How to Develop Your Intuition: 4 Ways that Actually Work

In our modern world, intuition is often undervalued or dismissed.

We’re often taught – or conditioned – to suppress our intuition, inner knowing, gut sense, and ability to see through appearances and into the truth of things.

(Seeing the TRUTH of any situation is a powerful gift, and often threatening to the status quo!)

Perhaps, like many of us, you developed a coping mechanism of “shutting down” your strong intuition and intuitive abilities.

This can look a lot of different ways, most commonly:

• privileging your rational or analytical mind over your intuition and gut-level knowing
• overriding your intuition with “logical” arguments (or overthinking everything to death – I’ve been there!)
• questioning or second-guessing your intuitive nudges and messages from your Higher Self and/or Guides
• convincing yourself you’re “blocked” and don’t have access to your intuition
• not trusting your inner knowing and regularly seeking out answers, validation, or reassurance from other people

As you rebuild (or claim for the first time) FULL access to your intuition, intuitive gifts, and multidimensional abilities, I want to suggest 4 practices that actually work and can support you in this process.

Here they are:

#1 Attune yourself to each “clair” for a full day (or week)

The “clairs” are the intuitive channels through which we receive Divine guidance, nudges, awarenesses, information, and Soul-level messages.

• CLAIRVOYANCE – clear seeing
• CLAIRAUDIENCE – clear hearing
• CLAIRSENTIENCE – clear feeling (and sensing)
• CLAIRCOGNIZANCE – clear knowing

You can set an intention to connect to, strengthen, and experience the world through each of these clairs, one at a time.

For each one, explore:

What does it feel like to move through the day (and the world) when I’m attuned to my clairvoyance [or other clair]?

What do I notice? What’s revealed to me through this clair?

#2 Spend time daydreaming & exercising your imaginative faculties

Many of us got lost in imagination as children, and were effortlessly connected to the magic & wonder of the Universe.

Then we’re told we have to “grow up” and “magic isn’t real” (or “magic is for little kids”). Well… magic IS real, and it’s for adults too!!

This weekend or over the coming week, make some intentional time to sit under a tree, or gaze out of a window, and get lost in daydreaming, fantasy, imagination.

Maybe even draw what your imagination comes up with. Drawing, when done without judgment or self-censorship, is a powerful way to bypass the “rational” mind and connect to your subconscious.

What does your intuition reveal when you do this?

#3 Work with the Akashic Records to clear blocks, fears, or self-doubt related to your intuitive gifts

The Records can help you clear out current-lifetime or past-life trauma related to being intuitive, clairvoyant, a healer or mystic or witch, etc.

The Records can also help you fully embody your Higher Self and activate ALL of your multidimensional abilities, skills, and gifts.

Here’s a resource that can support with this: Meditation to connect with your Higher Self in the Akashic Records.

(You can also get my free Akashic Records Mini Course.)

#4 Allow (and invite) your intuition to speak through your body

Open your Akashic Records and, while being held there, invite your body to share its deepest wisdom (and your inner knowing) through sensations, emotions, feelings, nudges, and/or hunches.

Let your body know – maybe by writing a letter to your body – that you’re willing to receive its messages and TRUST what it shares with you.

Sometimes, in these letters it’s also helpful to lovingly apologize to our bodies for dismissing or mistreating them in the past…

… something like, “dear body, I’m so sorry for overriding your signals in the past or for not wanting to hear what you were trying to communicate to me. I was doing the best I could at the time. I’m open and ready to rebuild a strong, loving, mutually respectful and beneficial relationship with you now.”

Or whatever language resonates and feels right to you.

From there, pay attention to what you feel, sense, and notice in & through your body throughout the day.
