Podcast 21: Listening to Your Body & Intuition

Intuitive awareness – the little voice inside that has a quiet presence.  Takes practice and meditation, sitting quietly, prayer or Deep listening. Movement based meditation also works.  Another way is to listen to the Earth around you.

People talk to the Divine all the time – ties back to our own innate divinity. We are part of the divine and the divine is part of us.

"In times of confusion and ambiguity, it’s helpful to remember that there is a numinous power that emerges from a coherent, divine source, and it knows which way to go. We can call this the “power from below,” because it is elemental, and quite physical. It is that organizing intelligence that animates all life. It is the pattern-maker that stitches together our dreams, manifests in synchronicity, and arises in our longing or desire in the body. And if we can learn to follow and embody that power, it will lead the way out of the patriarchy.

This “power from below” is Sophia, an ancient Greek word which loosely translates into wisdom. You can find it in the root of the word philosophy, which is the “love of wisdom,” but perhaps more accurately described as Knowing. Sophia is the inner knowing that gets clearer and stronger as we dismantle the old power structures, but she is also the outer knowing that appears in the waking dream, in synchronicity and symbolic events in our lives."
