Positive Energy Guide

“A man’s most valuable trait is a judicious sense of what not to believe.” ~Greek playwright Euripides (485-406 B.C.)

Yes we all receive internal Guidance but we need help unmasking it and learning to “read” it.

Modern life drowns out many of the conditions that foster healthy intuitive development. Living in nature promotes:

• Being grounded in the body
• Listening
• Silence
• Introspection
• Attending to small signals that indicate other life close by
• Anticipating weather changes
• Noticing exactly which influences strengthen plants or draw animals
• Sensing the importance of timing
• Breathing fully
• Noticing expressions of energy
• Experiencing directly the interconnected nature of all life

Expecting to be adept at accessing Guidance without some type of on-going training and practice is unrealistic. If you were born with innate tracking skills, you would still need to learn the prints and marks of animal activity and how signs show up in various terrain and weather and how much time that had passed since tracks or signs were made. Even those with inborn intuitive skills need life experience and practice.

Intuitive development calls for aptitude, training, and confirmation. Aptitude means being born with or acquiring in childhood neurological software that supports the skill. Training may be formal, or an outcome of committed personal attention. Confirmation is the process of receiving impressions, energy, or information and consistently checking your accuracy.

Intuitive aptitude and training are rarely across-the-board. This means that most of us perceive better in some realms of experience than in others. We’ll go into Confirmation and Range of Guidance in following posts.

Life consists of many different arenas of potential experience and dimensions. Intuitive perception can be applied to world situations, health, relationships, spiritual experience, clearing energy from rooms or buildings, your next step in personal development, and so forth.

Perception can be focused on body energy systems like chakras, and fields, for example, or on the fields that are much farther out from the body. I’ve had a few clients whose health required an adjustment 300 feet out from their bodies!

Confirmation and practice are necessary in each new arena of attention and experience in which we aspire to perceive clearly.

You may be far more intuitive than you know. If you have not spent a significant amount of time with someone who applies advanced intuitive skills you may not know your own level.

I practiced body therapies for years without any idea of my aptitude. Eventually I met an intensely powerful clairvoyant, clairaudient healer. By tuning in to exactly what he was perceiving as he worked I discovered that I could perceive almost all of it. I found myself working side by side with him with healing clients. Through focus and practice I discovered a vast world of and energy experience outside of my previous scope of vision and my beliefs. Immediate changes in clients served as confirmation.

This healer later disclosed that he had participated in a remote viewing program with the CIA. It is a known if unsavory fact that government agencies have applied psychic skills and remote viewing in military applications.

Some years later I also met a spiritual teacher with unnerving psychic skills who had been in a similar government program. In my observation government training distorts Guidance. The skills have not developed naturally alongside Heart, in a context of respectful ethics.

Before these and other encounters I hadn’t been focusing my attention in the ways that pull forth different types of information. I didn’t know what I was looking for–or that there was anything TO look for, or any reason to look.

Since then I have participated as other people awaken to their capacities by being in environments where energy is noticed and discussed. Comparing notes and experiences about perception is essential to learning to recognize and confirm intuition versus imagination.

In addition to aptitude, training and confirmation, these traits and conditions are conducive to developing skillful Guidance:

• An open mind
• Motivation toward personal development
• Adequate freedom from personal issues that obscure Guidance
• Good self-observation skills
• Courage to confront the unknown
• Courage to confront the hidden recesses of your inner world
• Willingness to welcome knowing it when you are mistaken
• Discipline to maintain a consistent practice throughout different life conditions
• The need or desire to apply your skills in daily life
• Motivation to be of service
• Association with others who have similar or more-developed skills

We will address obstacles to Guidance in detail as we go along in the series.
