spend time in nature

Today’s unique date symbolizes the truth.  Your truth is found by listening to your intuition, gut feeling or inner voice.  We all are intuitive, we just have to develop our ability to tap into it and listen.  Intuition comes from our heart and right brain function.  Below are ways to find your own answers and guidance.

9 Ways to Develop Your Intuition Using Your Right Brain

1. Be alone in silence – Each day make time for yourself and sit in silence.  Even if it’s driving home in the car with the radio off.  The less external distraction, the better we can listen internally
2. Deep breathing – Your breath is the most important thing in your life; you can’t live without it!  Deep, conscious breathing calms and relaxes your mind and body.  It is always available when you need it, especially when feeling stressed or anxious, so remember to use it.
3. Clear your mind – Write your thoughts and feelings down on paper. This allows for a deeper understanding, a clearer picture and a clearer mind.  Try this: write a question down before you sleep and when you wake start writing to see what comes out. Other great ways to clear your mind are Yoga, Tai-chi and Qigong.

4. Meditate – You can use the above steps to prepare yourself for meditation by relaxing into your breath and clearing your mind.  If you are new to meditation, sit with your spine straight and focus on your breathing and the sensations in your body.  When thoughts arise, watch them float by without attaching to them.
5. Spend time in nature – Connect with Mother Nature alone without your iPod, allow your creativity and joy to flow.

6. Create and use your senses – Your right brain engages when you use your 5 senses.  Do what you enjoy: cook, draw, dance, sing, and listen to music.
7. Listen to your body and trust yourself – If something doesn’t feel right to you or if you feel a pain in your body around a situation or person, pay attention because your body doesn’t lie.
8. Drink water throughout the day – Dehydration not only contributes to illness but it can fog up your brain.  Water helps you stay clear.
9. Write down synchronicities – These “coincidences” are signs to draw meaning from.  Trust yourself to know what these signs mean to you; use your intuition.
