10 Ways to Develop Your Intuition
By Susan Dunn
Intuition is innate to all of us; it's hard-wired. To develop this crucial lifeskill and learn how to trust it takes practice. Here are some ways to do that.
- Suspend disbelief.
- Be relaxed and not in a hurry. Nothing grows well when it's rushed.
- Don't try to use willpower or force.
- Some people's intuitive ability increases if they ask an inantimate object (a rock, a leaf, whatever) to "give" them the information. (It takes the pressure off!)
- Establish a regular place, time and routine for practising accessing your intuition.
- Start slowly and practice on inconsequential things.
- You'll know when it's your intuition, because you'll have great clarity and certainty.
- Intuition is contagious. Therefore, hang out with people who have strong intuition, value it and use it.
- Don't do anything you feel confused or uncomfortable with under the guise of "intuition." If you're confused or uncomfortable, it isn't your intuition.
- Get a coach or teacher. Feedback is good when you're learning, it helps you keep the ego-aspects in perspective, and keeps you from overload.
