Look
here for ways to practice opening your intuition!
Direct
Writing & A Journal Practice
Let your
intuitive self communicate through the process of “direct writing,”
which allows the fresh, quirky, first thoughts to speak instead of your
usual, habitual mental responses. Here’s how direct writing works:
Get quiet and centered. You might pretend that you're writing as your
inner child--little Katie, little Michael, little Valerie. Or let your
soul, or your body, speak. Your mind’s job is purely secretarial.
Write a question in your notebook. Then tune in to honest, wise, simple
You and intend the answer to come.
Let the inner voice start by addressing you directly, perhaps by name,
then allow words to arise, one by one, without censorship, as a spontaneous
flow of commentary. Don’t think ahead, don’t second-guess
what’s being said. If a strange word comes into your head, write
it down! Whatever word is supposed to follow that one will simply occur
next. Don’t stop and read back over what you’ve written. You're
taking dictation. When it's ready, the writing will finish by itself.
You might want to time yourself--for example, write for ten minutes
without stopping.
Use direct writing to describe what's occurring in your life, the opening
of your intuition, the blocks you encounter in your perception, the
breakthroughs. Write down interesting anecdotes: “The strangest
thing happened when I shared my dream with Pamela, whom I had just met
at a party. . .” Write about small miracles: “I was thinking
yesterday that I needed an exercise bike and at work today Steve mentioned
he had one to sell at a reasonable price!” Write about energy:
“I haven’t been able to sleep for a week. I feel some kind
of electricity running through me as soon as I lie down.” Write
about what you see in your dreams and meditations, about odd things
that people say to you—out of the blue.
Cultivate
Surprises
Write
about something or someone who surprised you this week. What was revealed
to you about life, or about some hidden aspect of yourself? Then write
about how you surprised yourself or someone else. This week, emphasize
words like Oh, Wow, Ho-ho-ho, Open, Now, So! Notice how your mind
responds to the exclamatory "O" sound.
Balance
Your Three Brains
1.
Get quiet, close your eyes and bring your attention inside your skin.
As you breathe in, imagine energy flowing up your spine, through the
back of your neck, into your brainstem, and filling the reptile brain
with warm (perhaps red or pink) light. Relax the area where your head
and neck join. Let the warm light build and swell gently like a fruit
becoming ripe. Let the light educate and heal that part of your brain,
relaxing and opening it. As the light expands, let it gently lift
off like a balloon, moving upward and outward, filling the midbrain.
2. Concentrate your attention on the clear bright center point of
your midbrain. Out of that center pours golden light. Visualize the
pink light from the reptile brain gradually turning shiny gold as
it merges into and circulates around the midbrain. Let the light educate,
heal and relax the second brain, opening it. See the golden light
expand outward and upward, rising into the upper brain, the neocortex.
3. Concentrate your attention now at the top of your head. Watch the
golden light from the midbrain rise and turn into a clear electric
blue light. Feel your uppermost brain vibrating with energy and knowledge,
and let the blue light educate and heal the tissues, circuitry and
neurotransmitters there.
4. Allow the blue light to cascade downward and gradually merge through
your entire brain, dissolving into a transparent glossy diamond light
and radiating outward, beyond the head, like a halo. Sit for a while
like this. Imagine thqt the data from the lower brains is uploading
to the neocortex and the understanding of the upper brain is downloading
to the two brains below. Let the exchanges take place easily and naturally.
