Beyond intuition is intentuition.
Have you ever heard of that?
A very skilled, knowledgeable, effective, and intuitive massage therapist first made me aware of that word and concept – the marrying of intention and intuition.
Allow me to share some of my experience ...
Back in 2009 and 2010, when I was studying to become a Certified BodyTalk Practitioner, I felt really challenged (overwhelmed and freaked out, if I’m being honest!) when I learned that, in order to be successful, I would be required to “tap into” my intuition. It was during my immersion in BodyTalk studies that I learned that we are all intuitive. Every one of us. But I’ll tell you what … I sure didn’t feel like I was, and because I didn’t feel like I was, I didn’t trust my intuition at all.
Well, long story short, I came to believe that I did, indeed, possess intuition … once I took a leap of faith to just trust it. And once I began to trust it, so much opened up for me. I began to be guided to select certain supplements, or essential oils, or items at the grocery store, and I came to see it as me being led to select, or take some sort of action, or do, what was for my highest good, and for the highest good for all involved.
And then there’s the concept of “intention” – the purpose, the goal, the desired outcome – when it’s something more specific than the more general “highest good for all involved”. Without intention, energy is unfocused, having no direction, no purpose. Energy follows intention. In a sense, I think of intention as “asking” for, or envisioning, a particular outcome, situation, circumstance, development. You could also think of it as "requesting" a state of "beingness".
When studying BodyTalk, I came to know that whatever the mind believes to be so, becomes so in the body. The mind is very powerful. One of my reads a few years back, was Dr. Joe Dispenza’s You Are the Placebo: Making Your Mind Matter, which led me to a daily, first-thing-in-the-morning, meditation practice, creating each day according to my intended outcome. And, more recently, I attended a personal development camp, and through several of the exercises we did, I came to know that asking for an intended outcome, somehow (don’t ask me how!) creates a wind-beneath-my-wings effect – a bit of oompf from forces unseen. That’s my story anyway … and I’m sticking to it!
So, now you have intentuition: accessing your intuition, as inspired and guided by your intention.
I find that I most frequently employ my intentuition, when I have a choice or decision to make around desiring a particular outcome. For example, if I’m feeling kind of low energy, I will approach my collection of essential oils with the intention of selecting the oil which will best boost my energy, and allowing my intuition (not having to know all the facts and the properties of any of the essential oils from which I’m choosing) to do the choosing. (Essential oils, especially, lend themselves to incredible results when selected using intentuition!)
And, I then trust that my choice is going to bring me my desired result.
And guess what? More often than not, it does!
So, tell me …
Can you see ways in which you are, consciously or unconsciously, using your intentuition?
If not, try utilizing your inborn intentuition. (Yes, we all have it!) Give it a go! Doing so will open up so many possibilities, get you unstuck, and make life oh so interesting!
