Intuition FAQ
Wondering if you are intuitive? How to get clearer intuition? How does intuition works? Here are the most common Intuition FAQ I get asked as an intuition coach.
A professional intuitive can provide clear, unbiased intuitive insights for other people. Professional intuition is different from personal intuition because it taps into external intuitive information without distortion, collision and pollution.
My intuitive awakening was trigger when I became pregnant with my son. I initially didn’t believe in intuition so I suppressed it because it was weird. But powerful messages kept popping into my head and I timidly started to tell people about them. Over time, I realized these intuitive insights were accurate and helpful, which led me to trust and develop my intuition further.
The best intuitive readings always begin with the question: “What do you most need to hear today?” This approach often shocks clients with out of the blue answers! But they always resonate and helps “prove” the value of intuition. Once that initial trust is established, it’s easier to dive deeper and find powerful moments of clarity about where they feel stuck. You should always walk away from an intuitive with a sense of empowerment and knowing your next steps.
Intuition is a problem solving strategy that stacks the odds in your favor. It’s often perceived as “being lucky”. But it’s different from imagination or wishful thinking because it consistently leads to real, positive results.
The most important step to strengthen your intuition is to learn how to recognize it and trust it enough to take the next step. If you feel that your intuition is broken, it’s because you suppress it and don’t trust it.
Both! Many women learn to ignore their intuition as they grow up, because it’s not always logical. So it gets get quieter and quieter when we don’t pay attention to it. If you want to be fluently intuitive, write down your intuitive messages!
We have two decision making systems: logic and intuition. They are not opposing but complementary! Logic uses conscious information to achieve goals with a step-by-step process. While intuition relies on subconscious information to find creative solutions that are otherwise hidden from us.
Intuition has its own channel of communication which includes emotions, physical sensations, images and sounds. These raw intuitive insights are then refined into words so we can confidently take the next step. You can also receive fully formed sentences and ideas but beware that they are more susceptible to the three nemesis of intuition: distortion, collision and pollution.
There’s three major advantages of intuition. 1) Clarity: The immediate gratification of intuition is to provide a soul deep insight (a-ah moment) about the root cause of the problem. 2) Access to Hidden Opportunities: While logic tends to follow a linear path, intuition is more exponential, surprising us with unexpected breakthroughs and hidden paths to success. 3) The Express Lane: Intuition draws on subconscious information to stack the odds in our favor and get us to our goals a lot faster. Like being in the right place at the right time!
Is intuition the same as a gut feeling?
A gut feeling in a “raw” form of intuition. In order to become actionable, gut feelings need to be refine into words.
Can intuition be trusted?
If you have an intuitive injury (you had a bad experience), it will be very difficult to trust your intuition again. But doubt is the silent killer of intuition! You can learn to trust your intuition again by 1) getting a clean intuitive insights (no distortion, collision or pollution) 2) taking a small (non-scary) decision based on it. Building trust is a gradual process: no leap of faith necessary!
How can I tell the difference between intuition and fear or anxiety?
Intuition ALWAYS feels better. No exceptions. You you receive an intuitive insight (either from yourself or someone else), it will feel like relief, resonance, hope or clarity. If you feel something else, you have most likely encountered distortion, collision or pollution.
Are some people naturally more intuitive than others?
Yes. Women who were encouraged to nurture their intuition as children are more likely to be intuitive. Also, if you encounter a spiritual trigger (like an accident or life changing event), you are more likely to unleash your intuition all of a sudden.
What are some signs that I’m experiencing intuition?
Because intuition is complementary to logic, it usually feel irrational or unexpected. You have a gut feeling not to attend an event. You like someone at first sight. You have physical symptoms that don’t heal, even though they should. All these can be an intuitive messages trying to come through your consciousness.
