Trusting your intuition

Our intuition, in my opinion, is one of greatest tools. It is the way we connect to our own inner wisdom, and hopefully, allow it to guide us towards what is most aligned in any given moment. This world is so full of noise and distractions, especially in this age of social media and self comparison. Learning to trust this inner voice can be SO transformative, and in my experience, life altering, in all the most magical ways.

So, what is intuition anyways? Intuition is often described as a “gut feeling” or an inner knowing that transcends all logical reasoning. It’s that sense of understanding without need for conscious thought. I believe that our intuition is the truest version of us ( some people might say highest self) guiding us with little nudges and illuminations. I truly believe we always have the answer we need to proceed ahead, deep down within us at that soul level. So strengthening our intuition allows to really access that, and hopefully utilize it as much as possible.

I don’t want to be dramatic but… ALL of my very best experiences, friendships, business decisions, have all come from trusting my intuition. And in trusting it, flexing and improving on that “muscle”, strengthening the connection - I have improved my self confidence - because I know I can TRUST MYSELF. Because at the end of the day, it’s me. Being so in tune at this point in my life fuels my sense of purpose and peace, because it feels like I’m clued in on what some people may not have as much clarity on - and that is sooooo valuable to me.

Some steps you can take to cultivate and trust your intuition

Quieting the mind - I know, I know - meditation. You’ve heard it a million times but it has to be mentioned. Meditation is THE way. Meditation is a powerful tool to quiet your mind and create space for those thoughts, messages, and intuitive insights to actually come through. If you’re constantly thinking the same thoughts on a loop, how can you expect any new information to come through? The same way we clear space energetically with manifesting, or with cleansing our physical space when we bring something new in - you ahve to create a path. Get quiet, and see what comes through.

Listen to your body - Our bodies often signal intuitive messages through sensations. Paying attention to how we feel physically when we make decisions, have certain conversations, or even receive new information can tell us so much. Do you feel a sense of ease or discomfort? Your bodies reaction can provide so many valuable tools. If you’re familiar with Human Design at all - some of us even have certain energy centers that can point us to WHERE in our body our intuitive hits likely come from. Let me know if I can help you explore your human design, or let us know if the comments what you have for your “Authority”- I have an emotional authority - so my intuition tends to lead me through how I literally FEEL about a situation - if I feel excited, and inspired, great. If I feel dread or bogged down, it’s likely not the most aligned path to take for me.

Journaling our thoughts and feelings - Journaling is an amazing way to connect to your inner voice. Writing down our thoughts and feelings, and any intuitive nudges we receive - even seeing angel numbers, or keeping a dream journal - Over time you will be able to notice any patterns that may emerge, and this typically (ALWAYS) leads to revealing even deeper insights.

TRUSTING YOUR FIRST INSTINCT - Guys not doing this has bitten me in the ass so many times. 🙃 But the reality is, our first instinct, our first read on a situation - is usually right. It just is. And this is because it is -usually- our most intuitive impression. Practice trusting your initial reactions and observations. Over time, this will not only probably lead you to more aligned experiences, but it will also help you build that trust within yourself and your intuitive abilities.

Using crystals and metaphysical tools - Some of my favorite crystals to help amplify and support building your intuition, especially for beginners, are crystals like Amethyst and Clear Quartz. Both of these stones are great for amplifying your intuition. You can incorporate them into your daily routine or use them when you meditate to enhance your connection with your inner wisdom.

Common intuitive blocks and how to overcome them

Many of us have been conditioned to prioritize logic over intuition. This can create so many blocks, and most of us don’t even realize - this can lead to fear or self-doubt - common obstacles for all of us. I know for me fear was a huge block for letting myself “go there” with my intuition. I could feel my power… but would it mean if I actually embraced it. Spoiler alert, here we are lol. Acknowledging this feeling without judging yourself and gently redirecting your focus to your inner guidance, that’s the way. It takes time. It’s a muscle that needs to be strengthened. But EVERYONE can access this part of themselves. It is all just a skill that grows with practice. And I’m here to help, should you desire it. 🧡

Trusting your intuition is aj ourney of self-discovery and empowerment. By utitlizing all of these energies and action steps we talked about here, you can truly cultivate a strong connection with your inner wisdom. Start small, be patient with yourself, and watch as your intuition guides you towards a more aligned and fulfilling life.
