How My Intuition Came Alive - Part Two

From Muscle Testing to Inner Knowing

I was standing at the pantry door, little finger and thumb pressed together to do a muscle test. The question was clear in my mind. Which homeopathic remedy would benefit A___? Please give me a change of indicator. My eyes landed on the homeopathic vials one at a time, waiting for an answer. Typically, my finger and thumb would involuntarily separate on the correct remedy. And then… nothing, a feeling of confusion. Had I lost my connection to the information that usually flowed in?

Then I heard a voice say, “You already know.”

People are often curious about how I do what I do when it comes to getting intuitive hits and yes/no signals. Until now, I’ve resisted explaining it. Not because it's a secret. Mainly because I haven't got a clear way to articulate it. It’s a very internal and personal experience which has evolved, very slowly, over a twenty year period.

So here goes. I’m going to try to describe how I function as a person dedicated to living from intuitive wisdom.

The truth is, I’m in a constant dialogue with my inner voice and my body. To me, they’re one and the same. Let’s begin with a basic but essential daily experience such as choosing what to have for breakfast. Not instantly sure? I check in by taking my awareness to the centre of my chest. I get an upward surge of energy in my solar plexus area for ‘yes’ and a draining downwards or empty feeling for ‘no’.  I simply think, muesli and receive a response. If it’s yes, I go no further, if it’s no I might think, eggs, response – nope. Hmm, avocado on toast? I keep going until I get a ‘yes’ feeling. This is my life and, it takes three or four seconds.

First, I followed a whim

Maybe I should back it up a bit and tell you how I got to this place of connection and trust in my body. It began properly in 2007 when I studied Touch for Health kinesiology for a year.

I was feeling disconnected from my professional life as a psychologist and eager to move in a new career direction. Our kids were turning five and three and I was feeling ready to have a meaningful working life to focus on again. It was my husband who suggested I study kinesiology and serendipitously, my very own kinesiologist, Jill had decided to run the training for the first time in years.

It wasn’t as though it was a burning ambition but I certainly loved the modality and had a passion for complimentary therapies. So, in I leapt. That very first day when we learnt how to muscle test, I was captivated. It was a full body YES! So I proceeded to drink in the teachings and find chances to practice on family and friends.

A year later I was seeing one or two people a week for Touch for Health balances and growing in my confidence as a conduit for healing. I also completed an online course in homeopathy, attended my first Australian Bush Flower Essence workshop and began using the essences with myself, family and clients.

I was also voraciously reading books such as The Breakthrough Experience by John Demartini, The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle and Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman. I also jumped on board with a brand new way of learning - remember it was 2008. Online webinars and summits! Oh my goodness, the content I soaked up on everything from the mind body connection to Pleiadian light language. I was introduced to people like Gary Zukav, Joe Dispenza, Esther and Jerry Hicks, Byron Katie and Jon Kabat-Zinn.

Change often begins in tiny moments

Back to that day in the kitchen. I paused and realised that beneath the physical signal of the muscle test, there’d been this yes/no feeling in my body. I was being challenged to begin relying on that inner voice/sensation. To go straight to the source.

But if it wasn’t for the guidance of an important healer and mentor, and the power of flower essences, I wouldn’t be writing this, because it took me years to trust this inner knowing. I actually felt like running away from it half the time. But then, the Universe delivered a dream in the form of a move to the country, and just enough clients each week to test out my skills and eventually, in 2012, I felt I was getting somewhere.

By then, I’d ditched the massage table and most of the Touch for Health protocols and turned to my counselling skills to provide spiritual guidance and energy healing with my hands, based purely on channelled messages. That’s when things got interesting and my skill set took another leap forward…
