Understanding Your Instincts

 Are instincts really important? Animals survive by them; it was vital to the survival of humans from the beginning of time. Are they still important? It helps to understand the origin of what we accept as truth and how we arrive at conclusions. Everyone is using their instincts but many allow the information to be clouded or discarded.

Instincts originate through the innate, a little discussed but vastly important part of the human being. This is the smart body of our own energy that surrounds each person. Its field extends from the center of our being to 12 feet in every direction surrounding us, invisible to the naked eye but perhaps the most vital tool for survival we have. The innate exists without emotion, reading the energy of every person and developing situation with precision and 100 percent accuracy. It also acts as a communication source from our higher consciousness, correctly delivering information that is vital to our wellbeing. What does that mean, how is the information transferred to us?

Situations that exist within the body, such as impending health issues are delivered by several methods. The one you understand and will react to is the one that will be used for you. You may suddenly be drawn to articles or programs about specific medical ailments, have vivid dreams, become abruptly more aware of an organ and its function or simply a sense of knowing something is not quite right. The more serious the malady the stronger the signal will be. A sense of foreboding or impending doom or the thought that you should get things in order signifies a possible serious illness. If you are uncertain wait for clarity, it will come.Pay attention and act on these feelings.

What about those new people you meet? Your very first feelings or reading of that person is correct, for you. You may be in a crowd or with friends who all have a different feeling about that person. Are you wrong, should you accept what they believe as truth for you? Never, not ever; this can be dangerous and lead you to become involved with someone who is utterly wrong for you. The information you are receiving is absolutely accurate about how that person will affect your own life. Their impact may be completely different for the others. Yours is correct for you.

Those sudden feelings you get about taking different routes to a familiar place or avoiding something that you typically do originate from the same source. You are being given information about what is approaching for you. How about that 'parking angel' that always seems to be looking out for you and finding a place? That is you, your innate conveying the information to you!

As humans evolved and technology and training became an important part of life we have trained ourselves to do something very dangerous. We receive an accurate reading on a situation and instead of accepting it as truth we transfer it to our brain where we weigh the information, just like comparing links on a search engine, selecting the one that seems to fit. The brain is also unemotional, acting like the hard drive of a computer where all the information we gain in life is stored. We search when we inquire within and then select what seems appropriate. The accurate answer may not be stored there.

If our 'search' involves a person who is a potential partner or friend we transfer the information from our brain to our heart where it becomes fired with emotion, totally clouding the instinctive and accurate information that was given before we began our efforts to examine the issue.

Accept the precision of your first instinctive reaction. If it is good then you can proceed to the brain and possibly the heart. The natural process forwards information to our heart last, knowing that once it arrives there important things can happen. Some are wonderful; others can break the human spirit or cost us our life. Don't fall into the trap of being the judge who overrules the most important evidence before you. Understanding your instincts is vital to enjoying the life you were intended to live.
