Learning To Trust Your Intuitions

As we navigate life’s challenges, we too often question our inner guidance. Even after decades of psychic work, I sometimes also find myself questioning my own choices and decisions. One of the ways we can move beyond the deceptions of the ego mind is to learn the signs of spirit and how spirit communicates with us.

Everyone has an inner psychic ‘dictionary.’ This inner glossary of personal spiritual symbols repeats signs and patterns to convey a message to you. Although you may not think of yourself as highly intuitive or as a psychic visionary, you may be surprised at how psychic you really are when you allow your higher self to guide you.

Most people who attend my intuitive development classes soon learn that they themselves already own the intuition they are seeking. What I mean by this is that what we try so hard to find in the outside world in order to become more intuitive is actually already present within us.

We are spirit and are merely occupying the physical vehicle that is our body. I am sure you have noticed that sometimes your body knows the truth about situations before it registers in your mind? This is a psychic ability.

Although we may not always be consciously aware that we intuitively feel a certain way about a person or situation, our body is always signaling us to pay attention to what we are feeling at that moment. Our physical body is always attuned to the metaphysical or spiritual.

Don’t try to comprehend with your mind. Your minds are very limited. Use your intuition ~ Madeleine L’Engle

Some ways to get more in tune with our body’s spiritual prompts are to do daily yoga or tai chi, listen to guided meditations, do breathing exercises, or get grounded by spending time outdoors absorbing the beauty of nature. Fortunately, in today’s modern world, you do not have to go to a class or leave your home to do most of these things. For example, there are many apps you can download and video content you can stream.

It is also important to cultivate a greater awareness of your personal spiritual signs and psychic symbols. For example, I regularly see certain repeating numbers on my phone, license plates, street signs, bumper stickers, addresses, and so on. I also tend to wake up at the same time every night with the clock showing the exact same time, 4:44 a.m. I also see the same time on the clock during the day, 4:44 in the afternoon. It is a number that is particularly meaningful to me. I have come to understand it as a confirmation that I am supported and protected by spirit.

There are many other ways in which people receive messages from spirit. Finding feathers in odd places, for example, can indicate that you have a spirit animal totem or guardian angel guiding you.

Another example is standing in line at the grocery store and the people in front of you are talking about someone named “Gabriella,” which reminds you that your friend Gabby has been on your mind a lot lately and that you need to call her. When you call her, you discover that she is in the hospital after an accident and that your call brightened her day!

Our bodies have five senses: touch, smell, taste, sight, hearing. But not to be overlooked are the senses of our souls: intuition, peace, foresight, trust, empathy ~  C. JoyBell C

The subconscious dream state is one of the most common ways spirit communicates with us because our conscious waking mind is out of action. For this reason, one of the best ways to become more aware of your inner spiritual guidance is to keep a dream journal. There are also dreamwork exercises you can do to improve your dream awareness and recall.

The next time you get a psychic ‘hit’ about something, just trust it. The more often you do this, the more your confidence will grow and your intuitive awareness will increase. Once you learn to trust your intuitions, more messages and guidance will enter your consciousness. It’s like learning a new language, you have to practice every day.
