We often struggle to connect with our intuition. The mind can be so loud. It tells us stories about ourselves, interprets others’ actions through the lens of our past experiences. In this noise, it can be hard to distinguish mental chatter from the quiet truth our intuition is trying to offer.
The mind’s job is to create thoughts. It’s a brilliant tool—it problem-solves, calculates, organizes and executes. The intellect is essential. But sometimes the mind becomes overactive. It houses our judgments, our criticisms, the stories we invent, our fears, and our resistance. And when these thoughts arise, we tend to filter them through our past—the impressions stored in our Chitta. The mind is powerful, and its storms can be overwhelming.
By contrast, intuition is often a quiet whisper. It’s that soft inner knowing—always there, but often drowned out by the storm. The mind is loud and persistent; it wants to be right. Intuition is subtle, compassionate, and wise. When we learn to listen, it gently leads us toward peace—toward decisions rooted in love, connection, and authenticity.
Calming the mind is not easy. But with patience and practice, it becomes possible. As we learn to pause and look inward, we begin to hear the heart’s quiet nudges. It takes humility to question our own perceptions. It takes courage to examine the stories we tell ourselves, and to view them from another perspective.
This is advanced yoga. Not the postures, not the stretching, not the external discipline—but the inner transformation. Yoga is the journey of becoming the version of yourself that you can be at peace with. All the practices, all the teachings, lead us here.
Wishing you a quiet, peaceful mind—and an inner knowing that brings you clarity, purpose, and deep connection.
Wishing you so much peace,
Crystal
