Listening to Your Inner Voice: A Practice in Everyday Intuition
In a world that rewards constant doing, it can feel radical to slow down and listen inward. Yet your inner voice, the intuitive wisdom that lives beneath thought, has always been there, waiting. This is the heart of intuitive therapy: learning to trust the quiet guidance within you.
Begin With Stillness
Before intuition can be heard, the body needs safety. A calm nervous system is the soil where inner knowing can take root.
Start small: feel your feet against the ground, notice your breath, or place a hand over your heart for a few steady inhales. These grounding moments reconnect your body and mind, opening the door for insight.
Notice What Expands You
Intuition doesn’t shout, it whispers through subtle sensations of ease, openness, and warmth. Begin to observe what expands you and what contracts you. A “yes” often feels light; a “no” feels heavy.
This is one of the guiding principles in mindfulness-based counseling: the wisdom of your body is often more honest than your thoughts. When you start to honor those sensations, decision-making becomes more peaceful and aligned.
Build a Relationship With Your Inner Voice
Like any relationship, trust deepens with presence and time. Ask yourself daily:
“What do I need to know right now?”
Listen for the very first answer that arises before the mind begins to reason. That initial response often carries truth. Over time, this becomes a sacred practice, a dialogue between your conscious self and your deeper knowing.
