hasty," or "They are probably just nervous being new to the job," or "I'm probably overreacting." Over time, the new colleague begins to let his guard down. You begin to see evidence for your (earlier) uncomfortable feelings as this employee soon develops a reputation for backstabbing behavior and petty comments. In the end, our gut instinct (our intuition) usually ends up being right.

Accessing Your Inner Wisdom
We are all capable of listening inwardly to access our innate wisdom. Even though we receive information on an intuitive level all of the time, it becomes increasingly difficult to hear our inner voice if we are constantly bombarded with external stimuli. In fact, we have become so skilled at surrounding ourselves with external 'noise' (including the distractions of keeping ourselves busy doing something - anything - rather than simply being), that it has become nearly impossible to hear the subtle messages, the internal guidance.

You can access your inner wisdom from a place of quiet - of simply being in the present moment - and connecting with your inner self. When you receive ideas and thoughts that seem to come spontaneously to you, it is often your higher (intuitive) self, guiding you to those things you most need to do and 'become.'

As well, you receive information via your bodily sensations. For example, as you allow your conscious mind to become quiet, think back to a past decision that turned out to be very positive. Try to recall the inner felt-sense that you experienced. As you identify the specific physical sensations, allow yourself to feel them (anchoring what these feel like) for a moment. Next, recall when you made a decision that turned out to be wrong for you. Notice how your body feels at this moment. Again, do your best to identify the specific sensations and simply experience them for a moment. Make mental notes as you distinguish between the two felt-sense experiences. Anchoring the different inner sensations will help you to read your body's intuitiveness.
