Connecting with your intuition is one of life’s pivotal learnings and ever-evolving mastery. Throughout your life, you have been conditioned not to trust yourself and not stray from what is considered normal or conventional. Even though you always have this inner voice whispering what your soul yearns for, its sound gets drowned by the ever-doubting mind and the need to belong and fit in, which is essential for the ego to survive.

When you go deeper within yourself and feel called to discover your intuition, it usually means the healing journey and the discovery of your spiritual nature are calling to you. It implies that transformations, witnessing the inner world, and the movements toward your heart have begun. Intuition can be called your inner compass. It is this moment-to-moment wisdom that is guiding you towards the highest consciousness of living life. It manifests as this gentle inner voice that keeps guiding you to the best action for you and all the beings around you. Learning to listen to it implies becoming comfortable with silence and not knowing, being open to flow with life more than pushing your will. It’s a long-lasting process that yields the most profound inner connection and communion with the Divine.

When tending to a child, most conditionings that have been invisible to you before emerge relatively quickly. They are beliefs about how a child should behave, act, speak, play, breathe, eat, look at the world, dance, etc. It’s endless. This implies that you can never see the child (or children). You naturally become rigid, authoritarian, demanding, and punishing. In essence, you are trapped in your mind and beliefs; the ego is trying to survive by attempting to control whatever is happening. This leaves you with remorse, resentment, and exhaustion, and it leaves the child (or children) isolated, lost, fearful, and disconnected.

When we become parents or we have to care for a child, there is a natural biological drive to give them better than what we received. But if we haven’t started our healing journey or become aware of our conditionings, beliefs, and hurts, we will repeat what we unconsciously know. Being able to tend to a child implies being present and with a flowered heart. It means seeing what is happening moment to moment, beyond the mind-perceived chaos, and answering from your higher consciousness. It means welcoming life and its flow, every second of it. Allow yourself to be broken by it, be more accessible, and reconnect with your authenticity and heart.

The purpose of why we exist is one of the questions that has accompanied humanity for millennia. When you question the why, it’s usually a marker that some conflict is inside, and you are centered in the mind-ego sphere. There is usually pain and suffering that you are not seeing. So, for the mind, this uneasiness in experience must mean that there is something to ponder and figure out. And usually, when the pain or suffering is entirely meaningful, these questions arise or keep lingering.

The more you move toward discovering who you are and healing the suffering you carry, the more slowly you emerge to live. You discover how connected you are with all of existence, and there is a natural sense of joy and wonder toward creation. Through this, your purpose shines through. You can connect deeply with what brings you joy and how your soul soars and this gives direction and meaning. You thrive, in essence, just by being alive. And your purpose lives through you.
