Luminous building
I am suffering from a case of inarticulitis -- stiffening of the swollen blog mind, so that nothing flows. Christine Page would say in her perky British accent, "Well then, just go do something else."
I took a nap for an hour. It didn't help. Thank goodness I'm shamanistically scheduled this afternoon.
Part of the problem is that I am trying to describe with language and logic, what I learned with the mushier parts of my brain.
Here's something important. Lots of us developed our abilities to "read" situations out of fear -- in order to stay safe in dysfunctional families. These messages are generally picked up by the chakra in the solar plexus. Gut feelings. This is not intuituion. Intuition is a gut feeling that is passed through the heart chakra for compassion and then considered by the third eye, higher wisdom.
Those of us who have a solar plexes that have been conditoned by trauma, have to do quite a bit of checking, as well as healing split off parts of ourselves, before we rush off to follow our gut feelings, let alone share them with others.
Here's another fact that stuck. It is intrusive to "read" another person without first asking their permission.
