How Intuitive Are You???

We are all born with intuition (or inner knowing). It is quite natural. Some people call it “instinct or insight” while others prefer to say describe themselves as being “extra sensitive”. As a spiritual being, we have what I like to refer to as our “inner senses”. In other words, it is when people just feel when something is right or wrong.

This is not just limited to feeling… some people may see images, while other people will trust that little voice they hear inside their mind. This natural core ability is not purely limited to those transcended masters, or to people who have devoted a lifetime of studying and practicing meditation. It is not about card reading, crystal balls, or predicting the future – it is one of the most natural resources that you can tap into at almost any time!

To be intuitive or psychic is not just something we possess. It is not like a piece of software you can just download – it is more akin to a way of being.

The word psychic is from the Greek word psychos, meaning “of the soul.” By definition, it means that as spiritual beings, we are able to access, receive, and transmit information that reaches beyond our physical body and our natural five senses.

We are using these special abilities all of the time, but for the most part, many of us do not even realize that we are actually tapping into this amazing resource.

Let me show you what I mean. Take a few deep breaths, relax and just ask yourself these basic questions:

~Have you ever just thought of someone, only to run into them later that day?

~Can you feel the mood of someone even before you meet them?

~Have you ever had a hunch that you did not follow and regretted it later because it was correct?

~Have you ever known the outcome of a situation or an event before it happens?

~Can you walk into a room and instantly tell what the atmosphere is like?

~Do coincidences and synchronicities keep appearing in your life?

If you have answered YES to some of these questions, then it is important to realize that these are just a few examples of what being intuitive or psychic is all about. It is a sense of an inner-awareness. Being psychic or intuitive is quite natural, and can be a wonderful resource of information to help you in all areas of your life, from work and relationships; to feeling your loved ones’ presence (whether they are alive or passed). You can even use it to connect to nature, or for helping you enhance your creative abilities. There is no limit to how much this natural ability can assist you here and now!

You can benefit from all of these and more by using and strengthening your intuitive ability. The one aspect most people have an issue with, is TRUST. Have faith in yourself in that you are entitled to live fully, so that you can see yourself and the world in a way you never thought possible. Let yourself experiment and play like a child when it comes to your abilities. As children, we were born with a wonderful capacity to play. You had these abilities once, and unbelievably, they never left. I just encourage you to think back, to remember.

A good thing to do is simply try to use your intuitive nature everyday. By using it you will make it stronger, and soon you will understand how your individual ability(ies) works or functions.

Some suggestions you can try as part of your development are:

~Ask yourself: “How many emails will I receive today?” or, “What will my boss be wearing today?”

~When the phone rings, see if you can guess who is on the other end before you pick it up.

~When receiving utility bills, try to guess the amount before you open the envelope.

~If you work in an office building, try to guess which elevator door will open first.

~If you feel compelled to drive a different way home just for a change – then go for it!

~If there is someone you are drawn to, who you have never met – then be brave and say hello!

Practice these and make up some of your own. Give it a try – you might just surprise yourself!

You may want to start writing down your intuitive experiences in a journal. Once again, you have to use your abilities to awaken them, and let them help to guide you in your life. After all, we have everything we need to find the answers right inside our intuitive psychic selves.
