Intuition is our ability to understand something immediately without the need for conscious reasoning. But how does intuition really work?

Your intuition functions just like a radio does 📻

In order for you to listen to music, there has to be an external source sending a radio wave or signal that you then tune into on your personal radio device. There is both a sender of the signal and a receiver of the signal. Both parts are necessary in order for you to actually hear music. 

If the signal was never sent, you wouldn’t be able to hear any music. But if there is static or a problem with the antenna of your radio, you also won’t be able to hear the music. 

When it comes to intuition, the “signal” or intuitive guidance is being sent by your higher self, your spirit guide/guide team, or the universe. YOU, or rather your energy field, is the receiver of their signal.

When they send a signal it is downloaded into your energy field the same way computers download files. But for you to be able to “open” their download, your energy field has to be clear from static and your antenna has to be tuned to the appropriate station. 

Since the signal is being sent by the universe itself or another high vibrational being (your higher self, spirit guides, goddesses/gods), we can trust that their signal is already clear. So when you have a hard time hearing or trusting your own intuition, the problem isn’t with the signal, it’s with the receiver (i.e., your energy field).

If a radio stops functioning properly, the most efficient way to repair it is going to be to first diagnose the specific problem otherwise you can end up throwing spaghetti against the wall fixing random things that may not even be broken. 

The same is true for your intuition. If it hasn’t been functioning the way you want it to, the first step is to identify your specific interference so that you can address that.

Your intuition is being influenced by an ANTENNA MALFUNCTION.

When you experience an ANTENNA MALFUNCTION, the intuitive signals are being sent to your energy field, BUT you are having a hard time actually receiving the guidance. This usually signifies that you are disconnected from who you are at a soul level and that you aren’t tuned to the frequency of your intuition. This could also mean that you’re feeling lost in life and confused about who you even are or what you even want.

Individuals with an ANTENNA MALFUNCTION, often find themselves thinking:

• “I wish I could hear my intuition.” 

• “Other people seem to really be able to hear their intuition, why can’t I?”

• “Life would be easier if I actually had inner guidance.”

• “I wouldn’t even know what my intuition actually sounds like if I heard it.”

• “I’m not sure it’s even possible for me to develop my intuition. Feels hopeless.”

When it comes to an ANTENNA MALFUNCTION, the first step is to call your soul back into alignment. This is my favorite way to do that:

• Find a space that you can get quiet and be present.

• Take a few deep breaths trying to breathe deep into your bottom ribs. You can even place a hand on the lower part of your back, if that’s helpful for you to focus.

• Start to imagine 2 versions of yourself. The one that is sitting down doing this meditation and another version that is tethered to you and floating out in space.

• Notice where the tether is attached to your physical body, the color of the tether, the texture of it, and any other details that you observe.

• Once you have a clear image of the tether, I want you to start pulling it back into your body. You can either pull the tether in your mind’s eye or use your physical hands. As you do this, start to see the version of you that was floating getting closer and closer to your physical body.

• When your floating version is hovering above your physical head, I want you to pull the tether quickly so that the floating version enters your physical body through your crown chakra (top of your head).

• After you have pulled the floating version into your body, start to feel both versions of you merge together and become one unit. 

• Set the intention that they stay connected together.

Use this exercise anytime you are feeling disconnected from yourself and want to come back into alignment!
