4 Ways To Heighten Your Intuition And Cultivate Your Ability To Tap Into Wisdom
The Universe speaks. Are you listening?
The Universe speaks.
As the source of intelligence that binds all of creation together, its language is symbolic, and our intuition is the translator. Everything we are presented with in our physical experience, whether it’s logical and tangible or absurd and abstract — has meaning!
The Universe’s primary goal is always to keep expanding to higher levels of consciousness.
That means it will always provide you with exactly what you need for you to continue to expand and grow at this particular moment, at this particular time. But if you aren’t ready to receive its guidance — you won’t.
Below are four ways to heighten your intuition and cultivate your capacity to tap into the wisdom from this infinite life force that permeates through each of us.
1. Zero in on the subtleties of your experience.
Wisdom from the Universe more often than not comes subtly. It’s rarely the Buddha showing up in your living room. Instead, it’s a ladybug crawling on your foot. When something different or unexpected appears in an otherwise familiar situation, pay attention and don’t dismiss it. There is something greater to be understood, no matter how small it is. Here are some examples:
- Random encounters.
- Losing or misplacing a possession.
- Inconveniences in your daily routine or work.
- Something breaking or stops working as expected.
2. Pay attention to your emotions.
Emotions are your unconscious mind’s way of telling you that something is going on in your life you need to pay closer attention to. This includes both unpleasant and unpleasant experiences — and specifically bouts of suffering. In his poem, The Guest House, the mystic poet Rumi tells us to welcome every pain and sadness into our experience as a cherished house guest.
Everything we feel and experience viscerally is a data point from our intuition and a signpost for growth from the Universe.
3. Listen to your body.
Intuition speaks through feelings. This means we must learn to listen to the energy in our body instead of just words and sounds. The body constantly communicates with us — whether through basic physical sensations, injury, or illness, the body has innate wisdom.
You can start hearing this wisdom from your body more clearly, by eating healthier and cutting out all toxins from your diet.
4. Take risks.
We usually ignore our intuition because when the Universe speaks, it’s inviting us to do something out of our comfort zone. When it does, our ego leaps in to protect us and bypasses all possibilities for guidance. To become available to receive anything new and worthwhile in life, we must be willing to do something we are not used to doing.
Leaning into your fears is one the quickest ways to summon support from the Universe to help you achieve your goals.
Bottom line
We live in a Universe of serendipity and synchronicity. However, nothing is ever truly random and there is always insight and information to be extracted from everything if we become receptive.
The Universe has your back. Let it take you by the hand.
