How To Develop Your Intuition: 3 Essential Elements

How To Develop Your Intuition - 3 Essential Elements

What if I told you you had a superpower? Would you believe me?

I know the answer is probably no. But give me a minute here to prove otherwise. πŸ™‚

The truth is: you’re intuitive. It’s the superpower that you possess and probably aren’t using to its full potential.

It’s a useful skill in almost every situation imaginable.

But that also doesn’t mean you’ll be able to come up with the wining lotto numbers. Intuition is not make-believe.

It’s simply about using our whole bodies as a way to perceive information instead of just our logical little brains.

It’s a natural skill that we’ve just forgotten how to use. And it’s time you get to work on developing yours.

And I know you’re next question: so if it’s a natural thing, why aren’t more people doing it?

Western society has had intuition in its crosshairs for ages, since it doesn’t conform to our overly rational approach to life.

We’re simply not encouraged to think intuitively. In fact, we’re encouraged not to! The school system and society at large just do not delve into how to feel feelings, much less to intuit anything.

In order to fix that, we simply have to unlearn how to be the type person that society has conditioned us to be and get in touch with our real selves.

Intuition is about feeling not thinking. It’s about learning to sink into our feelings and pull meaning out of them.

After all, feelings are not our enemy! It’s normal and natural to have both highs and lows; it’s part of our human experience. So when we dull out any extreme points we’re also masking an aspect of our true self.

So even though intuition can give us information about the world around us, in the end, the most important thing it can offer us is a better understanding of ourselves. And that’s why I’m sharing this with you here today.

It’s your birthright.


How To Develop Your Intuition: 3 Essential Elements


Step 1: Open The Channels

We miss a lot of internal signals just because we’re not paying any attention. Our bodies have the ability to communicate all manner of information to us. But we need to pick up the phone in order to hear the message.

Intuition can work in any type of sensory capacity. You might hear an audible message (or have a random thought pop into your head). You might pick up on physical sensations or maybe you’ll hear a message through a song. While we all have the capacity to work every channel, over time you’ll probably find that one channel is more strong for you.

To practice, begin to work on your mindfulness. Check in with yourself throughout your day. How is your body feeling? Your gut? Your heart? Your hands and feet? Conduct a scan and try to notice the difference sensations felt in different situations. How does rushing to work feel compared to chilling on the sofa with your partner? Then aim to make this check in a regular habit.


Step 2: Set Your Intention

Ask and you shall receive. Making an intention about receiving guidance is a crucial step. It’s the difference between feeling around and picking up on something random (and probably unrelated) and with cutting right to the very signal that you need.

Put your intention out there first by posing a very specific question to the Universe. (Don’t worry though. You can totally get this done in your own head!) Just pause for a few moments to tune in with yourself and then “speak” your question clearly. Intention setting doesn’t need to be any fancier than this.


Step 3: Create Space

When we fill up our senses with incoming information (via social media, TV etc.) we are consuming. You already know you can’t listen while you’re speaking and the same principle applies here. In order to receive messages, we have to leave the door open for them to appear. Have you ever had a brilliant thought during your morning walk or while you’re doing a mindless task, like washing the dishes? That is the power of the blank space at play.

You’re now in touch with your senses and you’ve posed your question. The only thing left to do is to create room for the answer to come back to you. So let yourself have “blank space”: walking, running or driving without listening to a podcast or music is often quite illuminating. Just keep yourself open and observant of both how you feel and how you feel in relation to the world around you.




Let me know how your intuition practice goes! What surprising things can you learn about you?

As always, I hope this exercise serves you well. Please don’t forget to share it if you found it useful!

Right now, your SOUL is calling for your magic.S Right now, your SOUL is calling for your magic.So are you ready to answer the call?I know life doesn't seem so magical at times.And I also know that when you're down or feeling defeated it's REALLY EASY to forget one simple thing.The magic is IN you.And it always has been!Every time we tell ourselves that we're not strong enoughOr good enough or smart enoughOr that we need someone or something ELSE to swoop in and "fix" usWe're opting out of using OUR power.But none of that stuff means that you AREN'T magic.It simply means that you've FORGOTTEN and fallen out of touch.But every day brings us a new opportunity to connect with our TRUTH.So what are YOU going to do with your magic today?How can YOU decide to change your life for the better, even if only by the tiniest degree?If you feel like sharing, drop me a comment below!And if you need a little help unlocking your magic, then reach out! I'm looking for a few special souls who are ready to undo their old ways of being so they can BLOSSOM into their dream life. Is that you? Send me a DM to learn more!
The present creates the past.Or, in other words, The present creates the past.Or, in other words, your STORY about the who, the what, the why IS the only thing that matters.Mindset work won't change the facts of course.It's not going to go back in time to change things or make other people suddenly see the light.(Damnit!)But it can change the person you BECAME because of what happened.Sometimes we close ourselves off to our own miracles because we're clinging so hard to those old stories.When we think that because the past is set in stone, our stories have to stay the same too.I get it though! I used to be SHOCKINGLY ATTACHED to my sob story, firmly stuck in victim mode.All the time DREAMING about where I wanted to go--and confused as to why I wasn't there yet.Fortunately (after a lot of STRUGGLE) I opened my mind to change, massive shifts and MIRACLES.That's why I can tell you that getting stuck in wishing things were different cuts us off from both our power in the present and our ability to process.So know this my beautiful soul: the only liberation we need is our own.When you get brave enough to finally DO that, your whole world really will change.(& PS if you need a little help creating your own miracle, I have a few coaching spots open! Wanna learn more about how to apply this powerful work to your life? Send me a DM & let's chat!)
And now for a quick message from your Higher Self: And now for a quick message from your Higher Self:Love yourself enough to LET IT GOBreathe deep & have a happy Sunday my beautiful babes!
You are magic itself.And your desires have meani You are magic itself.And your desires have meaning for the WORLD.So if you really KNEW that you were here to feel happy and do the things that bring you joy, what would you be doing differently?If you’re like me, it’s too easy to forget our true divine nature.It’s too easy to believe our worries and limitations more than we trust ourselves and this beautiful journey.But if you could trust your magic for just a moment, what would change?If you knew your dreams where a matter of WHEN not if, how would this moment be different?All the magic you ever needed is IN you already. All you need to do right now is TUNE into it!

Identity shifting is KEY to manifesting.Because Identity shifting is KEY to manifesting.Because you ALWAYS manifest from your subconscious mind.Meaning you WILL play out old programs and ideas over and over again.Until YOU decide enough's enough! And do the work to REPROGRAM your mind to reflect what it you want and who you need to be.But sometimes, this work doesn't FEEL like it's doing anything.Those little tiny shifts on the inside are close to invisible--which might even make you doubt that it's happening at all.But trust me gorgeous, it IS.Keep taking tiny steps forward.Keep doubling down on who you WANT to be.TRUST the process and understandThat little by little, bit by bitIt all adds upUntil one day you look around and realize: I'm already there.
