You know that saying, “Trust your instincts”? That refers to one of our senses that most of us don’t even know we have.
It’s called intuition.
What is intuition really?
According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, intuition is interpreted as:
a) Quick and ready insight;
Immediate anxiety or cognition
c) Knowledge or conviction gained by intuition; or
d) The power or faculty of attaining to direct knowledge or cognition without evident rational thought and inference
To the majority of us, intuition is that tiny voice in your head that sometimes tells you what to do when you are most confused.
Its that feeling in your guts that sometimes tells you whether you should or should not trust that person that you just met. It is a natural gift that we are born with, along with our five senses of touch, taste, sight, sound and smell.
Usually, the majority of us cannot explain that little voice or that nagging sensation. We know sometimes that something is not the way it should be, however we just do not know how we know it.
There are many benefits to honing your intuition skills. According to experts, building your intuition skills can help build your emotional, physical and spiritual health.
Many people have no idea that they are intuitive. But it is actually fairly simple to develop your intuition skills. Here are six easy steps you can use to grow your intuition skills:
1. Get Closer With Your Feelings
Most of us are so clueless and out of tune with how we really feel inside that we go around with a feeling of numbness. It’s either that or we’re a bundle of nerves, which stemmed from a lifetime of stress at work or at home…
The worst is when we suppress our ‘gut feelings’ and ignore them. When was the last time your guts tried to tell you something and you ignored it? Did it come true? Did you hit your forehead and said “I KNEW IT!”?
So the next time your guts try to tell you something, try to listen to it and slowly but surely, you will build your intuition muscles.
2. Meditate
Meditation is certainly one of the best ways to assist you grow your intuition skills as it is usually used to clear the mind of clutter
Clutter can block your intuition from coming through and with meditation, you will not only have clearer and sharper thoughts, you will also see drastic improvements to the power of your mind as it not only opens up the senses, but it quiets the mind and increases your vibration, both necessary for increased intuition.
3. Listen To Your Body
Most of the time, our body reacts to our environment but because we have not sharpened our bodies’ intuitions abilities, we tend to ignore it as ‘just a feeling’.
Sometimes our bodies try to tell us if something is right or wrong, and most of the time, its right.
For example, if our bodies suddenly tense up or pulls away from a situation, it is an indicator that something is not right, while expansion and relaxation means that everything is alright!
So try to listen to your body more and take note of its reaction and your surrounding environment everytime there is a reaction.
4. Play Games With Yourself
This is a great way to build your intuition skills, and its fun too! So the next time the telephone rings, try to identify who it is. Keep note of how close you get after a few times. The more you try, the more you are growing your intuition muscles.
You can also create games yourself. Some of my favorites are guessing when the light will turn green next and what color the next car that passes by my window is!
5. Believe in your first impressions
When you see someone for the first time and think that he is a bit too arrogant for your taste, chances are that impression could be true.
First impressions are brought by intuition, so even though your rational mind tells you that you are ‘being silly’, why not trust your intuition a little and ‘file’ that thought in your mind until it proves itself to be true – which it will.
