Intuition is a unique and powerful ability that we all possess, but the speed at which it opens up can vary greatly from person to person. In this blog, I'll share my own journey of going from a complete skeptic to a professional medium, and provide insights on the key factors that can speed up or slow down the development of your intuitive abilities.
When I was 32 years old, I had a profound experience that shook the foundations of my skeptical, logical worldview. My grandmother, who had recently passed away, appeared to me in my apartment - solid and undeniable. This unexpected encounter left me feeling frightened and unsure, but also curious to explore this new realm of intuition and the spiritual world.
Over the next few months, I began experimenting with different techniques, like using a pendulum and meditation, to try and connect with my intuition. It wasn't an easy or fast process, and I often felt impatient, wanting to see results quickly. But I soon learned that intuition doesn't work like a light switch - it's a gradual unfolding, unique to each individual.
Through my own journey and years of teaching intuitive development, I've identified several key factors that can either speed up or slow down the process of opening up to your intuition:
Your focus and perspective play a crucial role. Having a wider, more observational viewpoint allows your intuition to flow more freely, as you're able to receive and process more information. Conversely, a narrow, laser-focused perspective can block intuitive messages.
Intuition doesn't respond well to impatience or self-doubt. It's important to give yourself small windows of time - just 2-3 minutes - to fully trust in your abilities and let your intuitive channel open up. Cultivating patience and faith in yourself is key.
The state of being you're in when trying to access your intuition can greatly impact the results. A relaxed, curious, and playful mindset is much more conducive to intuitive messages than a frustrated, analytical one. Approach your intuitive development with a sense of wonder and excitement.
Ultimately, the speed at which your intuition opens up is unique to you. It may happen quickly for some, or take more time for others. The most important thing is to be patient with yourself, trust the process, and experiment with different techniques to find what works best for you.
Remember, intuition is not a "gift" reserved for a select few - it's an innate ability we all possess. By addressing the key factors that impact its development, you can unlock your own intuitive potential and begin to receive the guidance and insights that are waiting for you.
So take those small steps, be curious, and have faith in yourself. Your intuition is ready to open up - all you have to do is create the space for it to flourish.
