5 Ways to Increase Your Intuition by Maya

5 Ways to Increase Your Intuition by Maya Our intuition allows us access to the unseen realms and allows us to gain greater perspective, insight, and guidance from the universe in all areas of our lives. Everyone has intuition, but we can choose to enhance our abilities with regular spiritual practice. Intuition allows us to receive immediate and instinctive knowledge or understanding. This can help you to make better decisions and respond more effectively to challenges. Being receptive to your intuitive impressions can also cultivate an open and curious mindset that allows new ideas and inspiration to flow. Additionally, aligning with your intuitive side can awaken other spiritual gifts! Creativity is increased, and other spiritual gifts such as healing, empathy, divination, and channelling can emerge when we follow the promptings of our intuition. Learning to trust your intuition can help you to avoid dangerous situations. Most of us have experienced getting a “bad vibe” about someone, but have ignored our “gut instinct” only to find out, our “gut instinct” was right! That’s your intuition talking! Our intuition guides us to the right path if we allow it. So if you can learn to connect more deeply with your intuition and trust it, life tends to run a little more smoothly! Sometimes your intuition communicates in ideas or impressions; but other times, it can be very specific and may provide you with a lot of information at one time. This experience is called a “download”. Downloads can come from deities, light-beings, and your higher-self. These types of intense intuitive events need to be written down so that you can fully assimilate the information. Let’s look at 5 ways you can increase your natural intuitive ability… 1. Regular Meditation. There are countless reasons to establish a regular meditation practice. It reduces stress, helps to master the mind, and can accelerate our spiritual development. But learning to still the mind and find peace in silence can also enable us to hear the whispers of our intuition. Your intuition will become “louder” and easier to pick up on over time, but in the early stages of developing your intuition, meditation can help you to differentiate the messages of your intuition from the meanderings of your mind! 2. Keep a Journal. One of the most powerful ways you can enhance your intuition is by getting into the habit of writing things down. Keeping a journal by the bed to write down your dreams or record any impressions you received overnight is a powerful exercise for developing your intuition. By writing things down, you’re sending a message to your unconscious mind that you’re listening! Keep your journal handy during your healing, meditation, and yoga sessions too. 3. Study Symbolism. Symbols are the language of our intuition! That language has to be learnt individually though. To illustrate this point, a person who has a tarantula as a pet might dream about a tarantula, but have a very different response and relationship to the symbol of a tarantula than someone who is afraid of spiders. The same symbol can have very different meanings for different people. Reading ancient myths, studying systems like the Chakras, Runes, Tarot, or Kabbalah can all be good ways to enhance your symbolism vocabulary. Some energy healing modalities lend themselves to this process too! Planets Attunements, Lightworker Animal Empowerments, Ethereal Crystals Healing, Celtic Deities, Celtic Reiki, Run Valdr (Runic Reiki) & Archangelic Links are just a few. 4. Energy Healing. Energy healing is a varied practice. There are systems that focus on physical, mental and emotional healing; others that focus on spiritual development; and some that focus on specific goals such as increasing intuition (for example: Ocean of Intuition 3rd Eye Activation & Starseed Psychic Activations). Regularly working with an energy healing technique like Kundalini Reiki, Usui Reiki, or Violet Flame will lead to enhanced intuition over time. And increasing your intuition will improve your energy healing practice too! Prioritising your energy healing practice can hasten the manifestation of the gift of intuition. 5. Crystals. Crystals have unique energetic properties, and some are particularly useful for developing intuition. In particular Amethyst can amplify intuitive messages and strengthen your sensitivity to those messages so that higher-self communication becomes clearer. Placing a piece of Amethyst on your 3rd Eye (the centre of your forehead, just above the eyebrows), can help you open the 3rd Eye. The same crystal can be placed under your pillow to bring meaningful dreams, or placed before you during your meditation work as a focus object. I hope this article has given you some ideas and inspiration for exploring your intuition!
