When Given a Choice- Take Both!
“Our body is a machine for
living. It is organized for that, it is
its nature. Let life go on in it
unhindered and let it defend itself, it will do more than if you paralyze it by
encumbering it with remedies.” ~Leo
Tolstoy
It is time to
stop ignoring ourselves! What I seek to present in this article is an
alternative to ignoring our intuition in favor of science or ignoring science
in favor of intuition. Why limit
ourselves with one when we can use both to our advantage?
·
mix intuitional and scientific information and then
·
cross-check them against each other for answers that
are indisputably correct.
Listen, then verify. Believe but validate. By
respecting both of these modalities in life, we double our chances of finding
correct answers.
It is time to
stop ignoring ourselves, discover our voice and speak our truth. Every
challenge we overcame creates a new part of our inner voice/personality. In order
to effectively battle crisis we must:
·
get in touch with our inner selves and
·
work together toward the goal of survival by using
everything available to us.
By searching within ourselves through:
·
dreams,
·
meditation,
·
or prayer,
we will find our own set of answers to any challenge.
When faced with crisis many of us are
engulfed by fear of the unknown. When my intuitive suspicion of breast
cancer was medically confirmed, I considered suicide as a means of freeing
myself from a painful uncertainty. I wanted to avoid the gruesome death Mom had
suffered from cancer sixteen months earlier. Before I had time to fully grieve
for Mom, I was grieving for myself.
Unfortunately, when facing crisis, many of us forget
that we are armed with lessons learned throughout life. In order to be
successful:
·
Our inner selves must become reunited in the goal to
survive.
·
Everyone battling any life-threatening crisis has his
or her own set of questions concerning treatment and survival.
Questions
concerning intuition often remain unanswered by the medical field and
conventional society. Spiritual guides, angels, intuition, gut instincts,
call them what you will, “voices” and dreams have gotten a bad rap in society.
Just ask Joan of Arc. Her voices were a
double-edged sword that led to victory in battle and then to the stake as a
witch. Yet, dreams saved my life. Without
the intervention of my inner-voices, I believe I would be dead, and this
article would be a buried idea.
Join me again for part 2 of this article when I discuss
the rules to a prosperous life and guardian angels as described by Padre Pio In
his book Send Me Your Guardian Angel.

Part II- When Given a Choice-
Take Both
“What would life be if we had no
courage to attempt anything?
- Vincent van Gogh”
Part I of this article covered the importance
of listening to yourself for a more fulfilling life. In section II we will discuss playing the Game
of Life to win, inner-voices, guardian angels, church and how they are all a
part of not ignoring ourselves.
In the book Send
Me Your Guardian Angel, about the life of Padre Pio, his Guardian Angel first
appeared to him when he was still a boy.
“He took the semblance of another child and made himself visible only to
him. Later Padre Pio called his Guardian
Angel/Spiritual Guide ‘the companion of my infancy.’” This describes my
invisible childhood friend, Gee-Gee, who later became a full spiritual guide
and lifesaving Guardian Angel when I was fighting for my life.
If
I’ve learned one thing these past ten years of treatment and success it is
this:
·
You seldom get anywhere by standing on the sidelines of
the game of Life and Death with crossed fingers waiting for someone else to
take action for you.
·
Life is not a spectator sport.
·
You are responsible for yourself.
·
Play!
Our inner self uses signs and symbols that include and
go beyond dreams to communicate with us, especially during any crisis that can
include divorce, financial problems and health.
No matter how confusing they may seem our dreams are always telling us
something. Here are some other ways to get validation in life:
·
Synchronicities can be validations.
·
Listen to your fears, but don’t let them rule your
life. Let them guide you to action.
·
Be a squeaky wheel until you are acknowledged.
·
Don’t take no for an answer.
·
Don’t settle for less.
·
And don’t be dismissed.
·
Hoping someone else makes the right decisions for you when you are in
crisis is a half-plan missing a vital component and your biggest resource: YOU!
Listen to yourself. Take care of your Spirit and it
will take care of you.
