Awwww, Kasey ... thanks so much for dropping in and for your kind congratulations on my new pub!!
About tips to tap into your intuition - I think probably the best ones are these:
Sit quietly - meditating, prayer time, whatever you can do to just sit in silence and make sure you won't be interrupted. Phone off or on silent and in another room. Give yourself plenty of time to do this so you don't feel rushed.
Ask your question, if you have one. Or just "what do I need to know?" or "what do I need to know about (this situation)?" etc.
You might not get an answer right away. Might come an hour or three days later - but just be open to receiving the answer.
After you ask your question, just sit in silence, eyes closed, focusing on your breath.
When an answer comes and you're not sure if it's intuition or your inner critic, sit for a while. See how it feels. The inner critic is ultimately going to make you feel bad. Your intuition is going to make you feel good - or stronger - or certain.
Keep sitting with it for a while and see how it feels. The more you do this, the easier it'll be to figure out who's doing the talking in there!
It's hard to describe in a message. But that's about the best way I can put it.
Your intuition is always going to be about your best interests. Think about times you thought you were following that 'inner voice' and it went badly. What was that voice saying?
I'll bet that it was your inner critic, and your intuition was in there making you feel not terribly good about the decision, or giving you a nagging sense of something not being quite right. But you thought that voice in your head was your intuition. Nope. It was the inner critic, the one who puts others ahead of you. Or who makes you do the wrong thing and it hurts you.
I don't know if any of this is helpful, but please let me know how it goes!!! I'd appreciate your feedback. Might help me be able to explain better next time someone asks!
Good luck 💜
