. I learned that I could find completion within once I stopped believing someone or something outside of me had the answers to my life’s problems. It’s no wonder I was unable to sleep at night. My focus throughout the day was on a laundry list of worries I had in life. In the midst of all of the worrying, I forgot to take care of myself. I valued reaching my goals more than I valued my well-being. I spent most of my days over consuming self help content from social media and feeling stressed about not yet being where I wanted to be in life. My body was waking me up in the middle of the night to shake me back to life and remind me of my worth, power and life force. It was telling me that my inner world was in jeopardy. It was speaking in the only language that it knew I could understand. My body was guiding me. All of the answers I could ever need were always within. I never needed to stress or worry. All I needed to do was trust my inner voice and pour into myself. Somewhere down the line I forgot about this truth but my body was there to re-ignite my path.
