Hmmmm...sound good to you? Sounds pretty damn good to me! But there's a bit of a "catch". Uh huh...this is where you can say "NOW what in the hell does that mean?!?" Bare with me here so I can explain.
Here's an example:
You have a dream/vision that you are going to become deathly ill with something like cancer..and you can CLEARLY see the cancer in a specific part of your body...say your throat or mouth. You wake up or snap to with this pit of dis pare in your stomach because every fiber of your being is telling you that what you "saw" was TRUE and REAL. So you get yourself all worked up thinking, feeling, etc that you are going to get this Cancer but you just don't know when. I don't know about you..but that would freak me the hell out! Especially the not knowing the timeline! And I would probably make myself sick from the worry of it all. Wouldn't you?
So what if I told you that your Intuition was trying to tell you something BUT it had NOTHING to do with cancer, or dying or getting sick?
Look at your dream/vision from a SYMBOLIC stand point. It's MUCH different than looking at it from a literal view. From a literal view you would come to believe you were going to get cancer in the mouth or throat. From a SYMBOLIC view...your intuition is trying to tell you that you are not SPEAKING your mind or what you feel in your HEART. And the energy is literally sitting there in your mouth and throat. You are NOT honoring yourself in ways of sharing how you feel. Make sense?
You have a dream or vision that you are going to lose someone you love either by death, separation or divorce.
Perhaps SYMBOLICALLY your intuition is trying to get you to deal with past issues of self worth. The not feeling like you are allowed to be happy and have companionship and love. Perhaps you need to deal with the ROOT cause of that so that you can move forward without fear.
And one final example:
Every fiber of your being is telling you NOT to let go of something. Perhaps it's that you feel very strongly about NOT leaving a current job, or about moving to a new area. Or perhaps you feel VERY strongly about other areas in life but yet you are getting all sorts of "Hints" from the universe that your path is really a different one but you haven't been seeing them clearly. Or you could be just so stuck on a specific path that you refuse to see any other option. In either case, make sure you are sitting down and seeing WHY you feel so strongly one way or another. Is there an underlying reason or cause? Maybe you don't want to move on from a current situation not because you feel you are meant to be in there but maybe you are struggling with change or moving on. Look back in your life. Have there been situations that left you feeling unsure because a huge changed happened? (Most everyone has) If we don't deal with the emotions from the situations that happened in our life it tends to "follow" us throughout our lives popping up in VERY unexpected ways.
Until Next Time....
Much Love, Light N Gratitude
