THE ART OF
By Lisa Marie Rosati
Intuition is the ability to acquire knowledge without inference or the use of reason. For some women, it’s a gut feeling that translates directly into a knowing, a divine and accurate inner com- pass that guides us to our next move. Sadly, most women tend to override their intuition by either listening to their “Inner Mean Girl” or by using logic to silence their intuitive voice with the yea but’s. “Yea but I can’t do that because _______” or “Yea but I can’t afford that ______ because.” Worry not! Intuition is a skill that can be honed. I like to think of intuition as an art, something we can practice and in time master. Research has shown that we all have a learned voice of internal judgment. This inner voice will shut down your genius and over- ride your intuition if you allow it to. Did you know that your Inner Mean Girl’s main function is to protect you from potential poor decision-making or high-risk
behavior, either physical or emo- tional? This protective mechanism was really useful when you were a young girl and were learning life’s ropes. But, it eventually becomes a limitation when you continue to rely solely on logic to make all of your decisions as you enter into womanhood.
When you come to the realiza- tion that it doesn’t matter what happened in your upbringing or the mistakes you’ve made in your past, you become instantly liberated. You’re a woman, you’ve grown and learned from your past missteps or stumbles. With the

gift of wisdom, you can begin to heal the wounds of your past and forgive yourself. Once healed, you can learn how to successfully move your decision making from your head, where your Inner Mean Girl resides, down into your gut, where your intuition resides… Here are some tips on how to get in-touch with your intu- ition. This is the process I use when I am faced with a deci- sion that I’m unsure of what to do. I will:
1. Find a quiet place without any distractions - No electron- ics or people to interrupt me.
2. Connect with source – God, Goddess, The Universe, Divine Feminine Energy, etc.
3. Feel the decision with my body - What am I feeling? Not, what am I thinking?
