We have all done it. We have ALL, at one point or another in our lives, ignored our Intuition. Why? Why do we ignore our Self? Why do we not TRUST what we innately are? If we have ever been in a situation and a strong feeling regarding that situation arose, or we had a “gut feeling” about something, or about what we “should” or “should not” do … then we each know EXACTLY what Intuition is.

Intuition is defined as: “the ability to understand something immediately, without the need for conscious reasoning.” If we look at the word origin, we see that it stems from Middle French intuition, which derived from Medieval Latin intuitiō (“a looking at, immediate cognition”), further from Latin intueor (“to look at, consider”), from in- (“in, on”) + tueor (“to look, watch, guard, see, observe”). This speaks so deeply to every human being having been born with this intuitive ability, doesn’t it?

While technically we can define the word, it has been erased from many humans’ conscious thought by the Path chosen with many on Earth.

Think of Intuition as an innate sort of “knowing” or “understanding” of what is true or in truth for a situation we may find ourself in. It is a different Experience for different humans ’s, but when we feel it, we generally know. Why did things change?

Some believe that in this lifetime, it started in childhood with the conditioning we received from our Care Givers. Path. Discipline. Trauma. Others believe that it carries over in Shadow from every lifetime until we deal with it. Until we begin to fully trust ourselves again regardless of what others think, say, or do about it. It is on us to work things out.

 Have you? Having a good, strong, tuned Intuition is the ultimate boost to our Medicine and Magick, our energy. Take a look at the methods listed below. Have you tried any of them? These are a few tips to honing in our Intuition in a simple way. We will explore these first.

1 FOLLOW YOUR GUT
Seeing positive results after following our Intuition can help reinforce that we do know what is best for Self and it will also give us more confidence to trust our gut for the future. Start with something small, like which route to take on a drive, or actually calling that person when they crossed our mind. Some Practitioners everything has purpose. We have thoughts of others “for a purpose”.
 

2 MEDITATE
When energy is chaotic and scattered, it is more difficult to reach our Intuition and hear it above that din, or noise. The reason is that intuition arises during quieter times, like those spent in quiet moments such as meditation.
 

3 REGULAR BODY CHECKS
It does not matter if it is something we are physically pushing through pain or ignoring a blocked chakra, making this a regular practice is greatly beneficial to us and our practices. Take stock. What hurts? Have you run a check on your energy points or chakras lately? Keeping a check on these things keeps the lines clear for Intuition.


4 GO OUTSIDE
The best place we can go is into Mother Nature. Hug a tree. Smell the flowers. Pet a cat. Get OUT of bad headspace. Ground. Being mindful of the innate beauty that is Nature greatly increases our Consciousness Awareness, especially of other Sentient Beings.


5 TECHNOLOGY FASTING
So many distractions come at us from a myriad of screens. We might not even know when our Intuition is speaking to us because we are too busy bouncing from one alert to the next. Consider doing a purposeful technology detox. How might you entertain yourself for four to five hours without technology? Freeing up this digital-free space will allow new messages and insights to float up from your subconscious that you may have previously missed. 


As always, you can Journal, draw, or even ask your Self, your Intuition questions. Simply write down a question and see if immediate answer come to mind. Most times, those thoughts are Intuitively telling you something. Explore that!
