I found myself in a Power Yoga class this afternoon sweating off a few extra pounds that I don’t really have to lose. I was surrounded by beautiful Marin yogini’s in a hot room that felt very intimate and safe. And, at the end of the class the instructor sent us off with a short chant to “Let our intuition guide us.”
I’ve always been in-tune with my intuition. We have a love-hate relationship. It’s that pit in your stomach, the ache you ignore, the goosebumps, the butterflies… Some call it “source,” or “vortex” – it’s the deepest part of you that holds all the answers to your questions. Or as Steve Jobs says above, intuition coupled with your heart equals what you truly want to become. Knowing that it’s there is the easy part. You know it’s there, right? This is the first step, knowing that you already have the answers to all of your questions deep inside of you. It’s the listening to it and following it that’s the hard part.
I’m the bravest girl I know yet sometimes I don’t have the courage to follow my intuition. And, I’ve been around the block enough to know that when I don’t it usually means I won’t be happy with the outcome, or at the very least that I’m not being authentic and true to myself. Following your intuition sometimes means changing jobs, ending friendships…a broken heart.
Matching the true me to my actions is high on my list of goals for this year. You probably read the post about my “Think. Say. Do. Mantra” so you know this is super important to me. I’m still working on the courage part.

Wishing you lots of love, lust & butterflies…and gobs of courage to go along with it!
