Intuitive guidance is nothing special. It is something we all posses. We just need to understand it and learn how to use it.

Our intuitive guidance arises as a result of the energy we experience. Intuitive guidance is the information available to you before your mind steps in and manipulates it some way. Mind manipulates it by placing its judgements and/or interpretation of what is experienced and sensed.

Anything that manifests (seen or unseen) and/or experienced, whether experienced in mind and/or body, is the result of a flow of energy. There is a flow of energy which gives rise to the experience you have. Without a flow of energy there is no movement to have an experience. In being open to what we sense and feel, you can "know" and/or "perceive" we can focus our attention and awareness into or on what we are experiencing. That focus on what we sense gives rise to intuitive insights in our mind. That is, mind will characterizes what it is being experienced in the moment based on its past experiences. What your intuitive guidance presents to you, whether perceived as a feeling or a thought, word or image is only the best your mind can do to describe what you experience. Mind is characterizing everything we experience all the time. What surfaces into our consciousness is determined by the composite of our conscious and subconscious focus of our attention and awareness. By consciously choosing how we focus our attention and awareness we can access information about any topic. The question is whether or not we have the minimum set of requisite experience to understand what we sense for our mind to characterize it in a way we can understand it. .

It is at this point a we are at a juncture. At this moment mind steps in and either discards what surfaces or focus on it such that it becomes the dominate thought in our mind. Here mind acts as a filter. Based on habits of the past are determining what insight get into our conscious mind such that we recognize the information and are given the options of acting or not acting on it. However, if we are mindful and aware, we can begin to see the space between what arise as the characterization of energy by mind as a thought, feeling, word or image and mind stepping in and allowing it to pass or not pass into our attention to become the dominate thought. It is in this moment, this space between mind stepping in, is where we access the power of our intuitive guidance.

In any case, whatever feeling, thought, word or image, that arises will most probably be wrong or in error simply because mind has insufficient experience to properly characterize what is experienced. The insights we gain in mind are incorrect and at best approximations, unless we have the minimum requisite set of experiences to understand what we sense. This is why intuitive guidance seems to be accurate sometimes and at other times so inaccurate. This is also why mind discards information that does not seem to fit its belief structure and how it thinks things should be. Nevertheless, the direction provided by the intuitive guidance regarding the flow of energy manifesting the experience is correct and will be accurate.

What is presented by our intuitive guidance does provide you the direction you need to move to know and get the experience you need to understand what you are really experiencing. The intuitive guidance tells you the direction you need to go to either 1) align with the flow of energy that is manifesting, or will manifest, the desired object or experience; and/or 2) the direction you need to go to gain the minimum set of experiences to understand and/or experience the manifesting form.

The awareness of this understanding about intuitive guidance can be used to create anything you desire. Aligning with your intuitive guidance takes you on the path of least resistance for what you wish to create for it aligns with the flow of energy created by the intention you hold. Intuitive guidance is usually perceived to be intuition, body wisdom, and/or second knowing or other typical “sixth sense” abilities.

Accessing intuitive guidance (Top)

In needs to be understood, we can use our intuitive guidance to access any information that we desire and it will limit the information it provides to what we desire. However, our intuitive guidance will not provide us any information unless we ask. We ask by setting a clear intention or we carry a set of believe that opens our intuitive guidance for routine use. The information our intuitive guidance surfaces when we don’t not ask it anything in particular is only in response to the nonconscious intentions and direction we have set for our life. Without awareness, most of our response to life is survival, protection and keeping safe. Hence most individuals experience their intuitive guidance protecting them and keeping them safe.

Forms of intuitive guidance (Top)

Intuition (Top) is an awareness about situations and people that you for which you can find no rational way of knowing.

Body wisdom
(Top) is about body sensations with no physical discernable cause. Body wisdom, is also related to that inherent wisdom that grew us from an infant into an adult without the need of mind. This aspect of body wisdom is perfectly capable of guiding us to help fulfill our creative endeavors if we able to listen and follow it. (More on .... body wisdom)

Second knowing
(Top) is knowing something specific like facts or information that you have no way of logically knowing. For most, intuition and second knowing are one and the same. Their main difference is intuition typically has a “feel” or a feeling associated with the insight. Second knowing, is normally a clear mental insight usually without feeling.

Effectively using intuitive guidance (Top)

Creation is about taking what arises in the creative imagination and making it a physical reality - an object or experience in physical Creation. To effectively use our intuitive guidance we need to honor our intuitive guidance. We do so by holding your creative ability and our creative insights sacred. If we create real or imaginary action based on the intuitive insight, one moves towards and/or into alignment with the flow of energy and the understanding that gave rise to the intuitive insight. By honoring the intuitive guidance as discussed here, you are also honoring and embracing creativity and the creative process. Honoring intuitive guidance is discussed under that topic of the same name.

Developing intuitive guidance (Top)

To develop intuitive guidance, one needs to be open to feeling. To effectively use your intuitive guidance, you have to be open to feeling and what you feel. You body, what it feels and senses, is the doorway to being open to feeling. Your body is like an antenna. It sends energy out and it received energy. To improve your ability to sense the energy, you need to open yourself to feeling and what you body feels. You will need to become aware of the subtle feeling you get and being to understand why you get the feeling you got and what information is being picked up and which could be made available to you.

To being to develop your intuitive guidance, you can ask yourself, “What do I need to feel, what types and kinds of experience do I need to explore to be able to use the depth and breadth of my creative ability?” Become aware of what your intuition presents to you as to what you may need to do. Then honor the intuitive guidance that you get. Additionally you can develop a daily practice of feeling and opening yourself to feeling. For example, it could be to exposure yourself to different types and kind of sensual feeling experiences. It is also recommended you develop some type and kind of meditation practice that allows you to become mindful and aware of both your thoughts and your feelings. Meditation concepts and principles are discussed on the web site of the same name at meditation.creativeguidelines.info.

Major issue in opening oneself to feeling (Top)

The major issue in opening oneself to feeling is why we shut down our intuitive insights in the first place. For some of us, we use thinking as an addition to not allow ourselves to feel. To be open to feeling, you will find it necessary to face and deal with all the reasons why you shut down your ability to feel. Most often what you need to face will be those circumstances and memories of the past where you creative spirit was somehow thwarted in what it was choosing to create. This, of course, could be a journey unto itself and would require much more time and effort than what is required for any single creative endeavor.

However, you need not mount a full scale campaign to open yourself to feeling. You only need to address what your being presents to you in the moment as needing to be addressed to be open to what you need to feel to create what you desire. However, you cannot run away from it or suppress it. The past that surfaces in opposition to your creative effort is only what you need to deal with to create what you desire. You then simply need to face what arises one at a time. How you choose to face what you need to face, is your choice. The recommendation made here is to allow your intuitive guidance to tell you the best, safest and fastest way to face what arises.
