Follow these precise steps to sharpen your intuition.
what is intuition? Do I have it?
Intuition is simply our inner knowing we tend to ignore. Kids have a very sharp sense of what to do and what not to do. But societal conditioning and household rules affect how effectively this intuition is used. Most kids have learnt to not listen to their gut. And that creates resistance in their lives, causing stress and anxiety later on.
As parents, we can do two things to help our kids become more self-reliant.
1. We can help our kids learn to listen to their inner knowing or “gut”.
2. We can show them how we listen to our inner knowing to go about our daily lives.
How can I learn to tap into my intuition?
Tapping into your intuition or inner knowing can help you immensely. Our body has memory and an inner intelligence. We just need to figure out how to align our mind, body and spirit so we can easily hear what our “person” wants and needs.
There are various tools and techniques that can help you learn to tap into your intuition.
1. Meditate
Daily meditation (sitting silently and observing your breath) can help you become more aligned with your inner knowing. Meditation helps us figure out the mind chatter that does not serve us. Once we consciously decide to release the patterns (that show up in our daily lives), we can live in alignment with our higher selves.

2. Connect with nature, everyday
Daily walks in nature (even city parks) can help us feel the oneness that nature represents. Being in nature for a while can force us to feel and experience presence. And that presence brings forth opportunities to shed the identities we carry within. As we become spiritually “thinner” we are more able to tune into our authentic selves.
3. Journal right after you wake up
The moments right after you are awake are precious. At that time you probably wouldn’t have engaged with the world yet so you are more in tune with your inner self. So practice writing 2-3 pages worth of content (about your dreams, goals, plans etc.) right after you wake up and experience the magic that enfolds!

how can I use my intuition?
Everyday, we face many decisions about ourselves, our families and work. And at those times, we can try tapping into our intuition to make decisions that are aligned with our spirit.
I use my intuition to make decisions about groups I participate in, whether to send my kids back to school amidst the COVID chaos, events to attend etc.
By practicing the steps I have outlined above, you can get started with getting to know who you truly are and what your inner self is saying to you.
can I manifest what i want using my intuition?
In my opinion, manifestation of your desires and using your inner knowing go hand in hand. Without the help of your inner knowing or intuition, you would not even know what you want. So yes, once you improve your intuition and strengthen it by use daily, you will be able to become laser focused on what you want. And when we are precise about our desires, the solutions also show up in a precise way.
