Working to develop my intuition has been one of the biggest catalysts for the positive changes I have made in my life. While I am still far from achieving my maximum potential, I have made incredible strides and I really would suggest it as a way to improve your life and to be honest, have some fun. The journey is fascinating and you start to realize larger things are at work than just our “reality”. This can help build your faith and open yourself up to the creative, loving  energy that you can connect with for guidance. You will learn to trust yourself more and more and have an easier time making decisions because you will “know” what you should do. We are all already doing it all the time. Just like a physical muscle, you need to work out your intuition muscles to make them stronger. I wanted to share some things that have helped me along the way. I do not think it is a journey you ever  truly finish. It is my hope that the information I share can help someone that is still maybe a little ways down the road from me.

Throughout my life, almost everyone I know has connected with that place of all knowing in some way.  Here is a personal example to share with you that is short and sweet.  I can often sense when an email is being sent to me and there were a few times when the actual content also flashed in my mind, only to have my email alert go off 2 seconds later with a similar message. I am sure a vast majority of people can relate at least one time that something of that nature happened and I will bet most of you would not consider yourself to be psychic. It happens all the time and we all have the faculty!

No matter the person or the type of information received, there is a common theme throughout. We sense something specific will occur and then it does. Personally, I get this rush of excitement when a psychic impression is validated. I think that surge of emotion comes because we have no logical way of knowing that was going to happen, yet we knew and that can be freaky but also really cool.  Of course, like any ability, some are naturally born with a very strong sense while the rest of us fall somewhere else along the scale. We all have potential to impove if we choose. I am working very hard to advance my ability because I believe that having a strong, reliable connection to that on a consistent basis can be of great service to people.

We use our intuition more than we think. It is so subtle that we are not even aware of it. Our lifestyles are on fast forward and the only way to tap into it is to slow everything down.  A good way to start being more aware and increasing impressions is to keep a little notepad that you can bring everywhere. Everytime you have an intuitive thought, write it down and you will see how many times throughout the day you are using your 6^th sense. You will be surprised at how many impressions turn out to be correct.  Do not sensor anything, no matter how weird or random it seems.  If you have a flash in your mind of hearing the word “banana”, just write it down and see if it happens. I really have fun doing this and it is a great way to start being more aware of that part of yourself and build your confidence in your abilities.  

Meditation is a key to getting your mind where it needs to be so that you can be aware of the impressions. If your brain is on ludicrous speed, then you will not be able to pick up what the “other you” is trying to say. You do not have to spend hours a day doing this. To start, 10-20 minutes a few times a week is a good way to ease in.    Eventually, you should aim for a daily sitting. You may or may not receive impressions when you are meditating. If you like, write down any thoughts that come to your mind that you feel are important, whether it is an impression, insight, or new idea.  It can be hard to sit at first but try your best to stick with it. Once it becomes regular practice, you will swear you cannot live without it. Sit quietly somewhere comfortable. Reduce distractions to an absolute minimum as best you can. Light some candles or incense and/or play some relaxing music. It is up to you. The key is to try to slow down your mind. This is hard sometimes. If thoughts keep coming just acknowledge and dismiss them. Do not engage, judge, or analyze them. These thoughts are not you, they are created by you and you can control them. Next time you get anxious, tell yourself that you are having an anxious thought. Do not tell yourself that you are prone to anxiety or are an anxious person. Then replace it with an affirmation or some other positive sentiment. Eliminating negative thinking as much as possible can change your life.

There are many great resources for intuitive development. Many great workshops and classes are available all over the country. Books and Cd’s can be found both online and in bookstores. Information abounds on the internet. There are many ways to pursue a path of study, but the most important thing is practicing and focusing on your impressions and not all on theory in a book. It is helpful of course but will not in itself advance your actual intuition. I highly recommend a development class to build confidence. Even if you have never had a psychic experience before, I guarantee you will have one at a class like this. The energy created by like minded individuals trying to tap into this knowledge will open you up for sure. You may shock yourself with the things you know and it will show you that the potential exists if the right vibration is achieved. That vibration is the key. Once you find a source of information that peaks your interest, give it a fair try and see how you develop. If you stick with it, I promise you that you will see your ability advance. It is already there, it just needs some tweaking.

Good luck on your journey within yourself. Remember that it may not be easy at times, but it is worth the effort. You will soon see what can be achieved is limitless and the power of your mind is the key to a better future.
