Solo Exercises for Intuition Development

The idea behind many of these exercises is to open your mind to new possibilities. The
purpose of these exercises it to "train" your intuition, much like you'd train a
muscle to do a certain task.
When we tell ourselves over and over again that we can't
do something, we are making that our reality. So instead of saying you have no intuitive
skills, try to expand the way you do things to incorporate new ways, new ideas, new
beliefs. This will help you accept the abilities once you begin to work with them.
Be aware when doing exercises that your mood,
distractions and time of day can have an effect.
To that end, here are some solo exercises to try:
 |
Change
your daily routine. Do things in a different
order and different pace. Change your morning routine. Drive to work or to the store by a
different route. Change the way you eat your meal. Remain aware of how you feel about
expanding and changing your routines. What happens when you do this? How does it make you
feel? |
|
Each
day, guess what mail will be in your mailbox. Guess the number of total items, then break them down to advertisements,
personal letters, bills, etc. Don't worry about being right or wrong...don't attach that
much importance to the exercise. Simply ask yourself, "What mail do I have here
today?" Try not to second-guess yourself or to analyze your answers. When you have an
answer, ask yourself, "Does this feel RIGHT?" "Is this true?" Hear the
answer from within. |

While
standing in front of a bank of elevators, try to guess which one will come first. Or, try this: with the palm of your hand, aim it at each elevator and see if
you can "feel" which one is different from the others (i.e., it's moving towards
your floor at a different speed). |
|
Guessing
Colors. With a deck of playing cards, hold them
face down in your hand. Stare at the first card, then close your eyes. Guess what color it
will be: black or red. Write down your guesses for each card (include the date and time
you did the exercise). Look for patterns in your answers. If, for example, you always pick
the color of the NEXT card, you'll need to make an adjustment. When you're ready, try the
same exercise with the suits.

Feeling
Energy...When doing intuition work, it is
important to be able to literally feel or sense your own and others' energy. Using your
hands is one of the most reliable ways to get a good reading on energy. Try this exercise
on yourself and others:
While standing, pass your hand (palm towards the body) from the top of your head to
your pelvic area. Note any areas that feel different. The most common feelings will be
those of excessive heat or cold, tingling, or a kind of "dense" feeling as if
passing through thicker air. Note the locations of the energy centers.
Usually, heat or density indicate an excess or blockage of energy in that area of the
body, often caused by mental, physical, emotional, or spiritual situations which are
manifesting themselves in that particular energy area of the subtle anatomy. A coldness or
lightness often indicates a deficiency in energy in that area.
So what use is this test of blockages and deficiencies? It helps the intuitive person
to have a clear channel when working. Balancing blockages and deficiencies in the body,
mind and spirit assist the intuitive person in receiving clear messages and contacting at
a deeper level. When testing the seeker for energy, oftentimes the intuitive persons can
sense, intuitively, the root of the problem by knowing where the energy is either blocked
or deficient.

Tire-Clock
- With a piece of chalk, mark the 12:00 position on a tire of your car.
When you arrive at your destination, before looking at the chalk mark, try to guess which
"time" position the chalk mark ended up. |
