Intuition has been a lifelong companion and friend to Judith Orloff, MD, a psychiatrist and empath who has devoted her career to helping people access their own inner wisdom. Her bestselling books have taught readers how to tap into their intuitive powers, create more positive energy, and nurture their empathic souls. In her wisdom years, she finds that relying on her own intuition is the key to heightened creativity and productivity as she creates new work to offer the world. Tuning into her intuition has helped her define and redefine her mission over the years. She suggests that trusting your gut is one of the ways to find new purpose in life.
"What intuition can do, no matter what age, is to help you tune into yourself, your own heart, your own spiritual path, your own gut feelings, your own aha moments, your own premonitions, your own body knowings, and your own connection to nature, in every moment of life," says Orloff, whose latest book is Affirmations for Empaths. "It helps you to stay in the moment and be open to realizations and possibilities."
As people age, they often have enough evidence, or regrets, to know that there are times in their life when they wished they had followed their instincts or hunches. "If you've had a lifetime of worry and of concern, now is the time to dare to listen to your intuition," she says. "What do you have to lose?"
The wisdom years are a unique stage of life when people feel less inclined to waste time and more inclined to spend their energy on meaningful pursuits. "The great thing about aging is that as eternity grows nearer, things become clearer," says Orloff. "Don't second-guess yourself. There's a still, small voice inside that will tell you the truth about things. Have that be what guides you in your life. Do not argue with it or let the ego get in the way. Decide, 'This is how I want to lead my life and I'm going to trust myself."

Let's Not Limit Nature- According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, nature is first defined as "the external world in its entirety," with etymological roots from multiple cultures and originating meanings
The ancient Greeks had no word for art. Many indigenous people have no word for religion. Art and religion were inherent to human life until outsiders needed to critique and study these concepts-so they named them. The legacy of the word nature is similar. We speak about nature as if we are separate from itas if, like a starkly delineated shadow on a sidewalk, you can stand with one foot in nature and one foot outside of it.
Recognizing and Tuning Into Medical Intuition- How one woman learned to trust her instincts and heal her body
How one woman learned to trust her instincts and heal her body. According to Wendie Colter, founder of The Practical Path (a trademarked intuitive development program for health professionals) and author of Essentials of Medical Intuition: A Visionary Path to Wellness, intuition permeates every aspect of our lives. Some call it a gut instinct. Others call it a hunch. Still others receive messages from their higher self. But whatever the name, that sense of knowing, feeling, or sensing can guide us toward healing.

Manifesting is a process whereby you utilize the power within yourself to have an intention occur that ultimately is not pure self-interest," .What it takes to hit all your goals is a fierce dedication to your quest over time and that means sinking your goals so deep into your subconscious that your conscious mind automatically tracks paths to take you to those goals like a bloodhound on the scent of synchronicities.
TIME TO TAKE THE RISK
We shall awaken from our dullness and rise vigorously toward justice. If we fall in love with creation deeper and deeper, we will respond to its endangerment with passion.-Hildegard of Bingen, 12th-century Benedictine mystic, medical practitioner, writer, and composer

Over the MOON About Helping Animals (and Their People)
Since I was a child, I've had a ritual: Every night, I go outside and search the sky for the moon and stars. I marvel at the magnificence of a dark, crisp, clear, midnight blue sky and its symphony of constellations, occasional meteors, and the glorious moon herself-each illuminating the vastness. This simple practice always gives me the deepest peace and centeredness. It aligns my internal compass every night before bed.

Unlikely Lightworkers from Liverpool
The Beatles were more than musical masters-they were spiritual pioneers.
ANTI-RACISM IS A SPIRITUAL PRACTICE
GROWING UP in very charismatic and evangelical Christian spaces, I was told that the Devil's greatest trick was convincing us that he didn't exist. I feel a similar vibe when it comes to the big three systems of oppression-capitalism, patriarchy, and white supremacy-in New Thought and other spiritual spaces. These systems managed to convince some of us that they don't exist, we are immune from them, talking about them isn't helpful, or we will overcome them just by doing our spiritual practices.
