Need answers? Try an intuitive walkabout

“Vibration” From the Treedom Collection

There are so many ways to get Guidance. The intuitive walkabout is one of my favourites and anyone can do it. 

It’s quick and easy.

I taught this at last weekend’s Intuition Into Action Intensive and the participants were blown away with the results.

You can do it anywhere – your house, your office building, a downtown street, etc.

My favourite place for an intuitive walkabout is in nature. You get the added bonus of fresh air. Breath is your Life Force, which is your connection to Spirit. Use it well.

By breathing deeply as you walk on Mother Earth, you open your communication channels.

So try your own intuitive walkabout using my 5 Steps to Activate Your Intuition.

Because of free will, we need to ask our angels and guides for help. Invite them to play with you.

Do one question at a time.  Make it simple, specific, and open (5Ws).

Examples:
“How can I best resolve my conflict with my teenage son in the next 2 weeks?”
“What can I do this Fall to meet the right man for me?”
“What’s my next best move to increase the number of customers I serve this month?”

Then state that you need the answer before you get to some landmark or curve in the path (about 5-10 minutes).

Now it’s time to collect data. Access your intuition.

Pay attention. Whatever catches your attention has meaning. Trust that.

Don’t try to figure out the meaning at this point. Just write down or record everything you notice.

Remember that intuition speaks through your senses and symbolism, so pay attention to

• how you feel
• what you smell or taste
• what you hear
• what you see
• thoughts or memories
• everything

This might look like

• tangled roots with moss – beautiful
• trunk stump looks like owl
• snail slow and graceful through grass
• ambulance siren fading in the distance
• juvenile eagle flies over river downstream
• 2 squirrels chasing each other up trees
• memory of childhood picnic & playing frisbee
• sudden chill when I turned left so went right instead
• butterfly lands in front of me
• young man bends down to pick up after his dog and gives a treat

It’s easier to keep Steps 2 and 3 separate at first.

This is where the left analytical brain joins your right intuitive brain (and heart) for teamwork.

Interpret the data by matching your clues to your question.

You’re the best person to play detective with the symbolism you receive. 

The more you practice, the better you’ll get.

So, if your question was: “How can I best resolve my conflict with my teenage son in the next 2 weeks?”, you might interpret the clues like this.

• tangled roots with moss – beautiful
  – We’re family. It gets messy, but it’s nourishing and beautiful anyway. This is an opportunity to grow. Relax with it.
• trunk stump looks like owl
  – I need to change my perception of his being cut off to recognizing his wisdom. He’ll make mistakes, but he’ll learn from them.
• snail slow and graceful through grass
  – There’s no fast & easy fix. Be OK with it taking time. Don’t rush it. This is about moving “home” forward. It doesn’t have to feel like a burden.
• ambulance siren fading in the distance
  – You’re alarmed by the situation, but there’s no reason. The danger is behind you.
• juvenile eagle flies over river downstream
  – My son is growing and needs to spread his wings on his own. It’s up to him to choose his direction.
• 2 squirrels chasing each other up trees
  – If I keep harping on what he did, he has no choice but to run. I’m pushing him away.
• memory of childhood picnic & playing frisbee
  – We used to play and have fun a lot more together. Now we mostly argue. I’ll organize a family picnic to bring the family together. We haven’t done that in so long. We need time to just play and bond again. Maybe I’ll ask if there’s something else like that he’d rather do instead.
• sudden chill when I turned left so went right instead
  – I need to pay attention to when my mood or interactions with him are going the wrong way and bring more warmth and love into them
• butterfly lands in front of me
  – This isn’t about him. This is an opportunity for me to transform the way I’m being in this situation. This can be beautiful!
• young man bends down to pick up after his dog and gives a treat
  – I have to let him clean up this mess and take responsibility for what he did. But I also need to encourage him for the small steps he’s taking to improve his situation.

You get the picture. Here, it was about relaxing, backing off, allowing, changing perceptions, adding fun, and supporting growth.

You may have gotten different meanings from the same clues. That’s the beauty of the process.

Your angels, guides, the Universe, Source – whatever you call Guidance – speaks to you in a language that relates to you. Sure, you need to decode it, but that’s part of the fun.

Now take inspired action.

Guidance is useless if you don’t act on it.

Organize that family picnic. Get off your son’s back and let him figure things out. Recognize his wisdom and trust in the process. If you get angry, stop and ask how you can bring more warmth/love to the situation.  Find ways to encourage and reward his efforts to clean things up. Be there for him – don’t make it about you.

Then let things evolve. Trust in Divine Timing.

If you were guided to do something, know that it somehow fits in the big picture.

And whenever you have more questions, go through the steps again and enjoy another walkabout.

Last weekend at my workshop, participants had a list of 10 questions they wanted clarity on during their walkabout. They did one at a time as we walked through the building and the grounds.  They collected data for Question 1, stopped, analyzed their results, then went on to Question 2, and so on.

They were amazed by the results and now have a list of inspired actions to take to move their lives in their right direction. You can too.

These 5 Steps are the same whether you seek your answers on your own during an intuitive walkabout or use intuitive hearing aids, like my Divine Storytelling Time Packages. In this case, I do “Step 2 – Access” for you.

However you choose to get your answers, know that Guidance is available. If you’re feeling lost or depleted, ask and you shall receive.

So go ahead, give the intuitive walkabout a try.

Then feel free to share your results in the comments below.

I’d love to know your original question and 2 inspired actions you’ll take based on your findings.
