Ever had that gut feeling...?
All this is part of how our intuition works in our daily lives. Perhaps you have not realized or paid attention to what your body and mind is telling you. That nervous feeling in the pit of the stomach, or the knowingness you get when you are observing your pet is just some examples of our complex way of viewing the world. For some of us that have a physical disability , it is part of the way we hear, see, or interactive in our lives in order to understand what is going on around us. For others, they have always been sensitive, and want to learn how to manage it, or increase their awareness to have a more fullfilling life.
Society teaches us from a very young age to put much more value on what we see and hear, rather than what we FEEL, and as a result, a lot of us are not aware of or pay attention to our intuition. So even on those rare occasions when we do experience that inner knowing, or feel a bit of a nudge to move in a particular direction, we often don’t recognize it for what it is.
However, there are quite a few ways that you can strenghten your intuition, it's just like working a muscle at the gym. The key is consistency, so take the time to practice.

- Meditate - Meditation has been shown to reduce stress, teach you to react more positively to daily situations, and calm your mind to help you access your inner knowing.
- Follow your intuition - When you get that small jolt of awareness, use it to tap into your intuition. Take the time to think about what your intution is trying to tell you. Write it down so you learn to recognize when your intuition is speaking to you.
- Appreciate the natural world around you - Just take a walk outside in the quietness of the woods, a park, a quiet lane, or other natural relaxing environment and enjoy the beauty that nature has to offer. As you take the time to appreciate it, you become more in tune with your intuitive side.
- Practice! - Like building a muscle, using this form of communication takes practice and consistency. Practice daily with your pet, your friend's pet and even with the wild animals you may see. Keep a journal to record your findings.
