Today, we will be sharing some practical steps for cultivating intuition. We hope this supports you in unlocking your highest potential ❤️

“Learning to discern will be the most valuable tool in your toolkit for the rest of existence.” — Jason Estes

Your Body is the Best Doctor

🩺 In today's world, we have doctor-level information at our fingertips.

📲 Whenever we feel an ache or pain, we can go to Google and find 101 supplements designed to make us feel better.

🧑‍🦯 This is good — it’s amazing to have choices — but we must be careful not to let the internet make the decisions for us.

👂 For 99.99% of human existence, we chose what to consume and how to heal by following the signals in our body…

👀 But with today's technology, it’s very easy to turn off the signals in the body and focus on what is “highly rated” or what the “doctors recommend.”

⚡ Amplified intuition is about finding the balance — using the internet to find options, then using our internal guide to figure out which options are best for us.

The modern world has disconnected us from our bodies. We use our eyes and our phone screens for guidance. We no longer listen to our internal compass. — Jamie Holien

How To Train Your Inner Guide

💭 “Listen to your body” is easier said than done…

🍰 “Part of me is saying eat this cake… the other part is saying not to…”

📍 Thankfully, there are things we can do to better interpret the body’s signals.

🧭 Enter discernment: the practice of fine-tuning our inner guide.

“If you learn to discern, you will never do anything that doesn't move you forward in life.” — Jason Estes

Practice #1: Take the Time to Listen

👂 The first step in learning to discern is taking the time to listen.

👕 Before you decide what to eat, what to wear, where to go: Take a moment to tune inwards.

💭 A helpful prompt: Is this good for my body, is this good for my frequency?

🔭 If either of these answers is no, that’s a sign there is something better for you.

“It’s very valuable to know what a ‘hell no’ is in your system. Learning no is more valuable than learning yes.” — Jason Estes

Practice #2: Learn from the Extremes

You can practice discernment using things you already know are good/bad for you:

⛽ Imagine yourself holding a cup of gasoline: What does the gasoline smell like? What would it taste like? What is the texture? Get to know that feeling in your body.

⛰️ Now imagine yourself balancing on the edge of a cliff. What does this feel? Is it different than the gasoline feeling? Take note of the differences.

🧭 Over time, you will start to learn the markers of the things that are good for your body, and the things that are not.

“One of the quickest ways to learn discernment for me was imagination.” — Jason Estes

Practice #3: Say “No” More Often

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Humans are hard-wired to fit into the crowd.

🤲 We are prone to say “yes” to something, even if it is not good for us.

✋ We can practice discernment by saying no more often.

🍽️ If someone asks you to go to dinner, try saying no.

🤷 If someone asks you to help them with something, try saying no.

💭 You can even say “no, not now…” and then say yes 1 second later.

🧭 By making no your default, you will be able to identify what a true yes is.

Practice #4: Go To Walmart

💪 Walmart is a great training ground to practice discernment.

🚫There are many ingredients in Walmart that can activate the “hell no” signal in the body.

✅ There are also many ingredients that can activate the “hell yes” signal in the body.

💭 Next time you’re in Walmart (or at the grocery store in general), try tuning into each ingredient before adding it to your cart.

🧭 And remember that it’s okay to get it wrong sometimes. Like a game of “hot and cold,” every action gives you more feedback that helps you move closer to your inner guide.
