13 Ways Your Inner Wisdom Shows Up On A Daily Basis

You are born with wisdom.  You are wiser than you think!

You have access to your inner wisdom through your three centers of intelligence. When you are physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually healthy, you have access to wisdom that comes from the sensations of your body, the emotions of your heart and an openness to something greater through your quiet mind.

The Three Centers of Intelligence

Body

Your body helps you to know what is going on in the moment.  You have probably experienced intuition.   Suddenly you know something. Maybe you think of someone you have not talked to in a long time, and when you call, you find out your old friends are going through some significant change in their life.

You most likely have had gut feelings letting you know if something you are thinking of doing is a good idea.  If you are about to make a significant change in your life and feel heaviness in your gut, you might want to rethink your decision. 

Over time you will learn the difference between a gut feeling and nervousness about doing something new. There is a subtle difference.

Heart

Your heart helps you to understand how you are feeling about yourself.  It will show you how you see yourself showing up in the world.  Are you happy, sad, angry or depressed? It lets you know when you are doing well and when you are struggling.

Emotions also give you insight into how others are doing.  They can provide us with insight into how we can best support, encourage and challenge our friends and family to be their best.

Quiet Mind

Quiet minds give us access to a power greater than us. You might call this god, spirit, oneness, universe, essence, or whatever word you choose.  Quieting your mind gives you access to an energy that connects all of creation. This energy invites you to be your best and make the world a better place.

If you have difficulty connecting with your inner wisdom, you might want to learn more about the Enneagram.

The Enneagram is a great map and tool for personal growth. It can help you to peel off the lies you tell about yourself.

The first step is to start the process to discover your Enneagram type. Each type represents one of nine ways to survive in the world. You receive your type early in life. 

As you learn to observe yourself in action, you will become more attuned to what is going on within you and around you. You are more and more connected to your inner wisdom.

Discerning your type will help you know when you are getting stuck in your personality and show you when you are letting down the walls freeing you to be your best self.

If you want to connect with essence, you need to slow down and create space for you to connect to your inner wisdom.

Do something active to help you feel what is going on in your body. Put your hand over your heart area to help you be aware of your emotions. Find a practice to quiet your mind, and this could be through praying, meditating, sitting in silence, going for a walk, gardening, listening to music, and whatever works for you.

Most of all, stay present and curious about what is going on within you.  Your inner wisdom will show you the way when you stop and pay attention to what is going on within you.
