How Harness Your Internal Super Power

Intuition does everyone have it? What is it exactly?

Webster defines it as the power or faculty to attain direct knowledge of cognition without evident rational thought and interference. 

Intuition is an important but unrecognized part of our lives. Most of us constantly receive its messages but choose to ignore them. Our rational mind gives us all of the very "sound" reasons why we should ignore the intuitive impulse. When we ignore our intuitive mind it speaks to us less often.

Intuition is never forceful or loud - except in times of extreme danger. We must listen carefully to hear it. It is that part of us that always knows the correct answer. Intuition is information from our highest level of consciousness. 

Intuition is an incredible resource and gift that we have been given to help us live our best life. Unfortunately, not many people know what it is or how to use it.

It has been said that intuition is your divine Spirit talking to you. If you will stop for a moment and acknowledge this, you will begin to realize the incredible perspective you have at your fingertips. You have this very amazing power! And you don’t even have to get any special training to start using it. 

If you have quieted your intuition don't be discouraged! All you need to do is raise your awareness about it and set your intention to harness it.

The best ways to get in touch with your intuition are:

1. Be quiet

• Practice taking time out every day to experience silence. Calm your mind with traditional or active meditation. Release your need to think, analyze, and know everything. The best information comes from the deep recesses of your soul.

2. Be open

• Open to the gift of intuition and accept what is has to tell you. Many times, our ego thinks it has it “all figured out,” but your true path may look very different than the one you are on. Being open to new possibilities and ways of living is key.

3. Be creative

• There are many ways to be creative, painting, writing, dancing, designing a website, etc. Do something that helps you get into the “flow,” that place where time seems to fly by and the work is leading you. Creativity is an expression of your soul and goes hand-in-hand with intuitive guidance.

4. Ask questions 

• When you ask yourself questions, you gain additional insight and clarity. When you ask a question like “What is the next step I need to take?” know that you already know what you need to know. Trust yourself. You already have everything you need inside.

5. Journal 

• When you write, you tap into thoughts, feelings, ideas and direction that you are not consciously aware of. Writing allows the truth to come forth and is an easy way to gain insight from your inner self. 

If you have an important decision to make and are not 100% sure about something happening, stop and think before making a decision. Usually this is your intuition trying to tell you that something is not quite right.

Likewise, if you feel that you should go for it, do it, so you don ’t miss a valuable opportunity. Intuition is your very own best friend. It is always there for you. It waits patiently for you. It gives the absolute best advice, and all you have to do is ask! Like any good friendship, all it takes to nurture it is a little time and attention. If you decide to be close and intimate with your intuition, I promise that your life will transform into something wonderful.
