Intuition is the ability to accurately, instinctually, know things. These "knowings" don't
come from the thinking mind. They are energetic messages sent from another plane of existence.
Your Higher Self can communicate with these energies on a Spiritual level. Your Higher Self (or Spirit) isn't inside of you; you are inside of it. It is energy that extends far beyond your physical body. It transcends time and space as we know it.
Even though you might not be conscious of it, humans always receive intuitive information. As we awaken to the Universe's Spiritual nature, our conscious awareness can expand to include intuitive and psychic information.
It's helpful to learn the ways that people receive intuitive information. The most common ways are through the "clairs," which are similar to your five senses, but they perceive other levels of reality than your normal five senses do. Everyone has different strengths and weaknesses regarding which Clair senses work best for them, and you can learn to communicate effectively with any of them.
The Clairs:
Clairvoyance means clear sight. These are usually images you see inside of your head.
Clairaudience means clear hearing. These are sounds that convey messages.
Claircognizance means clear knowing. These are ideas that seem to appear in your mind. I receive this type of information when I am writing.
Clairsentience means clear feeling. Sensations in your body that give you messages. A typical example is a gut feeling.
Clairalience means clear smelling. Have you ever randomly smelled the distinct perfume of a deceased loved one?
Clairgustance is clear tasting. Once, I was doing a mediumship reading, and I suddenly tasted lemon. When I conveyed that to the sitter, she said that her mother had always made her a special dessert from the lemons she grew in her yard!
Journaling Activity
How do you already receive intuition?
Pick up your journal and brainstorm ways you already receive intuitive information from your Higher Self.
Write the answers to the following questions:
What types of things make you feel inspired? Pictures? Words? Songs?
These answers can give you insight into ways you naturally intuit.
When do answers come to you, or do you instinctively know what to do?
How does the information come to you? Do you get a feeling? A flash of an image in your mind? (Hint: It probably seems so natural and normal to you that you don't think of it as intuition.)
I'd love to hear how you receive intuition! Feel free to share in the comments!
