9/24/26: The Quiet Knowing

Let me ask some questions.

Have you ever known something without being able to explain how you knew it? Maybe you've had a strong feeling about taking a different route home or to call a loved one or make a decision that, in hindsight, turned out to be exactly what was needed.

Experiences like these are examples of intuition connecting inward into our clear knowing, our clear cognizance.

This inner knowing thing.

can arise without conscious reasoning.

It is an invitation to pay closer attention to ourselves.

One of the beautiful gifts of self-care is learning to listen, not only to the outside voices around us, but to the quiet, quiet wisdom that lives within.

In our busy world, we're constantly surrounded by noise, notifications on our phones, our computers.

And we're so accustomed to this outside world, this outside noise that we forget to check in with ourselves.

The practice of self-care creates space for that inner conversation.

Many people who identify with this claircognizance, this heart-to-heart connection, describe receiving insights suddenly.

They weren't always accompanied by emotion or dramatic experiences.

Instead, they often say that the knowing arrives quietly.

with a deep sense of certainty that is difficult to explain.

It may come to us while we're standing in the kitchen washing dishes or cooking or out on our walk in nature or driving or in our meditation in the morning or out in the garden or just simply sitting.

The messages can come at any time.

And the message often feels calm rather than urgent.

That's the difference.

It's calm rather than urgent.

It's gentle rather than fearful.

It's clear rather than confusing.

One important practice is learning the difference between this inner wisdom and the outer anxiety that's created in the world.

This outer world anxiety, it speaks quickly.

It demands attention immediately.

It creates fear and worst case scenarios.
