How to listen to your intuition
1 — Reduce the noise
Yes! Intuition is the most subtle of messages, and it talks to you with little hints and signs. Sometimes those messages are shown to you in actual clear words, that come to you in an unexpected way, but that is less likely.
So reduce the noise, because if you are distracted, you will miss it.
You want to spend the most amount of time possible being present. — In the present moment, with what is in front of you, feeling the air on your skin and your beating heart. Away from the things that want to steal your attention — like screens.
2 — Ask for it.
Intuition isn’t going to magically show up like a time traveler from the future, telling you how to avoid a life-changing event. And most of the time, it is not going to speak to you with words.
You need to literally ask for its help, because that way, when the message comes — in the form of a synchronicity or a sign — you know what it is actually telling you. Yes! It will be the answer. But every answer needs a question in the first place.
Intuition is us being in touch with the infinite, in unity, with the universe, or God, the Self, the soul — you name it. Also, it isn’t the opposite: us being separated and dualistic. So, don’t ask dualistic questions. Don’t ask yes-or-no questions. Do not ask for this vs that.
If you have to decide between different paths, just choose one and ask: Is this the right path? If you get those synchronicities — good news! Keep going, and don’t even dare to look back, even if the path is a difficult one.
Maybe you don’t get synchronicities, but instead you get obstacles and resistance — not just inside of you, but from others and the environment. Then maybe you should consider the other way.
3 — Be Ready to Receive.
If you already asked, you must be ready to receive an answer soon. By expecting the answer, you will necessarily be more present, aware, and attentive to those signs — feeding your presence, (Step 1) and improving your chances to listen.
4 — You got it.
Congratulations! You received a sign, a synchronicity, and it felt magical, and you got all excited out of nowhere. So don’t panic — you are not going crazy. Just enjoy it, be grateful, and keep walking your path ever more secure, because you are being guided.
Keep doing it! You will feel better, joyful, accompanied by a superior force, and you will feel that life moves you with it — that living requires no effort. It does, but now you are enjoying it.
