Dear Susan,
Thanks for asking this question! I think sometimes it's important to go back to review the basics for everyone who reads this newsletter.
You can view a quick response here. I taught an intuition development class earlier this year in Tokyo and answered this question via video in a beautiful Japanese garden.
Here are 7 tips for listening to and acting on your fabulous inner wisdom:
1) Intuition Comes in Many Forms
There's no ONE way that's the right way to receive intuitive wisdom. It may come in different forms depending on your situation. Begin to pay attention to your feelings. What do they say about the decision or issue you're facing? You might receive an image or symbolic picture that represents an answer to your concern. Dreams, hunches, knowings, gut feelings and other physical sensations are also giving you messages. Try practicing in some low-risk situations at first. As you mentioned, you may feel like you're making it up at first. Intuition is like any skill, the more you use it, the stronger it will become!
2) Move Towards Your Enthusiasm
The word "enthusiasm" originates from the Greek root, entheos. It means, "God within" or "guidance within." What are you curious about? What excites you? What do you want to do more of? What comes easily to you? These are critical clues from your intuition about the right endeavors to pursue.
3) Intuition is Your Inner GPS
I'm a big believer in the idea that what we focus on, we attract into our lives.When you're clear what you want, your intuition will give you nudges, messages, and ideas about the right direction to follow to achieve these goals. Spend time writing about what you want. Create a vision board.
Expand your ideas. Your intuition acts as your inner GPS and will show you the quickest route to where you want to go in life.
