Hi, over the last few years I've worked on developing my intuition and have been helped many times by it - even had help avoiding 2 accidents. However I have had times when I just didn't know if I was being directed or as someone said above perhaps I was just responding to ego.
A particular incident a year ago is still a mystery to me. I'll have to give details for it to be understandable. In 2005 I started a yoga club in my small, fairly isolated town as there were no yoga teachers that year in our area. I couldn't imagine not being able to go to a yoga class! I asked another woman to help teach and she and I led the sessions on alternate months. We had alot of fun and met some great people and decided to run the club again in 2006. However as the time got closer to start the club again (after summer break) I kept getting messages to not teach... repeatedly. I talked this over with the other teacher and she became (understandably) upset so I consented to teach for the year even though my intuition was still telling me not to get involved. Well, we had a great year and I'm glad that I taught the club again but I have this ongoing undercurrent of doubt about my intuition now. My husband said it was just nerves related to not teaching over the summer months that caused my doubts but I really don't think it was that. I used the same connecting techniques that I usually use for my intuition and I believe it was telling me not to get involved.
I still rely upon my intuition but I'm a little wary of it now as if I had followed it I would have missed out on a great experience and alot of fun.
Does anyone have any thoughts for this kind of scenario? Do you think in time I will get an answer or see things in perspective? The experience lingers for me and I wonder if I will get a resolution.
Thanks for any responses.
