There is no greater force more powerful than the quiet, silent, nearly imperceptible whisper of your gut.

This knowing, this sensation, this whisper - it urges you subtly and softly with the faint voice of: "yes." "no." "this way" "that way" "do this thing" "don't do that thing," and the more adept we are at listening to it -

The easier our alignment is to find, the more at peace we feel, the more in our power we are, and the safer we are.

Before we know something with evidence, we are told with a delicate nudge -- because intuition whispers long before it screams.

Our intuition is our greatest source of inner truth, but we are de-conditioned out of listening to it and trusting it in many ways:

A world of noise and overstimulation, chattering voices that slip into our heads and take us away from our bodies and sovereignty, a conditioning to people-please and make everyone happy, and far too many "benefit-of-the-doubts" given where silent trust should've sat.

"I'm being crazy," we tell ourselves -- talking back to a voice that is beyond our time and space, that is an ancient and evolutionary skill that kept our ancestors alive long enough to lengthen our lineages.

We talk over this voice - a voice so strong, it has joined the family of our senses and been called the sixth.

If the world is far more than the physical matter we can see with spectrums of light, time, and space that are unavailable to us simply because we cannot perceive them with the naked eye, then this voice that does not speak words yet eludes a knowing from our bones should be consulted with and trusted far more often than it is.

This episode is meant to help you reconnect with it and deepen your intuition.

It is meant to guide you to that gut knowing, reunite you with your inner voice, and allow you the inner power to know -- that most of the time...

You already know. You already have your answers.

You just have to clear the space to hear to them.

In this episode, we discuss:

what intuition is in relation to time, space, and other dimensions
higher realms + consulting with / hearing the divine
how felt sensation can be a guiding post for us
how intuition is different than inner judgement, fear, and imagination + why and how we are conditioned out of it
how outside influences & certain people can deter you from your intuition and the beauty of being connected to your own sovereignty
how to get back in touch with your inner voice, with prescriptions from Julia Cameron's follow-up to The Artist's Way "Living the Artist's Way - an Intuitive Path to Greater Creativity,"
