WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:02.759 The Boundless Authenticity Podcast. 2 00:00:05.320 --> 00:00:09.919 Thanks for tuning in to the Boundless Authenticity Podcast. Today's 3 00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:14.960 topic is understanding intuition and getting into the Flow with 4 00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:21.280 my guest Vincent Melling. Vincent is an author, speaker, teacher, 5 00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:25.559 and ICF accredited coach, and his recently published book Getting 6 00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:30.760 into the Flow describes how he received a flow of synchronicities, coincidences, 7 00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:34.679 chance meetings and calls, opportunities and events occurring in perfect 8 00:00:34.759 --> 00:00:38.719 timing when he went to Aluru for a global meditation 9 00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:43.719 on the December twenty twenty solstice. Vincent's book also describes 10 00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:46.880 how you can use intuition to create a magic flow 11 00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:50.600 in your own life, and Vincent's coaching aims to guide 12 00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:54.200 you to find this magic and flow to speed your 13 00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:58.359 journey to creating what's in your vision. So, Vincent, how's 14 00:00:58.399 --> 00:00:58.799 it going? 15 00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:03.920 Oh goodness, thanks Johann, And you're absolutely right. The book 16 00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:08.200 does tell you how you can develop your intuition. I'm 17 00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:10.519 just going to hold it up here and I am 18 00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:13.560 going to have to do something really clever, which is 19 00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:19.439 unblow my background because zoom does blur it. Yeah, So 20 00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:20.959 the book tells you how to do it, but it's 21 00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:24.480 work that is far more powerful when you do it 22 00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:29.239 in a group. And over the past a few days, 23 00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:32.400 I've been working with a couple of friends. We call 24 00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:35.879 them the Academy of Intuitive Mastery. We've been taking them 25 00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:40.000 through the work that's in the book and helping people 26 00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:43.920 first of all, connect with their intuition, develop their intuition, 27 00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:50.120 and then get a vision for their lives, connecting with 28 00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:54.079 their purpose, their mission in life, and giving them some 29 00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:58.040 tools to move on and start creating that. So, yeah, 30 00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:01.319 that's what I've been doing over the past. We can bitch. 31 00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:05.480 Okay, Well, I like that because man, I come across 32 00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:09.039 some people and they're freaking out. They're like, ah, I 33 00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:13.080 don't know what my purpose is. It's like, I mean, 34 00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:15.879 I'm not laughing at them, but it's just like this 35 00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:23.199 real childlike anxiety and they think they're gonna spontaneously combust 36 00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:28.319 because they haven't found their purpose yet. And a lot 37 00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:30.680 of the times, what I've also realized is that they're 38 00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:34.800 missing some really big clues in their life as to 39 00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:39.000 what it should be. And I think it's like a 40 00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:44.840 personal development industry induced coma that the Internet has put 41 00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:47.039 out there for people, because now they see all this 42 00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:49.759 stuff about live your dream and live your purpose. And 43 00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:53.159 so everybody thinks that they should be doing something that's 44 00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:55.719 really grandiose, you know, and it scares them and so 45 00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:57.000 they just don't do anything at all. 46 00:02:57.240 --> 00:03:04.560 Is that sense, And it's actually something that I specifically 47 00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:07.759 address in the book because that's how people view it. 48 00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:11.759 And great I think everybody does have a purpose in life, 49 00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:14.960 and that's great news. But it never starts out as 50 00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:19.080 something grandigos. And so, for example, if you think of 51 00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:21.680 Mother Teresa and she has this order of nuns and 52 00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:24.800 she has convents around the world, but it started out 53 00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:27.800 when you know, she was moved by a poor person 54 00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:32.479 on the streets of Calcutta. It was just that one person. 55 00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:36.080 And you will find that across a range of people 56 00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:39.599 that have started working with purpose, that it starts very, 57 00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:44.919 very small and then builds. And very often our sense 58 00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:49.199 of purpose builds out of the chance that we've had, 59 00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:51.840 out of the challenges that we've had in life, and 60 00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:56.599 our desire to help others who are facing the same challenges, 61 00:03:56.639 --> 00:04:00.479 help them surround them. So that's where purpose comes from. 62 00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:03.520 Where it doesn't come from is an a goic place, 63 00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:07.800 a place of first saying, well, when I was a kid. 64 00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:11.000 Everybody was talking about starving millions in Africa, So something 65 00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:14.800 a guy it might be to take that thing, and so, well, 66 00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:18.519 I'm going to put together a project that's going to 67 00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:22.240 help solve this problem, but without really the emotional connection, 68 00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:28.160 without the intention. And there is something about each of 69 00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:31.879 us that's a divine gift or an innate talent that 70 00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:37.480 we've got, and I often think our purpose is around 71 00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:42.560 also connecting with that talent and using that to express 72 00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:45.439 and help people. I'm going to stop rambling there and 73 00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:47.639 into the conversation. 74 00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:52.680 I mean, you're not a rambling, you're making perfect sense. 75 00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:58.560 But what about the concept that maybe an individual has 76 00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:02.720 more than one purpose? You know? And suppose you're walking 77 00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:05.240 down the beach and there's nobody else on the beach, 78 00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:07.279 but you see that there's one person in the water 79 00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:09.759 and they're drowning, so you jump in and you save them. 80 00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:13.439 That's a purpose. Or the guy that gets up super 81 00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:16.759 early and runs the street sweeper, that's a purpose, you know. 82 00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:20.920 But some people don't feel purposeful in whatever is they're 83 00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:23.240 already doing. So what would you say to that? 84 00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:28.120 Yes, it's certainly something I think about a lot, because 85 00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:31.920 somebody has to run the street sweeper and pick up 86 00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:37.079 the garbage and appreciate all of that. I think it 87 00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:40.079 is possible to be running more than one purpose at 88 00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:45.040 a time. I'm thinking in particular, for example, somebody that's 89 00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:49.800 caring for an elderly relative or something like that might 90 00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:55.199 also be writing or something like that. But yeah, we've 91 00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:57.720 usually got a sense of we've usually got a sense 92 00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:02.480 of that when it happens. Yeah, what I was going 93 00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:05.639 to say was that the way we see purpose in 94 00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:10.680 this work, it reveals itself over time. In other words, 95 00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:12.920 if you were shown where we're going to end up 96 00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:15.920 in your life, it will be absolutely overwhelming and it 97 00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:18.879 will push you into that place to resistance that you 98 00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:22.959 were talking about. People online feel about purpose. It's got 99 00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:25.040 to be big, and it's got to be impressive, and 100 00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:28.560 it's got to When we do the work that we do, 101 00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:31.560 we do a visionally exercise that gives you a vision 102 00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:37.959 perhaps for the next six to fifteen months, something like that, 103 00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:42.480 and that will give you a snapshot of We do 104 00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:45.160 a whole of life thing, but one of those areas 105 00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:48.000 of life will be a snapshot of where your purpose 106 00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:51.040 is taking you in that time. And then you follow 107 00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:54.360 that and then six months twelve months later, you come 108 00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:58.680 back and do the exercise over again and see what 109 00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:02.680 the next level is for whatever it is you're working on, 110 00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:05.480 whether it's your purpose or whether it's something else that 111 00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:06.639 you're choosing in your life. 112 00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:08.959 Okay, I accept that. 113 00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:14.879 I have to answer the question, Yeah you did. 114 00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:20.199 So what's your personal definition of intuition? 115 00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:23.560 Intuition is a facility that we've all got, and it's 116 00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:29.040 like a connection to some big cloud of information that's 117 00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:32.000 out there in the universe, and we can tap into 118 00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:34.680 that and we can bring it in. We can bring 119 00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:36.759 it in and it will come to us in all 120 00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:41.560 the various form clear senses that are available. So some 121 00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:45.040 people will get intuition very visually. Some people will get 122 00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:50.279 intuition audibly here's something. Some people will get words, some 123 00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:55.040 people get feelings and chills. It's possible to get smells 124 00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:58.800 and tastes, they're not so common. And sometimes you'll just 125 00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:01.800 have a knowing how it shows up. You know, there's 126 00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:04.240 there's a number of ways it shows up, but it 127 00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:08.079 never shows up like in like a YouTube video, and 128 00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:11.000 you never have some you know, an inituitive guy sitting 129 00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:13.560 there telling you exactly what you need to know and 130 00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:16.120 how to do things and show you everything. Usually it's 131 00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:18.720 more symbolic than that. It needs a little bit of interpretation. 132 00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:22.560 And when you're connected with interpretation, then the sorry when 133 00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:26.800 you're connected with intuition, that interpretation is usually quite simple 134 00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:31.319 and obvious. You don't have to go around doing too 135 00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:35.159 many mental contautions to do it. But by the same token, 136 00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:41.440 imagination is a great way of digging into the interpretation 137 00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:44.279 of what we get symbolic what we get feeling wise, 138 00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:50.320 and we've historically kind of downplay imagination. We say we 139 00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:53.519 said that kids, he's got a very active imagination, to 140 00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:55.759 say that he's kind of a little bit out there, 141 00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:59.799 a little bit too far away to the imagina. We've 142 00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:05.200 kind of this imagination And really imagination is part of 143 00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:09.399 ituitive faculty, and we find in given readings that when 144 00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:13.799 we lean into imagination and just in a surrendered way, 145 00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:16.519 we've got to be and just allowing imagination to feed 146 00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:19.200 us and not what we want to hear. But when 147 00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:23.720 we do that, it opens up like another level of 148 00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:29.919 psychic reception and we can we get more information. So 149 00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:34.240 that's kind of how I see intuition. It's like our 150 00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:40.879 connection to that universal cloud of information. But the way 151 00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:46.399 I teach it for intuitive purposes, it's great for directing 152 00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:49.720 your own life. It's great for making decisions, it's great 153 00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:53.039 for getting a vision, it's great for creating a bit 154 00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:55.639 of magic in your life. What we what I don't 155 00:09:55.679 --> 00:10:03.720 teach is making predictions, making forecasts. When, for example, I 156 00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:06.320 get an insight about where I'm going with my work, 157 00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:11.960 I assume that it takes into account where the external 158 00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:15.600 environment is and what is possible for me in that 159 00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:19.320 environment and has given me given that to me, Usually 160 00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:23.000 the external environment doesn't have a lot of power. That's 161 00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:28.960 a whole other conversation that we can have here. But 162 00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:32.159 intuition is very much about understanding the level of power 163 00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:37.120 that you have within yourself. Yes, so that's a few 164 00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:39.480 of the things that a few aspects of intuition. That 165 00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:41.279 and how I see it. 166 00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:44.039 So the very fact that you're saying that you teach 167 00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:48.000 it suggests that it is both an any ability that 168 00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:50.679 we all have and it's something that you can learn. 169 00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:54.159 Because I've heard people say, oh, I'm not very creative 170 00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:59.519 and I don't even know what it feels like to 171 00:10:59.559 --> 00:11:03.200 sense I intuitive faculties or whatever you know, And I'm like, 172 00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:07.399 what do you feel like eating for breakfast today? They're like, 173 00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:10.840 I really go for some eggs. Oh my goodness, there 174 00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:16.399 you go, you know, like it's it's a sense they 175 00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:19.399 can feel that you can tap into your intuition, you know. 176 00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:22.919 But I think that going back to what you were 177 00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:26.360 saying as well, there's a certain level of crazy making 178 00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:31.559 or gas lighting, or just societal conditioning in general where 179 00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:33.559 they do say stuff like oh, that kid's got a 180 00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:38.000 wild imagination, you know, and all these different things through 181 00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:43.399 childhood then disabled our natural the ability to into it. 182 00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:44.159 You know. 183 00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:50.600 Yeah, yeah, that's absolutely true. And you said in each intuition, 184 00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:53.720 and that's what I've found that everybody's intuitive, but with 185 00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:58.360 some people, and very often it's men who seem to 186 00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:03.200 particularly receive this message about being mental. Being logical is 187 00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:05.679 very shut down, and you have to be a little 188 00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:11.240 bit patient, a little bit supportive and encouraging and everybody 189 00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:14.639 will get something. But then there's another level of intuition, 190 00:12:14.679 --> 00:12:17.720 because most people, you know, view intuition as being kind 191 00:12:17.720 --> 00:12:22.879 of gut feel or getting a hunches or perhaps seeing messages. 192 00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:25.879 And really you can use intuition for a lot beyond 193 00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:29.600 those basic kind of warning mechanisms. As I said, you 194 00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:34.320 can use it for decisions, to help create visions, to 195 00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:37.919 get creative, turn on your supercreativity, lots of things. So 196 00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:41.480 it's a very powerful tool when you develop it. And 197 00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:44.879 most people who say they're intuitive are kind of right 198 00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:48.320 of the kind of very ground level and yeah, yeah, 199 00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:51.200 just using it for the danger and they're not really. 200 00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:53.559 You know, when you get chained up, you get very 201 00:12:53.639 --> 00:12:56.679 used to making decisions based on intuition and you know 202 00:12:57.080 --> 00:13:00.320 what it feels like and how to distinguish it from 203 00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:02.879 what's coming on from the mind. And that's really important. 204 00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:06.799 So could you share a specific moment when you were 205 00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:10.360 intuition played a significant role in your life. 206 00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:13.559 Yes, I'll go back to one of the earliest moments. 207 00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:18.200 I was in a class with a teacher, and this 208 00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:22.480 teacher was from Southern Africa, and he was running a 209 00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:25.960 training course in Southern Africa, and usked to saw to 210 00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:28.080 tune in and make a decision and find out whether 211 00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:30.600 it was true for us, whether it was true for 212 00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:35.279 us to go on that course. So everybody tuned in 213 00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:39.440 and nearly everybody in the class got yeah, that it 214 00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:42.519 was true for them to take this course in Southern Africa, 215 00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:44.720 and I think I was about the only one that 216 00:13:44.799 --> 00:13:47.039 didn't get that it was true. But it was then 217 00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:49.519 it was very clear for me that this wasn't true. 218 00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:54.120 This didn't have energy this training, So I didn't go. 219 00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:59.759 Other people did and some months late this was going 220 00:13:59.840 --> 00:14:01.279 to be the only one in the year. Some months 221 00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:04.399 later I got laid off from my job. I had 222 00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:11.200 an end date and the teacher organized a second round 223 00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:14.639 of this training and it was going to start like 224 00:14:14.840 --> 00:14:17.440 a week after I had finished up at this job, 225 00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:20.840 and this time it was truth for me. It was 226 00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:25.519 absolutely perfect. So that is a very simple example of 227 00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:29.399 intuition leading me to making a really good decision. I 228 00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:34.039 had absolutely wonderful time. Where they were running it at 229 00:14:34.080 --> 00:14:35.960 the time was next to a nature and serve and 230 00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:39.639 there were animals, and yeah, we could go driving everything there. 231 00:14:40.039 --> 00:14:43.279 Yeah. And have you ever ignored your intuition and then regretted? 232 00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:51.080 It doesn't everybody, And yes, it's very common to say 233 00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:53.159 I wish I had listen to my intuition. 234 00:14:53.559 --> 00:14:53.759 You know. 235 00:14:53.879 --> 00:14:57.720 The problem I have is that prior to really getting 236 00:14:57.759 --> 00:15:01.039 involved with this work, which is probably twelve years ago, 237 00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:03.840 I was in the camp that actually believed that I 238 00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:08.919 was not intuitive, and until I had it really demonstrated 239 00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:11.559 to me, I believe that. So I was up to 240 00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:13.799 up to about ten years ago, I was never really 241 00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:17.720 listening to my intuition. Unfortunately, I'm a bit of a 242 00:15:17.720 --> 00:15:21.200 good boy in respect to your question, so I do 243 00:15:21.519 --> 00:15:24.519 tend to listen to my intuition and act on it, 244 00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:27.879 and very rarely act against it. So I'm really struggling 245 00:15:27.879 --> 00:15:31.720 to find an example of where I went and against 246 00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:38.519 it and had a nasty lesson that I've got one 247 00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:42.960 now that's come to me that I just ended up 248 00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:46.159 making an investment with a guy where all the numbers 249 00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:52.799 added up, but I picked up something wasn't quite right 250 00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:57.159 about this guy, but because everything else set it up, 251 00:15:57.200 --> 00:16:00.440 I gave him the benefit of the doubt. If at 252 00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:04.159 the time I had trusted my intuition more, I wouldn't 253 00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:05.000 have going ahead with that. 254 00:16:05.639 --> 00:16:08.960 Man. I feel like I'm the guy that picks up 255 00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:11.840 stuff about other people all the time and have never 256 00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:14.559 been wrong about it. But then when you try to 257 00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:17.360 tell other people, I'm not really getting a good vibe 258 00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:19.720 coming off this person to get like all teenager ish, 259 00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:22.679 like you know, no, you don't know what's best for me. 260 00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:26.720 You just don't want me to have friends, or you 261 00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:29.679 don't like this person because this thing. And I'm like, no, 262 00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:33.919 I mean, I trust my intuition and just maybe you're 263 00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:37.679 just too close to it and I'm getting it and 264 00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:40.240 I'm supposed to tell you. I can only warn you 265 00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:46.399 do what you feel like, Yeah, but then it always 266 00:16:46.440 --> 00:16:49.240 turns out bad for them, and they're like, oh, you're right, 267 00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:51.120 how do you do that? It's like, how do they 268 00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:54.720 do what? I just listened? 269 00:16:56.639 --> 00:17:01.440 Yes, and you're absolutely right, and you know, obviously to 270 00:17:01.480 --> 00:17:04.640 talk to somebody else about something that they're doing where 271 00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:09.839 they're messing up, you need permission. But it's very difficult 272 00:17:09.880 --> 00:17:12.480 talking to other people about what you're picking up intuitively, 273 00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:15.640 particularly if you don't have that level of trust with them. 274 00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:19.359 They don't trust you, you know, that person that may 275 00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:21.920 may come back to you afterwards and say, oh, you 276 00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:24.880 were right, and then next time you warn them they 277 00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:29.640 will listen. But you're also battling, as we said, that 278 00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:35.960 conditioning in our society that puts intuition down. And so yeah, 279 00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:41.359 that's that's another reason that pulls people back from listen 280 00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:42.200 to you. 281 00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:44.920 Yeah, no matter how many times they warn them, they 282 00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:52.119 never listen. Yeah, oh well, so what strategies do you 283 00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:57.720 use to kind of validate your intuition? You know, you're 284 00:17:58.079 --> 00:18:00.640 how do you validate your intuitive feelings before you act 285 00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:02.400 on them? Is what I really want to see. 286 00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:06.680 It is a really good question. And the answer is 287 00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:10.240 that when you go into this work, you enter into 288 00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:12.960 like a journey on your life path, and you know 289 00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:14.839 it's on your life path, and you feel that it's 290 00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:17.759 on your life path, but it kind of runs and 291 00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:23.920 unfolds over the years, and yeah, you get little bits 292 00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:28.880 of confirmation all the way along. Sometimes you get big 293 00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:31.200 bits of confirmation. So we talked about my trip to 294 00:18:31.559 --> 00:18:34.759 Laru and how all the synchronoss flowed, and how all 295 00:18:34.799 --> 00:18:42.039 the coincidences flowed, and how opportunities came up, how the 296 00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:46.359 timing was perfect, particularly around COVID and lockdowns in Australia, 297 00:18:46.359 --> 00:18:48.599 which were a little bit harsher than there were in 298 00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:51.799 other parts of the world. But it all came together really, 299 00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:54.039 really nicely. And then you think, oh, yeah, this is 300 00:18:54.079 --> 00:18:58.599 definitely true. But little bits of magic are always showing up. 301 00:18:58.640 --> 00:19:02.079 And I ran a class on Sunday. There were eight 302 00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:04.240 of us in the class. It was online. We ran 303 00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:08.440 into breakout rooms and what we're we looking at we 304 00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:12.359 were looking at It was a class that I called 305 00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:16.480 from per from vision to why. So when we do 306 00:19:16.519 --> 00:19:18.640 this work, we get a vision of what we want 307 00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:20.839 in our lives, how we see ourselves in our lives, 308 00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:24.480 and so what this class is about was just tracking 309 00:19:24.559 --> 00:19:28.079 back from that and understanding, getting a little deeper understanding 310 00:19:28.119 --> 00:19:32.240 of the why behind it, what it is that's motivating 311 00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:36.720 us to pull in this fission. And one of the 312 00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:42.480 breakout rooms spontaneously decided to form like a little self 313 00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:48.079 help mastermind group and it was, oh, this has never 314 00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:53.200 happened before, and I can see those people going on 315 00:19:53.440 --> 00:19:58.480 and creating great things. But so you're always getting little 316 00:19:58.480 --> 00:20:02.559 bits of confirmation. Keep a journal of what I'm creating, 317 00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:05.960 and then what's showing up that's particularly magical. There's always 318 00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:09.440 three or four things showing up every week that I 319 00:20:09.559 --> 00:20:14.960 wasn't expecting and that's come from left field, and you know, 320 00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:21.359 to me, those are indications of of this stuff really 321 00:20:21.400 --> 00:20:25.559 working and really creating stuff that really creating outcomes that 322 00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:29.359 I wasn't looking for, but especially enough for me to 323 00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:31.960 notice and messages for me to keep going. 324 00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:36.759 So besides journaling, are there any other practices that you 325 00:20:36.920 --> 00:20:39.119 use the inns your abilities. 326 00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:44.000 Yes, so the first practice is a daily practice. We 327 00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:48.519 create a vision that encompasses various areas of our life 328 00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:53.240 and to still that down into a set of eight choices, 329 00:20:54.400 --> 00:20:57.519 to which we had a couple of standard choices, which 330 00:20:57.559 --> 00:21:00.920 are very much like goals. But you know, when you 331 00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:03.839 think of goals and intentions and all that sort of thing, 332 00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:08.240 choice is a little bit more powerful. There's a little 333 00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:13.640 bit less from for weaseling out of a choice, and 334 00:21:13.680 --> 00:21:16.640 it's kind of like a message to your unconscious that 335 00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:19.799 of all the possibilities, this is the one, This is 336 00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:24.160 the one that I'm aiming at. Very often we have 337 00:21:24.599 --> 00:21:29.200 goals that we can kind of go for, but sometimes 338 00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:32.920 we asked whether or not this was really what I wanted. 339 00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:35.720 But with the choice, it's there and it's that one 340 00:21:35.839 --> 00:21:38.640 outcome out of all the possibilities that you're aiming at. 341 00:21:39.160 --> 00:21:44.680 And we go through that every day, and you take 342 00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:50.359 like a minute per choice. You drop into your intuitive state, 343 00:21:50.440 --> 00:21:54.720 into innocence, we call it, but it's like a meditative state. 344 00:21:55.519 --> 00:21:58.240 Tune into that end result of what's in that choice, 345 00:21:58.799 --> 00:22:00.319 and when you've got it, you move on and you 346 00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:01.920 move on and you move on, and then you go 347 00:22:01.960 --> 00:22:06.960 back and get a couple of action items how of 348 00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:10.160 going through those choices. So it is a daily practice 349 00:22:10.200 --> 00:22:14.759 of going in and then over and above that, it's 350 00:22:14.839 --> 00:22:19.920 just the there's a weekly meditation that we do for 351 00:22:20.440 --> 00:22:27.400 more strategic purposes. I'm very what's the word blessed that 352 00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:31.400 I'm in a community where that's run online three or 353 00:22:31.440 --> 00:22:33.119 four times a week. So just pick up one of 354 00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:36.559 those sessions and go and write and journal. So that's 355 00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:41.960 a more detailed journaling exercise. And then there are things 356 00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:45.480 that you do through the day as you go through 357 00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:48.839 your day just to retain that connection to intuition. 358 00:22:49.400 --> 00:22:53.839 Interesting, So I noticed that you mentioned something about the 359 00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:57.960 subconscious there, and are you saying that intuition is related 360 00:22:58.000 --> 00:23:04.480 to subconscious knowledge there is dormant or like prior experiences 361 00:23:04.480 --> 00:23:08.119 like childhood programming, Like what do you think. 362 00:23:08.039 --> 00:23:10.880 We do have a part of us that's unconscious. We 363 00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:14.640 do have a part of us that is conditioned by 364 00:23:14.839 --> 00:23:20.119 childhood programming, for sure, and out of that, we also 365 00:23:20.200 --> 00:23:24.599 have parts of us that deny what's try and hide 366 00:23:25.079 --> 00:23:27.759 aspects of us that we think about, and also try 367 00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:31.519 and hide aspects of us that are great and powerful, 368 00:23:31.519 --> 00:23:33.480 but we don't want other people to know that about 369 00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:38.279 us because somehow it might be embarrassing or something. And 370 00:23:39.119 --> 00:23:43.319 you know, perhaps forty fifty years ago, being psychic might 371 00:23:43.359 --> 00:23:45.680 have been one of those gifts that you've got, but 372 00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:47.880 you just don't want everybody to know about it. So 373 00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:51.519 we all have that. But and that's part of our 374 00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:53.880 psychological makeup. But we've got another part of us that 375 00:23:54.160 --> 00:24:01.440 is sometimes called a higher self or sometimes called a 376 00:24:01.880 --> 00:24:07.680 in a genius, or sometimes called super conscious, but whatever 377 00:24:07.759 --> 00:24:09.839 it is, is a higher part of us that's connecting 378 00:24:10.119 --> 00:24:14.240 outwards to a growter field of consciousness and through that 379 00:24:14.279 --> 00:24:18.240 consciousness can pull the information in that's intuition, so very 380 00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:25.240 very separate from the conditioning, and it's a state that 381 00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:31.279 we access again primarily through pertaining a state of presence 382 00:24:31.359 --> 00:24:34.839 or a state of going a little bit deeper in 383 00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:39.359 meditative state. So you know, when we're sitting here in 384 00:24:39.400 --> 00:24:41.920 a normal day, in some aspect of fight or flight 385 00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:47.240 or freeze, we can't access our intuition. Stresses something that 386 00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:51.240 really takes away our ability to access intuition. You do 387 00:24:51.400 --> 00:24:56.200 need to come out of that, take a couple of breaths, 388 00:24:56.759 --> 00:24:59.279 and drop in to access intuition. 389 00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:04.920 Okay, well, you mentioned something to me about men somewhat 390 00:25:05.000 --> 00:25:10.160 being conditioned into being rational thinkers and not having as 391 00:25:10.240 --> 00:25:16.880 much access to the intuitive faculties. So I know a 392 00:25:16.880 --> 00:25:19.079 lot of men that are in crisis, because you know, 393 00:25:19.079 --> 00:25:21.480 I'm a coach too, and you know a lot of 394 00:25:21.480 --> 00:25:24.559 these guys that come to me it's because of that at 395 00:25:24.559 --> 00:25:27.079 rock bottom during prices, they're in a transition from one 396 00:25:27.119 --> 00:25:29.680 place in their life to another, but they have no 397 00:25:29.759 --> 00:25:32.319 idea exactly where they want to go, even though when 398 00:25:32.319 --> 00:25:33.960 you ask them about it then they start to tell 399 00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:38.519 you exactly where they're going. But it's like they just 400 00:25:38.599 --> 00:25:43.279 completely second guests themselves and second guests and can block 401 00:25:43.319 --> 00:25:47.720
