4 Ways to Tap Into Your Intuition

It’s almost a cliché: The telephone rings and you intuitively know who it is before answering.

Intuition often shows up this way, as a fleeting insight we’ll probably dismiss as coincidence  — or write off as “just imagination.”

But as Albert Einstein once said, “Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions.”

Experts in intuitive counseling say you can learn to develop your intuition and capture those insights to help you make decisions in your personal life — such as whether to agree to a blind date.

“Everyone has intuition. The more you acknowledge it, the stronger and more accurate it gets,” says professional spiritual and medical intuitive Marla Mitchell.

Professional intuitives use intuition to perceive information about you and provide guidance. A medical intuitive further specializes in perceiving the physical health of the body and internal systems.

A surprising number of business leaders also use intuition to help them make business decisions. In a poll conducted by PRWeek and Burson-Marsteller, the majority of the 252 CEOs surveyed said they were likely to rely on their intuition when making business decisions. It’s something to consider next time you’re debating whether to sign off on a new ad campaign or hire a candidate who sent a bland resume but knocked your socks off in the interview.

“I’ve come to accept that my own intuition is one of many skills I can call upon in my business when needed,” says Christen Resmo, president and CEO of Benchmark Coaching, a Denver-based career coaching firm.

Four ways to strengthen your intuition

“With practice, you start noticing the quiet voice within,” explains David Stevens, professional intuitive and founder of Yoga of the Mind, a meditation and intuition training service. “Some see flashes of pictures. Others have certain feelings. Some just have a pure knowingness.”

Mitchell and Stevens recommend these four techniques to help you tap into and trust your intuition.

1) Meditate

“Meditation helps you to get quiet and be in the present moment,” Mitchell explains. “The key to increasing your intuitive awareness is to stay very present. Intuition lives in the present.”

At the heart of any meditation method is the practice of quieting the mind, which can help you increase your awareness of your intuitive sense.

“Meditation creates the best access to intuition,” says Stevens, a student of meditation for over 35 years.

You can learn meditation skills in a class (Shambhala Sun magazine offers a great directory) or with ameditation instruction DVD or CD. Stevens says meditating for just 15 minutes a day can offer benefits.
