Intuitive skills are inside all of us. Intuition is always there for \nus, to guide, protect, and help us develop. As we grow into adulthood, \nwe may push this intuition to the side to conform to what society says \nwe should do. The more we do this, the less we tend to listen to that \nlittle voice or those gut feelings.

And like anything else in life, when you stop using it, you can lose \nit. A muscle must move, an eye must see, a brain must think; the same \nholds true for the intuitive process.

Here are five ways you can develop intuition.

Make it a Game

Think of simple items, colors, or situations. Create the vision in

your mind and watch as your intuition guides you through certain

scenarios. For your first try, notice how long it takes for your

intuition to speak to you. Keep notes in a journal. Notice if the

answers to certain items or situations come faster than others. If so,

what do they have in common?

Play with these optional outcomes and try to gain an object, this

time faster than the previous effort. For example, you may think of the

color pink.

Live in the Now

It becomes difficult for your intuition to speak to you if your mind is in the past or the future.

Consider this quote from Lao Tzu: “If you are depressed, you are

living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If

you are at peace, you are living in the present.”

The gift intuition works best when the mind is in the present. Pain

caused in the past can take over the mind. The future can seem

frightening. What is on the other side of today or even an hour from

now? At this point even when the intuitive process could send you

signals loud and clear, your fear will allow the subconscious mind to

override those signals.

When depression or anxiety creeps into your thoughts, repeat the above

quote. The “now” is the place where intuition resides. Your higher self

has no concept of our earthly time.

Talk to Your Higher Self

Intuition is yourself, your higher self, that is. Creator, the

Universe, or your soul are all patiently waiting your instruction, more

than happy to guide you. So why don’t humans just have gold rolling out

of every home, happy relationships, and eternal good health? Humans have

forgotten how to communicate such things to the universe.

Ask yourself, “Am I sending the message of what I want or am I

vibrating what I’m worried about?” The universe may end up giving you

the signals that send you to all the wrong places.
