3 Signs It’s The Noise of Fear and Not The Voice of Intuition

Fear sends you into fight or flight but intuition does no such thing

1. The Voice is Loud

Intuition is an inner knowing that goes beyond conscious reasoning. It emerges as a quiet inner voice or feeling that tells us to do something, take a chance, go down a path, or accept an opportunity.

Intuition puts us in touch with our instinctive defense systems, helping us to avoid harm.

A person’s intuition tells them when it’s time to quit their job, leave a relationship, or start their own business. Intuition tells us to be careful of certain people, places, and things. It tells a person to stay at home instead of going out. It tells them to look inside a book, to turn on the TV or radio. Intuition can nudge a person to take a different route to work and it can even help us interpret dreams and other things. Intuitive mothers rely on their intuition to figure out what’s wrong with their babies and even save them from harm.

But fear has a sneaky way of disguising itself as intuition because of how loud the mental voice can become.

The mind is the biggest obstacle to developing intuition because of how loud it can get. If you are not in a place of inner stillness, it will be hard to hear that subtle voice.

Intuition is a low subtle voice. It is not loud although it can get loud when it must.

Without learning the voice of our intuition, we solely rely on the chaotic mind or external input from others, which isn’t always helpful.

Creating a sense of inner stillness, calming, and quieting the mind allows you to hear and perceive your intuition. You can do this by using deep breathing to quiet the mind and tune into the body. The more you focus on your breathing, the more you come into the body so you can hear the voice of your intuition.

The most important thing about learning the subtle voice intuition is trust. When you trust something, the bond and connection you have with that thing become stronger.

The more you can trust your intuition, the more you will hear its silent voice that drowns out the noise of fear.

2. The Voice Makes You Afraid

Fear feels heavy and dark, and it’s emotionally charged. For example, if I do or don’t do this, then something terrible will happen. That is bound to make anyone afraid.

Your intuition will never make you afraid. It doesn’t just point to what’s wrong and ends there. It does something about it.

If intuition ever makes you afraid, it will be sure to offer solutions that will help the problem. Fear on the other hand offers no solutions. It dwells on the problems and knows not what else to do.

When you hear a voice like intuition but it makes you even a bit afraid and offers no solutions or tells you what to do next, it’s just the noise of fear to ignore.

With intuition, it’s crystal clear what you need to do to solve the problem.

When you hear a voice like intuition but it makes you even a bit afraid, it is just the noise of fear.

3. The Voice Paralyzes You

Fear is vague and doesn’t really tell you what to do other than making you fearful, frustrated, overwhelmed, confused, or anxious. It makes you worry and keeps you in the prison of the mind.

Fear makes you feel so many negative emotions that it is impossible to relax. When you’re afraid and therefore not relaxed, your sympathetic nervous system is activated which sends you into a fight or flight.

The one who is fearfully running from a hungry lion in the forest has no time to sit and tune into their intuition. They are only worried about getting the hell out of there. It’s a fight or flight and they choose to flee.

Fear sends you into fight or flight and at other times, it paralyzes you so you can’t move a muscle. It paralyzes you and leaves you on the ground but intuition does no such thing.

With intuition, you are given the help you need which activates your parasympathetic nervous system and sends you into a state of flow so there’s no need to fight or flight
