Previously, I shared information about intuition. Here, I detail methods to fine-tune, brighten and deepen your intuition. A very quick method, that is in intuition and beyond by Sharon A. Klingler, is to think of a question and have an internal image of traffic lights and seeing whether you get red for stop, green for go for it or yellow for wait. You may, however, need to just ask yourself what colour is the light if you are not very visual and you may find it easier to just note how you feel – some of us get gut feelings more than anything else. Sharon clarifies:
“Questions Not To Ask
1. When starting to work with your intuition, don’t ask ambiguous questions that can be answered in conflicting ways (especially ‘either/or’ inquiries.)
2. Try not to ask any ‘shoulds’. The question, ‘Should I move?’ could be influenced by financial restraints or any number of obligations. If you are seeking to remove the ‘shoulds’ from your vocabulary, don’t use them when you’re speaking with your intuition!
3. Don’t restrict yourself to asking merely about the choices you are already considering. There are always more options, and your spirit is capable of knowing a great deal more than you might think [….] After you have asked about each of your known options individually, ask your intuition to show you any choices you may have not yet considered.
4. Stay away from any questions with broad-brush outcomes. For instance, ‘Will I be rich?’ is entirely dependent upon what that state of being means to you at any given time.
5. Don’t focus only on the material outcomes. Your spirit wants to take you to the highest experiences of your truth, but it can’t take you there if you’re only looking for the closest parking space and best retirement package. Ask your intuition, ‘What can I learn from this situation’? or ‘How can I make my world better today?’ These types of questions will truly make your life richer by helping you discover your power, your purpose and the action you need to take to realise both.
Now That You’ve Got The Questions, How Do You Get The Answers?
Answers and messages from your inner guidance can appear in many various ways:
1. Sudden, spontaneous knowing or gut feelings can grab you right out of the blue.
2. Singularly focused, often nagging thoughts that may stick around for hours, days or even weeks – until you start listening to them!
3. Physical sensations can include hairs standing up on the back of your neck, goose bumps, nervousness, butterflies or tightness in the stomach, and dry mouth.
4. Subtle, undefined feelings of anticipation
5. Symbols that appear in dreams, meditations and visualisations that come of their own accord, or symbols you choose consciously as focusing tools.
6. Symbols and objects that you notice around you in the environment which act as figurative or literal signs, especially when they are repetitive or seem to have a pattern. When my husband was young, he went through a period of several weeks seeing boats all around him. He then decided to build his first boat. After that, the only boat he seemed to notice was the one he was building in his garage! Noticing what’s around you and paying attention to what distracts you are important components in experiencing your intuition
7. Synchronicity in meetings, observations, actions and events is a sign that there is no such thing as coincidence!
Tips For Asking and Answering
1. Release doubt. Always trust everything you get, and always trust the way that you get it.
2. GO DEEP!
3. Embrace your intuitive experience even if you don’t comprehend it
4. You can get the answers without knowing the answers!
5. Get to know your own style of seeing inside.
6. Keep practising
7. Diversify your practice.
8. Wake up to the details
9. Notice what is calling your attention inside and out.
10. Live in a state of curiosity!
11. Ask and Answer
12. Be willing to release your agenda and go where it may be difficult to go.
Always Seek Knowing!”
