Your intuition is already there, always was and always will be. When we don’t actively use it, we come to rely mostly logical thinking. And that deprives us of wisdom, insight and growth. There are so many tools we can use to ignite our innate psychic. But the absolute best tool is you and your body.
Did you know you have a six-pack in your abdominal core? Sure, most of us can’t see the chiseled cuts but the muscles are there, deep insides, sometimes buried under layers of fat. But they are there. This is similar to how our intuition works. It is there, but sometimes buried under, logic, fear, lack of use, and myth.
Once a decision is made to actively re-use your intuition--your all knowing source of truth—you will experience your life change in extraordinary ways.
If intuition is used in every area of your life-you CAN have the life you were meant to live. One of joy, laughter, incredible challenge-solving abilities, abundance, and love of self and others. The best strategy is to learn as much as you can about the process. Discover how others are using their intuition actively and learn which tools are available for you to use to re-ignite your intuition.
Your Starting Point the Exploration of Traditional External Tools

This is why it is important do research on the process and to create boundaries of protection. It is essential that you know you are the boss in choosing how much you want to use these tools.
While exploring your intuition, the line between ordinary living and the invisible world often blurs. There is an intermingling of information from sources which may be unfamiliar. So of course before engaging in a new venture, check with a professional to ensure you are physically, mentally and emotionally healthy. This is important because often your senses begin to expand and you may begin to see, hear, feel, smell and taste things that are unexplainable by ordinary means. This can be both exciting and frightening so if you know more or less what to expect the process is enjoyable.

Your Best Psychic Tool, Using Your Body
Believe it or not, your best tool is your body and the use your natural senses. It matters not whether your vision or any other physical senses are perfect. What does matter is that you use what you do have as mindfully, carefully, and as consciously as possible.
You begin by paying attention to what is inside of you including your breath, your thoughts, your body’s mechanics, its normal processes like eating, sleeping, sexual desires, movements, etc. You also become aware of your body's pains, aches, twitches and defenses. Paying attention to your body is a core starting point and you can expect to spend your lifetime in this exciting venture. Re-familiarizing yourself with your internal workings.
This is very important because we live in an interconnected social world. We work, play, live, travel with countless of people and animals. How do you know what your feeling comes from you or your surroundings? That's why it is so important to take care and ground yourself on the regular basis. Grounding can be as simple as breathing, getting enough rest, eating, making quiet time for yourself (yes it is possible) playing and laughing among other simple strategies.
Once you are grounded you can better discern what comes from you versus others. You can use this wherever you go to understand your world better. This is particularly essential your well being if you happen to be sensitive. As a psychic whose special sense is being an empath, I know my body. On a particular social event recently I was feeling good, I ate well, got enough rest, felt relatively relaxed. At some point I was introduced to someone, shook her hand and quickly became ill. I knew this person did NOT like me at all. I felt a rush of feelings of anger, jealousy, and annoyance. I had experienced this enough to know those were not MY feelings but her feelings towards me. Luckily, we didn't spend too much time near each other at this event and quickly became my normal self.
Another example of when my body told me who to avoid occurred at another event. I saw a woman and instantly had a reaction of my stomach hurting, nausea and anxiety. I saw her a few other times and had the same sinking feeling of nausea, pain and distress . It turned out she was after and did end up having an affair with the man I was dating at the time.Luckily, life equaled out and that affair didn't go where she'd hoped. Of course I am happy to say that the feelings go both ways. I meet people day after day and feel relaxed, joyful, happy, chills of light and love. I know those are people I want around me on the regular basis.
This feelings in our bodies can also relate to people, places, potential danger, and personal decisions we need to make about career, love, health or anything else in life Below are some starter questions to ask yourself and things to look out for about yourself and your body.
Special Note: Always check with your physician that you are in good general health and if any symptoms seem out of the ordinary, rule out any somatic or psychological reasons first.
- Does your breathing change suddenly?
- How about your heart rate?
- When you think about a decision and check in with your gut, or solar plexus, do you feel butterflies or sinking feeling?
