What is Intution and How do I use it?
Intuition is an incredible resource and gift that we have been given to help us live our best life.
Unfortunately, not many people know what it is or how to use it.
The word intuition means "in to you" in Latin.
Florence Scovel, a theologian, once said, "Intuition is the spiritual faculty that doesn't explain; it seemingly points the way."
It's also been said that intuition is your divine Spirit talking to you. If you will stop for a moment and acknowledge this, you will begin to realize the incredible perspective you have at your fingertips.
You have this very amazing power!
And you don't even have to get any special training to start using it.
All you need to do is raise your awareness about it and set your intention to harness it.Intuitive messages range from an inkling to a strong sign or message.
Your inner self is persistent and consistent.
It will keep trying to get your attention until you finally wise up!
An inkling is like a glimmer or passing feeling/ thought that comes from somewhere inside and usually proceeds a hunch or intuitive message.
A "hunch" is accurate information from a higher intelligence; therefore, you can rely on it.
An intuitive message ranges from hearing actual words, seeing a clear picture, or a deep inner knowing.
Some people experience intuition as a feeling, others a gut reaction, others will see images or have a dream, others hear an actual message.
Become familiar with how your inner self communicates with you.
Once you receive the message, check it out with your research and commonThe best ways to get in touch with your intuition are:1. Be quietPractice taking time out every day to experience silence.
Calm your mind with traditional or active meditation.
Release your need to think, analyze, and know everything.
The best information comes from the deep recesses of your soul.2. Be openOpen to the gift of intuition and accept what is has to tell you.
Many times, our ego thinks it has it "all figured out," but your true path may look very different than the one you are on.
Being open to new possibilities and ways of living is key.3. Be creativeThere are many ways to be creative, painting, writing, dancing, designing a website, etc.
Do something that helps you get into the "flow," that place where time seems to fly by and the work is leading you.
Creativity is an expression of your soul and goes hand-in-hand with intuitive guidance.4. Ask questionsWhen you ask yourself questions, you gain additional insight and clarity.
When you ask a question like "What is the next step I need to take?"
know that you already know what you need to know.
Trust yourself.
You already have everything you need inside.5. JournalWhen you write, you tap into thoughts, feelings, ideas and direction that you are not consciously aware of.
Writing allows the truth to come forth and is an easy way to gain insight from your inner self.You can further develop your intuitive guidance by preparing yourself by gathering the necessary information and experiences to provide more of an opportunity for your intuition to surface.
Intuition cannot be forced; you need to allow it.
After loading up your mind with information about the issue, give your intuition time to work on it.
And then become open to the answer.
You will likely experience an
"Aha" moment, which is a moment of instant awareness, where the answer sprouts from "out of the blue." If you have an important decision to make and are not 100% sure about something happening, stop and think before making a decision.
Usually this is your intuition trying to tell you that something is not quite right.
Likewise, if you feel that you should go for it, do it, so you don't miss a valuable opportunity.Intuition is your very own best friend.
It is always there for you.
It waits patiently for you.
It gives the absolute best advice, and all you have to do is ask!
Like any good friendship, all it takes to nurture it is a little time and attention.
If you decide to be close and intimate with your intuition, I promise that your life will transform into something wonderful..

Gift your Dad a Wild Life this Father?s Day
(ContentDesk) June 8, 2005 -- Holidays like Father's Day always present the "what to give Dad" gift dilemma.
The wildlife experts at International Bird Rescue Research Center are hoping kids will look beyond ties and toolboxes and log on to their website to adopt a live duck, heron, egret or pelican for dad.
Best part is he doesn't have to care for it.
Adopters don't actually get the bird, but they do get a beautiful official certificate for the species they adopt, with the band number of their bird and the date and place of release.
With over 500 orphans at the center, and another one thousand expected, IBRRC's the adoption program is a way to help defray the cost of raising thousands of orphaned waterfowl so they can be returned to the wild.
Every bird IBRRC releases gets a Federal band put on its leg.
The number on the band identifies the bird for life.
"What's so great about this program is that it allows the public to...

Friendship- Do You Value?
Friendship is a gift of God. Some of us are blessed with good friends. But as it happens, these friendships are taken for granted in some cases and not valued. It is similar to a case of two couples. Say one has no child even after many years of marriage and the other has many children, more than they can manage.
What do you think? Will the couple with many children value the children as much as the couple which has none? Everything is relative in life. We value what we don't have and give less value to what is freely available with us. Friendship is one such relationship. Please view some friendship screensavers and friendship wallpapers and then let us continue with our discussion. Why should we value friendships? What qualities doe a good friend bring in our relationship that makes the friendship so valuable?...

Buying A Romantic Gift For Him
Buying gifts for a man is easy if you know what his interests are. And while many of the gifts that men like won't necessarily qualify as 'romantic' - at least from a woman's point of view - this is the time to be a little flexible in your approach.What's the point of buying him a designer bath set when he'd rather have a new pair of running shoes?After all, the idea behind gift giving is that you give the person something they'll treasure, or at least appreciate. And while it might not be what you'd want for yourself, this is about him. So maybe it's time to expand the definition of a romantic gift.So what do men want?We once overheard a male friend complaining, "Just once I'd like to open a Christmas gift and find a great set of wrenches instead of socks and a silk bathrobe!" Another man we read about lamented, "Wouldn't it be great to have my girlfriend say to me, 'I love it when you turn up for dinner with grease under your fingernails after working in your garage. And I hope you...
