Trusting your intuition – write it down
I was lucky enough to be joined by a small group of lovely women over the weekend for my ‘developing your intuition’ workshop.
Although the workshop covers a range of topics and techniques to help you open your intuition and communication with your spirit guides, one of the key things which I took out of the weekend was the element of trust which is involved.
It’s important, especially when starting out, to trust the information you receive. This means initially trusting that you DO have the ability to pick up on this kind of information and then trusting that what you receive is there to help guide you. Following your intuition can be riddled with fear for many, as there is no ‘real’ or ‘logical’ explanation for wanting to follow a particular path.
A great way to build that trust in yourself is to record everything you receive. By writing down everything – from a simple hunch through to specific guidance you may receive – you can begin to notice your own accuracy, which over time gives you more and more confidence in the information you are receiving.
Try writing down what information you receive and the way in which you receive it. Information can be received in any number of ways – through clairvoyance (images), clairaudience (sounds), clairsentience (feeling or sensing),claircogniance (‘just knowing’), clairgustiance (taste) and clairaliance (smell). (I talk about these some more in this post).
For example, you could jot down whether you saw a flash of a picture, or heard a specific name, date or place, perhaps you felt a certain way, either good or bad, or just knew something to be true. Sometimes the information comes in a number of ways at once. For example, you might see a picture of a person you know, know that you need to contact them and feel like the reason is a positive one. Write down what this felt like so you can recognise it next time around.
Overtime, you will start to develop a guidebook to help you decipher the signs and symbols you receive and what it means, so it’s easier for you to follow your own intuition.
