Quick Click #65: POP
How is your inner child going? Have you been nurturing her and letting her lighten up and have some freedom? We hope you have taken some time this month to notice how good it is to play and laugh and relax into timelessness. There is so much going on outside of us, that going within can be the best way to reset and regenerate. It is also the space where we can access our intuition most effectively.
Perhaps you have noticed that when you spend time in quiet reflection, and where you aren’t distracted by the myriad of information and stimulations that are jostling for your attention, that thoughts just pop into your head, seemingly from nowhere. BJ Palmer, the developer of Chiropractic used to call these things “thots”, and that seems like as apt of a description as any. You might be silently washing the dishes, or hanging out the washing, when POP a thot drops into your consciousness. Maybe it’s when you’re out walking and taking in the beauty of the trees or looking to the horizon and POP: thot. When we interview women, it seems that we all have times where thots are more likely to come to join us. For some of us it’s when we are tooling along the highway, and for others it’s when we meditate.
Our oil of the month (Ylang Ylang) is said to aid in bringing through our intuition. When we think about kids, and of course our own inner child, we know that intuition, impressions or thots are often what’s running the show. When you ask a six year old, “Why did you do that?” They will often say, “I felt like it”. And before we dismiss that as being silly, immature or impulsive, imagine if we sat for a moment and trusted that what ‘feels right’ IS right?
All of us have thots that come and go- some we dismiss and others we act on. We often get a feeling that something is right (or wrong) for us, and we even get impressions about what is going to play out next (How often do you think of a friend and then ping a text comes in from them?) Our logical minds can say, “That’s just a coincidence”, but what if it isn’t? What if we were to entertain the idea that we can somehow tap into a thot, or a heart knowing or a glimmer of universal magic? We don’t know the actual answer, so why not play?
This week we would love you to notice where and when you get your best thots. Once you know the structure of how to expand your intuition, we want you to create a space to allow your intuition to function. (As you know: structure determines function). Every day this week, put yourself in the space that allows ideas, dreams and information to just POP into your mind.
You are magical.
More than you’ve ever allowed yourself to believe.
Let’s see what you can conjure up.
