(48) 8 SECRETS OF HIGHLY INTUITIVE WOMEN ✨Use Your Intuition to Get Everything You Want · Alignment With Jenn

0:00
Welcome to this episode of the Alignment with Jen podcast.
0:03
Today we are going to be talking all about intuition, and there's
0:07
an amazing quote that I love, and it is that intuition is a
0:10
very powerful thing, more powerful than intellect in my
0:14
opinion. Do you know who said that?
0:16
It was Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple.
0:18
And I love to talk about Steve Jobs when we talk about
0:21
intuition because he used intuition so much as one of the
0:25
guiding principles and it allowed him to create one of the
0:28
most successful companies in the world.
0:30
A big part of the reason that Apple was so successful is
0:34
because he followed his intuition very early on when he
0:38
was in school, he decided to drop out of school and he began
0:41
auditing classes just that interested him.
0:43
And something that really interested him was calligraphy,
0:46
which is like the beautiful writing and him learning about
0:50
calligraphy, even though at the time he had no idea why.
0:53
He had no purpose for him to learn about calligraphy.
0:56
Simply it was just interesting to him.
0:58
He ended up using that in order to create the beautiful
1:02
typeface. That was one of the things that
1:04
really distinguished Apple from its competitors at the time.
1:08
And what's really interesting about that is when you think
1:11
about part of the reason Apple is so successful is because it
1:14
is a beautiful user experience, right?
1:17
And that is a big part of his early learnings that he had had.
1:21
And so I share that because our intuition is something that is
1:25
exceptionally powerful and it is able to collapse time when we
1:29
learn how to use it correctly. But I think that nowadays we're
1:33
almost like intuition starved in that a lot of people are so in
1:37
their fight or flight, they're so in their doing and in their
1:40
hustle, and they're not leaned back enough to be able to listen
1:43
to their intuition. The thing is, our intuition is
1:46
always on. It is our ability to listen to
1:49
it and our ability to actually take action on it that allows us
1:54
to be very powerful, intuitive people.
1:57
And I really believe that in order for you to reach your
1:59
highest timeline in the most rapid way possible, you have to
2:04
use your intuition. Intuition literally collapses
2:06
time. For myself, I look back at my
2:09
own timeline and the biggest leaps I've ever made have been
2:13
from following my own intuition. And so today, what I really want
2:16
to give you is essentially a guide to first understand what
2:20
is intuition. One of the biggest questions I
2:22
get is, Jen, is this my intuition?
2:24
Or is this my fear? Is this something that I'm just
2:27
afraid of, right? The ability to distinguish our
2:30
intuition from truth versus not truth.
2:33
And then I also want to give you a little guidebook of how to
2:35
actually build your intuition in order to become a very powerful
2:39
intuitive. So I'm really, really excited
2:42
about this episode. I hope that you absolutely love
2:44
it. So I want to share a part of my
2:47
own journey that really I feel like collapsed time and allowed
2:51
me to do a very large quantum leap in my life.
2:54
I've had a lot of these experiences where I feel like my
2:56
whole life changed in a very short period of time.
2:59
And it was always from my ability to follow my intuition.
3:02
That's the only way I can explain it.
3:04
Even my business, I was at this dinner party last night and
3:07
somebody asked me like, oh, how did you start your business?
3:10
And I don't even really know how to answer that question because
3:13
for me, it was just like following my intuition after
3:16
intuition after intuition. I don't remember getting the
3:18
ideas. I just remember moving and being
3:21
pulled by life. And that's a certain aspect of
3:24
intuition. And I've developed that over
3:26
time, right? And so I want to help you
3:28
develop and strengthen your intuition so you can collapse
3:31
time. Last December, I was at dinner
3:33
with a friend and she starts telling me about how she wants
3:35
to start a podcast and she's going to be working with these
3:38
people to record the podcast in a studio.
3:41
And at the time, I had this podcast, but it was more of a
3:43
hobby. It was like I would record
3:45
episodes when I felt felt like it, when I felt inspired.
3:48
I didn't do any video anything like that.
3:50
And when she said that I just had this intuitive knowing, like
3:53
you need to find a podcast studio, you need to start
3:55
filming in the studio. It was that deep intuitive
3:58
knowing, right? And that's something I want you
4:00
to think about for yourself is what does intuition feel like in
4:03
your body? And we'll talk about that more.
4:05
For me, it just feels like this. I just know.
4:08
I just know that that's what I supposed to do So I knew.
4:10
So I found this podcast studio that I'm recording in now.
4:13
And as a result, it has helped me to create the kind of
4:17
business that I wanted. It really shifted my business
4:19
model. Now I have so many people
4:21
reaching out who really understand what I teach and
4:24
understand what I am about versus before people didn't
4:27
understand what I was teaching and it didn't feel as cohesive
4:32
as it does now. But what's really interesting is
4:35
the reason that this was so significant is I didn't really
4:39
have a reason to actually record the podcast in a studio.
4:42
It's obviously an investment to do that.
4:44
It didn't really make financial sense, right?
4:46
The math wasn't really mafhing because I wasn't making any
4:49
money off of it. I wasn't getting very many views
4:52
at the time on my podcast. Like I was getting maybe like
4:54
200 listens an episode, which is very little.
4:57
So there was no logical reason for me to do it.
5:00
And that's a very big hallmark of why people don't follow their
5:03
intuition is because they try to logic it out.
5:06
But I knew because I've done this before, right?
5:08
What it felt like for me. So I followed that intuition.
5:11
And what I didn't know is that Spotify had been pushing video
5:15
go on the platform. Podcasts that were hosted on
5:18
Spotify with video were getting pushed out more.
5:20
So my podcast started getting pushed out a ton.
5:23
And that's what allowed me to kind of shift and change my
5:25
business into something that felt more aligned, drew in even
5:29
more amazing, amazing people into my world, has helped me to
5:32
grow my business. And it was all simply because I
5:35
followed that intuition. I didn't try to logic it out.
5:38
I just trusted, right? And so for you, I want you to
5:41
think about that as kind of where can you apply that into
5:45
your own life to actually follow your own intuition, to take
5:49
steps that maybe you can't explain logically, but that are
5:53
going to allow you to collapse time.
5:55
I really feel this was a time collapse for me.
5:57
And it was because I was able to have faith.
6:00
I was able to trust. A big part of intuition is being
6:04
able to have faith, being able to have courage and trust that
6:08
even though you can't logically explain why something feels
6:12
right for you, that it is right for you, and that you don't need
6:15
anybody else to explain it to you or make it make sense.
6:20
I didn't really tell that many people I was doing this because
6:23
I didn't want them to be like, oh, is that really a good idea?
6:26
Does that actually make sense, right?
6:27
Is that worth the investment? Maybe you should spend your
6:29
money on something else. I didn't want that energy.
6:32
I knew this was right for me, right?
6:34
And so for you, where in your life are you trying to logic
6:39
something out rather than just listening to what you deeply
6:42
know in your soul to be true? So as women, we are naturally
6:47
very, very intuitive. Our intuition is naturally
6:50
strong from birth. We may, as we grow, right, not
6:54
be able to listen to it as much. But when you start practicing
6:57
these tools I'm going to give you in this episode, it's going
6:59
to strengthen. And my goal is that you will
7:02
begin to make more decisions just trusting yourself, trusting
7:06
your intuition, rather than trying to get everybody else's
7:10
opinion right, outsourcing and being like, what do you think
7:13
about this? What do you think about this?
7:14
What do you think about this? Because that weakens the energy
7:19
of what you are manifesting. So imagine that what you're
7:22
manifesting is like a little seedling that you plant into the
7:25
ground. When you plant a seed, it is
7:28
fragile. It's a very fragile thing.
7:30
And you have to water and you have to let it grow before it
7:33
can grow into this strong, impenetrable oak tree.
7:37
OK, but that takes time and energy and nurturing.
7:40
The same thing is true for your manifestations when they're new
7:43
and you don't have any evidence of them.
7:45
They are fragile, just like that seed.
7:48
And so when you share them with people, you have to be very
7:51
conscious about who you're sharing them with because they
7:54
will put their limiting beliefs, their limited thought patterns
7:57
on you, and they will limit you. And they may not.
8:01
Not that this is their fault, right?
8:03
It's your choice whether you take action or not, but their
8:06
influence may inhibit you in some way from taking action.
8:10
So you want to be very conscious about who you share these things
8:13
with. There's some things that I won't
8:15
share with anyone except for my very, very closest friends
8:19
because I want to let them grow and strengthen.
8:23
I don't want the negative energy that they may unconsciously.
8:29
I don't think any of this is malicious, but that they may be
8:31
unconsciously putting on you. I want to share with you a bit
8:35
about the science of intuition first, because I think whenever
8:38
we understand the science, it helps us to believe more deeply,
8:41
right? It's like we get to logic it out
8:43
a little bit. Intuition is not just a
8:46
spiritual concept, it is also something that is very much
8:50
based in how the brain actually works.
8:52
What I believe is that intuition is your subconscious mind, your
8:57
conscious mind, your body, your nervous system, and your higher
9:01
self, your more spiritual self all working together to
9:05
coordinate for you to understand.
9:07
The issue is that often times our subconscious mind and our
9:12
nervous system are taking in massive amounts of information.
9:15
And as you know if you've listened to my podcast before,
9:18
distilling it down into a very small amount of information.
9:22
And that small amount of information is what you are made
9:25
consciously aware of. Less than 1% of the information
9:29
that your nervous system and body and brain are taking in
9:32
every single second is what you are then made aware of.
9:35
That's a very small amount of information.
9:38
So sometimes there are subconscious mind can just give
9:42
us this knowing and we can't logic it out because all that
9:45
information has been swept away and not made into our awareness.
9:50
So sometimes the reason that we may not be able to logically
9:53
explain things is literally because our mind is like, you
9:55
don't need to know that. You just have to have this
9:58
knowing, this feeling for us to understand it.
10:00
OK, That's kind of the neurological understanding of
10:03
it. Another thing to know is that
10:05
your brain and your nervous system are constantly scanning
10:09
for cues in your environment, using all of your different
10:12
senses. And often times we might feel
10:15
something in our body, like a tightness in our chest or a
10:18
beating in our heart or a relaxation in our nervous
10:24
system. And we don't consider those as
10:27
important because we can't logically explain why we're
10:30
feeling those. But The thing is to know that
10:33
those are all coming from information that our mind and
10:37
body is absorbing from our environment that we're not
10:39
consciously aware of. And so when we can start to tune
10:43
in more to those bodily sensations of what's actually
10:46
happening in my body, how do I actually feel on that first date
10:50
with that guy? Do I feel like I can relax?
10:52
Or do I feel like I am just kind of on edge, right?
10:56
Or how do I feel, you know, in that new home that I'm visiting,
11:01
do I feel really good? Or do I feel like something's
11:03
subtly off because that information, it's very easy to
11:07
dismiss it because we can't explain why we feel that way,
11:11
but just know that there's massive amounts of information
11:14
typically that are backing up that simple, simple sensation.
11:19
Another piece of this equation is something called the somatic
11:22
marker hypothesis. So what this is, is that you use
11:27
your bodily sensations and this information in order to make
11:31
decisions. And so we think that our
11:34
decisions are only based off of the information that we know and
11:37
that we can like write down on paper, but that's not the case.
11:41
Our decisions are actually made through this union of what is
11:45
happening in our body, our emotional state, our
11:48
physiological state and our conscious mind.
11:51
So when we go to make a decision about something like if I had
11:55
written down on paper about the podcast and deciding to film in
11:59
a studio, if I had written down all the reasons on paper, it
12:02
would have probably been a very obvious, maybe wait till later
12:05
or no, this isn't a great decision.
12:07
And it's been an amazing decision for me and for my
12:10
business and for the people that I work with because I didn't go
12:14
about it that way, right? I trusted those bodily signals,
12:19
that intuition more. OK.
12:21
So understanding that emotions and sensation are also part of
12:26
the decision making equation. And we so often don't really
12:31
take those into account, but those are actually indicators of
12:34
vast amounts of information that we are not consciously aware of.
12:39
OK. I think that's fascinating
12:41
personally. So let's talk a little bit about
12:47
what happens that causes us to be blocked by our intuition.
12:51
Something that can happen is when we get too much into a
12:55
fight or flight or a beta brain wave state where we're in that
13:00
doing. We're in that mode of got to get
13:02
stuff done right from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM or just go, go, go, go,
13:05
go, go, go, go, going. What happens is that it makes it
13:08
more difficult for us to hear our intuition because we are so
13:12
focused outward. We're focused on what we're
13:14
doing. We're focused on everything
13:16
that's going on around US versus on the actual connection with
13:20
our self. Oftentimes we are more able to
13:23
feel that true connection with our self when we are more slowed
13:27
down and we're in that alpha or Theta brain wave state, right?
13:30
I've talked about this in many episodes, that those slower
13:33
brain wave states when our system is more relaxed are when
13:37
we're able to receive more information from the quantum
13:41
field from our higher self. And so This is why oftentimes
13:47
rest can really, really enhance our intuition.
13:50
The way that I think about it is like rest is an incubation
13:54
period. So often we think that resting
13:58
is not productive or a waste of time because we're not
14:02
physically seeing the result of what we're doing.
14:04
But the physical reality is only 1% of what we are actually
14:09
experiencing. The other 99% is energetic.
14:13
And when we are resting, we are incubating ideas.
14:16
Think about a pregnancy, right? You can't really see a ton
14:20
besides the growth of the belly that's going on, but there's a
14:23
ton that's going on below the surface.
14:25
There's this incubation occurring and what does that
14:28
incubation require? A lot of rest, right?
14:31
It requires a lot of taking care of the body of the mother and of
14:35
the baby. The same is true for anything
14:38
that you want to manifest. There's going to be this
14:40
requirement for that incubation period because when you allow
14:44
yourself to rest, what is actually happening is your
14:48
subconscious mind is not stopping working on the problem.
14:52
So say that you are working on finding a solution for something
14:56
that's happening in your relationship and you think about
14:59
it. And then you're sitting there
15:00
and you're like thinking, thinking, thinking.
15:01
And you're like, OK, I just can't think about this anymore.
15:03
I need to take a break. And you go and take a break and
15:06
you go on a walk with your dog or you go for a drive.
15:09
Often times we'll have these amazing ideas in those moments
15:12
because it allows our subconscious mind to basically
15:15
do that work for us, even though we're not consciously thinking
15:18
about it. And that's what happens in rest,
15:21
right? I think in society today, we've
15:23
so devalued rest. And I'm like, I think it's
15:26
magnificent. I think I notice for myself, the
15:28
more I rest, the more I am actually successful in all areas
15:32
of my life. That is because the ideas that I
15:35
receive, the solutions that I receive are far better than if
15:39
I'm in that doing, doing, doing beta brain wave state, right?
15:43
I'm opening myself up and I'm opening up my connection to the
15:47
universe, to the creator in order to receive ideas.
15:51
They're shortcuts, essentially. Something to know is that stress
15:54
can actually be something that really inhibits our intuition
15:57
because when we are stressed, we are focused on survival and it
16:00
limits our creative abilities. It literally shuts down creative
16:04
parts of our brain and makes us feel like we have blinders on
16:07
and we can only see certain solutions.
16:09
But what happens is when we regulate and calm the nervous
16:12
system through rest and different practices is we open
16:16
ourselves up to that creative capacity and our intuition
16:20
strengthens. It's going to feel more like a
16:23
calm tranquil pond. And you drop 1 stone in that
16:26
calm tranquil pond versus a chaotic rocky water and you drop
16:31
a stone in it, right? That stone is going to be a lot
16:33
more difficult to notice in that rocky water then in a calm,
16:38
tranquil pond. And how our intuition works,
16:41
it's a lot easier when we're calm to hear these insights and
16:44
these intuitions because intuition is not forceful.
16:48
It is calm, it is present. So I wanna talk a little bit
16:51
about what intuition feels like. So intuition is going to feel
16:55
calm, it's going to feel clear. It can feel different for each
17:00
person, but I believe the frequency of it is pretty
17:03
similar, is grounded, it is neutral.
17:06
It is not this frantic, urgent energy.
17:08
That is a fear based response. And the intuition doesn't come
17:13
from fear. It is loving, it is certain, it
17:15
is quiet but steady. It's not going to feel like this
17:20
urgent. You must do this right now here.
17:22
Everything is going to fall apart.
17:24
That is a fear response. Intuition is going to move on a
17:28
slower timeline because intuition is not calved by time
17:32
like fear is. Fear is very focused on time and
17:35
the physical reality. And I want to kind of share with
17:38
you these two little lists that I made so you could understand
17:40
sort of where intuition overlaps between science and
17:44
spirituality, because I think both are talking about the exact
17:46
same thing in so many circumstances.
17:49
And I think it's helpful to understand what the different
17:51
words are for them. So intuition scientifically is
17:54
often talked about as unconscious pattern recognition,
17:58
interception, somatic intelligence, nervous system
18:01
cues, right, The subconscious processing that subconscious
18:04
incubation period. That's how we talk about it more
18:07
scientifically. But spirituality, we talk about
18:09
it as our higher self, as our inner guidance, right?
18:12
As the guidance of our soul, as our connection to the universe.
18:15
And these are all talking about very similar things, but the
18:19
science is talking about more the physical basis, right in the
18:22
spirituality is talking about the energetic basis.
18:25
And I think it's so incredibly cool that science is catching up
18:29
and is able to really explain things that spiritual text have
18:33
talked about for thousands of years.
18:35
I think that's so cool that we're living in that time.
18:38
So let's talk a little bit about why it can be hard to listen to
18:41
your intuition and then how to actually listen to your
18:44
intuition. So one of the reasons, and this
18:46
is really the biggest reason that it's difficult for people
18:49
to hear their intuition is because they're so deeply
18:51
ingrained in their old survival patterns, their old subconscious
18:55
processes of fear, of rejection, of scarcity, of fear of failure,
18:59
of their old attachment patterns of scarcity of self protection.
19:03
When we are in survival and we are constantly scanning for
19:07
threats, it's a lot more difficult to hear our intuition
19:11
because our intuition is more of that creative capacity.
19:14
Sometimes what can happen is if our old patterns are still
19:16
running really strong, these old patterns, these old wounds can
19:20
be confused for intuition. So an example of this I see a
19:23
lot in relationships is, and this sometimes can be true, and
19:27
I've heard this be true before for some of my clients, but
19:31
thinking that a man is doing something bad or doesn't like
19:34
her anymore, but what it really is that's coming up for her or
19:38
her own attachment patterns, her own fears are coming up, right?
19:42
And so she's filtering his behaviors based off of her
19:45
fears, right? That's not intuition.
19:48
That's that old pattern coming up.
19:50
I see it around money a lot as well, where people will be
19:53
fearful of running out of money or fearful of making decisions
19:57
around money. And they won't be able to hear
19:59
their intuition to guide them to the next step financially
20:02
because they're in so much fear around it, right?
20:04
And not seeing that they're actually running on these fear
20:07
based patterns versus the patterns of our higher self and
20:10
our higher soul. And our goal really is to clear
20:13
out all that old gunk and to allow ourselves.
20:16
Selves to see things more clearly in order to run our
20:20
lives by our higher self and our intuition.
20:23
And I always think about it of you have a, you're wearing some
20:26
glasses and you they're all smudged up and you clean off
20:30
those glasses. That's what it feels like to
20:32
remove all of those old patterns that are filtering your reality
20:36
and making it more difficult for you to see things more clearly.
20:41
And as always, if you would like help with that, that is what I
20:44
do in my community. I have an amazing community to
20:47
help reprogram those limiting beliefs, those subconscious
20:50
patterns that are limiting you and to really help you manifest
20:53
that next level. It is so such an amazing,
20:57
amazing place. And if you're interested in
20:58
learning more about that, send me a message on Instagram with
21:02
the Word Podcast and I'll send you a 5 minute video about that.
21:06
My Instagram is at alignment with Jen.
21:09
So let's talk a little bit about the ego, the fear based self
21:13
versus the intuition, the higher self, and what those sound like.
21:17
So the ego is going to sound more protective.
21:19
It's going to sound more fear based, more survival, more
21:22
attached to control and trying to make things happen.
21:27
Because if they don't happen, I'm just going to absolutely
21:29
die, right? Folk obsessed with what other
21:32
people think, that it's very externally focused on survival,
21:37
right? Because survival's very focused
21:38
on the 3D. The intuition is loving, it is
21:41
clear, it is grounded, it is expansive.
21:44
It's the one that's like, hey, I think you can do it.
21:47
I think you should try. I think you're going to be
21:49
amazing. It's that little, almost that
21:51
little inner cheerleader that's excited for you to expand
21:54
because our souls came here to expand.
21:56
It's present, it's calm, it's purposeful, right?
22:00
It is all about those higher, that higher self version of you
22:05
that you know deep in your soul you came here to be.
22:08
It's very heart centered. It's loving.
22:10
It is not the one that's snapping at your partner or
22:13
fearing that you're going to run up money.
22:15
That's old survival patterns. It is certain that you will
22:18
always be taken care of. It is that deeper voice that you
22:23
hear in moments of clarity. OK.
22:27
I want to chat for just a moment about what that actually is
22:29
going to feel like for you to listen to it.
22:32
So there is a journey for each one of us to go on to strengthen
22:37
our intuition because we are going to always be getting
22:40
intuitive hits, intuitive understandings.
22:43
People call them downloads, but our ability to actually act on
22:47
them or actually listen to them is what is going to strengthen
22:51
our belief in them. A lot of people will get them
22:53
and they'll be like, oh, that doesn't really make sense, so
22:56
they won't listen to it. So their intuition never really
22:58
grows. You have to actually act on them
23:01
and take the steps. I trust my intuition so deeply
23:05
because I've done this so many times, right?
23:08
And when I used to be super, super anxious, it was really
23:11
hard for me to hear it right. I had to go through some of that
23:14
healing in order to start to hear it.
23:16
But even when I was super, super anxious, I still remember
23:19
moments where I heard my intuition and I was able to
23:22
actually follow it, right? So it's always with you, it's
23:24
always guiding you. It's just it gets louder and
23:27
more clear the more regulated we are and the less it's competing
23:31
in our mind against old self beliefs.
23:34
So it's going to feel and sound a little bit different for each
23:37
person. As I mentioned, it might feel
23:39
just like a knowing in your body.
23:41
For some people, it might sound like a voice.
23:43
I have a friend who when she met her soulmate, she heard this
23:46
voice in the shower that was like, this is your soulmate.
23:49
You need to stop doubting this and just go for it, right?
23:52
For her, it was that voice. For some people, it's in
23:55
meditation. They get visuals and images, or
23:58
it could even be while you're driving in your car and you just
24:00
have a very clear idea. For you, it's going to be a
24:04
unique relationship. So you have to understand that
24:07
and cultivate that. And what I'd love for you to do
24:10
is just notice over the next 24 hours, how does that come
24:14
through for you? It can come in signs and symbols
24:17
as well. Like I see a lot of hummingbirds
24:20
and every time I see a Hummingbird I consider that like
24:23
a symbol from my higher self because I don't believe anything
24:26
is a coincidence. Noticing for yourself and maybe
24:29
to help you practice if you're like man, I feel like my
24:32
intuition is terrible. Practice by picking a symbol and
24:36
or an image like the Hummingbird and just noticing when you see
24:40
it. For a lot of people, a way to
24:42
practice using their intuition as well is to just noticing
24:45
Angel numbers and when they see Angel members noticing.
24:48
OK, this means that maybe I'm on the right path or what I was
24:52
thinking about is something for me to notice, right?
24:55
But ultimately the goal is that you don't need anything outside
24:57
of you, that you're just very clear within yourself.
25:00
The ultimate goal is just knowing, knowing that it feels
25:03
right for you. And I think we've all felt that
25:05
in certain areas. And when we practice following
25:09
it, that's when we are going to actually be able to expand it.
25:12
So let's talk about how to become incredibly intuitive.
25:15
So the first one is what I mentioned earlier.
25:17
It's regulating your nervous system and resting.
25:20
It is getting into your body and creating space to rest.
25:24
I at least a couple of times a week, I'll either go to yoga
25:27
nidra or I'll go to yin yoga because I feel like that is the
25:31
most high value thing I do almost all week because I leave
25:36
and I'm so clear. My nervous system is so
25:38
regulated. I'm so calm.
25:40
I feel great, right? My skin is glowing and any issue
25:44
I was trying to figure out is typically always figured out
25:48
because I've created the space for it, right?
25:51
If imagine you have a closet and it's full of stuff and you're
25:54
just trying to put more and more and more stuff in there.
25:57
It's very difficult. Versus if you have a clean,
25:59
empty closet, you can actually put things in and organize it.
26:03
That's what happens when we createspace in our nervous
26:06
system. We can have these ideas just
26:08
drop in so much more clearly. Like the water metaphor I gave
26:12
earlier. Also connecting into your body
26:15
because sometimes I think in modern society, a lot of people
26:18
are so in their heads and just thinking, thinking, thinking,
26:21
thinking, thinking. And what happens is we're not
26:24
noticing those sensation and those cues that are coming from
26:26
our body. And so things like dancing,
26:30
breathing, singing, EFT, tapping, meditation, walking on
26:35
the beach and feeling the sand in your feet or feeling the sun
26:39
on your skin and just laying in the sun like a cat.
26:42
All of those things are going to allow you to reconnect with
26:45
those sensations in your of your body and actually practice
26:48
reconnecting to your body so you can notice when your body is
26:51
giving you clues and signals and information, right?
26:55
Our body is so insanely powerful, so rest and connection
26:59
to your body is the first one regulating into receptivity.
27:03
So in one of my courses I talk about the parasympathetic and
27:07
the sympathetic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system
27:10
is your fight or flight. It's that more beta brain wave.
27:13
The parasympathetic is that calmer nervous system, right?
27:17
It's the alpha Theta brain wave states.
27:19
And I refer to this as the receptive mode.
27:22
It's when you are receptive to those intuitions, those insights
27:26
from the universe and when we practice being in that, that
27:29
state, which I believe the subconscious reprogramming work
27:33
is essential for that. Reprogramming those old beliefs
27:36
is essential for that, which that's what I do in my
27:38
community, but also having daily practices.
27:42
And I have two episodes all on the nervous system a little bit
27:45
ago that you can listen to more about this if you feel like you
27:48
need to regulate your nervous system.
27:49
But heart centered breathing, right?
27:51
Slowing down, connecting to our bodies, spending time in nature,
27:55
being quiet, not always having a podcast when you go on a walk,
27:59
actually being present with yourself.
28:01
And if that scares you, that's something to look at.
28:05
But regulation allows us to be more receptive.
28:09
Another thing to also notice is that intuition is not always
28:12
going to be dramatic and it's not always going to be this
28:15
crystal clear sign. It's typically going to require
28:19
a little bit of faith or a lot of bit of faith and trust.
28:23
It's not always going to be this like flashing neon sign.
28:27
This is what you need to do next.
28:28
If that's what you're looking for.
28:30
You're going to delay your journey.
28:31
We want to actually notice that intuition is typically subtle.
28:35
It's this quiet pull, this repeated thought of, I keep
28:38
feeling like doing that and it just sounds fun and I want to do
28:41
it right. It doesn't have to make any
28:44
logical sense. Like Steve Jobs calligraphy
28:47
class. It didn't make any logical
28:49
sense. He was just interested in it.
28:52
It can just feel like a yes in your body.
28:54
So stop looking for that dramatic signal and start
28:57
noticing those more subtle clear signals because I promise you
29:02
when you learn to follow this, your whole life is going to open
29:05
up. Watch out because it's going to
29:07
be pretty exciting. So the another thing, and this
29:11
is I think really important for no matter where you are on your
29:14
intuition journey is just practicing with low stakes
29:17
decisions. I'm always making low stakes
29:20
decisions based on my intuition because I want to keep growing
29:23
it because I know the payoff is gigantic.
29:26
So maybe it's what coffee shop for you to go work at one just
29:31
intuitively feels a little bit better, even though it's a
29:33
little further away, or what to eat or what to post on social
29:37
media or where you're going to exercise that day.
29:42
Just letting these small decisions be guided by noticing
29:46
how it feels in your body and if it feels expansive and exciting.
29:50
The more of those little little steps that you take, the more
29:53
and more that you're going to really trust in your intuition.
29:55
Another big one I have for you is to observe your own energy.
30:00
So notice when your energy expands or when your energy
30:03
contracts. Notice what types of people,
30:07
what types of environments, what types of conversations, what
30:10
types of work. Because a lot of people come to
30:13
me and they're like, I have no idea what my purpose is.
30:15
I have no idea what I want to do.
30:17
And that's typically not the truth.
30:20
The truth is that typically it's that they're disconnected from
30:23
what actually feels true for them.
30:25
They're clogged up by stories and limiting beliefs and
30:28
subconscious programs, and they can't actually hear the truth.
30:32
Because I believe your soul always knows and it's always
30:35
communicating that with you. And it might not communicate the
30:38
whole path. It might be a step of the path,
30:40
but we struggle to receive it. We struggle to be clear on it,
30:44
so practice being a scientist with yourself and observing your
30:48
energy. And then the final piece I have
30:51
for you is acting on that advice.
30:53
Your intuition will not grow if you're sitting on the couch and
30:57
never acting on it. You have to actually take the
31:00
risks in order to experience the benefits of it for your life to
31:04
keep expanding and expanding. OI hope this was so helpful for
31:09
you and that you got a lot of insight and information and I
31:12
will see you in the next episode.
