Boxes are built around us, in most cases, as protection and security, based on another's beliefs and fears. Our boxes are also built with wonderful lessons, thoughts, love and nurturing. Our boxes are secured layer upon layer and reinforced until they become our own personal beliefs, thoughts and of course, fears. They are built around us in a loving way to protect and to teach. They finally become part of who we are, our reality. These boxes are built firmly in place and are typically invisible to the human eye.

I am writing this because I have lived in the box of anxiety. Although my anxiety is not extreme, I have spend many hours, read many books and studied many different forms of therapy to try and understand. My truth is that I have come to understand and learn what I need to in this regard on my own from deciphering through what I had read and what I had been taught, but my base was a clear and concise understanding of my own personal reality and then applying the principles that I had learned, much through trial and error. I am a firm believer that we are all individual and that although we can share information and personal lessons learned, we each have to discover what works uniquely for us.
My most important lesson was coming to an understanding that there is a difference between a Gut Feeling based on Intuition and a Gut Feeling based on Fear and Anxiety. Gut feelings based on fear happen in direction relation to the boxes that have been built around us and that we continue to sustain. This is a fear that says "don't do that because this will happen." If we were to take a moment to feel this emotion, we would understand it to be fear. It FEELs different from Intuition.
An example of this happened a couple of weeks ago. I was at an event with my parents at an old outdoor church site built entirely of stone. We were about to walk up some steps, when down came a little girl, holding her dad's hand, when she began to HoP down the last couple of steps. The woman in front of me gasped loudly, looked sternly at the little girl and exclaimed, "oh don't do that, you are going to hurt yourself!" I saw the delight and excitement fall from the little girls eyes. This becomes a layer on her box. It takes many layers to securely trap ourselves into our boxes.
Intuition is a KNOWING. Knowing without a doubt and is not based on fear. There may be a warning attached to it, such as I don't want to take that turn and I am not sure why, but 'something' is telling me not to. Intuition can also lead us to many wonderful outcomes. Importantly is a tuning into these feelings, a knowing and understanding what is the driving force. For me, I have made a mindful effort to be aware of my feelings and emotions. This was really blown open wide when as I took this last course. I will given the skills and tools to take a moment to be aware of my surroundings, both internal and external and then name the feeling.
There is much to-do about Psychics and Mediums in our current society. I feel this is largely because we have so much interference in our lives. We are forgetting that the knowledge truly is within. We just have to stop and listen. We have to be still and quiet. We all have this gift, it is inherent in all of us. No exception. There are those who are more attuned just as there are those that are more athletically or mathematically tuned in. Any way that we look at it, it is there for us, if we choose to connect. Such as the athlete, who, although gifted in his sport, practices many hours a day, so to it takes practice to listen to our inner guidance and connect.
