Trusting Your Intuitive Process (Exchange with Your Never Sleeping Beauty)

Surrender, trust and leaving room for surprise...
This summer Your Never Sleeping Beauty she reached out to me for a collaboration. It was time! But what to create? I'm pleasantly surprised by what unfolded.
Here is our audio exchange.
I'm honoured to have held this space for Your Never Sleeping Beauty as she processed her healing process and felt into trusting her intuition to guide the way with the shadow work around a traumatic experience. She needed a bit of a reminder: She can trust her own intuitive process.
We were going to share this on her channel, but she gifted me with these words:
"This exchange shows your beautiful skills and gifts, which is EXACTLY the reason why I started following your channel in the first place (my respect for you in what you were/are doing). It shows what you can do and it needs to be showcased on your channel."
Maybe next time we'll showcase her skills over on hers. ;) I've loved watching her grow into her own videos expressions over the the time we've known each other on KZbin. I'm so happy she reached out to me to let me know she was out there creating too!
See her beautiful channel here:

Thanks so much for holding space this for me to process too, through your own processing!
So much love and gratitude for us all finding each other through videos over the years!
Lotsa love,
Amanda

// Videos are from my summer trip in France 2020. The things I was seeing between our conversations, as the work was swirling. Feels fitting. :)

It's so beautiful to see two friends connect and support each other on such a deep level, I love this project. My ENFP friend and I just reconnected after a few weeks and we were marveling over how a half hour work lunch was enough to connect deeply in the way we needed to. Feeling really seen by someone, even if only for five minutes, is always intensely rejuvenating for me. I was laughing because Your Never Sleeping Beauty when you were thinking off the cuff it sounded exactly like me in conversations with my friends, including the over thinking and "I really hope this makes sense!" parts 😂 I accidentally wandered into following my intuition to process my feelings, I didn't have an awareness I was doing it until you spoke about your process and it clicked. I've tried to dig on occasion thinking it was needed but it never seems to work. I do use music to draw things out I know are lurking but I can't quite tap into or am not brave enough to look at directly. I'm happy I heard your discussion when I did, there are some good but very painful changes coming in my life and having more awareness of what works for me is empowering 💖

Thanks so much Jaimie! Love hearing about how you accidentally wandered into following your intuition and some of the things you do to get into that space. Nice to connect! :D

Aww the cute little lambs! So cool. "This is it." The hardest part of trusting your intuition is the waiting period. I've been diving into fully embracing and trusting my intuition. Having faith in it, so to speak. And it's great. This tool I've honed my whole life, that I can look back and see it has always found the right path, I can trust it, because I have evidence it works. And yet, I still question it, because it's what I do to keep honing it. In doing so, I notice the real trouble comes in knowing what will happen, but knowing I have to wait as well. That's the strange part. To say, "I know this will come up," but at the same time not knowing exactly when, or even knowing exactly when, and then realizing it's far away in time, but still occupying my mind now. It's a great small world to see you two talking. I'm glad I somehow found my way to this frequency.

[@AmandaExpressions]

Haha yesss, I love the lambs too! So sweet, right? :) Thanks Leon for sharing about your own journey with this type of work. It's very inspiring to get to hear from others on this topic and I'm also so happy and grateful to have found my way to this frequency. ;) Thanks for expressing it in that way!

This is a lovely work of art - revelatory, delicate, strong, luminous, amusing, insightful, and inspirational. Thank you for all of it. What a privilege to collaborate with you in this way. I love your generous and compassionate heart.

[@AmandaExpressions]

Hi you guys I identify as infj, lol. Perhaps in my own snowflake kind of way. After a long day I like to decompress. If you're looking at me it's like I'm talking to myself. All rehash the day in my brain and celebrate or correct anything that didn't come out right and make sure I fix it. That's my healthy process. A while back I had gotten into a snit, I was looping,or ruminating. Something triggered me into a very strange place. I found (your never sleeping beauty) at that time, and her videos helped me come back from it. Tonight I found myself rehashing the day with my son. I'm celebrating it in my mind and looking to fix anything that was needed. It feels very healthy. Ruminating is like being at a funeral and your thinking of something that reminds you them. And somehow you get into a space where you're doing that to yourself in multiple ways. Looking back it feels really dum. But that seems to be me at my worst in my process. Thanks you guys

To process by 'floating' rather than 'digging' makes sense to me. When I write, the process is more like watching leaves floating on a steam.

[@AmandaExpressions]

Love the image of leaves on the stream... thanks for sharing.

I have started to journal more now to express my feelings and I have learned how to see my emotions on paper and how it makes a.difference. INFJ

[@AmandaExpressions]

Oh that is such a good practice Michele! Happy for you!

A short version of this now exists here. Thanks again!
