Easy Ways to Train Intuition

As a professional intuitive, people are constantly asking me how to improve their intuition. While expanded workshops and intensives are the most helpful, if you already have too much on your plate, that may be too overwhelming and time-consuming. 

Our intuition is one of the most important and underutilized senses. Intuition is the internal alarm system that allows us to receive and process information before our physical body can perceive it with our body's five physical senses.

​I like to find ways to train my intuition that don't feel like I'm doing extra work. These things have become second nature in working with my intuitive skills. 

• Pay attention to your dreams. While not every dream is a sign, many dreams contain intuitive hints. I often store a memory from a dream away, and then it makes sense at a later time. Recording your dreams is a great practice and can also assist with dream recall. 
• Meditation and getting quiet. This is perhaps one of the most important and overlooked elements of working with intuition. When we are calm, we can hear the answers that we seek. Meditation regularly helps to calm the mind and tap into the present moment.
• Connect with nature. Nature helps us to release stagnant energy that we tend to pick up. The calming, technology-free energy of nature helps to provide a clean slate to connect with your intuition.
• Trust your gut. We are all born with innate intuitive abilities, but they start to lessen as we doubt ourselves and the information we receive. Other people's opinions often play a significant factor in doubting ourselves, clouding our energetic judgment.
• Intuit who and what they messaged before you check your phone. You know when you hear your phone buzz, and you think about who's texting and why they're bugging you? No? Me neither. See if you can pinpoint the person, the medium (text or email), and the message before you physically see your phone. 
• Intuit who has called before you check your phone. Same as above, but see if you can tell who has called you and what they've left you a message regarding before you confirm those details. 
• Play along with game shows on television. I have always loved watching classic game shows like Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, To Tell the Truth, Match Game, etc. I've turned intuiting answers into a game seeing how many correct responses I can get, even if it's a type of trivia or a game that I don't know, I know my intuition will kick in.
• Predict the score of a sports game before it starts. The more details, the more to confirm! As time goes on and your practice deepens, see if you can break down the score predictions by quarter, or inning, based on your sport! 
• Predict temperature before checking it. I can't be the only person who looks at the temperature in the morning, so I know how to dress! See if you can intuit the temperature that it is currently and the daily highs and lows! 
• Predict time before checking. Try and see if you can tell what time it is before you check your watch or cell phone. The more you practice, the closer the time will get to the actual time! 
• Predict what is in an envelope. Is it a letter? Is it an advertisement? Is it a bill? Maybe a check? See if you can identify what's in the envelope before opening it up! 
• Intuit next song on the radio or randomized playlist. Tune your energy in like a radio tuner! See if you can listen and hear the music floating through the airwaves before it hits the speaker! 
• Pay attention to signs, things that keep coming up. Repeated images, words, numbers, or phrases are often significant somehow. Signs can come to us in the strangest of ways, however, that is how it's brought to our awareness if it is out of the ordinary. 
• Track your predictions! Tracking your predictions is one of the best things you can do as a budding intuitive or psychic! How many times have you said, oh my gosh, I knew that would happen but have no proof? I've created "My Prediction Tracker," now available on Amazon so that you can keep all of your predictions together and update them as they occur!
