Five Tips For Developing Your Power of Intuition

Have you ever had a strong feeling that something was about to happen, and then to your surprise, it did?

That strong feeling about something that has no real logic behind it is called intuition.

There appears to be three "types" of intuition: clairvoyance, clairaudience and just plain "gut feeling."

Clairvoyance is the ability to "see" what is happening somewhere other than where you are physically at the moment.

Clairaudience is the ability to "feel through listening" such as having intense feelings when either hearing a certain sound, or by being able to "listen" between the lines.

The "gut feeling" or what we refer to as a "hunch" is basically sensing or being overwhelmed with a feeling that you really can't explain, but you can say, "I just know."

It's said that only a small number of people have been gifted with intuition. Astrologers insist that those that are born under the Pisces or Scorpio signs are naturally intuitive. But the truth is, anyone can develop intuition.

So, why would you want to develop your intuition? Intuition vastly improves communication. It allows you to be more sensitive to those around you. It also makes you much more creative and helps any artistic means of expression. And, intuition has a healing power. This is not in the physical sense, but in the energetic sense. You gain the ability to be able to deal better with negative energies.

With that being said, here are five tips to developing your intuition:

1. Think positive

A positive worry-free state will do much to improve your intuitive ability. By staying positive, you will attract positive energy to yourself that would be able to recognize feelings and events around you.

2. Meditation

Meditating means finding that positive peaceful state within you. If your mind is cluttered with too much baggage, you won't be able to quiet that part of you that is intuitive. Take a yoga class, or just learn how to practice rhythmic breathing to take you to that meditative state.

3. Just let go

Put yourself in a state of peace and quiet through thinking positive and breathing rhythmically. Then, wait for that small voice of intuition to communicate with you. That small voice will not come out unless you just let it.

4. Expect an answer

After letting go, expect an answer. But do not try to force it. If the small voice doesn't come right away, let it be alright to come when "it" wants to. Go on with your day and just stay open that the answer will come.
It may come right away, or it might take a day or more.

5. Pay close attention to your first impressions.

Most of the time, first impressions are brought by intuition. Either through your quiet meditation or just being positive, be very attentive to these first impressions. They are almost always the intuition speaking to you.

Your motivation for tapping into your intuition should be to help both yourself and others.

Intuition is very powerful and sometimes leads you to things that otherwise could not be achieved. Many lives have been saved by intuition alone. Develop your intuition and reap the many benefits.
