After almost two decades I’ve had the opportunity to help thousands of individuals open up to their psychic abilities. Being psychic doesn’t mean you get the lottery numbers or get to escape learning lessons here on the earthly plane. Intuition is your sixth sense, and everyone is born with this ability.
The best way I have found to understand this concept is to watch animals. Animals don’t attend parenting classes or question their senses. They feel fear when danger is near, and they have innate nurturing abilities. You will see an animal run if there is going to be an earthquake or a natural disaster. This is their intuition and they trust it. Small children also have a “sense of knowing” and children have not had an array of life experiences to understand what is happening. However, we tell our children to do things that society deems acceptable instead of letting them trust their gut.
While trying to follow guidelines that society creates, which can include a person’s religious beliefs, we turn off that sixth sense that is our birth right. How many times have you regretted that you didn’t listen to that little voice in your head?
Even as a psychic medium I still let the outside world influence me, but I keep trusting and I keep trying to listen to my intuition and heart.
The first time I got married, I thought “I could leave right now if I wanted too” as I was walking down the aisle. During the exchange of my vows I thought “I could still say no”, but of course I didn’t. What a surprise, the marriage lasted less than a year. For years, I had been upset with him and all that happened around the marriage and situation, until one day I took accountability because I did not listen to my inner voice. Has something like this happened to you?
Intuition comes with a couple of things, trust and surrender. Not an easy thing for most of us to do. Trusting that inner voice, means that you do not ignore it because others may judge you or try to talk you out of something. It is your journey, trust your intuition.
Surrender, means you do not try to control the outcome. Most of us want and desire love, abundance and a healthy life. But, we try to control what “we” believe will make us happy instead of letting the universe bring in wonderful things you never imagined would be possible.
I had no plan of ever becoming a medium until I surrendered to it. I never imagined this would be my work. Getting out of your own way is a big step and trusting that you will be okay is essential. When I chose to use and perfect my medium abilities I knew there would always be judgment and knew I would probably would lose friends and family, which I did.
Before becoming a medium, my life was not going well, and I was trying to control what I believe was the best outcome for our family. Well, I was wrong and it took me a while to accept this new way of thinking.
Meditation maybe difficult for many. It’s about being present, so you can listen to that inner voice. Start by practicing with thinking of small questions. When people start on this path they don’t start with simple things, such as where should I go eat today that will help me with my energy? What line at the grocery store is good or which is the best way to drive home so we are all safe?
Have you ever listened to that “voice” when you think of someone, then you reach out to them and they tell you that something good just happened or they were having a difficult time? They may even tell you that they were thinking of you and were about to reach out. That’s your intuition.
KISS; Keep it simple sweetie is what I teach. When you are at the beginning stages of trying to use your intuition I highly recommend that you don’t try focusing with the big life choices such as a job change, selling a home or leaving a relationship. There will be too much attached to these life choices.
There are lots of oracle cards that you can purchase to begin practicing. Try this on yourself and maybe a few friends with their permission. This gives you new insights and tools to help you develop a more solid inner voice.
Go be in nature, take a hot bath, listen to good music, color mandalas, cook your favorite dish, laugher and even dancing can help you release what you are worried about so that inner voice can jump in to help. Write down any insight you feel and trust that this is from universe. If you begin to question everything you receive or if you choose to share with others and they are judgmental of you then go back to what you wrote and see how it feels without the negative voices.
You are born with your own GPS; Guided Psychic System. It’s up to you to use it. It wasn’t taken away from you, it is still there to use when you open yourself.
Surrender and trust the process.
You can do it!
