Over 52 weeks I will be learning all about how to live and work creatively. My teachers are Aussie birds and animals. It is week seven and the creative force has produced the Kangaroo to build on the lessons that Australian birds, animals and habitat have been initiating.
The kangaroo is a marsupial, meaning the female possesses a frontal pouch where her prematurely birthed offspring complete their development outside the womb. Watch this video and you will see how the infant must instinctively ascend their mother’s belly and crawl into the nurturing pouch.
The lesson of Kangaroo is to make space for intuition. It is time to enhance our natural instincts and allow them to guide us. When we let our intuition guide us our over-analyzing tendencies diminish. When we learn this lesson, movement becomes freer and fortunate synchronicity increases.
Making Space for Intuition: Try These
♣ Sitting in sacred silence and meditation in the morning to connect with your inner world. As Ralph Waldo Emerson says, “Let us be silent, that we may hear the whispers of the gods.” In the mornings, I enjoy sitting at the kitchen table in the sunlight, eating my breakfast mindfully and in silence. Along with meditation, these two things help to attune to my intuition before my day begins.
♣ Scheduling in gaps of time where you don’t make any plans, but follow your intuition. Sundays are my days for this. I like to do whatever I feel intuitively guided to do that day and really try to not making any plans. I love sleeping in when it feels right or rising early when the energy in my body gets me up.
♣ Dialogue with your Soul, asking for her needs, desires, what it wants to experience today. Listen intently. Be curious. Ask questions.
♣ Take your time back from being busy to creating intentionally. Review your commitments and check in to see if they align or you’re just doing them out of obligation.
♣ Drive without music. Rather than filling it up with music or talk radio listening to everyone else blare messages into your head (oh and I love driving and singing so it’s definitely not a bad thing), at least once a week turn it all off. Make your car an intuitive spaceship.
♣ Write to liberate your Soul. Give your thoughts some wings and journal freely, with no agenda, everything that’s on your mind.
♣ Creating the space for your intuition allows her to show up and shine. How can you make room to hear your inner voice? What ways can you begin letting your intuition guide you each day?
♣ Make room to receive.
