Hello everyone and welcome to Connect to Center, the podcast that explores how intuition shows up and is used by different people to center their life. Today we're interviewing Bev Durwills-Brown from 3 Deep Breathz. Welcome, Bev. Thanks, Michelle. Thanks for having me on. You're so welcome. Let's start with some questions where we can learn more about you. Bev, how does your intuition show up in your life? Great question. Michelle, I think it's just a thing that's there all the time. It's just a feeling that I've learned to tune into. And how do you tune into it or how do you know it's there? Can you tease it out a bit more? Probably it's a learned thing. It's something that I've put lots of time and energy into learning. It's something I felt I've always had and as we all do. And I've put time into learning what that is and how to listen to it and indeed to trust it. And I will now tune into my intuition if I have a big decision to make or if I have a situation like a sliding doors moment that I'm not sure which way to go. I'll take a moment, stop, very often just put my hand on my solar plexus and just under my ribcage and listen to my intuition. Thanks, Bev. I'm interested to know if it's listening that is the main way that your intuition expresses itself to you. When we talk about intuition, the idea of the clairs often comes into the discussion, which are a range of intuitive abilities. Most of us are familiar with the idea of clairvoyance, which is clear seeing of events, people or places through mental images or visions. But there's other types of clairs, like clairaudience, to do with hearing, or clairsentience, to do with feeling. with taste or inner knowing. So I was wondering how it shows up for you. For me, it's a feeling. And if I tune in, like I've just said, I can feel something almost in my stomach. I can feel if it's good or not. But I also... Intuitively, if I walk into a room, I can feel energy. I can feel if something's a bit off. I can feel if there's been an argument in the space. I can feel if an area isn't great and maybe we shouldn't be there. Equally, I can feel joy and very often reduced to tears of happiness or intense emotion just on a feeling. Does the feeling... come in different parts of your body or is weight or light or emotion or you dig into what a feeling is a bit more? Yeah, it's probably a little bit of all of that. I would assert that every circumstance is different. So every moment is different. So it can be an emotion. I can feel intense joy or almost sadness and sadness might come as a heaviness. Equally, sometimes I feel tearful for a reason and tears can come through intense joy or And also experiencing, if I feel there's a suffering in an area, I can sometimes tear up for seemingly no reason, nothing in front of me, but I feel it. I think it shows itself in different ways depending on the circumstance. Sometimes it feels like a physical thing in my body or on my body, and other times it's from the inside. I'll feel like a butterfly feeling in my stomach or an anxious, tight feeling in my stomach. Wow, that's so different to how some of that is for me. And how did this evolve throughout your life? I would feel stuff and then just feel that I was the odd one out. I definitely never verbalized it to people because I thought it was weird. At some stage, I made the decision that these feelings were weird. And then I related to them like they were weird for years. And I just didn't really speak to them about them at all. I think I was a little embarrassed and I didn't come from a background of anything like this. I didn't feel like there was anyone to talk to about it. Yeah, I just kept it almost quiet. The first time I'm aware of talking about it was probably when I was about 18 and I met a fabulous woman called Louise Hardy and she just upped up the conversation one day. I suddenly thought, oh, this is a thing. I'm not weird. Other people have these feelings and these thoughts and there's a thing called intuition that you can actually trust. It was like a revelation to me. And how do you use it now to enrich your life? I use it all the time. So now it's part of my toolkit of living life. It's absolutely, I embrace it as part of who I am. So if I have a, on a day-to-day, if I feel something, I listen to it. I don't second guess it. For example, I might be driving down the road and I feel there's something off. I will take notice. I'll either slow down. Maybe if it's at night, I might come off that road and take another road if there's an option. So I take actions to the feelings now. Or if I walk into a room and there's something off, I'll feel the room and then just address it as soon as I can. If it's appropriate, talking to it, find out what's going on, really heighten my listening to listen for what might have happened or is there something I need to be aware of. I'm very much more in tune with it and it's part of who I am. And I also do a lot of pendulum work. I use my pendulum a lot. So if there's major decisions to be made in my life, For business or life, I'll use my pendulum to tune in and just really listen to what intuition says and what the energy is advising. And it may not be the be-all and end-all what the pendulum says, but I definitely take it into consideration. Thanks, Bev. It sounds like you've got it really well integrated into your life. I'm really struck by the point about not second-guessing yourself, about always trusting your intuition. I think many of us waste a lot of time by either spending a lot of time on trying to make the right decision, on trying to analyze the right factors or really figure out what information to trust, including information coming from our body. So we can take up a lot of time in making the decision and then still take up a lot of time even after the decision's made. A great piece of advice that I was once given is if you want to create more time in your life is once you've made a decision, Let it go. Don't keep revisiting it and wondering if you made the right one because it's made. And I've certainly always found that very useful. Sometimes I worry about big decisions, but I've learnt that the moment it's done, the moment I've finally actioned it in some way, any anxiety I have around it will very quickly dissipate and I simply move on. It's been fantastic hearing about all your learnings and I'm wondering what advice you'd give to anyone else who wants to go down this path. I think the starting point might just be listening. We throw it around in conversation in our society like, oh, listen to my gut. Oh, I should listen to my gut. Start to think of what that is for you. What does listening to your gut feel like? I guess a starting point as I'm speaking to you might be starting with a meditation and if meditation feels too mumbo-jumbo, simply sit on your bedroom floor for five minutes before you go to bed and just be quiet. Be quiet and listen for what comes because something will come and then listen to that. I think there's a huge value, Michelle, for taking quiet time and listening because intuition is talking to us and We all live very busy lives that are very full, and I think we often don't hear when intuition is talking. I saw a lovely saying recently that when we quiet our mind, it enables the soul to come through. Absolutely, yeah. And lastly, where can listeners find you and engage with your fabulousness?
