Intuition is the ability to understand something immediately, which one knows or considers likely from instinctive feeling rather than conscious reasoning. ¹ Unlike our other five senses, which allow us to take in observable data from our surroundings, intuition comes from within. ² Intuition can be a feeling that something is bothering someone. A mother has a sense that her child is sick. A feeling of danger if you’re in a situation. Intuition is more than just an understanding or a gut feeling. It is embedded deep down in our brains from our past experiences; it guides us daily. That is the power of intuition.

What can the Power of Intuition do for you?

When you follow your intuition, you are not overthinking every problem. Instead, you trust your instinct. It makes life a lot easier. Your intuition is you, so it wants what’s best for you. It lets you open your heart and mind to feel good, safe, and happy. Because your intuition wants what is best for you, it can help you make better decisions. Becoming intone with your intuition means you get to know yourself better. Why do you think, feel, and act the way you do? What experiences you’ve had shaped you into who you are today? What kind of habits do you have? Are they good or bad? What motivates you, and what would make your life happy?

How do you know you are in tune with your intuition?

You can hear that inner voice if you are in tune with your intuition. This voice is not the one that criticizes or talks negatively towards you – it is your negative mindset. You will be able to tell the difference between your ego and your intuition, and you will trust yourself and your gut. 

How can you get more in-tuned with your intuition?

You can get in tune with your intuition and use its power. The first way is learning to trust yourself: I started by meditating and connecting with myself and my feelings/emotions. Spending time alone is another way to start connecting with your intuition and being alone ³ and hearing your thoughts and your body. Getting into the present moment of being alone can be very beneficial. I recommend going out in nature and even journaling. The last way to help is to test yourself, and you can use tarot cards for reference to guess what card you are holding.

How has my intuition grown powerful over the years?

I have been on my spiritual journey for almost three years, and my intuition has grown. I went from being unable to trust myself to realize that I am my biggest fan and best friend to being unable to connect with my emotions to sitting and identifying them and what is causing them. 

I’m not saying I’m an expert now; I must practice exercising my intuition, or I’ll lose it.
