Chapter 63: Listen to your inner voice “The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.” Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein already knew about the great gift our intuition can become for
us! Listen to your inner voice, go with your hunches. It’s not easy to distinguish
your intuition from the “other” little voice in your head – the one that comes
from rationality and often tells you what you should do or can’t do. You will
need to practice a little. Start with little things. For example, which road to take
to work each morning, or whether to take your sunglasses with you although it’s
a totally cloudy day. I remember practicing my intuition when I went to high
school. There were two ways to get to school and both had a train crossing with
trains coming from different directions (both train crossings were very rarely
closed at the same time). I made it a game to consult with my inner voice which
way to go - sometimes following the intuition, and sometimes going against it -
just to get to stop in front of the closed train crossing. Some weeks ago I was
driving on the German Autobahn and I had two options to get to my destination.
I wanted to take one road, but I had a very strong hunch to take the other one,
even though it looked very crowded. Thirty minutes later I heard on the radio
that there was a 25 km traffic jam on the other autobahn! We would have been
stuck right there! I thanked my inner voice right away…! You probably already
have experienced intuition. Did it ever happen to you that you thought of a
person and just a second later the phone rings and it’s that person? Or you think
of somebody and a minute later you run into them at the shopping center? The
more you practice and trust in this inner voice, the stronger it gets, the more
results you are going to see, and the easier it will be to distinguish from the other
little rational voice in your head. It’s amazing! Meditation has been proven to be
a great tool to get closer to your intuition. Just sit still for five or ten minutes and
listen to what’s coming up.
