INTUITION VS EGO!!!

Ego tries to protect you from failure and embarrassment. While it may seem like it has your best interest at heart, it doesn’t always. Still, it serves its purpose.

Logic can help you in life, until you run into something you didn’t see coming or have no information in your mental database to pull to the forefront.

Spirit guides won’t tell you what to do because it violates free will, but they will help you to better understand better choices to be made. Your guides have your best interest at heart, but you may not always like their guidance. They do their best to help you succeed in life.

Intuition has but a moment to get its message through. It will let you know when danger is near or when a critical decision is to be made. When you learn to listen to your intuition, there will be less life-altering situations taking place in your life.

Low vibrations work to stop you from moving forward in life and on your spiritual path. They will stop you from doing the things you know you need to do. They whisper negative thoughts in your mind that create low self-esteem, low self-worth, anxiety, and depression. Push them away or they will only take you down a road you do not wish to go.

EGO

The ego is a false identity that is rooted in fear. The underlying assumption is that the world is unsafe.

The ego assumes you live in a world of scarcity, which means you must compete to live the good life. In the eyes of the ego, the world is composed of winners and losers, rich and poor, successful and unsuccessful.

The ego’s focus is from the outside in. It must have external results to feel good—I will be happy when I have money, success and the house of my dreams.

The voice of ego comes from your head. It needs to justify itself to you through logic and it will engage you in a mental debate to prove that it’s right.

INTUITION

Intuition is the direct perception of truth. The underlying assumption is that you are perfectly safe and secure as you are.

Intuition knows that you live in a world of abundance and you need not look for happiness outside of yourself. It assumes there is plenty to go around, and that when you gain, so does everyone else.

Intuition comes from the inside out. It urges you toward joyful self-expression.

Intuition is heart-centered. It doesn’t bother with justification because it expects you to recognize it as truth. If you attempt to debate with it, it will merely give you the same answer again.

When your ego is speaking to you, the energy feels tense and contracted. With intuition, the energy is expansive and uplifting.

Here are a few simple examples that illustrate the difference:

• Intuition guides you to start a business that will help people. Ego urges you to start a business to get rich.

• Intuition guides you to release weight to become healthier. Ego pushes you to lose weight to look good at your high school reunion.

• Intuition guides you to ask a person on a date, so you can connect with someone and share your happiness. Ego pushes you to get a date, so you won’t be alone.

• Intuition guides you to buy a particular house because it speaks to your soul. Ego urges you to move forward with the purchase because you might not find another one that you like.

Although the guidance from either voice may sometimes be the same, you’ll attract vastly different outcomes depending on the intention behind your actions.

When you listen to the voice of intuition, you invite the flow of love, inner peace, and abundance into your life. When you pay attention to the voice of the ego, you invite fear, which fuels a scarcity and competitive mentality.

How to develop your intuition

To strengthen your intuition, start paying attention to things you would typically not attach any importance to. Notice the feelings you get and the thoughts that knock on the door of your mind that you might ordinarily dismiss.

Those “feelings” … those “hunches” … those “coincidences” … are all important messages from the universal mind, meant to guide you in the right direction. Once you start paying attention, you’ll be surprised by how often the voice of intuition tries to reach you during a day.

Plus, here are a couple of exercises to help hone your intuition:

1. Set a timer and spend 10 minutes meditating. Ensure that you will not be interrupted and silence all distractions.

When thoughts start to intrude on your quiet mind, as they inevitably will, don’t engage them. Just let them float up and out of your mind, leaving an empty space behind.

When the time is up, jot down the thoughts that invaded your quiet. Are they thoughts that often distract you from what you’re supposed to be doing? Do they concern matters of legitimate importance?

Start paying attention to recurring thoughts and messages that might be offering guidance or insight.

2. I often talk about the importance of creating and carrying a goal card. If you have one, pull it out now and ask yourself: Am I in love with what I wrote on this card?

Your intuition knows if you’re being true to yourself. If your heart doesn’t skip a beat at the thought of it … if you aren’t longing to be united with this result … then it’s time to find another.

The point of all this is to learn to hear and respond to the messages coming to you from the universal mind, which is the source of all truth and all answers.

When I first learned to tell my intuition apart from my ego, it was like, a light switch was turned on. I knew my intuition was there, I just didn't know it was my intuition. Now, this validated that YES, I should trust that first initial feeling.

I STOPPED SECOND GUESSING MYSELF. Now, things felt simpler in a way. I go with my gut and I accept whatever situation comes from it.

So many people struggle with this. You don't need to! I'm here to help you understand WHY trusting your intuition has such a big impact on your life. GO FOR IT BABY! (Contact me for additional information on the 'Crystal Consciousness Program'.
