Dear Knower of all things,

There is a Wisdom innate within you, within me. Connecting with Wisdom Innate is a gift endowed on the human being. I’m not speaking of the wisdom of learning and knowledge nor am I speaking of the wisdom gained in life experience. These two are valuable forms of wisdom but not our topic today.

I’m talking about Wisdom Innate – a far more comprehensive field of greater wisdom in which are answers and solutions and clarifications for most of our interests, needs and concerns.

How to access this? It’s something that comes naturally to you but it has been forgotten. So it is first a matter of remembering.

Here’s an easy way to begin to remember:

Take a moment right now, it won’t take long. Close your eyes and in your mind think of something that you know. Something you are certain you know, that is irrefutably true to you. In my case for instance, it might be, “I know I am a writer.” Or for you, perhaps, “I know I love my child.” “I know I have a cold.” I know my friend, Jenna, loves and respects me.”

Thinking of each of these things you know for sure, feel the frequency of knowing. It has a vibe, doesn’t it, a recognizable feeling? It is identifiable. Spend a little time doing this regarding several things you know. You may feel the knowing in your heart or in your energy field, or as a tingling on your scalp or a warmth in your chest.

It may vary, depending on what you think of. This is interesting as well. Explore all feelings, the sensations, the quality of knowing things for sure. Some ways of experiencing it are stronger, some much more subtle. Sort through it all.

Next, think of a time when suddenly you knew something you couldn’t explain. You had a premonition, you felt a warning that came true. You knew your friend was going to call and they did. Let’s not frame this in terms of improving your psychic ability or intuition, that is not our focus for the moment.

Focus on the experience of coming to know, the feeling of being sure, though it can’t be explained. A time when you felt certain and then you learned your knowing was right. Notice what that certainty felt like. Perhaps you felt a start or small jolt. Or goosebumps. Perhaps you one moment just didn’t know and the next you did and you marveled and wondered how that could be, wondering whether it was right and feeling delighted when you learned it was.

Perhaps you got a idea in your head and you can reflect back on how your mind circled it with suspicion because it couldn’t be explained. This can be part of what knowing is like too. Go into several of these moments from your past. Find the frequency that’s part of the experience of knowing. Can you sense it, feel it?

This is the frequency of coming to know. “Knowing” has a distinct frequency. Learning to recognize it is very helpful.
By identifying it you are actually bringing energy to support your knowing. You are creating awareness, deepening your intimacy with knowing. This is a very useful thing to do.

Now, while anchored in your memory of knowing – in the vibration of knowing – I’d next like you to think of something you’d like to know. “I’d like to know if I’m in the right job for now.” “I’d like to know if I should date this person.” “I’d like to know if I should consider moving.” “I’d like to know if I’m on the right path.”

You might say it aloud, “Beloved Wisdom Innate within me, I’d like to know….” Hold the question lightly, invite your heart to teach you, let the resonance be felt, let your knowing be present.

No need to strain, no need to fear not getting an answer. Let it be easy. Notice what comes, what is perhaps felt, sensed, heard, seen. Or not. Just notice. If nothing comes, no worries. There is no pass/fail here.

Often my answers come quickly and nearly immediately. But many times they come later. So if no answer comes, continue to be anchored in your memory of knowing. Trust: the question has been posed. The answer will find you.

Sometimes it finds me days or even weeks later and in the middle of something entirely unrelated the answer pops in as a sudden “hit” or an image. Sometimes it feels almost like someone speaking to me.

Sometimes I suddenly feel the answer “near” and grab a pen and paper, writing quickly, and there it is. Occasionally in conversation with another I hear exactly what I needed to know. Or it may be that I pick up a book and find wonderful words that explain everything I wondered about. (more…)
