How Intuition Can Save Your A#%

“This article is about how intuition works in everyday life — how it keeps you safe, guides your choices, and helps you navigate real-world situations.”

One of the most useful things about having a highly functioning intuition is that it helps us to identify where to go, what to avoid, and when to have certain experiences. A person who is in touch with theirs is regularly drawn towards people, places, and things that are going to help them feel fulfilled and to achieve their goals. So too are they able to recognize situations that are going to go downhill, are not safe, or are not in their best interests. Their intuition helps them ‘feel’ or ‘know’ things that sometimes, they may not even have words for. Intuition keeps you alive, can get you to the right place at the right time, and can also help you excel at your chosen field.

Not just a party trick. Intuition is for everyday life.

Learning to work with your intuition is one of the most positive and powerful things a person can do. On the other hand, as many can attest, a ‘broken’ or untrained intuition can be hard to understand. In fact, an untrained or broken intuition can be a serious cause of distress. The good news here is that fixing that is not that difficult. It just takes a little effort!

Developing your intuitive senses is very similar to getting in shape. As anyone who has had a fitness journey knows, you start slowly to get your foundations and through doing that, build strength. The same goes with intuitive development. Learning to develop yours in a grounded way and with focus helps you hone the skill in functional ways. This is an article about how useful intuitive skills are in everyday life. It gives a little insight on how to build yours up.

Everyone is Intuitive: Learning to Work with Yours Can Make You Excellent

Though intuition is often treated as a party trick or something that ‘spiritual’ people use, it is something that each of us has. It is one of the advanced human senses. Sometimes referred to as ‘instincts’ or the ‘ability to react’, intuition is found everywhere from the spiritual world to art to people who are skilled in combat to parenting to sports. I have trained people from all backgrounds.  How you work with yours has to do with who you are and your interests. In the case of athletes, their ability to ‘anticipate what is next’ and to just react to it without thinking is part of what makes them excellent.

Have you ever had a moment where you ‘just knew’ something and thought – wow. I wish I could tap into this for everyday life? This is your official notification that you absolutely can do this.  The ‘trick’ to it, if there were one, is having discipline and patience. Just like any complex skill you have learned like driving, how to do a medical procedure, or how to apply a theory; you have to begin with a baseline and build up.  

The best way to develop your intuition begins first with strengthening your energy body and healing your auric field. This will help you filter out some of the things I am about to talk to you about in the next paragraph. I also recommend that you strengthen your physical body + energy body relationship. This allows you to become more ‘automatic’ with your ability to sense things with your intuition and to comprehend your own messages to yourself. I teach a specific, highly impactful method of how to do this at IndiCrow Academy (I recommend the course linked in the last paragraph. It is build to do all of this with you.)

Wait……safety?

The Dark Side of Intuition

One of the harder bits of intuitive development (or lack thereof) is that what you are ‘sensing’ and how it is ‘communicating’ to you is not always safe or accurate. In fact, there are beings and energy streams that make it their business to astrally trick people. Though it is often a thought put ‘out of sight, out of mind’, there is an astral world, there are different realms, and there are different forms of beings. Not all of those realms, beings, or bits of the astral world are friendly or positive.In fact, the astrals are often crazy. Without the ability to direct your focus and intention, it is VERY easy to get yourself into connection with dangerous entities.

People who have untrained intuitions and ‘open’ energy bodies tend to ‘pick up’ or ‘hear’ the lower harmonic beings, realms, and realities. They receive ‘guidance’ from what they think is their inner-voice, they have feelings that they cannot explain that they mistake as ‘theirs’ (that can lead them down into some rotten reactions), and sometimes they have ‘visits’ from beings who are there to ‘help them’ who actually are not. They may ‘meet’ these beings or hear their voices because their senses are ‘open’. They are not able to tell whether these beings mean them well or to know if it is their own intuition or not.

• You have probably heard people lament that they wished they could trust their intuition ‘more’ but that it leads them ‘astray’. Hearing these voices and mistaking them for your own is part of how that happens.

This all sounds a bit creepy, I know. Why not just keep this a pleasant, happy article? The truth is, the tricksters and jokesters are a very real part of our metaphysical world. It is irresponsible not to tell you that this happens. Though the contemporary mainstream spiritual community does not place much emphasis on learning to develop your intuition safely, the ‘dark side’ bits are extremely common.

One of the very best ways that having a strong intuitive connection can help save your  a#$ is stopping you from falling prey to these pretender voices. When you have a close relationship with your inner-voice, even the best ‘fakes’ and chaos beings cannot fool you. You know how to identify that is what you are hearing and how not to believe it is yourself. That is one of the most empowering, emancipating thing a person can do.

Going for an Intuitive Walk: How Intuition Brings You to Good things and Steers You from Danger

Just like any skill or sense you would like to develop, practice is necessary. The more that you give yourself the opportunity to build this muscle, the more powerful it will be. Though it may seem ‘automatic’ for you to hear things, it can take real discipline to learn to filter the noise out. On the other hand, you may need to really work at being able to ‘hear’ or ‘sense’ your intuition.  Everyone is different. Do your best not to judge yourself and stay safe as you do this!

This is a little anecdote about how one of my practice sessions went.

(Yes, I STILL practice every-day.)

As noted above, the best practice for intuitive connection is to have a strong energy body physical body connection. For that reason, I begin my practices with an alignment activity. After doing a little energy alignment in my energy pillar and setting the intention to have the highest harmonic walk experience possible, I set out on the road.

At one point in the walk on the day this example is about, there was the choice was to turn left onto one street or walk another block up and then go left.

After a few steps down the first street, I felt a very distinct pull not to go in that direction. It felt like a hand pulling me back and there was a strong feeling in my energy body ‘not to do that’. Trusting my intuition, I went back to the main road. Looking back down the sidewalk I had just left, I saw a van swinging out that was CLEARLY not paying attention and guess where they were? Right about where the steps would have taken me.

*Ok, missed the van!*

Turning down the next left, I get about a third down the street. Then, what appears but two dogs running loose. A beautiful golden retriever and a little yorkie! Clearly friends and cared for, it was obvious they had busted out of their yard. As any animal lover would, I went to business identifying where they came from. As so many dogs do, they led me to their house. I was able to find their open fence, corral them to their door, and return them to their Mom. She told me I did that at almost the precise moment that she noticed they were lost. They were really cute dogs.

The Point: On this very short 45 minute walk, the good old intuition kicked in 2 times to do 2 beneficial things: 1) Kept me away from the van and 2) Helped me get those dogs back home. I currently live in Baltimore. These skills have also kept me inside during shootings happening in my neighbourhood  and off of blocks where things kicked off (see image below). Not all of us live in pretty, nice places. Intuition does a whole other level of A$% saving for us.

Build up your intuitive skills in a safe, impactful manner:

As noted above, I recommend building your intuition in layers. In my world, the best way to develop your intuition begins first with strengthening your energy body and healing your auric field. Once you have secured your field, you learn to hear yourself with reliability.

I teach this at my school.

Remember: Intuitive skills are not party tricks. They are for everyday life.  The new paradigm is all about working with these senses in the way Creator intended.
