A Practice for Intuition
“Listen to your inner voice, for it is a deep and powerful source of wisdom, beauty and truth, ever flowing through you.” —Caroline Joy Adams
Have you ever had that experience where something happened, and you went back and thought…”I knew that wasn’t right. I wish I had listened to my gut”?
Our body is constantly processing information—patterns, past experiences, emotional cues—way faster than our conscious mind can.
And it communicates through sensation.
Like a tightness in the chest when something feels off, or a feeling of expansion or warmth in your heart when you're on the right path, or butterflies in the stomach before an important decision.
There’s actually a term for this: interoception.
It’s your ability to sense what’s happening inside your body.
And here’s where it gets interesting:
Practicing mindfulness strengthens interoception. So in addition to reducing stress and finding more calm, mindfulness helps you literally get better at hearing and reading your own internal signals.
So why do we struggle to trust ourselves?
Because we’ve been trained to override the body. To trust logic over sensation. To prioritize external expectations over internal signals.
We move too fast to notice what’s actually happening inside of us.
So we end up second-guessing ourselves…not because we lack intuition, but because we’re not tuned into it. We’re not hearing it.
Intuition is subtle.
So let’s cultivate our ability to notice and listen to those internal sensations and reconnect with our inner compass…one present moment at a time.
