Use Feng Shui to Boost Your Intuition

by

feng shui to boost your intuitionEvery day we are bombarded by messages from books, magazines, experts, mentors, gurus, friends and family all telling us what we SHOULD do.

We’re told how to eat, how to exercise, how to raise our kids and how to grow our businesses. And the best part? It usually conflicts!! How the heck are we to know what’s actually right??

This is where your inner GPS (aka your intuition) comes in. It’s your secret weapon to always knowing how to make the BEST decision in any life or business situation.

But sadly, most people really don’t know how to use it. Or how to get information ON DEMAND.

After all, what good is having an intuitive message that shows up three days after you had to make that important decision, right?

Having a STRONG intuitive muscle is one of the most useful skills you can have in life. And it’s something I am passionate about teaching women how to achieve.

So on this week’s episode of GET INTU-IT, I interviewed Feng Shui expert, Myrna Brown. She shared how you can use Feng Shui to boost your intuition!

Myrna shares 5 easy-to-implement steps that will have you looking at your home, bedroom and office in a whole new light!

After you watch, leave a comment. I’d love to know if you’re as fascinated about this topic as I am!

And head over to Myrna’s website to take her quiz. Find out which rooms in your home are helping you and which ones could actually be hurting you.

How to make the best decision

by

Imagine if you had a dollar for every decision you’ve made so far in your life? You’d likely be sipping champagne on your multi-million-dollar yacht in the French Riviera (or is that just my fantasy)?

I mean, just thinking about the BIG decisions I had to make in my 20’s is enough to make my head spin. Which career path do I follow? What job do I take? Where should I live? Should I marry my boyfriend? (okay that one was easy). But you get the picture. When faced with choices and options, how DO you make the best decision?

how to make the best decisionMost people will consult their logical mind, writing out lists of pros and cons, drawing charts, consulting with others, checking into things. Meanwhile, they already have the best answer and their inner GPS is pointing them right to it!

Some people listen (those are the smart ones), others are not there yet (and that’s okay too).

But for those who listen, it can still really be a struggle to get a clear sense of which choice to make and that’s because of our big, fat, beautiful brains. Or more precisely, our thinking and judging mind!

It’s pretty hard to get away from constantly scrutinizing and judging the intuitive guidance we get.

Here’s how the process usually goes:

  • You get an intuitive message you don’t understand because it’s just a tiny piece. (Spoiler Alert: intuitive guidance RARELY comes in full and complete forms).
  • Because you don’t understand it, you judge it or try to “figure it out”, thereby distorting the message.

This is DANGEROUS because it will likely lead you to make an incorrect conclusion or move in a less-than-optimal direction.

A better process is to gather the intuitive messages in bits and pieces (without judging them or trying to make sense of what they mean). Later on, you will sort them out and put them together – just like completing a jigsaw puzzle.

I’ll be explaining more about this in upcoming blog posts so stay tuned!

For now, stay relaxed and open and enjoy the messages as they come.

What Foods are RIGHT for me?

by

Eating. It’s something we have to do every day to maintain optimal health. Living in a first world country, we should have no problems when it comes to figuring out how to feed ourselves. However, each day we’re bombarded with a tsunami of information about “the best way to eat”  from magazine covers, books, experts, the Internet, friends and family. It leaves us feeling confused and overwhelmed and asking “What Foods are Right for ME?”

which foods are right for me

One of the things I have learned is that you can actually use your intuition to help you find the best way of eating for YOU!

In fact, you may have heard of “Intuitive Eating”. Instead of acting on autopilot and eating the same old stuff because you always do, stop and ask yourself, “Body, do you want this?”

Then notice what comes to you. You may notice your stomach tighten, or you may suddenly feel a bit nauseous. You might feel your throat constrict or a bit of a gagging reflex. Or, conversely, you may feel energy zinging through your body or get tingles or shivers.

Our bodies are highly accurate in letting us know what they need. The trouble is, we somehow stopped asking and listening.

PRO TIP: Here’s a quick exercise that you can try for the next few days to get you in the habit of intuitive eating.

Before each meal, ask your body, “Body, what can I give you to give me abundant energy and vitality right now?” Then notice what happens. You may have a word that pops into your head, you may be guided to a specific item in your pantry or fridge or taste something in your mouth. You may see a flash of an image in your mind’s eye.

The trick is not to JUDGE what you get. Simply receive it without getting into your head about it or listening to your ego telling you that you’re just making it up. (Because that will totally happen).

The next step is to ACT on what you get. Eat the foods that your intuition has shown you and notice how you feel. It’s even fun to keep a journal and notice the subtle shifts or changes that occur.

Do you feel more energized, less brain fog, do physical symptoms clear up, do you feel lighter and more upbeat emotionally? Write it all down so you can see the benefits of your intuitive eating.

Another trick you can try is when you feel a craving for something hold it in your hand and say, “Body, do you really want this?”

Your brain may be telling you, “Hell yes! Open that bag of chips already!” But as you tune in, you may actually notice it’s telling you, “no thanks”. Next you can ask it, “What do you want instead?” And again, tune in to what words, feelings, pictures come to you.

You might feel weird if you get a non-traditional breakfast food that pops into your head in the morning but give it a try! After all, who said breakfast HAS to be cereal, eggs & bacon or a smoothie?! If your body is asking for soup, go ahead and give it soup.

My friend has two young girls and shared with me that they are wonderful intuitive eaters! They will choose the most random things for their meals, but she supports them in their decisions and I think that’s wonderful!

The more you practice listening to what your body really wants, the more empowered you become. You no longer are a slave to sorting through all the conflicting health “advice” out there or ask yourself, “what foods are right for me?” AND, if you do have any kind of a health challenge, you’re better equipped to handle it because you instinctively KNOW how to eat, which treatment options are ideal and so on.

So, why not give it a try for a couple of days?  I’d love for you to post in the comments and let me know what you noticed.

Ask Your Intuition & Get Guidance ON DEMAND

by

Kids LOVE elevators, don’t they?  All of those buttons are irresistible!

And even though my kids are teens now, we still love elevators because we love playing the Intuition Game!ask your intuition

Recently while on holidays we got to play this game again. You know, it’s where you press the button and wait for the elevator to arrive and guess which one is going to show up first. But instead of “guessing,” you actually ASK your intuition to show you which one it will be.

The reason this is so fun is because is because when you ASK your intuition a question it triggers it to respond IMMEDIATELY with an answer.  You don’t have to wait for it to randomly show up while you are least expecting it.

I will give you a minute to pick your jaw up off the floor but YES, you did hear me right.

You can get IMMEDIATE, accurate and reliable intuitive guidance simply by ASKING for it.

In fact, you can start practicing right now with your own version of the elevator game.

Here are some other fun ways you can practice honing your intuitive muscle with situations that don’t have any major consequences attached to them.

For example, ASK YOUR INTUITION…

  • Which direction the car in front of you is going to turn or which ramp they will exit onto.
  • What time your spouse will get home from work.
  • Which line will be fastest at the grocery store, airport security, etc.
  • When you will be next to be called into exam room at the doctor/dentist/chiropractor etc.
  • What time your subway train, bus, cab, Uber etc. will arrive.
  • Who will go first, or when it will be your turn when you’re at events where people are being called up for something.
  • Who’s calling you when you hear the phone ring (no peeking at the call display).
  • Which song/artist will come up next on the radio (that one’s a bit harder).
  • What colour blouse or shirt will your friend be wearing when you meet up for girls’ night.

I could go on and on!

WARNING: this can become addictive (in a fun way) and you may even get into some friendly competition with your family members to see who is most “tuned in”.

So, give it a shot and let your imagination go wild. See how many fun and creative ways you can ask your intuition for guidance. Remember, practice makes perfect. 😊

Now I’d LOVE to hear from you. If we were having coffee together, and you could tell me what areas of your life you’d like to be able to get clear guidance about, what would those be? What struggles do you have using your inner guidance to help steer you through life and biz? Go ahead and share that too!

Using Intuition at Work – Why it Will Give you a Leg Up!

by

Whether you work for a boss, or for yourself, you’ve likely noticed that there always seems to be that one person who always gets ahead, even though they’re not the brightest, or most skilled of the bunch.  So, why is that? Well, if everything else is above board, it’s most likely because they’re using intuition at work!

We’re brought up that success comes from being smart and being able to apply our knowledge and if you look at any business school or MBA program they focus on fundamentals in sales, marketing, negotiation etc. But the TRUE secret to success lies in being able to make choices quickly and decisively and people who use their intuition at work ultimately have a leg-up because they’re able to do just that!

using intuition at work

If you ask me who should develop their inner guidance, I would say that’s like asking who should develop acute hearing and sight!

Everyone can benefit – in SO many capacities. For the purposes of this post, I wanted to focus on how having well-honed biz intuition muscle can make all the difference between slogging away in a cubicle or lounging in the corner office!

Here are FIVE WAYS USING INTUITION AT WORK WILL GIVE YOU A “LEG-UP”

To re-cap:

  • It will make your job EASIER! Most people who live intuitively know when you’re not in alignment with your career. You get a vibe to shift it to something that makes you feel happier and more fulfilled (been there, done that). When your career (and who you are at the deepest soul level) line up, things FLOW, and you don’t have to scrape and claw and fight your way to success. Can you say hello easy button?!
  • Intuition = creativity. How many times have you tried to THINK your way to inspiration? It doesn’t work, does it? The word INSPIRE comes from Latin meaning, “In Spirit” and the only way to get that, is to tap into the inner wisdom within you. It will always come up with a creative way to solve a problem or give you that a-ha or eureka idea you’d been searching for.
  • Recalculating Your Route – Intuitive guidance is like a sheep herding dog or GPS. When you get off track, your inner guidance will come nipping at your heels. If you’re paying attention to that inner voice, you will recognize it easily. That way, you can course correct quickly when you’re straying down a path that’s taking you on a detour away from your goals and desires.
  • A Rock-Solid B.S. Detector – When your intuitive muscle is strong, you immediately know if something feels off or if the person you just met (or are planning a business deal with) is full of sh*t! This is an infinitely powerful skill to have in the workforce!!! Enough said!
  • Is this a STOP sign? If you’ve been working for a while, then you’ve probably experienced your fair share of apprehension or fear about moving forward in some way. Oftentimes people will ask me, how do I know if that’s just my ego trying to keep me safe or if it’s really the Universe trying to tell me it’s a no-go? Easy answer is, your intuition will let you know. So, there’s another reason to start building that biz intuition muscle, right

NEED ANOTHER REASON to start using intuition at work?

If you look at HIGHLY successful people (we’re talking people like Steve Jobs, Richard Branson and Oprah) you will see that they know this little secret of using intuition at work.

In fact, Oprah herself said…

“For all the major moves in my life—to Baltimore, to Chicago, to own my show, and to end it—I’ve trusted my instincts. I take in all the information I can gather. I listen to proposals, ideas, and advice. Then I go with my gut, what my heart feels most strongly. And I often tell friends: When you don’t know what to do, do nothing. Get quiet so you can hear the still, small voice—your inner GPS guiding you to true North.”

Now I’d LOVE to hear from you. If we were having coffee together, and you could tell me what areas of your life you’d like to be able to get clear guidance about, what would those be? What struggles do you have in using your inner guidance to help steer you through life and biz? Go ahead and share that too! (Let me know in the comments below).

PS: If you’re a spiritually-minded woman who’s overwhelmed and confused by info overload from experts, mentors, webinars, podcasts, books etc. (and you’d like to know how to cut through the “noise” of what your head and everyone else is telling you), I would be more than happy to schedule a time to help.  Simply complete this brief questionnaire and we’ll set up a complimentary clarity check-up to talk about how to know what’s optimal for YOU, so you can make clear, confident life and biz decisions with ease.

Is Ignoring My Inner Guidance BAD?

by

“Is ignoring my inner guidance bad?” is probably not a question you’ve asked yourself outright. But if you’re like most people, you’ve probably had a slip-up here or there and gone a different route than the one your gut prompted you to follow.

We receive guidance all the time (24/7 in fact) but sometimes we listen and sometimes we don’t.

When we don’t listen to it, the outcome is different based on the type of guidance that was coming through.

You may have never even thought of guidance having different purposes, but it sure does.

Sometimes guidance is there to help you hone your intuitive muscle.  

This kind of guidance is usually subtle, so you need to pay attention to hear its whispers. It usually feels like a hunch or an “inkling” about something.

It might be a tiny voice, gut feeling, or knowingness that a job, client, or relationship isn’t quite right for you.

If you choose to ignore it, and go forward anyway, you’ll likely learn some important life lessons. Namely, to listen to your inner guidance next time!

We all go through this!

Sometimes you get guidance, trust it and follow it and you see what happens.

Sometimes you get guidance, and DON’T trust or follow it and you see what happens.

Over time, you start to see where you have a better success rate. And as I said, this is how you hone and strengthen your intuitive muscle.

Sometimes guidance is course correcting you.

This is guidance that comes through persistently. Sometimes people think if they “miss” this guidance they are out of luck. But the truth is, guidance always REPEATS. So, when you have a more persistent idea, thought, gut feeling or keep seeing or hearing something over and over, this is important to take note of.

What is usually happening is that the Universe senses you are straying from your true path and it’s trying to course correct you.

I give a great example of this in this week’s video so take a peek!

Now we’re human, so we usually miss the guidance the first few times it comes around. So, it does sometimes get louder and louder until we can’t ignore it any longer.

For example, you have the guidance to move your career in a different direction and leave the job you hate but you’re afraid so you stick it out only to get let go.

Or, you have a bad track record of taking good care of yourself and even though you’re picking up guidance to slow down you don’t and then you end up with a speeding ticket (literal translation of slowing down) or experiencing something physically.

Now I don’t mean for you to think that if you ignore your guidance, the universe is going to make something “bad” happen. And in fact, it’s only our judgement that calls it “bad”. In truth, after we go through those experiences we come to realize that losing our job or having a health wake up call was awesome because we did not have the strength or courage to make the necessary changes on our own.

Ideally though, you want to get really good at recognizing and acting on your guidance so that it doesn’t have to come to the point of it speaking to you so loudly!

Sometimes it’s life or death.

Now life and death guidance is something you really CAN’T IGNORE because this usually shows up very loudly and urgently.

You will often hear an actual voice warning you of danger.

And I have actually had this happen to me a couple of times in my life. Once, while I was camping in Africa and another time on Cascade Mountain in Banff, Alberta.

You can hear these spine-tingling stories in this week’s video. So check it out!

What’s your take on all this? I’d love to hear. Drop me a comment in the box below.

 

Can My Inner Guidance be WRONG?

by

Was there ever a time when you felt an intuitive nudge or hunch about something, ignored it, and then that decision came back to bite you in the butt?

I know I sure have!

In those instances, we realize that our inner guidance wasn’t just something we were making up, but actually helpful instructions about which next steps to take.

But what about when you DO trust and follow your inner guidance and it leads you to an outcome that wasn’t what you expected or wanted?

You probably asked yourself, “Can my inner guidance be WRONG?”

can my inner guidance be wrong

The best way to explain this is by using an example.

 

Let’s say you receive Divine guidance to open a new business. You know that it’s guidance because it comes through forcefully, repeatedly, and lovingly (all hallmarks of distinguishing REAL guidance from false).

You happily begin your exciting new venture. Even though there is a part of you that feels a little intimidated and scared, you are also excited and happy.

HOWEVER…your Ego is very upset that you’re taking action based on love and happiness (remember, the Ego is fear-based). The Ego knows that if you succeed, it will no longer control you and you’ll stop paying attention to what it dictates. So, it begins to rebel.

The Ego is very tricky. It cons you into believing that you shouldn’t trust other people. It convinces you to obsess and worry about money and your future. Since you’re already slightly worried about your business’ viability, you easily fall into the Ego’s trap!

Suddenly, you find that your fears about money keep you from sleeping at night. Your concentration is impaired, and you begin to make mistakes. In less than a year, you’re out of business!

You wonder, “what happened?!”

You start to think that maybe your desire to open a business was just wishful thinking, after all, you know you have trouble trusting your intuition.

But was that REALLY what happened??

The guidance to open your own business WAS Divinely inspired.

We know this because of these key characteristics:

  • The advice was repetitive
  • Came with feelings of joy
  • Allows you to serve others and use your natural talents
  • It gave you a sense of empowerment

So, what really happened here?

It’s like when the Ego’s fears arrived you took the wrong off-ramp from the correct road.

This is how we lose our way.

It doesn’t mean that the original road or destination was wrong, it just means we lost our way because we listened to our fears.

In the words of Doreen Virtue, “Fears don’t keep us safe; love does.”

Guidance is our inner GPS. It will ALWAYS get you exactly where you need to be, when you need to be there. But it comes down to us following the directions and staying on course.
