Have you ever experienced a “gut feeling” about something? It could be something as simple as you knew a friend would call just a few seconds before your phone lit up with their name on the screen. Or maybe you had a dream about something terrible happening to a loved one, and found out in the morning that person had been taken to the hospital over night. 

Or, maybe you have sensed that someone was behind you, and you turned around and someone was behind you. 

A walk in a poorly-lit parking lot to your car, at night, and sensing that something is amiss, isn’t just something out of a horror movie. That gut feeling can actually be your intuition, saving you. 

Or, do you find that you’ve never had that? But you’ve always wanted to? You’ve always wanted to be more in tune with your intuition?

If you have ever wondered if you have a psychic ability, or have a Clair-sense, I would start here. Everyone has intuition. Everyone. Even if you think you’ve never had a gut feeling, there has been a time in your life where you felt something that prevented you from doing something that could have been catastrophic. Maybe it was as simple as waiting an additional second before crossing a street, or pushing the gas pedal at a green light, and a car came through the intersection and you narrowly avoided being hit. “Something” made you hesitate.  

If you are curious on how to get better at listening to it, or fine tuning your intuition there’s a very simple step you can take, right now. Some of you probably already do this regularly. But this is something I do frequently:

What ever you are doing, sitting, standing, reading this on your computer or phone: what do you hear?

Is it completely quiet around you? 

Do you hear the A/C unit inside? Or maybe the hum of one outside?

Maybe you have a heater on, do you hear it?

Is your computer humming?

Can you hear people speaking? Maybe it’s faint?

Is there a landscaping crew outside? Can you hear a lawn-mower? Maybe a chainsaw?

Do you hear any animals? Pets?

How do you feel? Are you cold? Warm? 

Does anywhere on your person ache?

Does anything feel out of the ordinary to you?

Once you’ve established this base line, for yourself. Find a doorway that leads to either a hallway or another room; maybe even outside.

Walk up to the doorway (don’t go through it yet). Make note of how you feel. 

Can you feel your own heartbeat? Are you able to notice subtle movements of your own?

Has anything changed from your original observations? Sounds, have they changed? 

Once you’ve made note of any significant changes, go through the doorway.

Did you notice a shift?

Did you hear a change in sounds? Did you feel anything change on your person? 

Make a note of the changes. Any kind of change.

If you were in one room and went into another room or hallway, you should have heard a shift in sound of the air. You may have felt a change in temperature, or felt air on your skin as you walked. You may have noticed how the sounds shifted while you walked from room to room, as the sounds bounced off walls differently. 

If you moved from an interior room to an exterior room, you may have noticed how sounds “opened”, as walls disappeared. 

Bats often use echolocation, where they use sound frequencies to bounce off objects to figure out where they are in relation to things. That is kind of what this exercise accomplishes. Although you are attempting to do it while being more aware of your surroundings and how they make you feel. 

The more aware you are of how you feel in your own surroundings on a daily basis (if you continue this practice of noticing how you feel at any given moment while sitting in your space), the more likely it is that you can sense when something is off. You might be able to sense if someone has entered your space, without your knowledge. You may even be able to sense when energy has moved into your space that doesn’t belong to you, or anyone else in the room. 

It takes practice, and patience. 

Try it out and see if it makes a difference. 

Once you begin to understand your own space; your own body and how it reacts to sounds and energy around you, the more you begin to sense when subtle shifts alert your body to things happening before “something” actually happens. The frequency of the air changes in an area to make room for the energy that shifts. Your body reacts. That’s your intuition kicking in. Once you begin to realize HOW it reacts; what that feels like – you can start to utilize it. 

Have you already tried this, or something similar? Or are you already in tune with your intuition?
