One part of us may be excited about making changes while another part of us is terrified about it. At times we may be very
aware of the conflicting voices inside of us. If we can acknowledge and honour all our different inner voices and their feelings, our
intuition will show us an appropriate step to take — one that moves us in the right direction without being too
frightening for our vulnerable selves or too radical for our conservative parts.
It is an ongoing process in which we are always being challenged to move to a deeper level of self-trust. Listening to, trusting, and acting on your intuitive inner guidance is an art. Like any other art or discipline, it requires a certain commitment.
It’s important to be very compassionate with ourselves in this process. If we have been conditioned to try to approach life entirely rationally, to follow certain rules (or to automatically rebel against them), or to do what we think other people want us to do, then beginning to follow our own inner sense of truth is a major shift. It’s natural for it to take some time and it may be a little difficult and confusing at certain moments. For most of us, the practice of allowing our intuition to guide us is really a new way of life, very different from what we have been taught in the past. At times it may feel uncomfortable or even a bit frightening.
