This course is a guided framework to help you explore your own intuitive gifts and abilities. It’s all about getting out of your own way, connecting to your inner experience and getting to know your own intuitive process.

Everyone has their own intuitive language. Just like a chef might be super sensitive to flavour and smell while a decorator might natu…

The work we are doing in this course is mostly inner work, so you won’t need much in the way of supplies. However, there are a few things you’ll want to have on-hand:

Journal

• Choose a system to record your progress and reflections. This could be journal, binder, computer document, etc. Use whatever feels best to you.

Voice Recorder/Voice-to-Text App

As you work through this course, you are going to experience resistance. Everyone does.

Resistance is the desire to avoid something. It comes up because we want to stay where we are. We don’t want to step into the unfamiliar. Resistance comes up even when – and perhaps especially when – something is very good for us in a way that scares us or that will c…

The first step in Intuitive Practice is to Relax. Relaxation puts us in a receptive state where we are able to connect to our intuition. We relax so that we can be open to what comes.

You probably already know how you feel about relaxing. For some people it’s easy, while for others it’s more of a challenge. When you do allow yourself to relax, you probably have your own favourite ways. Maybe you like to meditate or watch TV, drink a cup of tea or take a bath.

When we talk about relaxing in the context of intuitive practice, we mean something very specific. It’s not about chilling on the couch and turning off your brain. It’s more about letting go of trying to control our mind and circumstances and entering a state of open receptivity.

Intuition works best when we simply allow what comes to us to come without trying or straining. When we relax as an intuitive practice, we don’t “shut off the brain” or “numb ourselves.” Instead we simply stop “trying” and “doing” and just allow.

Today we will try some simple techniques for relaxation.

EXERCISES

1. Choose your Intuition Journal
If you haven’t already found a place to record your progress through this course, do that now.
You can use a journal, notebook, or document file, or whatever feels best to you. It can be a separate journal or integrated into something you already use. The important thing is to choose something you like and will enjoy using.

2. Complete the Relaxation Meditation (11 min).

QUESTIONS FOR REFLECTION:

NOTE: Throughout this course, I will give journal prompts and make suggestions about what to record in the “QUESTIONS FOR REFLECTION” section of each lesson. How much you write is up to you. If you find journaling helpful you may want to make time to reflect in-depth on a daily or weekly basis. If you only have time to jot down point-form answers and notes on your progress and experiences, that’s fine too. This course is all about feeling out what feels right to you.

Answer the following questions in your Intuition Journal.

1. How do you feel about relaxing?

2. What do you like to do to relax?

3. How did you feel during the Relaxation Meditation?

4. How did you feel after the Relaxation Meditation?

You might wonder which feelings, thoughts, images, etc are coming from your intuition? The answer is that, in practice, you don’t have to know – at least not right away. Instead you simply notice whatever you notice. You will discover how your intuition speaks to you, simply by tuning in and noticing what comes.

The beautiful thing about intuition is tha…

When it comes to how to interpret the images and sensations intuition sends up to the conscious mind, the best approach is always “do not interpret.”

But intuition is exciting because it gives us insight, right? Surely we want to understand what the feelings mean?

Of course we do.

The problem with the word “interpret” is that it suggests translation. It le…

The next step in the process is finding the right, most precise words to describe your experience. It’s not about trying to sound proper or cool or eloquent or describing things the way that you think they “should” be described.

We practice describing because describing helps the intuitive process to flow. You might think that you would only need to expl…

Energetic and intuitive work can be exhausting. You might think “But I just sat there?! How can that possibly make me tired?” But when you work with energy, practice intuitive discernment or do breathwork, you aren’t really “just sitting there.” You are working. You are learning new skills and you are processing a lot.
Learning anything new is draining. …

The first and most important tool we have is breath. Breath is as foundational to intuitive practice as it is to living.

Breathwork grounds us into the body and teaches us to flow with natural rhythms. It modulates our experience and our energy. The more time you spend meditating with your breath, the more easily you will flow with your intuition and the…

Today we turn our attention to attention itself.

We tend to think of attention as the state of holding something in mind. Attention wanders or stays on track. We pay attention when we are focused and don’t pay attention when we are unfocused. But in intuitive practice, attention is more all-encompassing than this. Attention is the shape of our awareness.…

Focus is the directed form of Attention. In the previous lesson, we explored the idea of attention as the shape of awareness. Focus is the act of directing or consciously shaping that space.

Up until now most of our practice has been about relaxing, noticing, and trying to let go of controlling the inner experience. Today you get to take control, but it’…

Today we introduce a third idea closely related to Attention and Focus. Awareness is another way of shaping or orienting our attention.

Awareness is a state of heightened general perception. Unlike the act of focusing, when we practice awareness, we are not directing our attention towards something specific. Instead, we take a receptive stance and intens…

Intention is a purpose, a design, something you are not just wanting or desiring, but actually directing yourself toward. It is both the aim you seek and a method for approaching that aim.

Intuition is directed via intention. When you work with intuition it is so important to simply relax and notice. Intention is a gentle way of setting a direction for y…

The dictionary definition of intuition is “any information with unseen origins.” This means that intuition information is unlike something you see or feel with your five physical senses or something that you logically work out by laying out all the steps. You can examine the origins and path of those processes. With intuition, by definition, you do not …

Up until now, we have focused on the how of Intuitive Practice: relaxing and noticing. This week we turn our attention to what we notice. The building blocks are the feelings and experiences that make up our intuitive language.

We can think of intuition as an inner language that communicates through anything and everything we feel and sense. Your inner l…

Sensation is the sensory information that comes through your five senses. Since intuition communicates through all the little sensations and feelings you perceive, it is a key part of your intuitive language.

We are all familiar with our senses giving us information about the physical world around us. Through our senses, we can determine if a room is wel…
