The topic of using your intuition comes up regularly, but often people don’t know how to begin to tap into their intuition or how to be sure they’re hearing correctly if they are. As someone who has spent decades in the flow, the best advice I can give you is to simply just do it. Listening to your “gut” (1), going with where it leads (2), and then judging the fruit (3) is the best way to hone your intuition.
Whether you think of it as intuition or the prophetic or even acting as an oracle, all of those are operating in the flow – tapping into the unseen spirit/energetic realm to listen to Source / Mind / Consciousness. The idea of this is not to direct the outcome, but rather to receive direction. It is a release of control in the sense that it is a yielding and allowing Spirit to guide.
