In my newest release, Thrive: Living a Self-Healed Life, I share many thoughts and practices that surround the topic of mindfulness. Some people believe that Mindfulness is completely about meditation and that can be a huge deterrent especially if you are someone who has a hard time sitting still for any length of time.

If you truly want to practice Mindfulness and incorporate it into your daily routine, you have to be willing to become “in tune” to your intuitions and inner wisdom. You already experience being in tune when you get the butterflies in your stomach or the “gut” instincts you feel from time to time. Many people refer to this "tuned-in" feeling as their intuition.

What is intuition? Intuition seems to defy logic or any normal process of reasoning or previous knowledge. You usually have feelings of intuition in a moment’s notice.

Intuitions come to us in all forms: feelings, warnings or danger, a dream.

In order to deal with these intuitions, you have to make a conscious decision to focus on them when they happen. Clear your mind and try to answer the questions your mind is coming up with. Look for signs. Meditate on it to get a clearer understanding.

Mindful Intuition means practicing meditations that help you connect with your inner wisdom and/or intuition. Relax your body before you begin your Mindfulness session. Completely focus on every inch of your body while at the same time relaxing each part. Start at your head and go all the way to your toes.

After you relax each part, allow yourself to be taken on a journey. Where are you going? Where do you want to allow yourself to be taken? Relax. Focus on whatever is taking place in this calm, quiet place.

Stop and observe a moment of silence. Think about your Mindful intuition.

Journal about your Mindful Intentions. Were you able to relax? What did you do to stay focused? What smells, sounds, colors, memories, thoughts, feelings, mental pictures or body sensations did you discover?

Has intuition been a large part of your life? Have you always followed your instincts/ intuition. What are some times when you wish you had or hadn’t allowed your intuition to take over?

How do your intuitions come to you? Thoughts? Dreams? Journal about anything you can remember that has to do with this session.

Many people refer to their intuition as their “gut instinct. And what I know for sure is that our gut never lies. We just need to pay attention.
