FOR ERIC AND LILY AND THE I AM THAT IS ALL OF US

An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life

A fight is going on inside me, he said to the boy. It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.

One is EVIL he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, grief, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, self-doubt and ego.

The other is GOOD he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.

This same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other person, too.

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, Which wolf will win?

The old chief simply replied, The one you feed.

Youve probably felt the power of your own intuition far more than you realise. Perhaps you havent been able to name it because you cant see, touch or hear it. Or perhaps you know it as something different it may feel to you like a gut instinct or pull. Or a kind of instinctive knowing but you cant work out precisely where this knowing and its all seeing wisdom comes from. However it feels to you, you are now ready to claim it as your own and use as your greatest guide for living and leading your life!

So, HUGE CONGRATULATIONS! Youve hit that sweet spot of change where you know within you that there is more out there. Its a feeling that you have, alongside an inner awareness, that you are far more powerful than you and others give you credit for, and that you have the ability to harness and control more than you have been led to believe. Perhaps youve become tired and frustrated from wandering around in the dark, not being able to pinpoint why, and to that I say GOOD! Its time to dive in and teach yourself (yes, INTUITION is moving inwards to teach yourself) something that can change and even heal your life on all levels be it emotionally, mentally and/or physically.

You are your greatest superpower if there is one thing you should take from this book, it is this. Its not just a punchy slogan or an Instagram post, its the truth. My intuition tells me youve picked up this book because you are curious about your inner power, that inner voice your intuition. That you are ready to learn, to explore and grow to empower yourself to your fullest potential!

The good news is, as in all things intuition, you dont need to worry or wait for the right teacher to arrive because YOU are your teacher. Thats exciting news, but maybe its also slightly terrifying because no one can teach you how to be you. Sure they can guide you but, let me tell you that in this sense, you are your greatest guide please remember that life only shapes us and we have the power to learn and unlearn whats holding us back from knowing and honouring who we truly are.

If you feel that you are not ready to trust yourself or love yourself the best that you can right now, worry not. To take that much responsibility on, you need a hand to hold and thats all part of the process. Reaching out to intuition is about learning to trust yourself, which in turn is about self-love!

Listen to your intuition its on your side

Intuition is the road map for the soul, our most reliable guide and the voice of truth. Intuition is a powerful second breath that moves through our body and our being, silently guiding and leading us. But we often choose not to listen to intuition or become disconnected from it, allowing its voice to become crowded out by the noise of modern life, our ego and its fears.

Despite all this, we will still catch echoes of our intuition. Its that soft and subtle voice that whispers to you, often disguised as your own, the voice within you that you never quite learned to trust because they dont teach that at school (and they really should!). Its that gut reaction or that kick in the gut, sent as if by magic to guide you to what you need and away from what you dont.

Our intuition is an intellect, a power, an energy that uses our whole body and its senses as its muscle, mind and voice. Intuition is not just for the special or the few. We all are intuitive, each and every one of us, and the secret to understanding it comes from learning what it means to you. By connecting with it, speaking to it, nurturing and developing your relationship with it, just as you would with a beloved friend, it will become your greatest strength, come rain or shine.

Our intuition can, more often than not, feel like something that remains dormant until something painful or shocking crosses our path and our ability to understand its power, and decipher its language, increases exponentially, almost out of nowhere in that moment. We become somewhat superhuman, empowered and elated, as it holds us lovingly in its grip while we power through the crisis.

Now this may sound dramatic, but intuition tends to come to full force in the middle of a crisis. Thats most likely when and how you will first remember hearing or feeling it at its feistiest when something just doesnt feel right. It sings louder the closer to the edge you are getting because thats when it needs your attention urgently! Step away from that decision, Emma, that is baaaad news right there, and its right, of course. Then, like a loyal dog it seems to settle back sleepily by your side. You might even think that its just vanished back into the thin air that you thought it came from until you are in need of it again and, guess what, there it will be.

But also like our loyal fluffy companions, the more effort and attention you apply to training and loving it, the stronger it will become, and not just at guarding you in the bad times when you are at the edge, but also guiding you with the same level of love and respect that you have shown it through every day of your life.
