Trust Your Intuition

When Mike left town on Saturday our dryer stopped working, like something was jammed in the motor. Meanwhile a major stench started filling our laundry room getting worse each day. I had my suspisions so waited until Mike got home late Monday night. He opened the piping leading to the dryer and sure enough, found that a snake had crawled into the machine, got caught in the motor, and died. It was overtaken by maggots, it was decomposing, and it had become the most disgusting thing I have ever smelled.

I have always prided myself on being a strong, independent woman; but was very glad I was able to leave this for my husband to deal with.

Hmmm... so what does this have to do with happy life yoga? Well, something inside of me started connecting the stench and the broken dryer, even though I had never experienced anything like that before. Luckily I trusted my gut, and let my husband "investigate the murder scene" rather than I stumble upon the unfortunate experience of the poor snake. Do you ever notice that feeling in your stomach when you do something that scares you, or when you are trying to make a decision and one choice just leaves you with an upset or uneasy stomach. I believe that is your gut, your intuition, talking to you. Sometimes I can hear it clearly, and sometimes I am so out of tune with myself, that I barely feel the intuitive glimpses pulsing through my body...

I encourage you to experiment with ways to dive closer into your intuitive self. When you feel the tiny glimpses of intuition (maybe that's a queasy stomach, maybe its your fluttering heart, whatever it might be) pause, listen to them, and FEEL them, before you move forward. You'll then be in a better position to do what is right for you in your life right NOW.

I once heard somewhere that if you don't feel good, then you didn't make the right decision. I can tell you now, I feel GREAT about letting Mike find that snake on his own! :) Thanks hunny!!

Peace, and trust your gut!
