QUESTION: Are you listening to your intuition?

STORY: Our mornings are important. I have been practicing a little morning exercise of sensually sitting quietly with a little notebook for 5 minutes after I wake up and get dressed. I look out the window and see the trees and squirrels. I listen to the birds. I smell the coffee. I feel the weight of my body against the chair. Then I calmly write words and draw lines expressing my present awareness of the energy around me and within me. You know that our body is always talking to us. The question is: Are we listening? Our intuition sends us messages now and again. Are we paying attention? We must pay attention to not only our thoughts as they flow into words - but also we must pay attention and listen to our Soul, our Higher Self. It is the energy that flows through our body.
