4 Ways to Ignite Your Intuition
by Bill Philipps
People often ask me if they can learn to be more intuitive. The answer is yes, if they are willing to work at it. I firmly believe that my ability as a psychic medium is a God-given gift and that not everybody can become psychic simply by trying. Trust me, I know many people who have tried without success. However, I do believe all people have intuition that can be utilized if they remain open to signs from the Other Side.
I see this intuition as a spiritual guidance system that you were born with. I call it our spiritual GPS, which guides us down the right path. Whether we go the long way or not is our choice. We all have it, but we often ignore it as we age because we become too concerned about our earthly selves and duties rather than the spiritual side of our lives. How many times, when we’re trying to make a big decision, does someone remind us to listen to our gut? It happens a lot, and it’s something we should do more often, but we forget to do it because we have let our souls succumb to our humanness and fear.
The first step in tapping into that intuition is to set your intention by silently asking the Spirits for help when you need it. If you are going through a difficult time and looking for answers or guidance in a particular situation, you first have to ask for help and for signs. That’s the easy part.
The second step, which is more difficult but equally important, is to open your heart and mind to receiving those signs. This is not easy as people tend to be afraid of the Spirit world, or they are too wound up in the details of life, getting from Point A to Point B. However, with the will to overcome this, we can become more open to signs.
Let’s say you are thinking about leaving your job and going to another company, but you don’t know if you should. Visualize yourself in the job, while putting your intentions out to the universe, to God, whatever you choose to call it, and then keep your eyes and ears open for the answers. What does that mean? Well, the chances that a random person is going to walk up to you after you have put your intentions out there and say “You need to take that job” is not very likely.
When giving readings, I often talk about how the Spirits work and how they have to play charades, so you know it’s not going to be that simple. If you go out to dinner in the midst of trying to make this decision and your extremely happy waitress tells you it’s her first day on the job, that could be a sign to you that you need to accept your new job. On the other hand, if everything about the job interview has seemed like an uphill battle or a struggle, such as your resume not uploading to the company website or you can’t get in contact with your references, it might be a sign that this is not the right job for you.
So, how can you better connect with your intuitive side?
Here are four steps to ignite your intuition you can try:
1. Meditate
Meditation is the best way to connect with your intuition. There are different ways to meditate, such as through silence, with soothing music, or with sounds from nature. Meditation will help you to separate yourself from your earthly worries and to connect more closely with your soul.
2. Awareness
Be more aware of your thoughts in your everyday life, so that you can more easily separate them from your intuition. Thinking is a reflex for most people, so much so that it can be difficult to distinguish between what is your intuition and what is your ego or earthly thoughts. The more we think and ignore what our gut is telling us, the more confused we can become about what to do in a particular situation. Yes, we need to think things through, but don’t let that overshadow your intuition.
3. Pray
Visualize a white light and allow yourself to fully experience whatever feeling you are having at that moment; this will tune you into your own intuition. Ask God or Spirit for the insight you are seeking. Doing that focuses your energy on what you want to achieve. We’ve all heard the phrase, “Ask and you shall receive.” I believe that’s absolutely true. Asking is setting that intention. Receiving is listening to your intuition, which is coming from that higher place.
4. Trust
Pay close attention to how your intuition works for you and trust it. Understand that it works differently for everyone. Some people might feel chills. Other individuals may have more of a gut feeling, and yet others could have a daydream that comes true. What works for one may not work for another. Understand and trust how your intuition works for you and what the strongest way is for you to receive information from Spirit.
Don’t doubt that you have a guidance system within you. We were born with intuition, whether you know it or not. It is up to you to find it. Having that intuition and knowing when to listen to it helps you navigate life’s road blocks with ease. Turning on that internal GPS will help to avoid some of the anguish and struggles we face in our daily lives.
