Magnifying Intuition

Intuition is that inner message or gut feeling you get in the pit of your stomach that tells you some person, place, or thing is or isn't right for you. Intuition is essential for guarding your mind, body, and spirit against stress and harm. 

 

Maybe you've driven across town and felt you should take another route to your friend's house even though you didn't know why, only to find out later there was a flood covering the road. The Bible refers to intuition as the Gift of Discernment, known as empathy. Have you ever felt like not doing something but did it anyway, based on a hunch that you just should, and ended up being in the right place at the right time? Now, that's divine intuition!

 

When stressed, it can be challenging to understand what's happening in our lives or know which direction to turn because stress stifles intuition. When intuition goes silent or can't be heard over the roar of stress, the result is lower vibration, confusion, doubt, poor decision-making, immobility, nervous ills, and chronic conditions caused by inflammation chronic stress causes.

 

Knowledge fine-tunes intuition. For example, let's say you're considering going on a camping trip with friends but have a gut feeling that you shouldn't take a certain route or go at all. When you feel this way, it can be helpful to recognize it as a spiritual request for more information. You first question should be, "Why might I feel this way?" or "What do I need to know?" Performing an internal assessment will help you make a decision based on your gut feeling. Your second question should be, "What can I do to make a more informed decision?" You might grab a road map, check the weather forecast, peek at the traffic channel, or ask your friends to check their vehicle fluids. The more you know and understand, the better your ability to choose wisely based on intuition and reason. 

 

The thing about intuition is that if you continue to ignore it, symptoms develop to grab your attention. Why? Because you're a spiritual being experiencing a physical presence. Your spirit creates mental and physical symptoms, such anxiety, IBS, chronic pain, or sleep problems to get your attention, to get you to LISTEN, which is why intuition has EVERYTHING to do with your health and wellness. 

 

Without using your intuition, you become like a feather in the wind, but using it provides direction and an anchor when you most need one. Your intuition can help you develop a wellness regime by helping you to choose natural remedies and activities suit you as an individual to prevent, manage, and even erase symptoms and conditions. ​All you need for your intuition to kick in is knowledgeable information, an open mind, and the willingness to act.

How to Magnify Your Intuition

  • Get quiet with yourself. When meditating, focus on your senses while breathing in a relaxed manner. What do you hear (birds, dogs, bees, water, cars, people), smell, or feel (cool air, warm sun, the soft lining of your jacket)? When praying, think of those things you are thankful for or anyone who needs forgiveness. Meditate or pray daily and write down any thoughts or feelings that come to you.

 

  • Get away from your routine. Remove yourself from the situation for a while. Take a walk around the block, a day trip to the beach, or a short stay away from home.

 

  • Be honest with yourself. Never ignore your feelings if something seems off, even if you don't understand why. You will stop trusting yourself if you do this too often and for too long. It's easy to want to ignore feelings that are asking us to say no to others or are demanding we change, but being honest, especially with ourselves, is the best policy.

 

  • Listen to your body. The body has its own language. For example, when tired or overwhelmed, your body doesn't stand as straight and tall. Being around toxic people can leave you feeling drained of energy and stooping to their negativity. Backaches can be a sign that you're carrying too much responsibility and need support. A stomachache can symbolize control issues, either yours or those of someone else around you.

 

  • Pay attention to your dreams. Dreams are your mind's processing of your conscious and subconscious thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. Keep a dream diary. Write down what people say to you in your dreams. If there are strong feelings, what are they? Look for insights, suggestions, and patterns that emerge.

 

  • Flip a coin. Why not? Give yourself an ultimatum. Say, heads, you are going to start exercising. Tails, you're going to remain a couch potato. Flip a coin. See how you feel about which side of the coin lands first. You have the right to change your mind at any time.

 

  • Give kinesiology (muscle testing) a try. It's a simple exercise using your fingertips that will tell you whether someone or something is right for you. It is an excellent way to allow your body's energy system and intuition to speak to you directly. You can use kinesiology to determine which foods, herbs, oils, salts, and substances are right for you. Watch this 2-3 minute video that explains kinesiology very well.

 

  • Whether you're trying to eliminate dysfunctional thoughts, attitudes, or actions or ease an old-fashioned headache, consulting an oracle can provide you with clarity, snap you out of the doldrums, and put you on track to a higher vibration, which attracts better health, love, and abundance.
