Have you ever “trusted your gut” only to be disappointed at the outcome?

Felt that your gut has led you astray? Have you decided that having a hunch, guessing, or even hypothesizing “without proof” is such a lame approach that you now steer clear from any thought that doesn’t appear to have a “logical” basis?

If so, it proves what I’ve always said: The gut gets a bad rap.

It’s my opinion that it’s not that our guts have pulled us off course, but rather the way we interpret—or misinterpret—what that good ol’ gut is trying to tell us. That’s why the real question is, How do we know what our gut is REALLY saying?

August Energy Updates from Mary and Heart of Gaia

What a whirlwind month of deliciously golden light: open wide to receive the blessings pouring down from the Sun and coming up from the vibrant Mother Earth (Gaia), weaving all around from the expansive heart energy on offer in this month of the Heart

of the Zodiac, Leo.

Here my husband is dying and talking about how being human is supposed to feel like a vacation. Although I dutifully jotted down a few notes in the notebook we were keeping of his ideas, the only thing I heard in my head was, “If this were really a vacation, we’d both be having a lot more fun—and, oh, BTW, you wouldn’t be dying.”

I used to dream that I was attempting to run but my legs felt like lead weights, so no matter how much I tried I could never make any real progress. I could never really get anywhere. I’d wake up sweating and frustrated and crying.

Who or what was I trying to get away from? Where was I trying to run to or away from?  I never knew the answer, only that I felt desperate, and desperately inadequate to the task.

How do you stop feeling like a victim when you are in so much pain?
