Learning to trust our gut more than the opinions of others turns up the volume on whispers of intuition.
Awakening to our gut feelings, personal power and self-love restores the wholeness left behind in pursuit of external sources of happiness.
describes several physical signatures of body intelligence that can foster improved self-care. “You feel more expansive, available and receptive—with a sense of a longer spine, a wider and deeper body and feet rooted in the Earth’s power- ful energy,” explains the author of Touchback: A Self-Healing Journey with Body, Art and Nature, who also has a master’s degree in fine arts. “Expanded into a condition of soft relax- ation, your mind stops talking; you enter a mind-body state of energetic receptive listening, where emotional intelligence is accessible. “These feelings and sensations are indicative of whole-
ness. From it, we have access to the eternal place of the fully healed soul, which whispers intuitively, nudging us toward what can heal our life, body and mind.”

INTUITION UNLEASHED
Spend time with your feelings: Write down how you feel about your job, relationships, house, health and what’s going on in the world.
Build and strengthen feeling receptors: Choose one feeling and spend the day with it. Notice every time you see that feeling expressed in yourself or someone else. Don’t judge it or form an opinion about it; just notice.
Receive everything: Pay attention to what you are feeling. Don’t worry about what you will do with what you feel or your thoughts about those feelings. Just receive them. You can decide later what you want to do with them.
Maintain a flexible “thermostat”: When you want to freak out or shut down, check in with your feelings in- stead. Be present, engaged and genuine. The feeling and associated intuition need your attention and the present is the time to attend to them.
