Published ArticlesCan the body really talk?
by Lori WilsonIn the past few years, more and more people are asking themselves ... where are this ever increasing "hits" of wisdom coming from. You may be walking in nature or driving your car and hear a little helpful message pop into your head. You may be at work or greet a loved one and "sense" that something is not quite right.
Can the body really talk? This is a question that has been asked and studied in numerous ways over centuries. Energy is everywhere. Energy can be measured, felt, communicated and changed by interacting with other energy sources. So why has it been so hard for us to imagine that the body can communicate with us energetically, as well?
Medical intuition is a field that is recognized and growing as a way to tune into the body's wisdom. While this field of study is relatively new by way of public and professional use, many healing practitioners, intuitives, psychics, channellers and people in general have been "tuning" in for eons. So how are they tuning in?
If you asked 1,000 medical intuitives how they do their work, you would likely get as many different answers. Consider the body to be an electrical system. Both the body and the energy field surrounding it are electrically charged. Within this charge, or energy field, all information about its past and present -- and some even believe its future -- are stored. The body remembers incidents, feelings and thoughts, and it stores information about outside influences, as well.
People who are intuitive or have trained themselves to pay attention to energy may perceive what the body is "saying" to them in a variety of ways. Some may hear, see or sense words, symbols, pictures, movies, see X-ray images or sense physical sensations within their own body.
Styles of perceiving
Some medical intuitives do what is commonly referred to as an intuitive/psychic reading. They may focus on their client's energy field, and specific areas either randomly present themselves or information comes forth when it is queried. How can information "come up"? In this energy field, many blue-printed memories or conditions are very "loud" energetically. Strong emotions, trauma, physical injury, accidents, sickness, disease and even strong beliefs work their way to the forefront of the energy field and can often be sensed or perceived by sensitive people.Some medical intuitives are channeling information from their "Guides." Guides are most commonly people, animals or other energies who are not in a physical form. This third party, in its place of higher wisdom, reflects upon the client and their body.
Many practitioners who work with the body find that information literally jumps out at them as they interact in a healing fashion with their client's body. Some medical intuitives use their insight gained as part of their healing tools, while others use it for information gathering only.
Other medical intuitives are trained to follow a specific system as they approach the body. They may notice an area that draws their attention, or has energy blockages, and focus their attention using specific tools, which they have been trained to use. Many look at the body under the lens of pre-established maps, such as auras, chakras, meridian lines, colors or fields of study, that assign specific emotions to designated areas or organs in the body.
Still other medical intuitives are trained to scan the body in a systematic fashion, yet discipline themselves not to use established maps or modalities to interpret what the body is sharing. These practitioners use the physiology as an entry point and are open to whatever shows up as they maintain their focus on the client's unique energy field as it chooses to present itself.
This leaves at least 995 more styles and definitions of medical intuitives for you to explore! This work can be done in person or at a distance.
If you are considering engaging the services of a medical intuitive, do be an educated consumer. Currently this is not a regulated field and it is very easy to be impressed by an intuitive practitioner who can pick up on things in your body and life. Ask many questions. Have a clear understanding of how they are doing this work. Ask how they are receiving this information, what is their background and training and what is their knowledge base in physiology. If they are providing diagnoses or recommendations, are they trained to do this? Are the recommendations coming from your own body or their own practitioner knowledge base or personal preferences?
Be a discerning consumer, as we all work together to bring credibility, research and professional and ethical standards to this exciting field. You deserve direct and clear information from your body and do not need anyone else to interpret it for you. Trust yourself. After all, you have lived with your body 24 hours a day since you were born. Medical intuition can provide important pieces of your wellness puzzle. Take the information gained through this work to members of your own healing team and explore what pieces of the puzzle hold value for them.

Where is that Wisdom Coming From?
by Lori WilsonIn the past few years, more and more people are asking themselves ... where are this ever increasing "hits" of wisdom coming from. You may be walking in nature or driving your car and hear a little helpful message pop into your head. You may be at work or greet a loved one and "sense" that something is not quite right. Sometimes you might feel an unrelated physical symptom just jump into your body. What are these pieces of information that bombard us each day and where are they coming from?
Intuition, wisdom, higher guidance, guardian angles, psychic wisdom, guides, channeled wisdom, medical intuition, gut feelings ... and even your good old "spidey-sense" are some ways that this increase in heightened intuition can be described. Like it or not, intuition is here to stay. It is a natural skill and human resource that we have all been born with. Dependent on the social culture or politics of the times, it may have been fostered or stamped out of us. Since 1989, which ushered in a great time of planetary and energy shifts, many people have been tuning not higher wisdom and trusting themselves more. We are not the same people we were back then. More recently in the last 5 years, we have experienced a second surge of this natural way of being. Much of this is also thanks to the expanding media coverage and published works that are giving credibility to this exciting birthright tool.
Just as there are many places we can access wisdom and resources in visible and tangible ways, so are there as many places to access the more invisible sources of wisdom. As you hear a little helpful message during your walk or upon drifting off to sleep ... do you know where it is coming from? We can train ourselves to discern between the various sources of wisdom. First you might want to have an idea of what sources of higher wisdom are out there. There is our own wisdom, our internal wise, clear voice that is often referred to as our higher self, or wise self. Then there are a host of guides or guardians that each and everyone has available to them at all times. These Guides can be in many forms, but their overall role is to support and guide us. Sometimes the support comes in conscious ways, and at other times they are very subtle. We can receive guidance, support and wisdom from nature, from animals, from loved ones who have passed on, from our body, from energies not of this earth, from planets, from legendary or mythical characters and more.
Time and practice will be your biggest allies becoming more open to these subtle energies and messages. Being willing to not censor and to let the information flow is also helpful. Take the first thing that pops into your awareness or mind. It may be a word, a phrase, a song, a symbol, a picture, a color. Try not to censor or figure it all out. Get accustomed to the energy and imagine that it is here to help. Explore the energy, messages or sensations without needing to understand it all fully. You have a right to ask questions, to invite the energies of higher wisdom to be present ... and to structure the way you wish to be a part of this privileged exploration. There is no need to entertain all sorts of wise energies when you are trying to sleep before a busy day. Structure your exploration. Relax, breathe, have an opening and a closing routine to help set the structure to these newer relationships. Writing things down is helpful and keeps your busy mind from interfering too much.
Will you feel like you are making it all up to be journalling messages from great Aunt Sally who passed on when you were four, or to be communing with the Oak Tree in your back yard? Absolutely! Making it up is a great way to frame this new experience. If you are simply making things up, then you can let the information or sensations flow more easily. Can you get into trouble spots practicing trusting your own inner wisdom and other sources floating around out there? Not really. Only if you are experiencing extreme circumstances of mental instability are you under any risk of losing track of your grounded life while tuning into other potential wisdom.
Once you have got a sense of the different sources of wisdom that are available and an idea how you experience them differently you will be in a better position to draw on this extra wisdom at will. It does not ever replace solid help from everyday resources, but is a great tool for those double checks and extra doses of support we can also stand to have in life. Some practitioners offer intuitive services using titles such as: channeling, psychic readings, mediumship and medical intuition. In all you do, be a discerning and educated consumer. Ask good questions and do not be shy if you do not understand where they are getting the information from. It is all well and good to be impressed by a person who can tune into your energy field and share some accurate information with you, but know where they got that information from. After all, many other professions have expertise we do not fully understand at first. Ask questions so that you can become more oriented to how they work.
Did a practitioner tune into a 3 rd party through one of their wise guides and channel that wisdom for you? Did they receive it in a psychic impression directly from your own energy field that holds all information ? Did they access the information through your physical body by a medical intuition scan? Did they get the message from a loved one who you would know who has passed on into what mediums refer to as "spirit"? These are just some of the more common ways that people receive their intuitive information and share it with clients.
If you asked 100 Intuitives how they do their work, you would likely get as many different answers. Consider for a moment, the Body to be an electrical system. Both the Body itself and the energy field surrounding the Body are electrically charged. Within this charge, or energy field, all information about it's past and present and some even believe it's future are stored. The Body remembers incidents, feelings, thoughts and stores information about outside influences as well.
You need be comfortable and knowledgeable about where practitioner information is coming from, to truly use the information for your best and highest good. If a practitioner can not tell you where they get their messages from, then find someone else. If you are receiving advice, recommendations or directions about your life and especially your health, ask again, where this information is coming from. Be a scientist in your own life. Notice how different sources of wisdom sound and feel. There is an incredible amount of information available to all and it is written all over your energetic field. In time, we will all learn how to pick up on these seemingly invisible bits of information and wisdom. Until then, explore, be discerning and playful. Above all, trust your own self. You are always the one that knows you best!
