Upgrade Your Intuition: The Clean Slate Technique
Hi, I’m Elise Lebeau, the Left Brain Intuitive, and welcome to the Left Brain Intuition podcast, where we explore the intersection of logic and intuition.
Today, we’re enhancing your intuitive cycle, addressing the challenge of discerning whether the information you receive is from your conscious mind (logical thoughts, wishful thinking) or a genuine intuitive insight.
Your logical mind and intuitive mind are cohabitants in your brain, sharing decision-making responsibilities.
This cohabitation can be challenging as they have to navigate common areas, including communication devices.
Imagine having a single cell phone for the entire household. When it rings, you’re unsure who the call is for, and only one person can make a call at a time. If multiple people attempt to speak simultaneously, it becomes confusing.
This scenario mirrors the challenge of distinguishing between information from your logical mind (conscious knowledge) and your intuitive mind (subconscious insights).
To address this, I recommend a technique called “clean the slate.”
The concept is to engage your logical mind in a mundane but slightly interesting task to quiet it down temporarily.
We’re telling your logical mind, “We’re not listening to you right now; you’ll have your turn later.”
This allows us to shift the focus to your intuition. Without a consistent process for clearing the slate, it’s like attempting to cook in yesterday’s unwashed pan—creating a mixture of logical and intuitive thoughts that lead to confusion.
The process involves counting backward VERY SLOWLY from 21, stating only the odd numbers at a deliberately slow pace.
This deliberate slowness aims to bore your logical mind, reducing its stimulation.
As the Logical Mind’s volume decreases, intuitive insights become clearer, eliminating the confusion caused by a mix of both.
To ask a question of your intuition, initiate the process by counting backward from 21, using only the odd numbers.
This technique empowers you to upgrade your intuitive cycle.
