Intuition...Is It Magic?
Intuition is not magic…but it is divine✨.
You are a divine being with a channel to Spirit, Source, God, or to whatever else you attribute the orchestration of the universe🌠. For Star Wars fans, it is the Force. It is intuition, knowing, channeling, or accessing the quantum. These are all the same, tapping into the divine channel that we all have access to. That is your intuition.
You have intuition, everyone does! The great thing about using your intuition to make a decision, is that you can make it without fear.
Is a little fear healthy, like some people say? While caution, discernment, and/or a strong response or defense are required at times in our world, most of the time fear is not necessary (more on this in a future blog). The ego fear reaction is good for truly life-threatening situations, so how about we save it for those few situations when our life is in peril?
Some people try to keep fear alive because they live in fear, cultivating divisiveness and separation. Our ego can be on board with this way of life, as our ego’s directive is to preserve the body. By listening to our heart instead, our intuition or guidance from within, we move closer to oneness in flow with the universe. When the mind is a tool of the heart we move closer to peace❤️.
I have been actively cultivating this “listening” by paying attention, by dropping into my heart space when I am considering a decision. By tapping into this channel, I can also gain information about a situation.
In my own experience there are times, more frequently now, that I “know” things. I remember last year when I was considering joining a networking group. When I meditated on it, I felt a repelling in my heart, like two magnets pushing against each other. For me this meant that I should not join, as my path was not aligned with the group🤷♂️.
My life reference A Course In Miracles (ACIM), says that “psychic” abilities are helpful to us if ego is not involved (my paraphrasing here). Per ACIM, some of us have allowed limitations to fall away, allowing insight from Spirit to be expressed.
Another benefit of listening to intuition is freedom from guilt or judgement. Also from ACIM, we are “absolved from guilt” when we listen to the Holy Spirit. Friends, this resonates with me, but feel free to substitute your own guide, deity, or universal entity here.

If a decision feels right in your heart, without ego fear, then follow that trail😊! And keep practicing…you will learn to trust that gut feeling! And feel good that your decisions come from the divine!
