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. |
For some reason my intuition compelled me to join these forums and take a stab at answering your question.
Here are some possibilities:
(1) Since you originally started the club and were excited about it, maybe subconsciously you were unsure about the other teacher's level of enthusiasm, so your intuition urged you to talk about quitting the yoga club just to see how your friend would respond. For example, maybe you or someone you know seriously considered quitting a job or a relationship, but didn't really know why, but for some strange reason just felt this overwhelming need to quit. So maybe you or this other person walked in with the intention of leaving, only to learn how important the job or relationship was to all the other people involved. So even though your intuition pulled you toward doing one thing, which was leaving, the actual outcome was something totally different, and much better all around. It's like in the original Matrix movie where the Oracle tells Neo that he's going to die. The Oracle didn't tell him he was going to die just as a matter of fact, like a weather forecaster would tell someone that it's going to rain tomorrow. The Oracle told Neo he was going to die because that was exactly what he needed to hear in order to act and move toward the best outcome.
(2) One thing I often forget is that intuition and also synchronicity are really a two-way street. You are a part of other people's movies just as much as other people are a part of your own. Just as various other people, seemingly for no logical reason, come out of the woodwork to support you. You too, seemingly for no apparent reason, show up on the scene and support other people in there time of need. You may at times not even be aware of how you are helping someone. It sounds like your friend really enjoys teaching yoga with you. So she might have missed out on that opportunity if you didn't start the club in the first place. And if you didn't talk to her about your thoughts about leaving when you did, maybe she wouldn't have realized how much fun the club was and how important it was to her to keep it going. Maybe she would have taken it for granted or eventually looked at it as a burden.
(3) Last one I can think of is that maybe some other event many MANY years down the road is somehow tied in with your recent intuition around the yoga club. For example, in my experience, I may not know why something apparently "bad" is happening to me right there in the moment. But a couple years later or even a week later, something else that's related to that bad experience will then happen to me. And in the moment while it's happening or later on afterwards, I'll remember that past bad experience and say to myself "Wow! I'm really glad that I had to go through that difficult experience back then or this great thing that's happening now wouldn't have even occurred. And even if it did still occur, I wouldn't be able to see it or even know how to react to it."
I'm sure there are other possible explanations too. Hope this helps.
