Intuitive listening is different from everyday hearing
To listen intuitively, you have to come inside. Close your eyes and quiet your thoughts. Breathing quietly, centering the breath in the heart, calms the nervous system. The body settles.

To listen intuitively, you have to come inside - have to close your eyes and quiet your thoughts. Breathing quietly, centering the breath in the heart, calms the nervous system. The body settles.
Now, the inner senses open. You become more sensitive to other kinds of listening, other kinds of sensing. You listen to the silence, which, as you discover, isn’t silent at all. Rather it is spacious - less cluttered with thinking. It is empty - yet filled with space.
As you listen honestly, prayerfully, willingly, you become receptive. What arrives is surprising, often amusing. It’s not what thinking tells you you ‘should’ hear but what sensing detects, what knowing knows. Something is speaking. Perhaps it has always been speaking. Now you can hear.
At the onset of my own journey with this kind of listening, I had many concerns about who was speaking to me, what ‘they’ wanted from me.
I recorded those conversations in my notebooks. Last year, I began to share them in The Flow Journals. As you will see there, my early encounters with the Guides were bumpy and I was uneasy - testing them at every turn.
The Guides patiently and clearly communicated with me. Offering the deepest wisdom I have ever known. I received this wisdom with my entire body - with all of my senses. Sometimes, I ‘heard’ the messages. Sometimes, I ‘saw’ them, images flashing in my mind’s eye.
Many times, the messages were followed by Illuminated Experience - signs which flowed and flowed from the world around me. They guided me to books whose writings confirmed what they were telling me. They offered astonishing proof, through direct encounters.
Over time, I began to live ‘inside of’ their message. I came to understand that what I perceive as ‘messages’ are actually emanations from a field of consciousness - a field of welcome, love and blessing. They are guardians and keepers of that field. At the same they ARE that field. This is a concept which they showed me - and which I am just beginning to grok myself. I use the word ‘grok’ here because, while I understood what the Guides were telling me, it took me a while to actively engage it, to live it.
To live inside of their field. As I came to trust the Guides and their message of love and blessing, the flow between us became more clear. The confirmation of the messages a daily occurence.
It was then that I decided to open my notebooks and share the journey with you. I am doing this for several reasons. First, I want to demonstrate that it’s not unusual to feel strange at the beginning of your encounter with intuitive listening. I want to demonstrate, also, that we must challenge and test the guidance we receive. It’s the only way we can discern, for ourselves, the vibratory qualities of the messenger and the message. Finally, I want to deliver the message. The primary message, of We are here with you and the many lessons they offer lessons with it - on embodiment, on presence, on wellness of mind and body, on freedom.
I want to offer you a glimpse into their world, just as they’ve given that glimpse to me.
