Introduction to Intuition

Intuition is your internal compass. If you are not familiar with intuition, you may question whether it is real or just an imaginary concept. If you are skeptical about the function and uses of the intuitive senses, it is important to keep an open mind as you give yourself the opportunity to explore a realm of knowledge beyond the five physical senses. In my view, intuition is the voice of your soul and, as such, is an indispensable part of your spiritual journey. In the end, you are always the final judge of what is real for you and what you choose to use as a guidance system for your life. Intuition has been described by many names: a “gut feel,” an internal knowing, a hunch, an image or impression, an inner voice, a body-based awareness or even excitement or discomfort about a particular situation. Intuition is a non-physical sense, a perceptual system that belongs to the realm of spirit, in contrast with the physical senses which belong to the material world. Intuition is intended to give you information about your world that may not be readily available to your physical senses. Among other things, intuition is designed to give you insight and knowledge about your life and the unfolding of your soul’s path that cannot be gained strictly by a “rational” or analytical approach. It is an unfortunate truth that once we become integrated into the physical plane following birth, most of us unconsciously disconnect from our soul’s intuitive guidance and wisdom. Instead, we typically supplant this guidance with information we get from others and from our physical senses - this is how we are brought up in Western societies, and thus, going against this conditioning requires awareness and conscious effort. By blocking our intuitive sense from an early age, we lose the conscious connection with our own soul. From there, it becomes easy to forget that we are immortal beings of light who have come to Earth to further the growth of our souls. Fortunately, you have the power to reverse this spiritual amnesia by finding your intuition and reconnecting with the voice of your soul. By doing this, you can once again find your own truth and remember yourself as the beautiful, powerful, creative being that you truly are. And from this place, you can live your life with confidence, knowing that you have a purpose and a reason for being here on Earth.
