Mindfulness + Intuition

We, clinicians, we all have our stuff. 

The “baggage” we carry around that we don’t like to acknowledge…

Our unhealed wounds from childhood and our tendency to react from them…

You know… normal human things.  ❤️

At our disposal, we have the profound practice of mindfulness as a way to not only bring greater awareness, compassion, and healing to our wounded selves, but also to connect with our deeper knowing. 

“Mindfulness is the act of paying attention, on purpose to the present moment, just as it is.”

- Jon Kabit-Zinn, PhD

Once we develop a relationship with the chatter of our minds - and the wounds and habits stemming from past experiences - through the regular practice of mindfulness, we can more easily separate out what is intuition versus ego. 

Mindfulness then becomes a bridge that allows us to go deeper… to listen to and trust the intuitive information available to us at any moment. To be able to show up in our lives and work with more clarity, ease, and confidence. 

If you are interested in cultivating a relationship with your intuitive self, consider mindfulness as a foundational practice. To get started, to recommit, or go deeper with your practice, you might enjoy this article I wrote on mindfulness a few years back. 

As always, please feel free to leave your comments below or join me in the Intuitive U. Community for Clinicians, a free, private Facebook group. 

I would love to hear from you and get to know you more!
