3. UNABLE TO TRUST SELF
Many people, myself included, just don’t
trust their own intuition or senses. Maybe
they have trusted it once and something bad
happened, causing them to not be able to
trust themselves. They blame themselves
for bad judgement or poor intuition, and
don’t believe any subsequent messages,
inadvertently blocking more from coming.
Sarah had just ended another relationship.
Her boyfriend had been cheating on her for
over a year and she never knew. All this time,
she thought he was the man of her dreams.
She kept asking herself how she could have
been so wrong about him. This was not the
first time she chose a guy who was bad for
her. She decided her intuition could not be
trusted. Even when the messages came in
loud and clear, she pushed them aside. She
felt she had let herself down too many times
and could not trust herself. Shutting down
her intuition also blocked her connection to
spirit, since she was not trusting anything
that came through her.
I had been studying healing for many years.
I worked with several teachers, attending
retreats and seminars to open up my intuition
and spiritual connection. I jokingly referred
to myself as “the blind healer”, because
it seemed like everyone around me was
clairvoyant, but me. I wanted so badly to be
like them! My frustration would build every
time I went to a workshop, feeling worse
about myself and my abilities. Why am I not
receiving anything? What is wrong with me?
As time went on, I realized that my gifts
were not in clairvoyance, but in feeling
(clairsentience). It is true that I don’t see things
the way that others see them, but they don’t

feel things the way that I do. It wasn’t that I
was “blind”, I was just “seeing” it differently.
I was so focused on messages being one
way, that I was blocking them from coming
another way. It took a lot of practice for me
to trust the information that came to me, and
to believe I was receiving information from
the divine through sensations in my hands
and my body.
PAY ATTENTION
Once the blocks to a spiritual connection
have been removed, it is important to be open
and aware, and pay attention to the myriad of
ways the communication may occur.
We get so busy in our lives, rushing from one
activity to the next. We may pray for signs or
messages, but then we cruise along through
our day and at the end say, “Hmm, I didn’t
get any answers to my prayer.” Well, did you
take the time to receive the message? Is
your awareness open to receive the answer
in whatever form it may come?
Spirit is calling you. Are you listening? Can
you hear it now?
