5 Hacks To Ignite Your Intuition And Tap Into Creative Inspiration

A simple primer on how to access altered states of consciousness.

The rational, analytical mind can be a killer to creative work and solving problems.

Over the past several years, I studied various techniques from psychologists, hypnotists, intuitive coaches, and spiritual teachers on how to break out of the “thinking mind” and tap into inner wisdom. Cultivating this ability helps alleviate overthinking, quiet the monkey mind, and access creative inspiration.

Here are five quick hacks you can do any time to trigger these states of being.

1. Rub your hands together rapidly for 2 minutes.

Create a “fireball” in your hands and focus on the tingling and warming sensations. Breathe consciously, and surrender to this feeling, and allow your subconscious mind to take over.

2. Find one object in the room and focus all your attention on it.

Pick something relatively uninteresting and heighten all your mental energy on this object. Becoming extremely present is a springboard to higher intelligence. Tip: try this by focusing on a candle flame.

3. Breathe as if you are blowing out candles for 1 minute.

In many ancient traditions, the breath is a little piece of infinite intelligence flowing through us and giving us life. This form of “fire breath” triggers an altered state of consciousness, which activates your intuition.

4. Open your mouth wide until you hear your ears click.

It might feel uncomfortable at first, but when you push through the discomfort of extending your jaw, you activate your throat chakra. The throat chakra governs self-expression, communication listening, and creative ideas.

5. Brief, intense workouts (Nitric Oxide micro workout)

Nitric Oxide is the brain’s intensity powerhouse molecule. It is linked to focused states of intensity in mind and body. Performing a brief high-intensity workout followed by mindful breathing is a quick way to heighten intuitive power.
