In the beginning, all you are doing is training your "intuitive muscles" to start functioning. As you grow your skill, you'll get more and more "hits" (correct answers). Have some patience with yourself.
Second-GuessingThe second common trap is second-guessing. You'll get an intuitive idea, then your intellect pops in and tells you, "Hey, you might be wrong, guess again!" If you constantly second-guess your intuition, you are teaching it to NOT respond to your first request. By always using what comes to your mind first, you teach your intuition how to respond immediately to questions and requests for information.
MisinterpretationThe third common trap is misinterpreting the symbols and information you get. For example, you get a picture of a cruise ship, and you think it means you are going on a cruise soon. The intuition speaks to us in symbol and metaphor. We need to decipher these, and the literal interpretation is often guided by your own views of what that symbol means. Instead of trying to interpret things at first, simply describe what you see, hear or sense (called "witnessing the information"). Soon, you'll learn the language of symbol and metaphor that your intuition uses, and can interpret information more accurately.
Forgetting to Ask the Second QuestionThe fourth common trap is that we don't ask the "second question." For example, we ask our intuitive Self if we should move to a new home. In return, the intuitive Self gives us a picture of a man running down a highway at a high speed, away from your viewpoint. Instead of taking that as a "no", ask THE SYMBOL what it is trying to tell you. It's possible that it means you're running away from a problem by moving. In the same example, let's say your intuitive Self gives a resounding "Yes! Move!" message. Ask the second question: "When would this be best to take place?" "What would be a good area to move to?" "Will there be any problems I should be prepared for?" When getting in touch with your intuitive Self, ask your questions as if you were a news reporter. Get all the facts. Ask deep, probing questions. Get to the source of the problem, if there is one. ===== Karyn Greenstreet is a Life and Business Coach.
