CONTENTS

Intuition is the language of the soul. Were all born aware with a profound sense of inner knowing. Its one of the greatest gifts we possess, which keeps us connected to our higher selves, the universe, and to our divine spirit. At one time or another, we will all experience flashes of intuition, especially when its vying for our attention. Its those hunches, or gentle nudges, that we so often ignore or try to wave off as being simply our imagination only to find out later that they were correct.

Ive written this book to show you the many ways in which you can develop, access, and above all, trust your intuition. Ive created 101 different ways to do so that will enable you to tap in to this vital resource one that is deep within all of us and that can be harnessed and trained. All you need is a little help to jump-start it, so you can use it in every area of your life.

These 101 lessons are fun, quick, and easy to learn. You can read one lesson every day, or several, and know that whatever lesson you choose is the one that was meant just for you. All the lessons include an affirmation or positive statement that will serve as a tool to help you harness your inner guidance.

In some of the lessons, I offer instructions on the energy centers of the body, how the physical body acts as a receiver for intuitive information, and how color affects us individually all of which contributes to the flow of intuitive energy and how we all receive information differently. Ive also included a color guide in the back of the book and a chart containing the location of the energy centers to help you benefit from the appropriate lesson.

Developing your intuitive abilities only takes a commitment to yourself, a dedication to understanding and learning how to live in partnership with your inner guidance. Enjoy each of the lessons, and have fun as you discover and develop your intuition. After all, its an unlimited resource for guidance, transformation, and self-empowerment, which you can use and share for the rest of your life.

101 Ways to
Jump-Start
Your Intuition

1 TRUST

I trust my
intuition
and myself

W ere all equipped with a complex and highly tuned inner-guidance system, which we can access and use anytime we wish. Receiving intuitive information is all about energy, and people, places, and objects are all comprised of it. Since you too are energy, you can receive and read information via your intuitive senses. So trust and give yourself permission to explore, play, and develop your intuitive ability so that you can see yourself and the world in a way you never thought possible!

2 IMAGINATION

Imagination is
the playground
of intuition

A well-developed imagination is a healthy part of your intuition. Have fun with your imagination as you expand your intuitive senses. Take a moment and imagine the perfect career, partner, home, or whatever you wish. Use all your senses! What does that feel like? Let the energy of excitement run through you. Youll begin to feel yourself smiling. Imagination is a powerful tool that could lead you to the bridge that connects you with your intuition, and the manifestation of what you truly desire.

3 BODY GUIDANCE

I acknowledge
and act upon my
bodys messages

Y ou already possess the most fundamental piece of intuitive equipment. You need look no further than your own physical body for answers. The next time youre making a decision, just pause for a moment, breathe deeply, and focus on your body. Begin to notice how its trying to talk to you. It could be a gut response, a tingle up your spine, a hunch, or an emotion. Embrace what youre feeling as your body works in partnership with your intuition.

4 SACRED SPACE

I give myself permission to visit
my sacred space as often as I wish

E veryone needs their own special place a place to think, reflect, meditate, and be alone with themselves and with Spirit. So, try to find a space that you can call your own. Feel free to create an altar with your favorite adornments, incense, candles, or even photos of spiritual figures that inspire you. By creating your own special area and using it for your quiet time, meditation, and personal development, youll find that the entire area becomes infused with positive energy as it acquires its own special feeling.
