Using Intuition as Your Guide

You have within you an inner guidance system that will never let you down. As Caroline Myss says, “you are all so intuitive you are ready to implode.” I had heard words like this for so many years. I have read books on intuition, given speeches on how to be intuitive, even had profound personal experiences around intuition, yet I had a block to trusting my daily intuition until recently.

I have always used my intuition with my coaching clients. I get symbols, impressions or metaphors that I share with them while in a session and they have always found them insightful and forward moving. Yet, for some unknown reason I was unable to consciously incorporate it into my own life.

Something shifted in me at a recent seminar in Maine with Dr. Mona Lisa Schultz. I won’t tell you how she conducted her intuitive teaching because I hope you get a chance to experience her training for yourself one day. I will just say on Saturday morning I was making excuses why I was not as intuitive as the many learned members of her audience and by the time I left Sunday evening I knew without a doubt that I was so intuitive… I really was ready to implode.

What will I do with my shift in consciousnesses and why am I writing to you about it? The reason I am telling you about my experience is similar to when I quit smoking. I kept shouting to all who would listen 30 years ago, “this is so wonderful …give it a try! I can breathe clearly now!!!” Today I want to shout, “this is so wonderful …give it a try! I can see clearly now!!!”  

Alright, for you it may not be seeing. It might be hearing. There are at least 5 ways to tap into your intuition. Clairvoyance means clear seeing. This is for the highly visual person. Clairaudience means clear hearing. For me it is not like voices but more of a thought or word that pops into my mind. Clairsentience means clear feeling. This one is easy to spot. How many times have you said, “I felt in my gut that wasn’t right?” Clairalience means clear smelling. Have you ever walked into a room and smelled flowers when none were around? Clairgustance means clear tasting. You are able to taste things that remind you of someone when no food is in sight?

We use all of our senses when we tap into our intuition, yet you will probably have one sense that is the strongest. Take some time to notice which sense you use and trust the most. TRUST is the key word. If you don’t allow your intuition to grow, then sadly it won’t!

You can log your knowing in a journal and check your accuracy when able. Log in your journal who is calling before you answer the phone. Which friend is pregnant but hasn’t told anyone yet? Is the man I am having dinner with tonight a good fit for me? (One word of caution when using your intuition to discern a new partner, make sure it is your intuition speaking and not your fear). Keep playing until you are able to use your intuition to guide your life.

Mother's Intuition

A mother’s intuition is only one kind of intuition but seems to be the easiest to access. I believe it has to do with the bond that every mother has with her children. Even if they are estranged now, at the moment of birth a special sacred bond was formed.  

I had a very profound experience myself with mother’s intuition a few years ago. Reading in bed, with my husband at my side, my eyes became heavy so I turned off my lamp to go to sleep. My husband continued to read and in just a few minutes my eyes flew open. My husband and I argue this next point. He says I was asleep (in alpha stage) and I say, "No, I was awake." Either way I sat bolt upright and said, “One of my girls is going to be in an accident. I cannot tell which one but one of them will be in an accident.”  My husband patted my arm and said to go back to sleep. There really was nothing else I could do. I couldn’t call them at their homes and tell them this. After all, what good would it do? It would only scare them and put negative thoughts into their mind so I decided to dismiss it. After much tossing and turning I was able to finally fall back to sleep.

The next morning I only gave it a passing thought and went to work as usual. About ten o’clock that morning the phone rang. It was my daughter’s horse trainer saying, “Lora took a bad fall going over a triple jump with her horse and I need you to take her to the hospital. She refuses an ambulance.”  I rushed to her side, a half hour drive, and as I walked out to the riding ring where she was sitting, these words rushed out of my mouth without thought , “I knew you were going to be in an accident but I thought it was going to be in a car.”

Lora’s trainer turned to me and said, “You knew this would happen?” I said again, “I knew my child was going to be an accident but I thought it would be with a car.” She looked at me and said, “Oh yes, mother’s intuition. It is strong.” My daughter, Lora, was hurt pretty badly but made a complete recovery in a couple of weeks.

This is the experience that made me sit up and take notice as they say! I started paying closer attention to how often I make conscious and unconscious choices based on my intuition and it was often. Shortly after that a friend of mine asked me how I had decided on a certain thing (something we were working on) and without hesitation I said, “By using my intuition as I always do.” This comment actually surprised me. Not that I didn’t realize it on a certain level but to pronounce it so quickly and strongly made me take notice once again.  This led me to the study of intuition and how we are all blessed with it. It is not for a select few but something we can all tap into.  

My invitation to you is to start paying attention to when you use your own intuition. How is it useful in your every day life? Did you even realize that you were intuitive?
