@Rachelle & Shane Glad the part on fear v intuition helped. It seems to be the one area that people always want to know about. I was thinking about that earlier today, as much as I enjoy helping people develop their intuition, I am way more passionate of helping them use their intuition to specifically deal with, disarm, and discern when fear is taking over. New post on that coming soon…

A wonderful post! I really connected with the clarity you brought to step #4 – Distinguish Intuition From Fear. Recognizing the now and feeling connected to how only you feel is most important. Not listening to what you perceive others have thought, are thinking or will think is a really good check-check-double check when you’re unsure of the right voice. Thanks for the clarity!

@Monick Glad to hear you’re already using your intuition. Doesn’t it make a huge difference?! Thanks for your thoughts and feedback.

Thanks for a great post … full of really useful advice on how to listen to your intuition. I do use my intuition a lot, but will be sure to incorporate some of your tips to further hone my intuition.

@Nancy Thank you! I completely understand. That’s usually how most of us learn – trial and error. Luckily though, once we get it, the same lesson doesn’t reappear and that’s when we know for sure that our intuition is our most trusted ally. Then we can start learning and letting our intuition guide us through joy rather than pain.

@Joshua Thanks also! Glad you enjoyed it. And you’re absolutely right on. Intuition is not just a special gift for women. Men & women both have it strongly. It shows up differently depending on the personality and the sex. I often call my husband the “Just in time psychic” because he always gets a clear intuitive hit, right at the moment something important is needing to be understood. Whereas I tend to see a larger picture and the dynamics in it. It’s so fascinating.

Thanks both of you for your comments.

Wonderful post, a breath of fresh air!
Intuition isn’t just for women huh? Although my wife has an uncanny sense of intuition. That little voice in my head, my gut, whatever you want to call it, is often my best navigator.

Beautiful post. Couldn’t agree more. The older I get the more I’ve beginning to listen to my intuition, which I now have realized is an invaluable “sense”. But, believe me, it’s taken a lot of not trusting my intuition incidents, which have turned out badly, to get me to begin validating its advice!

Thanks Ian! Yes, quieting the mental chatter definitely helps. I also find if I tell the chatter “Save the drama for your mama” that usually quiets it down. I go for the fun, creative, unexpected ways that my mental patterns don’t expect. It always breaks up the noise.

Great article – whenever I’ve followed my intuitions, it’s never led me astray. I think the trick is silencing the mental chatter so you can actually hear what the inner voice is saying.
