We discuss how to trust your intuition to help inspire your decision-making process in everyday life situations. Key Insights From Our Conversation: We begin the conversations exploring how the question “how am I being called to serve?” can be answered through "intuitive knowing," a process in which we listen to our intuition. Typically, with that answer comes a sense of expansion and a positive feeling. But soon we begin to hear the voice of the ego that second guesses our own intuition with words like: “you could never do that,” or “you don’t have enough money to do that.” This can thwart or challenge your intuitive sense around how you're being called to serve. So, is the guidance you are hearing that of your intuition or that of your ego? A good way to know this is to sense how the thought makes you feel. Do you feel expansive, positive, creative, or do you feel constricted, contracted and closed off to your creativity. Remember, the goal of the ego and pain body is to thwart your intuition if it does not feed the ego! Leo shares his experience at a recent meeting at work, how intuition was guiding his decision to participate, and the energy that kept him from contributing – the energy of internal doubt. Once he was able to let his intuition speak, there was an expansion of his ideas and the ideas in the room. How do you foster and nurture intuition? Greg shares a key insight from the works of Tolle – the body is a portal into the now. Unlike your mind, which can project a phantom self into the past and future, your body is completely grounded in the present moment. You body is fully anchored in the now. The key is to give your conscious attention, or your energy, to your body – instead of allowing you energy to be consumed in thoughts about the past and future. A fundamental practice is to give you attention to what Tolle describes as your “inner-body.” This spiritual practicing involves tuning into the inner energy field of the body and sensing an inner tingling sensation, or inner “aliveness.” (There is a video on the website that will guide you in the process of connecting to the inner body.) Intuition is a response of the body, the intelligence of the body and how it perceives the energy of another person, along with what is being spoken. The body interprets the vibration and the information. So trusting your intuition is really a process of trusting the intelligence of the body, even though the ego is generating thoughts that are second guessing your intuitive responses. The ego is trying to protect itself, and your intuition can be a threat to the ego. Awareness of your thoughts is key. A great practice to determine the source of your thoughts, whether your intuition or ego, is to ask the questions: what is the nature and quality of these thoughts. If they are expansive, foster creativity, connection and service, it would be a good guess they are coming from your intuition. If your thoughts are contractive, selfish, constrictive, fearful or limiting, they are probably emerging from the ego.  What experience are your thoughts creating? How can your intuition guide your productivity? Greg shares that with all the information coming at us in today’s world, using your intuition to evaluate the “value” of the information coming across your awareness will be an invaluable tool for increasing your personal productivity. In the past, you may have been able to look at each piece of information and analyze it, to really digest the information, but now there is just too much. It is far more effective to use your intuition to sense the value of what you are doing right now, and also how those actions resonate with how you are being called to serve. Greg also shares how your intuition can be of value in your dealings with clients. By sensing the state of your client, L. Aristimuno and G.
