Intuition is Our Soul’s GPS By: Ali Guggenheim / Psychic Phenomenon Whether you call it intuition, gut feeling, sixth sense, a hunch, etc., we have all been gifted with this protective resource of infinite potential. It is inevitable that throughout our lives we will experience situations that “feel or don’t feel right.” The key is how we respond. Do you listen to your “Soul’s GPS” or do you dismiss it? The word Intuition stems from the Latin word “intueri” which means to look deeply within. However, “without learning how to look and listen to our intuition, we tend to rely solely on the limited rational mind or external input from others, which can quickly lead us astray” explains Loner Wolf. Sir Arthur Eddington was right when he said, “Something unknown is doing… we don’t know what.” Whether we are aware of it or not, everything is always in a state of transmitting and receiving. Therefore, we are constantly in wireless broadcasting with everything around us. Life as we know it, means that we are in a perpetual state of being bombarded with positive and negative messages, thoughts and vibrations that travel at a faster speed than light. Because of this, it can be difficult for most people to turn off their analytical brain - especially when emotionally charged. For thousands of years, many spiritual traditional philosophies such as Buddhist, Hindi, etc., have connected intuition with planes of higher consciousness. Today, in the age of technology where life is sped up, most people don’t make time for deep connective contemplation. “Many scientists and researchers are now referring to intuition as the highest form of intelligence we possess.” In other words, “trusting your gut isn’t woo-woo, it’s a science-backed skill,” claims Francis Cholle. With practice, anyone can develop intuition as a decision-making skill. To refine your sensitivity to gut instincts and intuitive nudges, it’s critical to make space for intuition to grow and to pay more attention to it. Bottom line: When you listen to your intuition, you will be wrong once in a while… but, when you don’t listen, you are always wrong.

Here’s what Dennis Boyd offered: Dennis Boyd “As we get older, it takes additional time for our bodies to adjust to physical activities. I often hear ‘The older I get, the shorter I hit the ball and the more my body aches.’ This is common feedback amongst senior athletes.” Stretching can have a significant impact on how we feel, how we play and how far we hit the ball. Dennis suggests the following exercises that can help you get ready to perform your best: 1. Single Knee to Chest Stretch: Lay on your back (preferably on pillows or an exercise mat), grabbing a single knee, pull toward your chest. If you need additional help performing this exercise, take a towel and wrap it under your knee, then grab both sides of the towel and pull. Perform this for approximately two minutes per knee per day. 2. Sitting Resisted Rotations: Tie an exercise band to either a door or bed post (Chest high while sitting.) Grab a chair without armrests, while sitting, grab the band with both arms and rotate your shoulders and arms in opposite direction (keeping level with chest). Perform 1-3 sets at 10-15 repetitions. These simple exercises will increase flexibility and agility which will allow you to generate more power and feel better. These are great exercises; whether you’re just teeing it up with friends or participating in a senior golf tournament. It should help you feel better, but most importantly for golfers - “hit the ball farther.” Thank you, Dennis for your contribution. If you practice at the Desert Willow’s GC as I do, you will recognize Dennis if you observe a gentleman making 8 to 10 putts in a row from 15 feet. Yes, he’s that good. Mike Landry resides in Sun City MacDonald Ranch and is a member of both the Nevada State Seniors Golf Club and Winterwood Men’s Group. He can be reached at: airmikel1@cox.net
