I rely very heavily on my intuition for guidance in my personal and professional life.  And, over the years, I have learned to trust the information I receive implicitly.  However, there is one aspect of working with intuitive information that I do find irritating, even as I completely recognize the need for it.  I like to call this aspect “accurate misinformation.”

Sometimes Divine Truth is the information we most need to hear right now in order to move us forward towards a specific path.  Sometimes, our Higher Selves and our Guides know that it will take a certain piece of information to guide us towards our highest path and purpose – even if that piece of information turns out to be inaccurate.  Yes, our Higher Selves are not beyond misleading us in our own highest good.

Let me illustrate with a rather personal example:  After the birth of my daughter, I struggled with a chronic health condition that, while minor, created a great deal of disruption in my life.  Many treatment options, from surgery to pharmaceutical options to physical therapy presented themselves.  Prescription drugs actually offered me immediate, much-needed relief.  While managing this condition with medication, I tried out a few other, more permanent treatment option, including physical therapy.  Using my intuition, I eventually designed my own yoga practice to correct the issue I was experiencing. All in all, I felt much better.  But I was highly reluctant to go off my medication, fearing that my symptoms would return.  So, while pursuing my alternative treatment plan, I stayed on my prescription drugs.

One day I was overcome with the very odd impression that I might be pregnant.  This was certainly not impossible, though not exactly probable.  All dowsing and intuitive processes confirmed a pregnancy.  It would have been too soon for a pregnancy test to yield accurate results.  And so I did what any responsible woman in my situation would hopefully do – I went off my prescription medication.  To my great relief, I did not suffer the return of any previous symptoms.  Six days later, I discovered that I definitely was not pregnant.

Was I upset?  Absolutely!  Would any other information have persuaded me to stop my medications?  Honestly – no.  When I first began my alternative treatment plan, I had set my intention to no longer need prescription medication.  But fear truly kept me from going off the drugs.  And so my Higher Self gave me the only piece of information that would lead me to make the choice most in alignment with my intention, and my highest path and purpose.  The possibility of a pregnancy was truly the only thing that made me do the “right” thing.  So, as irritating as it is, in hindsight I am grateful.  Using my intuitive resources, I devised my own alternative treatment plan – under the care of my physician, who was thankfully very open-minded – and it allowed me to avoid possible surgery!  And I no longer need prescription medication.  Over all, this was a very empowering experience.  But, along the way, I needed a big shove from my Higher Self.

Occasionally, we receive information that, while not factual, is accurate nevertheless.  It is what we need to know, in that moment, in order to make the choice most in alignment with our highest path and purpose.  Our Higher Self does not mislead us.  But it knows us better than we sometimes know ourselves.
