We’ve all felt this at some point:

“My intuition led me astray and I didn’t end up where I thought I would. What’s going on?”

It doesn’t feel good to believe that we are empowered in a direction with information from a soul level, only to find that it doesn’t seem to pan out. This directly hits on triggers in our subconscious mind around doubting, confusion and second-guessing ourselves.

If you’ve experienced any degree of this with loved ones, please know it is very common in today’s world. Given the level of enlightenment that humanity has reached, it’s normal for people lacking a spiritual practice to unconsciously draw from the judgmental collective consciousness energy. But what can you do to help them detach from the judgement and move into understanding? You change the conversation.
