INTRODUCTION

We all have intuition, whether or not we are conscious of it.

When I wake up in the morning and reach for my alarm clock every day, I dont marvel that I have a hand that knows how to press the snooze buttonbut I am aware on an instinctive level that I have a hand and that its intact and serves me.

Intuition is like this too. You know more than you realize. It is more than just instinct. It operates in the background of the mind. There are so many small decisions you make every day, all day, based on information you are sensing but dont necessarily make conscious.

If you want to go out to eat and are walking along the street contemplating which place is best, you are most likely getting a vibe of each possible option. You know on some level if the restaurant feels warm, clean, welcoming, or smells good. You can walk in and sense how the experience of eating there will be. When you arent aware of what you are sensing in the environment, intuition is still operating on the subconscious level. Often people will just say they arent feeling it, or they are getting a good or bad vibe from a place or person, and they leave it at that without going into why.

When you make the why conscious, you are accessing the subtle realm of intuition. Almost anything can be perceived when you become aware of those vibes. The word is colloquial, but it has a basis in science. In the words of Albert Einstein, Everything is vibration. Its true. That vibe you are getting is a holistic readout of energy, and as you develop and understand how to open and use your intuition to guide your life, you will be able to receive more and more information that is intuitively accurate and detailed.

How do we know when the information or vibe we are sensing is accurate? How do we know it isnt just our imagination, fear, or fantasy? How do we learn to tell the difference between receiving a true message or vision? And once we do learn and trust our intuitive gifts, what do we do with them next?

Developing your intuition is a deep journey into the nature of reality, and it is at times a painful journey to awakeningbut it is very often a magical journey as well. It is the path to true self-trust. It can bring you into greater flow and ease, synchronicity and manifestation, and sometimes it can save your life.

We live in a very uncertain world. Even if there is and has always been great change on the planet, we could argue that right now we are in a very intense time of change once again. We need to know how to trust ourselves now more than ever as societal structures, such as basic human rights and laws that have been fought for, are being challenged or erased, and the speed at which technology has altered the way we relate to each otheror donthas accelerated. Our values, as well as our environment, are under threat. As we rely more on technology and have less direct social contact, intimacy seems to be more challenging, and the resulting anxiety and loneliness are heartbreaking. In order to retain or restore our capacity to connect, we need to be open.

Opening your ability to trust yourself and read situations well, or navigate intuitively when you dont have full information, is not entertainment or a game of predictions. Training yourself to trust your intuition and read the vibration of what is going on around you helps you make wise and strategic choices in life and keeps you adaptable in times like ours. By using your intuition, you stop looking outside yourselfto authorities or news mediafor the truth, and instead you go within and know it from your own direct experience.

I will show you how.
