    “Intuition usually arrives as a feeling and it will continue arising until you follow its guidance or until you fully suppress it. Intuition is our inner compass, it helps us live a life of learning and fulfillment.”

    Yung Pueblo

      “‘Turst your feelings!’ —But feelings are nothing final or original; behind feelings there stand judgments and evaluations which we inherit in the form of… inclinations, aversions. The inspiration born of a feeling is the grandchild of a judgment—and often of a false judgment!—and in any event not a child of your own! To trust one’s feelings—means to give more obedience to one’s grandfather and grandmother and their grandparents than to the god which are in us: our reason and our experience.”

      Friedrich Nietzsche, via The Daily Laws (Page 387)

        “Regard yourself as a cloud, in the flesh, because you see, clouds never make mistakes. Did you ever see a cloud that was misshapen? Did you ever see a badly designed wave? No, they always do the right thing. But, if you will, treat yourself for a while as a cloud or a wave and realize that you can’t make a mistake whatever you do. Because even if you do something that appears totally disastrous, it will all come out in the wash somehow or another. Then through this capacity you will develop a kind of confidence. And through confidence you will be able to trust your own intuition.”

        Alan Watts, Taoism: Way Beyond Thinking

        Paulo Coelho Quote on Listening To Your Heart

          “You will never be able to escape from your heart.  So it is better to listen to what it has to say.”

          Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

          Beyond the Quote (52/365)

          One of the greatest gifts I have received from my sister is the gift of a better connection to my own heart.  I don’t know anybody that is more in tune with their heart and has followed their heart’s path than she.  I see this now more than ever in how she has navigated some tough, unconventional life situations that didn’t have, well, conventional wisdom or many paths to refer to for help. When faced with unconventional situations that stray from a path that might be considered “normal,” many would try to suppress or escape from the feelings out of fear or anxiety and stick to the “norm” anyway—but not her.  From as early as I can remember, she has listened to her heart even in the most challenging of times and has been able to make the tough decisions which have led her to the beautiful path she is on now.  And what’s even more beautiful, is how this has manifested in her ability to help those around her too.

            “I might intuit that someone feels uneasy or distrustful, and so I would focus on meeting that person’s eyes or speaking warmly and directly to them.  Or my gut may feel tight, in which case I’d scan for signs that someone isn’t being fully honest and exercise greater caution in how much information I share.  Often I feel someone’s negative, needy energy, and I strive like hell to avoid that person or minimize the impact.  I will leave the room when I sense the negativity of a person who has me in his or her radar.  If I can’t excuse myself politely for some reason, I visualize a protective shield surrounding my body that won’t allow any negative energy through.  This works well to keep me balanced in meetings.” ~ Mark Divine, The Way of the Seal
