Developing Your Intuition

In a world where we often rely on logic and facts, the idea of tapping into our intuition and opening our third eye might seem strange. But in simpler terms, it's about listening to that inner voice and paying attention to our instincts. Today I want to explore why trusting your gut matters, and give you some practical tips on how to lean into your intuition and activate your gifts.

We all have a story where we've either heeded our intuition and found it to be accurate, or perhaps regretted ignoring its subtle guidance, saying “I should have listened to my gut.” But what exactly is this inner compass, and how can we cultivate a consistent connection with it?

The key to opening our gifts and increasing our consistency is about knowing ourselves so well that we do not waver. It’s about having solid boundaries, and the deeper you understand your own boundaries and what they are, the more your gifts open up and the more accurate your intuition becomes. The clearer I was about who I was and having a sense of self, the more prominent my gifts became. This is not about learning to fortune tell or know the future; it is about leaning into the natural gifts we have been taught to quiet down and turn off.

These gifts may include but are not limited to: feeling other people’s emotions, having premonitions, knowing (or having a gut feeling), feeling sensations in the body, hearing frequencies and the list goes on.

For all of these gifts, it is very simple: It is about building trust within yourself. Trusting yourself means listening to that feeling inside you—your intuition. It's that sense of knowing something without really understanding why. Here's why it's important:

Better Decision Making: Your intuition can help you make better decisions. Sometimes, our gut knows what's right for us even when our brain can't figure it out.

Feeling Connected: Tuning into your intuition can make you feel more connected to yourself and the world around you. It's like tapping into a deeper level of understanding.

Finding Balance: Listening to your gut can help you find balance in your life. It's about trusting yourself and finding what's right for you.

Healing and Calm: Your intuition can also help you feel calmer and more at peace. It's like a guiding light that leads you towards healing and happiness.

Boosting Creativity: When you trust your gut, you open yourself up to new ideas and inspiration. It's like unlocking a treasure trove of creativity within yourself.

Five Tips to Tune into Your Intuition:

Now, let's break down some simple ways to start trusting yourself and opening your intuition:

Take Quiet Time: Find a quiet place to sit and just be with yourself. It could be in nature or even just in your room. Let your mind relax and see what thoughts and feelings come up. Meditation is the quickest way to build an accurate intuition.

Write It Down: Each time your intuition is on target, it will help to write down the date, how you felt, what it was that you were intuiting, and how it came to fruition. This will offer some clues into your specific intuition language.

Listen to Your Body: Pay attention to how your body feels in different situations. Your gut often speaks through physical sensations like a tightness in your chest or a flutter in your stomach. Taking the time to be mindful to come back into your body and really feel what is happening will help you to understand the language of your gift.

Trust Yourself: Believe in your own instincts and decisions. Even if they don't make sense to others, trust that you know what's best for you. The best way to get to know yourself is to deeply understand your boundaries and to get to know yourself.

Stay Curious: Be open to new experiences and ideas. Sometimes, our intuition guides us towards things we never would have considered otherwise. By staying curious you’re opening yourself up to a deeper and faster understanding into who you truly are and how your gifts work.

Developing your intuition is a skill that we can nurture—it's about honoring yourself and leaning into the gifts you were born with. Now, I know this is a really broad approach to developing your intuition. Because every single person is uniquely different and develops their senses in a multitude of ways, this is meant to be a fundamental guide to start developing this skill.
