How To Follow Your Intuition – Trust 

Your intuition is like your inner navigation system, always working to move you along your life journey path. 
The push or pull felt from your intuition not only alerts of impending danger, but can be used to guide which step to take next along your path. Relying on your intuition in daily moments makes life much easier to navigate and ultimately helps you create and live your best life! 

Movie Star 

You are the screen writer star in your own movie. Think of emotions as your own personal movie, they provide you with your life context, your perspective, and lead you to the next important segment of your story. Those are  helpful on your life path. Like a movie, you are meant to experience your emotions through imagination, share discussion, healthy release, and other such healing methods. On screen you are not meant to live your emotions as if you are the movie itself.

Peace with Food

Intuitive eating is an approach that teaches you how to create a healthy relationship with your  mind, body, and food, where you ultimately become the expert of your own body.

You learn how to identify between physical and emotional feelings, and gain a sense of self-confidence through body wisdom.

It’s also a process of making peace with the relationship towards food—so that you no longer have constant “food-related anxiety” thoughts.  It’s knowing that your health and your worth as a person do not change, because you ate a food that you had labeled as “bad” or “fattening”.

The underlying premise of Intuitive Eating is learning to respond to your inner body signal cues, because you were born with all the wisdom you need for eating intuitively. On the surface, this may sound simplistic, but can be rather complex.

This inner wisdom is often clouded by years of dieting and food illusions that abound in the culture. Give yourself unconditional love and permission to eat.

When you tell yourself that you can’t or shouldn’t have a selective food, it can lead to intense feelings of detriment that build into unmanageable cravings and, often, bingeing When you finally cave – in to your forbidden food, eating will be experienced with such intensity, resulting in overeating, and overwhelming guilt.

Honor where you are at. Find ways to comfort, nurture, and resolve your issues without using food. Anxiety, boredom, anger are emotions we all experience throughout life. Each has its own trigger, and each has its own moderation. Food does not fix any of these feelings either does alcohol and other alter substances.

Intuitive eating is a philosophy of eating that makes you the ace of your body and its signals. It teaches that you are the best person – the only person – to make new loving and healthy choices.

Persephone and Pacific Northwest’s Winter

My winters for the past ten years have been while living in southern California, my winters were not very different from my summers. Although, I’m born and raised from New York, and east coast winters are intense! However, this year I found my own spiritual journey that had lead me to the Pacific Northwest where I found immense happiness– as well as my first true experience of living through a Pacific Northwest winter.

In Greek Mythology, there was a goddess named Persephone. She was a child of Zeus, the king of the Gods and Demeter, the goddess of Earth and nature. Persephone was wooed by many gods, but Demeter, ever the over protective mother rejected all their advances and eventually hid her daughter away. It was shortly after this that Hades, the god of the underworld abducted Persephone and swept her away to his kingdom. As Demeter desperately searched for her beloved daughter, the world began to change. Life came to a standstill. The flowers fainted away and died. The grasses faded away. Trees bore no fruit and the temperature turned antarctic. As Demeter’s anguish grew, earth continued to die and rest in peace. Zeus intervened and summoned Hades return Persephone to her mother. Before he agreed, Hades tricked Persephone into eating four pomegranate seeds, which effectively forced her to spend one month each year in Hades for every seed she’d eaten. When Demeter and her daughter were together, the Earth flourished with radiant vegetation and bright color, but for four months each year, when Persephone returned to the underworld, the earth once again became an infertile realm of darkness. This is an origin story to explain winter.

There is something about this season of winter that almost forces you to begin a process of turning inward, of reflecting upon the events prior to this slowed kapha activity.  Surely during this time, Demeter remembers happier times with her daughter.

This is a time of year when the world, and our own spirit, is renewed once more. It is a time of endings and new beginnings that fills our hearts with peace, joy, love and laughter. We are almost forced by Nature to spend more time with our beloved, with our friends and family, sharing our abundance with them.

Intuitive Living 

When you wake up in the morning, start your day by giving yourself permission to be intuitive. Remember, intuition is your natural state; therefore, you do not need to work at it, but rather allow it to express itself through you as You.

Intuition expresses itself through feelings – the language of the soul. By paying attention to how you feel, you become aware of your deeper Self and its guidance. If what you are doing or considering feels good, gives you a sense of inner rightness, chances are you are in alignment with your soul. 
The path of intuitive living is the path of trusting and believing in your Self. Spend time daily in silence and self-reflection. Meditation, journaling, yoga and time in nature all contribute to connecting with the quiet voice within. 
Honoring your intuition, honoring your true Self, takes great courage. Trust that nothing is revealed to you intuitively if it is not in your highest interest, even if that means making some tough choices (or easy choices) in your life. However your intuition guides you, it is always in service of your well-being. As much as it takes courage to act on your intuition, even before this, it can take courage to be honest with yourself and your situations. Therefore shine the light of truth into your heart and trust that your intuition is there only to serve you, even if it may appear otherwise to you and others. 

Life knows what you want more than you do. When you surrender, you will soon discover the magic that Life has in store!
