Exercise Bike? Toning Up My Intuition

exercise bikeIt’s free at last! Today I have liberated my exercise bike from underneath a pile of clothing, a border of boxes and files and a wall of CDs. Yes, creating sacred space has been going on again. Uncovering my exercise bike got me thinking about the other exercises I do.

Freeing up my exercise bike means that I can use it again. Now I have to get myself back into a routine that, I confess, died a long while ago. I have to be disciplined, focused and determined. Fairly easy on a positive day but much harder when my world is out of sorts. The same thing can be said about my intuition. Developing my natural ability to tune into the energy around me was easy when I was trying to get the connections to my Guides. But how to keep it going when the communication is fairly clear and accurate? That’s when I have to get on my intuitive bike. Especially on those days when it feels like my Guides have stepped back completely.

I know they haven’t. But I do occasionally play a ‘tit for tat’ game with them when my childish streak gets to the surface. It’s as if I am challenging them to be the first to break the silence. The silence that actually drives me mad. Often I find that they have gone a little distant because they want me to make more effort. To get on my exercise bike, so to speak, and work harder to get the connection. My intuition is a group of muscles just like my physical body. Those intuitive muscles need a good work out on a regular basis to keep them doing their job. So my Guides set me a fitness schedule and I try to follow it. Because I know in the end it will make the communication even better.

So imagine me on my intuitive bike, if you will. Or if that thought is too scary imagine yourself in the intuition gym. Trying out each exercise to help you get better at reading energy.

Remember that it starts with a warm up. I like to do a short meditation so that I have stepped back from my everyday life. Then comes a bit of cardio to raise my energy vibration. Sometimes it’s saying a mantra. Other times I sing. Or visualise the pure white universal energy filling me up so that I am at the best energy level to make a connection. Once I feel the flow of higher energy I start to do some stretching, pushing gently with my intuitive psychic senses to find out if I can see, hear and sense more detail in the conversation being exchanged. I’m building on my natural senses – my core – and finding more balance in the flow of the energy.

My Guides are also helping me by switching vibrations around, using the senses I’m not as strong in and varying the amount of energy they feed into the connection. They encourage me to sense as much as possible whilst maintaining the connection through the ups and downs of the signals. When I’ve got the communication balanced and am picking up what they want me to they also switch into weight training. Sometimes I groan when I realise that they have added extra layers of information. They want me to ‘translate’ more of the energy. And then some more. Finally I get to warm down. Another meditative state to allow my human body and Spirit to come back into the three dimensional reality where we actually spend most of our lives.

Thank you exercise bike. I will be setting off on you again very soon. That means I’m also due another stint in the intuition gym working at my mediumship. That’s the excitement of developing an ability. You never know how far you can develop and I want to see how far I am able to get in this life. I hope you will join me int he intuition gym soon. It’s always an interesting work out!

Sacred Space: Connect To Your Intuition

sacred spaceI’ve spent a focused and enjoyable day clearing clutter out of my work space. Watching the boxes empty. Recycling, gifting, filing and arranging. It’s all part of my effort to create a sacred space. The place I can be comfortable connecting to my intuition.

Because when I open up to the energy information around me I want to have a peaceful and positive vibe. So spending time going through my old stuff has been a great first step. As I’ve looked through each bundle of papers, memorabilia and objects I have been asking myself what it represents. Is what I’m looking at positive, significant energy? Because my sacred space has to boost me on days when the energy is low vibrational. Is the item or piece of paper any part of my current life? Sometimes I hold on to things that were right for me when I was a different energy person. Letting coasters, pens, thank you cards and photos go clears my space for the me I am today. And more especially the me I want to become.

My sacred space is emerging from under the clutter precisely because I am tuning in to my intuition too. Sensing the energy of what I’m keeping and checking that it matches my hopes and dreams. It matters to me that my papers are tidy in files. I want to have an underlying structure because my life is often very fluid. So being able to put my hands on something the instant I’m prompted to is a great gift to myself. I am also checking what crystals and spiritual objects I have dotted around my scared space. I recently took a good look at all of my tarot and oracle cards to make sure I was only keeping those that would serve me in the future. And I have chosen some of my own channelled intuitive art to brighten my walls too.

Tomorrow I will be continuing creating my sacred space with some more clearing out. Then I can start smudging and finish off with a sound bath and some incense. Finally I have found an easy chair I want to use when I’m sitting in the silence listening to my Guides. There will be cushions. And my space will be complete. What is your sacred space like?

Relaxation: House Cleaning Worked For Me

RelaxationAnyone who knows me will be aware that I’m not the best at housework. I avoid it like the plague. Unless, of course, relaxation is also involved. Today I’ve spent quite a few hours relaxing whilst sorting out my cupboards.

When I closed down my Centre I had a lot of stuff. And not many ideas what to do with it all. I gifted some, filled up bags for charity, took a storage unit and ended up still with lots of stuff. All of what remains found its way into my home. It was good to be away for the holidays because it seemed like every bit of floor space at home was covered in stuff. Piles and piles of things to be sorted and stored. Or, better yet, given away. Since I’ve been home again I have wanted to get on with the organising. But I hate housework. So I talked to myself about the relaxation to be had from knowing all of my cupboards were in order.

How wonderful it would be for everything to be in its place. And how fantastic to find anything I was looking for without a three day search. If all the items were grouped, stacked, and stored in sensible places. But where to start. I have to confess I’m a bit of a dabbler with housework. I start one place, get distracted and then end up with disruption in every room. Or more chaos to be exact. How could this massive tidy up include relaxation? And produce some sort of order for me? I set out with a great game plan. I had things to take to the tip. So that was number one task. Then I had clothing to dry from a massive bout of washing (poor washing machine) so that was task number two.

By the time I was considering what next, the relaxation of having completed two things was steadying my nerves. So I started in on the food cupboard.

It felt really peaceful to be clearing out of date items, wiping the shelves and reorganising the supplies more logically. So peaceful that I moved onto the cupboard under the sink. It looked fantastic when I had finished. That relaxed me even more. Feeling very chilled about this whole housework/throwing things away exercise I sorted out four drawers, a display cabinet, my storage cupboard and the bathroom cupboard. Each brought me a surge of excitement as they bowed to my organising energy and got tidy.

My work desk is now clear. My clothes are hanging up or put away. Five charity shops have had a donation today. I have more rubbish for the tip. And I have also managed to hang some of my own artwork in my home. My relaxation comes from knowing that I am clearing my sacred space. making an environment where I can live and work in positive energy. Although I still have more sorting to do I feel like I’ve made a good start. And I’ve recognised those things that represented stuck energy. Even better, I am happy to move them out of my home into new places.

Hand on heart I have to say I still don’t like housework. Because it takes up time, I suppose. Yet a clean and gleaming house is a wonderful energy to be in. Not necessarily perfectly tidy. But under control. In a world where so much is out of my control my relaxation comes from knowing I have this tiny bit of my life sorted.
