off and on for 5 years reappeared in his life seeking reconciliation. Even though he knew that was a toxic relationship, and I was—in his own words—just the extraordinary woman he wanted, he respected me too much to continue dating me without being fully available emo- tionally. Even as my heart sank from the unexpected turn of events, I ap- preciated his honesty and integrity.
A few months later, while I was traveling, I got an email from him out of the blue, telling me that his unfinished business was finally over. He’d love more than anything to pick up where we left off and for me to give him another chance. As my heart melted to his impassioned plea, my gut was all tied up in a knot. With such conflicting feelings in my body, I wrote him back, saying that I couldn’t promise anything beyond a conversation when I got back into town. He didn’t waste any time to call me shortly after I landed. By then, I had decided to listen to my gut. It was very difficult to have to say “no” to him repeatedly over the phone. He wouldn’t give up, and persisted with more emails. I stuck by the discomfort in my gut, even though I couldn’t understand what it was all about at the time. After all, I thought this man was honorable and forthcoming in telling me about the other woman. Why didn’t I feel it was a good idea to rekindle the powerful connection we shared?
Not two days after his final email plea for me to reconsider, I spotted him from afar, walking hand in hand to his car with another woman! As I felt the sensation of being stabbed in my heart, I was simultaneously grateful to my gut for warning me not to be involved with this man
again. Yes, the situation stung for a little while, because I had feelings for him. But, it would have paled in comparison to what might have hap- pened, if I hadn’t listened to my gut and had given my heart to the wrong guy. There were no objective facts about why he was untrustworthy -- at least not until after I had decided not to give him another chance. By honoring the warning coming from my body’s intuitive intelligence, I saved myself from serious heart- break.
Perhaps you or someone you know have had similar experiences of your gut—or another sensitive part of your body—warning you about some- thing or someone. Whether or not you’ve had previous experience with physical intuition, you can always start asking your body for guidance, as suggested by Dr. Chopra. It’s your Higher Self guiding you to what’s for your well being and highest good.
