Friends, psychic abilities are our birthright. We are all born with one or more of them. Because they have not been encouraged these gifts have atrophied within us but they have not disappeared. Once encouraged on a regular basis they return and can become quite powerful indeed!

In this post I want to talk specifically about the gift of intuition which is frequently called ESP, instinct, and "that gut feeling." Personally, I feel our intuition is the greatest psychic gift there is. I say this because it is next to impossible to interpret a feeling incorrectly.

For instance, I may ask myself, "Is today a good day to list an item I want to sell on ebay?", knowing full well my intention is to get a really high price for that item. I tune into my intuition as I am asking and notice what I am feeling. If I feel good about it I know it is a good day to list and I will get a high price. If, when I tune in, I am not feeling such a good feeling about it then I know it is not a good day to list the item.

Once upon a time I was not so good at eliciting answers from my intuition. I had to cultivate this ability. I did this by suggesting to myself over and over that I was profoundly intuitive and that my intuition is strong, powerful and accurate, plus a few other choice suggestions. Within 3 weeks of doing hypnosis for myself daily on this subject I was astounded at the result. My ability to intuit things had sky rocketed!

I use my intuition for everything. I even tune in to my intuition when I am working with a client. My success with clients has quadrupled as a result.

Let me explain how I use this gift with clients. As I am giving suggestions to my clients I am intuiting whether or not to use certain words and the best way to put those words together so as to have a positive and powerful impact on the person's subconscious mind. I am also intuiting whether or not the client likes what they are hearing. If I am feeling that they do not like a suggestion as I have given it I then intuit how to reword the suggestion so that their subconscious likes it and will accept it. Honestly, I don't know how any hypnotherapist does this work without employing their intuition. For me, the two are inseparable.

My suggestion to everyone is to cultivate your intuition. It will never steer you in the wrong direction. With a full blown working intuition you will always make the right decisions, provided you listen to it, that is. In the end, it really is about learning to listen to your intuition and this can be as great an undertaking as cultivating it. However, with the use of hypnosis even the persistent and annoying need to ignore your intuitive hunch can be overcome. Trust me, it is so!
