let’s talk intuition

let’s talk INTUITION, friends. you know, that “gut feeling”; when you “just know”; our “sixth sense”.

in some ways, it’s difficult to describe what intuition actually is, because it’s really beyond the realm of thoughts and words, even though both are two of the 

translations of the sensory energetic experience that IS intuition. because “intuition” is just that – AN EXPERIENCE. and we simply Know (with that capital “k”) when we feel it. 

and yet, here i am tryin’ to explain in words… here’s a start:

intuition is the key to unlock our own unique alignment with the universe. when things feel natural, when our desires are realized easily then we are in harmonic flow with our purpose. and when we are in alignment with our purpose, our own unique vibration, life is full of ease and abundance. ‘cause i’m a movement person, and movement grounds me, and perhaps makes this concept more tangible to you, the same is true of movement:

take a moment to remember a time when you felt truly at ease in movement – perhaps it was our time together last month. or in Pilates class last week. or on a walk. or in a dance class. or on a horse or roller skates. or even bound up in a sexual embrace with a lover. that same FLOW in our physical body exists on a more etheric, less tangible level too. 

because we have several bodies – our PHYSICAL body being the densest of all, then the ETHERIC, the EMOTIONAL, the MENTAL and finally, the least tangible of all, the SPIRITUAL, what you can see as your “true self” – alignment transcends this 3D plane. 

in fact, trusting and listening to our intuition, i.e. honing the skills that allow us to sense our unique alignment and purpose, is the GREATEST SELF-CARE of all! when we take care of our physical body through nourishing movement, food, touch, rest, friendship, ALL sensory experiences, we allow an energetic ripple effect to traverse all those around us too. think about it – when you feel good, generally, those around you tend to feel better too.

this is not by accident. our physical body is our antenna to the rest of our bodies. it allows us to ATTRACT, well, anything! and when we feel ease and flow in our physical body, it means we are Aligned (with that capital “a” there); in other words, we are ATTRACTING all that is connected to SOURCE, our purpose. in other other words, we are aligned with the vibration of LOVE. our body exists here in 3D with all that sensory information to allow us to experience and express this SOURCE love. 

ahh, SOURCE. God. Spirit. Soul – whatever you call it – already exists in its fullest, most realized, expanded state within us. it lives within us. we have this dense tangible body and reality to feel – see – touch – taste – smell – KNOW UNIVERSAL LOVE. unconditionally and absolutely. 

that doesn’t mean we don’t struggle, have 

pain, experience loss, and sadness. in fact, it’s in those darker, indeed HUMAN, moments that we can learn about the light of happiness, joy, laughter and gratitude. it’s those moments that, really, we have to be grateful for. by recognizing the “dark” we can appreciate and attract the “light”. 

i keep using that word, LOVE because what it really means is: LUXURIOUS OPEN VIBRATIONAL ENERGY. 

we are what – 60% water? and what, human babies are nearly 80% water? and guess what? water is sensitive to vibration! just think how a stone thrown into a pond creates ripples through it. 

or how the invisible force of the wind can 

makes a puddle wave. 

THAT’S US, y’all! WE are VIBRATIONAL beings. you only need to place your hand on your throat and hum – or have your bébé put his teething mouth on your chest and make sound – to feel it. actually, you only need to hear the laughter of any baby at all to know how deep that vibration of love resonates!

because we are vibrational we can choose from an infinite number of vibrations that exist. further, if our way of communicating with ALL of our bodies is through our thoughts, emotions and words – aka all things of the body – well then, you better believe that ALL of those things have a bearing on which vibration we choose to sync up with!

i’ve heard LOVE be called the “highest” vibration. but hierarchy is a 3D human concept. if SOURCE exists inside of us as part of our all-knowing SPIRITUAL BODY and is where only ABSOLUTE LOVE exists, how could there be any kind of comparison at all? there can’t be. 

and yet, ALL vibrations exist on the same plane. vibes can’t really be “good” or “bad” either for the same reason i just mentioned above. there is simply the vibration that brings us EASE and FLOW just waiting to be plucked from among all others.

so, if ALL vibrations exist on the same plane, it’s more like a box of yarn scraps. all the colors and textures and thicknesses and fibers are in there, mixed up together. all we have to do is find the one that suits us best. mine looks pretty simple, a sturdy, medium weight teal cotton yarn. yours may look like red sparkly acrylic, or a chunky variegated homespun wool. one is not better than the other. and though they may LOOK different, they are, essentially, the same – they are made of LOVE – luxurious, open, vibrational energy.  

guess what? if we choose one that doesn’t quite fit, well, we have the capacity of AWARENESS (what we practice in movement, folx!!) to SHIFT to another.

now, the ease with which i’m writing about how easy this process is may sound conceptually “out there”. that’s ‘cause it IS out there! OUT THERE in the ether surrounding our physical body to be TAPPED INTO with said body! there are actual WAYS in which you can TAP “INTUIT” – pun SO intended!

meditation. sensing and feeling your bodily yes and no. movement. training your third eye to see and your inner voice to hear and/or decipher messages. these are all tangible methods of tapping into the deepest AWARENESS of your body to understand the messages pouring in.  

side (and final) note (sorta): i prefer the word “tapping”. “plugging” into it would also do the trick. “stepping” into it too. but tapping connotes a rhythmic movement, and y’all know that i’m a mover! that’s what i do. that’s part of my reason for being here on this planet in 3D – to help us all MOVE into our physical body to deepen our understanding and trust in ALL of our bodies! plus, tapping is a healing practice and further connotes the rhythm of our heartbeat, which itself conjures LOVE. join me in today’s episode of Sayezz with Stephanie for an intuitive movement class to help you discover your own yarn scrap of love. rock on, friends.
