Trusting our intuition will help guide us into a more positive nature. So why do many of us not use our intuition, especially when it is screaming at us to do something different than we are already doing, or about to do. Spiritual Teacher Ann Varney discusses how using her intuition had positive and negative consequences.
Many people consider intuition to be a mystical power that is inaccessible. However, this isn’t true at all! Our brains are constantly processing information that we don’t even realize and coming up with solutions before we have time to think about them. Intuition can help you make better decisions in your life if you understand how it works. In fact, we use intuitive thinking every day of our lives, and it helps us make decisions in many different situations.
Many people believe they need to see proof of things before they think about them, but sometimes the best way to know that something is accurate is from a gut feeling or instinct. This idea has been around since ancient times because humans have always trusted their instincts more than anything, but most of us have forgotten how to use and listen to it.
Science has not fully understood intuition, but some psychologists believe it arises from subconscious thoughts and feelings based on experience and knowledge that the individual doesn’t realize they possess.
Intuition is considered an assumption of truth in one’s mind about things that can be neither proved nor disproved. Scientists have studied this phenomenon for more than 200 years, trying to understand how humans develop such accurate judgments on their own without relying solely on logic or thinking ahead.
There are many documented cases where people who experienced intuitions could provide accurate information before they knew the details of events that later took place.
I know I certainly have intuitive feelings and thoughts that really do transpire at a future date. In particular, I knew I would be in Nepal with my spiritual crew in 2015. I saw myself there laughing with the Buddhist nuns and monks.
But life at that time for me was not good. I was studying for my Masters in Psychology full time. I had very little money because of the fees I was paying for my course. I had very little income coming in, and getting monetary help was an absolute joke.
But I still saw myself there, and this feeling would not leave me, even after canceling the trip months prior. About 10 days before the trip, I received a phone call stating that 2 people had backed out and sold their tickets.
Now remember I had no money, but the excitement I felt was ‘feck I am going, yippee!!’ The events that took place in a matter of hours were absolutely fantastic. I got one of the tickets at half price that I could pay back within the year, someone going to pay for my flight, and another person gave me £1000 spending money.
I was amazed that I was going, and when I was there, the massive earthquake that took thousands of lives in its destruction in 2015, more about this in ‘An Empath’s World To Freedom’. Even with this occurring, I still felt fortunate to be there.
Another time was just recently. I was out on my walk listening to a recorded live from William Whitecloud’s Create Your Destiny Program. Which he states he is giving a free place away to the value of $4k. I started laughing to myself as I saw myself on the course.
I spoke to my spiritual guides whilst I was at my special place in the forest by a beautiful waterfall. Laughing with excitement, I internally talk to my guides and ask them to help me get this free place. I come home from my walk with a deep knowing that I will be on this course and great things will come from it.
I come home, block the time off my calendar of the dates, and put an alarm on my phone to remind me of the call. Obviously, I did win the place, and there were nearly 500 eager participants on that call.
Laughingly, I know it’s nothing to do with luck. It’s to do with sixth sense and belief. Embracing our intuition alongside them. We all have it. Most people don’t know how to use it because they are in victim mode. I, too, can go into victim mode, but I see it more clearly now.
Logic is the best way to make decisions, right? Wrong. Logic has no feel for anything. It doesn’t know how you’re feeling or what your values are. This means that logical reasoning should never be used as your sole strategy for making choices! The most crucial part of deciding is understanding yourself and knowing what really matters to you in life.
Ever since Socrates, it has been the goal of philosophers and academics to make sense of why people make decisions. One theory is that we use logical reasoning when we are educated and feel-based decision making when we are not. But what does this mean? And how do these two types of thinking affect our society as a whole?
Personally, I think this is bollocks, as I am a logical, analytical thinker educated to Masters level in many areas of my life, scientifically and spiritually. Still, I am also an empathic feel-based thinker. I can sometimes be very pessimistic, especially about spirituality. I know some people will be shocked at that.
‘Hocus Pocus shit’ are the comments I’ve heard from many people. I have always been a person that needs hard factual evidence in front of me, i.e. I see it with my own eyes! Honestly, there are so many bloody charlatans out in the world that give spirituality a bad name.
One of those fascinating times when my mind was utterly blown about spirit helpers. I was a student at advanced training in shamanic studies, which is really white voodoo. I’m laughing as I write this as many of you will think of James Bond’s voodoo-practicing nemesis Baron Samedi in Live and Let Die.
This is black voodoo and very dark, whereas white voodoo is very healing, and many blessings can occur. It consists of a profound ritual of calling in the ‘lola’ (spirit) to take over someone’s body. Most participants are eager for this to happen apart from the big 6ft brute of a man, who runs out of the room shitting himself, as the proceedings start to occur because the energy in the room changes and the lights begin to flicker.
I am excited as I can feel the energy and know I am about to witness great healing. We are bathed in candlelight from the winter sky. As our teacher calls in the ‘lola’ and the first person’s body is overtaken (this person is brilliant at channeling the spirit and becoming the hollow bone – If you want to know more about the hollow bone, pop over to annvarney.com/members).
But what transpires next absolutely blows my mind as the person who has channeled the ‘lola’ starts healing the room. She looks like she is taking part in a zombie film and has excellent acting skills, but she’s not acting. This is feckin real, very real.
As she walks past me, this very intense heat omits like a beautiful healing light from her being. I explode with deep-rooted tears which have been hidden deep within my soul. Although I feel very vulnerable crying those deep wrenching tears. It is very healing at the same time.
The following person pops, and again it is like the zombie nation has taken over the room. The heat emanating from each person is like toasting marshmallows by a summer fire that everyone is laughing at but feeling deep comfort. But here, most people are profoundly bawling their eyes out.
Profound healing is taking place at a level I have never seen before. All weekend the ‘lola’ brought us great peace, and we did ritual after ritual to invite them in. We were all hugging the person who was channeling the ‘lola’ because of the intense sunshine and healing the ‘lola’ gave us.
I don’t think I was ever the same, in a good way, after that program. If I had known it was white voodoo I was going to, I don’t think I would have participated. This is because of how I and society perceived the word voodoo. But like everything in life, there is always a light and dark side, yin and yang.
What this also taught me was to trust myself more and tune in. But how do you intuitively tune into yourself without having to do white voodoo, as I know that practicing white voodoo is certainly not for our closed society yet?
The question of how to tune into oneself is a common one. Indeed, it’s the driving force behind many self-help books and seminars. But what does that really mean? Tune in as if you’re tuning your radio to find your favorite song? Play the music of an instrument until you can hear its unique sound? Tune in as if someone is speaking on another frequency that you need to adjust your dial, so they come through clearly? So many ways we might try and tune into ourselves, but which method works best and why should we bother at all with this self-tuning project anyway?
We all know how to turn on a light when we need it. We also have an innate sense of what feels right and wrong in our relationships, but many struggles to tune into themselves. The key is being aware of the signals your body is giving you to read them and do what needs to be done for yourself.
We are all experts when it comes to ourselves. When we tune in to our own senses, thoughts, feelings, and emotions, we can find the answer to any question. You will always find the answer within. When you have a problem or need guidance on an issue in your life, tune into yourself before looking for external sources of information.
Why do you need to trust yourself? You deserve the opportunity to live your best life possible. Self-trust is what will get you there and keep you going, which is why it’s crucial for everyone, no matter who they are, to learn how to trust themselves and their intuition more often than not so they can tune into themselves.
And here’s the thing: we all make mistakes from time to time (it happens), but those mistakes should never stop us from trusting ourselves in the future when those gut feelings tell us something doesn’t feel right or that we’re making a decision that might not be as great as we first thought. That feeling of doubt may just be our subconscious warning us that maybe this isn’t such a good idea.
We all have that little voice inside our heads that tells us something is wrong. It’s not enough to take a gut feeling as truth, but it should indicate where to start looking for the cause.
Your intuition has always been there for you, even before you were born. When we are infants and still learning how to walk, we use our sixth sense or intuition to keep us safe from harm.
Whether it comes in the form of an automatic fear response or simply knowing when someone is lying, your instincts can help protect you against danger. Your intuition is what alerts you when something just isn’t right, whether it’s with your job or relationship or another person who may be unsafe around children.
