Launching Your Intuition
With Medium
WILLA WHITE RANNEY
Intuition can be perceived through various methods. We all have intuition. Some of us have accessed it most of our lives, some are just starting. The principles are the same. The most important one being that we have a "yes/no" response.
In fact, we use it ALL of the time...when making decisions, when determining our purpose and course of action, when defining who we are. I'm going to introduce the first exercise in order to encourage you to TRUST yourself.
I want you to know that there is no wrong way to experience this.
I also want you to remember WHERE you experienced the responses. Where in your body.
Remember you will be responding "yes" or "no" and remember WHERE you feel the response. It may be in different places or "feel" different. Okay, here we go!!!
Are you male?
Are you female?
Is your name "James"?
Are you in a chat room right now?
Okay...now you probably felt something. Some people feel "yes" in a specific place. Some people feel "no" in a specific place. Some feel it in their gut. Some feel it in their head. Some feel it in their heart... and so on.
You may need to practice on your own with more questions. But it is a fun way to determine your "yes/no" response. Another important element to point out is MAYBE.
You may have a response to some questions that is "maybe." Or "I don't know."
Let's try a few more questions�?/STRONG>
Are you related to anyone living in New York State?
Do you have intuition?
Are you a gorilla?
Okay...you get the point. Sometimes the more ridiculous you make the question, the more you laugh, and open yourself to your intuitive self.
Now, a few terms for those you are not acquainted with them. We perceive spirit or other information through our intuitive senses.
Clairvoyance---clear seeing
Clairaudience---clear hearing
Clairsentience---clear feeling
Clairscent---clear smelling
Clairgustance---clear tasting
This mimics the five senses obviously, but it's usually more of an internal experience.
You may see a person, object, or place in your mind's eye. You may hear a voice, word, or phrase. Either internally, or externally.
You may experience certain sensations in a part of your body.
For example, as a medium, I may feel (temporarily) a heart attack, stroke, amputation, etc. to indicate a physical condition. Or a touch or tingling indicating healing in a certain place.
You may smell banana bread baking when there is none in sight, or your grandmother's favorite perfume. You may taste peppermint or thanksgiving turkey. These experiences add up to a total impression.
However you experience spirit or intuitive information can usually be placed into those categories of perception. You may be really good at one particular method, but you can learn to enhance all of them.
Now that you have a foundation of the method of feeling...I want you to join me in the next exercise...
This is about TRUSTING your FIRST response.
At one time or another you probably played a word association game. A person would say a word and you would respond immediately with the first word that popped into your head. Some people need to rekindle that feeling of trusting their first response. This eliminates fear because INTUITION takes over.
So play along with me in this next exercise. Speed is everything. ABSOLUTELY NO THINKING ALLOWED!!!
You are to just blurt out your word. And you better blurt one fast because the next word will be coming soon. (Please blurt this word to yourself for now. hahaha)
Okay, ready, set, go... on your toes!
Zebra
Paper
Computer
Medium
White
Dream
Tree
Dragon
Okay, don't worry if you blanked, this all takes practice. Some of you probably had an immediate response. No thinking involved. When you are working intuitively... you must not let your left brain (that logical place that talks you out of things) take over.
With the above exercises, you are learning to access your intuitive mind... and bypassing the part of you that thinks you are making it all up. Believe me when you practice, you will understand that your fear is being released.
Okay, next exercise. (I'm keeping you on your toes.)
This next exercise is a visualization exercise. Please keep your eyes open. I will do a brief intro meditation to get you into it, and then we will EXPERIENCE!
Please take a few deep breaths...inhale...exhale...relaxing...
Breathing in...breathing out...enjoying this moment...relaxing...
Feel your body relaxing…�?
Now, in your mind, picture your front door�?
As you look at your front door, view what color the door is�?
What is the door made of?
Is there a window in the door?
Does it have a knob or handle?
Now, you are opening the door...
Does it swing to the right or left?
What do you see first when you open the door?
A hallway, jackets and shoes, your pet coming toward you to greet you... if not, what do you see?
What smells greet you?
What do you hear?
What do you feel?
Okay...now after taking these moments to recall what you experienced... return slowly to the present...to now...
Many of you probably visualized either the doorknob or handle in your hand... and felt the knob or handle turning in your hand as you opened the door... that was clairsentience.
When you saw and observed the color and visual look of the door... that was clairvoyance.
When you heard a dog barking, or the door opening, etc... that was clairaudience.
When you smelled cookies or candles, etc... that was clairscent
We didn't get a chance taste anything, but I bet if I asked to taste your favorite food in your mouth right now...you could....that is clairgustance.
Very good everyone! Remember this is something to be practiced and expanded upon. It is image and experience recall, and connecting with Spirit and/or intuitive information feels remarkably the same.
I know time is going fast and I would like to fit in one more exercise that will help you access your intuition everyday.
This exercise will help you intuitively connect with improving tomorrow.
We all need a little help sometimes balancing ourselves, and preparing for the next day's events. So...relax...and prepare for a brief meditation.
Sit quietly and just relax…�? as you breathe comfortably and easily, turn your thoughts inward and focus on yourself and your day�?.
Project the mental question, and at the same time let it echo in your mind---
"What approach or vibration is best for me tomorrow?"
Be mindful of the impressions you are receiving...
It may be a color�?a word�? Phrase�? or an understanding that comes to mind.
Continue the process by reviewing the people and events of your upcoming day and...
getting psychic guidewords or impressions for dealing with them.
Take a few moments now...
Good. Now return to the present�?nbsp; To now.
These impressions will help you with tomorrow. You may want to write them down later.
You can do this exercise on a daily basis if you wish. You can do the meditation in the early morning if you prefer and replace the word "tomorrow" with "today."
Many of you probably used some of the skills and practice from the exercises we've just accomplished this evening ...to help you with this meditation.
Imagination is your tool. Let it flow and guide you in your spiritual journeys. I am happy that I could provide you with some quick response exercises that will... help you to believe in your responses and impressions... and trust your intuitive process. I will you all the highest and best on your journey.
