Developing Your Intuition

Today’s topic is all about developing your intuition. This blog post was inspired by my lessons these past few weeks coming into full circle. I was remembering who I was and felt it was important to remind ya’ll the importance of this. Hence this post.

 Most people discredit this part of our being for ridiculous reasons. When I was younger, people used to tell me that it was irrational and complete nonsense. But it’s not. It’s something to grow. Scientific studies have been done on intuition and it’s part of our system one. This system is our subconscious way of thinking. It is instinctual and has been around since prehistoric times. Our second system focuses the conscious way of thinking (linked here)
In other words, it’s a big deal and a very big part of manifestation. It’s a skill that I’ve gotten very good at, especially these past few years. It’s never done me wrong. I’ve gone walking around, with no destination in mind, and allowed my intuition to give me directions.  It’s always led me to a place of self-discovery and peace. It feels super weird at first but eventually you get used to it. It’s what I use when I get lost on the road because, well, that happens.

I take a deep breath and listen. That’s it.

Now, I don’t want this to look like I have a superpower that no one else has. Therefore I’ve listed some ways that you can develop your own intuition. Some of these of obvious while others are not. Regardless I hope ya’ll get something out of them.

Developing Healthy/Mindful Habits

This is sort of what this blog is about, but it’s really that important. When you treat yourself better you have a better mindset. And when you have a better mindset, then your outlook on life gets better.

I’m not saying you need to get up at 5 AM but start with eating better and exercising. Or sleeping at an earlier time. Or, even better, making a career switch to doing something that you actually love that fits your schedule. Now, that really changes your reality.

Meditate

You don’t need much time to do it. I usually give myself about 10-15 minutes. And yes it means I sit down every morning and take the deep breathes that everyone deems as “weird.”
Well I’m here to tell you it’s not. It’s how people listen and hear what their intuition is telling them to do. I do this when I’m faced with tough decisions or going through a tough time.
Personally, meditation has helped me on so many levels. I know what my intuitive impulses are and what they feel like. Basically I’m much more connected to the spiritual world and life purpose because of it. It’s how I figured out that I was truly on the right path. One way to think about meditation is similar to a portal or doorway into your higher self. Frequency Music

Some of ya’ll are like “what is this?”

Before you get freaked out, let me explain.

Frequency music helps you open up or heal a specific chakra for manifestation. For example most people have a hard time opening their heart chakra because their solar plexus (stomach) chakra is closed. Most of the time this is because they have family issues and personal problems that they need to work through. It’s also a physiological connection to their stress levels. The stresses of life can take over a person until they feel overloaded.


Another common reason for frequency music is to rewire their subconscious. The music has positive affirmations that help manifestations physicalize in the non-action. That way, when the person moves back into the frequency they will perform better. That is, you must believe that you can improve.



Here are a list of frequency videos that I use when I’m manifesting. They are quite helpful and are useful when manifesting. I am planning to discuss this topic later this month so stay tuned. But for not here are just a few:

Attract Abundance, Prosperity, Money, Luck and Wealth 

Activate Your Higher Mind for Success

Pay Attention to Your Dreams


Keep a dream journal. It sounds very middle school-ish but it’s worth it. I won’t judge you for it.  I haven’t kept up with my dream journal but it’s something I do use from time to time. It’s a way that our intuition talks to us and tells us what’s coming. Our dreams also give us symbols and meanings. Why? Because the universe loves to give us symbols and meanings.


I’m pretty sure I’ve said this before but it’s...exhausting at times.

This is one thing this life will never seem to understand.


Get Creative

Be creative. As a performer I am telling you to be creative. And if you are doing a creative career. Do something else that’s creative. But please, please don’t be hard on yourself. That will not help you. For me that’s painting but for others it may be different.

Shower

Water is a powerful element. It gives us visions and downloads of what is coming. It’s how we know something is good or bad for us.

I’ll give you a real life example. This is how I knew that my spirit guides were/have always been with me. I asked for a sign and I got a flash of light. Looking back I realized that it was a download. My soul knew that this was supposed to happen. And I knew that everything I’m manifesting is coming. That I may not feel it but it’s there.

I’ve been meaning to write a whole blog post on this so stay tuned because, yes, water is powerful.

Basically: use the shower wisely. It’ll give you messages.



Observe the Way You Feel and Your Body’s Reactions

Observe the way your body reaction to certain situations. It is a good one or a bad one? If it's bad, then it ain't right the choice. If it's good, then you feel pretty amazing. This is especially important when you are coming out of a certain way of doing things to manifest something bigger. There can be  a whirlwind of old trauma and memories that are part of the healing process.Think of this as emotions passing. Know that those emotions aren’t you until you identify with them. When you identify with them, then they become your emotions. You’ve associated yourself with them.

Ask A Question and Listen for The Answer

This is the simplest thing to do. Take deep breaths, and ask yourself the question out loud, and listen. You may get a tingling feeling but that’s okay. Take as positive sign from the universe.


First off, it’s okay if you’re overwhelmed. I was too when learning about this stuff. It’s strange and something Western culture doesn’t teach. It was also a lot of information I just threw at you. I recommend that you look back at this post and reference it.

"Practice Listening to your inuition, your inner voice; ask questions; be curious; see what you see; hear what you hear; and then act upon what you know to be true. These inuitive powers were given to your soul at birth"

- Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype

Make it your intention to grow your intuition. Remember that it’s about consistency, not perfection. You are unlearning a concept that’s been taught for years, so it’s not a time to be hard on yourself. Consistency will bring you better results. As I’ve said before, it’s our superpower and nothing to be ashamed of. But I’d like to give you some pieces of advice while doing this:

• Tell yourself affirmations around this topic and surround yourself with intuitive and conscious people. We’re not all spiritual people are super hippie. Some of us do go about our lives being weird.
  
• You’re not crazy. It’s not irrational. And that’s honest coming from me. Period.
  
• Don’t confuse it with impulsivity and fear. Those emotions are based actions are reactions. Instead separate your emotions from the situation. The situation remains neutral.
  
• Start small (what you’re going to wear, what song you’ll listen to). We don’t need to go big. Build it overtime and you will find that it is one of the most beautiful things we have.
  
• Be out in nature. I’m not telling you to become a nature freak but it’s a way that we hear our spirit guides. grounding  yourself and being in nature is one of the most healing things you can do for your soul and mind. I usually will go to a park if i’m in a city or drive to a nearby reserve if I’m feeling adventurous.
  

With all of this being said, I hope ya’ll have a great night/day. You are worthy enough to live the life you want.


Namaste.
