Do You Have an Intuitive Injury?

Intuitive Injuries: When Trust Is Broken
Do you have an intuitive injury?
Is there a time in your past where you thought you were following your intuition—something felt good—and it did not turn out well? Disappointing.
I call that an intuitive injury because you’ve hurt something. It can heal.
An intuitive injury has the potential of slowly degrading the quality of intuitive insight that you can receive.
When you don’t trust it, and you don’t listen to it, and you’re not able to act upon it, you teach your intuition to become quieter and quieter—to the point where it might be hard to hear.
How can you heal from that?
Intuition and Rebuilding Trust
An intuitive injury is fundamentally about trust.
To reverse that, we need to rebuild trust, one intuitive insight at a time.
If you are not getting anything at all from your intuition, your emotions are your best bet to start rebuilding trust.
When you feel angry and you don’t know why, that’s a good place to start.
How Intuition Works
Your logic, which is your other decision-making system, uses your conscious mind to make a plan, have steps, and reach a goal.
Your intuition uses subconscious information to provide you with guidance in the moment. It’s live: are you going in the direction of what you want or not?You don’t know why you’re angry. Your intuition is saying, not this way. That’s all it’s saying. The direction that you’re going is not towards what you want, which gives you an opportunity to clarify: What do I want?
I want to have a better relationship with my husband—so that these fights, when they happen, if they happen, they’re short, and we can move on and have peace in the house again.
Your intuition can start feeding you information about what is a way to do that. What’s something you can do to go in that direction?
And you’ll know that you’ve received an intuitive insight because you’ll feel relief.
Intuition and Everyday Choices
The easy way you can do this is to think of a lot of things that you could do.
I can make tea—does it feel better or worse?
I can apologize—does it feel better or worse?
I can go for a walk—does it feel better or worse?
You’re good at feeling that sense of relief in the moment. You can follow that trail back to where you are starting to pay attention to your intuition through your emotions, and you’re taking a small action based on it.
Intuition in Action
If you get a feeling like, I want a better relationship with my husband. We’re angry right now, and when I ask, should I go for a walk?—it felt better.
You do it.
You go for a walk. You take a small action based on an intuitive insight.
And in that moment, you have completed the four steps of the intuitive algorithm—aligned it with what you want—and you were able to accelerate by taking a small decision based on the intuitive insight.
That moment where you go out to take that walk—yes, the fight is still in progress.
Maybe when you come back from this walk, you’ll feel more calm, and you’ll be able to reach out to your husband and say, “Hey, let’s try to talk about this again.” Or you’ll be able to apologize. Or he’ll apologize because you were gone for a little bit, and everybody had time to cool off.
Healing an intuitive injury is simple: pay attention to your intuition and follow the guidance that you receive.
