If you want to develop your intuition, you have to learn to trust yourself. What if you began to tune into your body and notice how you feel when something big comes up? When faced with an obstacle, invitation or opportunity, check in with how you feel. Your first instinct will almost always be true for you. Your natural intuitive powers already shape your personal decisions, relationships, and career. Learn to trust their loving guidance and you will step into a life- style rich with creativity and spiritual energy.
“I feel there are two people inside me - me and my intuition. If I go against her, she’ll screw me every time, and if I follow her, we get along quite nicely.” - Kim Basinger
Here are some tips to help you develop and use your intuition as your guide.
1. Journal 2. Meditate 3. Symbols and metaphors 4. Making decisions
Journal
As a transformational coach and writer I’ve honed my intuitive skills by remaining curious and giving them time to bubble to the surface and flow on the pages of my journal. In the Transformation Goddess pro- gram, I ask participants to find a quiet space, light a candle and settle in. When relaxed and ready they are in- structed to ask their inner-Goddess: What it is that they most need to understand about themselves and the world right now. The goal is to write the answer in their journal without correction, judgment or edification. What comes up is a valuable message from their inner-wisdom.
Meditation
Mediation is a great way to clear the clutter from your mind while open- ing the door to your inner-voice. Sit. Breathe. Empty your mind. Even a few minutes each day will make a positive impact on your life. Create some time to be still and notice what comes up for you.
Symbols and Metaphors
Sometimes your intuition will show up in the form of symbols or numbers or repetitive metaphors. Lately I’ve been impatient about growing Transformation Goddess. My small voice reminded me that I was in the phase of creating a healthy container (community) for tender seedlings (Goddesses). The next day I was gifted tiny basil plants from a friend. Later I pulled an oracle card that impressed on me the power of patience through observing nature. Everywhere I turned I was invited to be patient and continue caring for my new garden.

Making Decisions
When making a monumental deci- sion, pay close attention to how you feel and what you need. Over analyzing every decision in your life can create confusion and mental pa- ralysis. If you don’t trust yourself, you may spend endless amounts of time looking for external data to support your decision.
Get quiet before bed and ask for guidance from your inner know- ing. Release your question to the universe and then sleep on it. When you wake up in the morning, check in and see what comes up for you. You will find that you already know what to do!
Intuition is available to you when you learn to let go, trust and surrender. Notice how you feel when you make a choice based on instinct. Give yourself permission to NOT explain why or why not. The feeling in your heart is telling enough. When you choose to tune in to your intuition, you will tap into a wellspring of power within. You deserve to step into your intuitive power and listen to your voice.
Trust yourself.
