If you doubt your ability to hear intuitive guidance, this Question & Answer episode will clear that up, revealing essential secrets to trust your intuition.

Have you ever wondered if that quiet inner nudge was really your intuition—or just your imagination running wild? You’re not alone. I hear this question all the time, and honestly, it’s one of my favorites because it opens the door to how our intuitive guidance really works.

Q: What Exactly Is Intuition?

Intuition is a quiet inner system to access your own guidance or inner wisdom. It doesn’t shout, “Turn left now!” or flash neon signs. In general, it’s more like a gentle knowing that lands in your body which is steady, calm, and quietly certain.

It might show up as a voice your hear or a vision you see. You might have a sense of knowing or something you feel in your body. These are actually the four “clairs” including clairaudient – hearing, clairvoyant – seeing, claircognizant – knowing, and clairsentient – feeling.

Now how do you know it’s not your intuition? It could be wishful thinking or anxious overthinking, when your body feels jittery and anxious. Your inner guidance expands you, and everything else constricts your energy.

Ignoring Spirit Messages

Sitting on a park bench with a guy on date #4, he was talking about all the things we could do together that summer. I was loving it thinking he was really into me. Then out of nowhere, I heard a loud clera voice saying, “You are not special to him.”

I was shocked and attrributed this to my own fears. Unfortunately, it was a warning and 100% true. I never saw him again after that day. But I didn’t listen to the loud and clear message from spirit which was really too bad, since this broke my heart.

I must say, this was a good lesson in respecting a warning message and tursting my intuition. Now, I always pay attention to the warnings I receive. Thankfully, this doesn’t happen often. But it’s a great example of how your higher self, angels, spirit guides or even your ancestors watch over and try to guide you.

Q: Is Intuition for “Spiritual People” Or Can Anyone Access It?

Everyone has intuition. Truly. It’s not for some spiritual elite club, but part of being human. Science even backs this up. Turns out women’s brains are wired for rapid, intuitive decision-making, blending logic, intuition, and emotion seamlessly.

Not only that but women have more connective tissue between the two hemispheres which is why we are naturally more intuitive than men! That’s why it’s called women’s intuition, right?

What makes the difference is practice. When you practice, you sharpen the signal and increae your skillfor getting the messages and guidance. It’s like turning up the volume on a radio station that’s been playing all along.

Q: How Do You Tell the Difference Between Intuition and Fear or Ego?

This might be easier than you think. If you ask about taking a new job, pay attention to how you feel in your body. What do you notice? Do you feel good,comfortable and at ease? That would be intuitive guidance.

Or do you have a pitt in your stomach or feel anxiety? Fear tends to be loud and stand out. Your ego overanalyzes, criticizes, and says things like “this is too good to be true.”

Intuition feels like quiet confidence. It simply offers the truth of your own inner wisdom. You can feel it in your body as peace, clarity, or grounded energy.

Q: Why Does Intuition Feel Harder as You Get Older?

Ah, midlife. You’re wiser, yes, but your brain has a lot more experience and responsibilities. You also have had more time with analyzing and using your logic. Both of these tend to muffle those subtle intuitive nudges.

No worries. Intuition never leaves you. It might get quieter until you slow down and decide to listen again. When you do that, your inner wisdom will reappear adn step up to provide the guidance  you seek, just like when you were younger.

Q: What Does Intuition Feel Like in the Body?

For many, it’s a calm certainty, gentle goosebumps, or energy rushes. Some people can tingles in their hands. It can be so subtle that you might miss it if you’re not paying full attention. The body is your tuning fork for your truth and wisdom.

It’s your job to notice how it feels to you in your body and then watch out for that occurring, letting you know it’s time to trust your intuition or messages from spirit.

Q: What about Signs from Spirit?

Signs are best usesd as a confirmation. You can ask your spirit guides for a sign of confirmation if you’re headed in the right direction. If you see that sign, then you know your in alignment with your highest good.

Spirit loves to provide you with symbols. A feather on your path, a song lyric that lands perfectly, or a sudden flash of warmth in your heart. These gifts or coincidences show up often and easily. The more you notice them, the more they appear.

I recommend choosing the sign you want to see, otherwise you might be left wondering what the sign is and never know for sure. And you don’t always have to use the same sign. Feel free to change it up. Just let your guides know what you want to see.

Q: How To Make Intuition Part of Your Daily Life?

Start small. Ask simple questions, notice the sensations that follow, and track your intuitive hits. Keep a quick journal or voice memo of what you sensed and how it turned out.

Having a track record allows you to build confidence in your inner wisdom. In addition, gratitude amplifies the energy. Be sure to thank your intuition when it gets something right (which is more often than you might think).

Over time, intuition will become your natural navigation system. You won’t have to ask, “Is this intuition because you’ll just know.
