The 6 Must-Knows of Hearing and Trusting Your Intuition

First Things First: The Skinny on Psychic Ability and Intuition

Understanding Intuition: More Than a Feeling

Intuition is a vital function of the human mind. It’s not imaginary or mystical—it’s a scientifically recognized phenomenon. As real as your physical body, intuition lives alongside your thoughts and emotions. It connects you directly to your subconscious and provides access to creativity, wisdom, and unique discernment.

The more you act on your intuition, the more confident and attuned you become to its messages. In contrast, ignoring it weakens that connection.

Why We Ignore Intuition

Unfortunately, many people undervalue intuition—especially in Western cultures where logic and data are praised. We’re taught to distrust inner knowing, and as a result, we often second-guess ourselves and regret the decisions we make when we don’t follow that quiet voice within.

Intuition struggles to break through the rational mind. You can’t always explain intuition, but you can learn to recognize and trust it. Where logic helps the mind interpret reality, intuition allows the spirit to experience it.

Malcolm Gladwell’s Take: Thinking Without Thinking

In Blink, bestselling author Malcolm Gladwell explores how some of our best thinking happens in an instant. He doesn’t label it as intuition, but that’s what he’s describing. According to Gladwell, these quick reactions are completely rational—they just operate faster and more mysteriously than conscious decision-making.

He explains that what seems like gut instinct is actually the result of deeply informed processing that happens beneath the surface—what he calls “thinking that moves a little faster.”

The Must-Knows of Accessing Your Intuition

1. Stop Second-Guessing

To strengthen your intuition, avoid doubting it before giving it a chance to guide your actions.

2. Listen to Your Body

Physical sensations often deliver intuitive messages. Trust your body’s signals and resist external pressures.

3. Say Yes to “Ah-Ha” Moments

Those sudden flashes of insight aren’t random—they’re meaningful. Pause, reflect, and let them guide you.

4. Learn the Difference: Fear, Hope, or Truth?

Not all gut feelings are true intuition. Practice discerning between fear-based thinking, wishful hope, and unbiased intuitive knowing.

5. Stay Neutral

Intuitive messages are usually calm, clear, and emotionally neutral. They might carry a gentle tone, but they rarely come with drama.

6. Trust Is Key

If there’s one word to remember, it’s trust. Your intuition is your subconscious communicating critical information. Trust your gut.

How to Strengthen Your Intuition

Let Go of Limiting Beliefs

To enhance your intuitive power, release any negative beliefs you hold about intuition. Let go of past emotional wounds that could cloud your judgment. These emotional residues often interfere with the clarity of intuitive messages.

Own Your Decisions

Don’t be afraid to admit that you’re making a decision based on your gut, even without concrete evidence. Many visionary leaders didn’t rely on data alone—they moved forward based on inner conviction.

Be Willing to Wait

Sometimes intuition tells you not to act yet. Waiting allows new insights or external circumstances to align. This is your higher self and the universe collaborating behind the scenes.

Logic Feels Comfortable—But Intuition Knows Better

While logic often feels safer, your gut may quietly disagree. In those moments, intuition is guiding you toward something deeper and truer. Remember: intuition isn’t witchcraft—it’s a God-given inner compass for protection and growth that anyone can learn to use.

Intuition: Your Subconscious Powerhouse

To recap, intuition is an essential human faculty. It’s deeply connected to your subconscious and exists right alongside your rational mind and emotional world. The more you trust it, the more accurate and empowering it becomes.

What It Really Means to Be Psychic

Being psychic isn’t about reading fortunes or predicting futures. It’s about self-actualization—helping yourself and others uncover truth and clarity. Most people seek psychics for insight on life’s key areas: health, career, finances, love, and relationships. Often, the messages shared are truths the client already knows, but hasn’t fully accepted.
