What Is Intuition? And Why It Matters

Intuition is our innate connection to the Divine Universe. It gives us information that defies the rational mind. Simply put, Intuition is our natural ability to receive. When you practice listening, you discover your truth and what lights you up. In this talk, I explore Intuition, why it matters, and how it is essential to live a life true to you.

Hello,

My loves.

I am here to talk to you today about intuition and why does it matter.

I'm Kate Tramiels and this is Venus Lessons,

Where I talk all things intuition,

The practices,

The reality,

And how it supports you to live your best life according to what you feel and what you need.

So intuition is one of those powerful connections that we all have.

You were born with it.

I was born with it.

It is designed to give us that beautiful connection to the inner divine.

You know that you have had moments where you have felt something,

Where you have heard something,

You see something,

Or you get repeated messages.

And those are indicators of your connection to a much bigger picture than just what we have in our mind.

So we have lots of ways to receive information in this life.

We actually interact with our experience with our mind,

With our thoughts,

With our feelings and our emotions,

With our touch.

All of our five senses are really important to how we process this experience of being in this world.

And we have a bigger,

More profound connection known as intuition.

And whether you consider that a bigger connection to the universe,

Whether you consider it a connection to a divine plan,

Whether you just consider it a connection to the collective consciousness,

It is meant to give us information that actually in a lot of ways defies our mind,

Defies what we might think about things and or how we even feel in the immediate moment.

Intuition gives us a connection to information that is way bigger and way more than we could possibly actually know.

So it is designed to give us that wonderful information.

You probably have had experiences,

I know I have,

Even the smallest things where you just know on some level whether you are meant to go to that party,

Whether you actually want that job,

Whether you think that that person in your life is a good influence was what I was thinking,

Whether they're a good influence,

Whether you actually even like being around them.

So it is a really simple thing and yet it's incredibly profound.

So I have had many experiences where I have just had a knowing about a person,

About an interaction,

Even about a trip.

So my latest one is that I have had just the strongest feeling that I'm not meant to go on a trip right now.

And typically I'm someone who absolutely loves to travel and yet my intuition has been really telling me that this is not the time.

I don't actually know the why.

I don't even know all the details but because I have such a strong connection with my intuition I really trust it.

So what are a few indicators that you're getting an intuitive message?

Well the first is,

And this is going to sound a little out there,

Well actually it completely makes sense to me,

But it's that it won't necessarily agree with your rational mind or even your feelings.

So you will just get a knowing or you will get,

What happens to me a lot of the time is that you will hear a specific phrase,

A specific word,

Maybe even a specific animal.

So like lately I've been getting a repeated message whether it's in a book that I'm reading,

Whether it's driving by on a truck,

Whether it's actually a text that somebody sends me on my phone that is butterfly and the symbolism of what that means.

So I can kind of unpack it a little bit and understand what that message means for me right now.

And what happens when I click into the message from my inner knowing and my inner guidance is I get this wonderful feeling,

Like this expansive feeling and I get this almost like a like all of a sudden I get this rush of energy or the room sometimes feels brighter.

The other thing that happens is my body leans in.

So I used the example previously about maybe you're wondering if you're meant to go to a specific party or whether or not you want to meet with a person and if you notice that your body contracts or moves back you're getting an indication from your intuition.

That's an immediate sense that's just telling you no.

It's really simple.

It doesn't actually have to mean anything.

There's no judgment in it.

It's just telling you yes or no or it's telling you a little bit more information to connect the dots for you so that you know what your next step is.

And then the other thing that can happen is if all of a sudden you feel expansive and lit up and like oh you know that's why I do the gasp because that happens for me.

So if that happens for you it's an indicator that heck yes.

I think of intuition as either a heck no or a heck yes and it really is that clear.

What ends up happening and I'll go into this in another video I promise is that you can start muddying the waters of something that was a really clear message.

Intuition comes in like a lightning bolt.

It comes in snap bang like you will just know and we start to muddy the water with our thoughts,

With our feelings,

With maybe beliefs and patterns that rush in because they've been a part of our upbringing and our training and again that's a bigger picture that I promise I'll dive into in another video.

But first I want you to understand that it really is that clear it really is that amazing and beautiful and for you even if it's uncomfortable like from the perspective of oh no now I need to tell X person that I'm not coming to their party or I'm not coming to that dinner or I really don't want that job.

That can be uncomfortable.

You can end up in situations where it's not always like heck yes I get to do this but you know in every cell in your body you actually do know that that thing is not for you and then when we go against it it ends up causing us a lot more thoughts and emotions.

Why is intuition so important?

Why do I talk about intuition all the time and I have an amazing set of practices that I will share with you and that I talk about.

So first and foremost intuition is your connection to the life that feels true to you.

It's your connection to the universe and we all have that and we all get trained out of it by some interactions by some sense of authority.

There's all kinds of different ways that we get convinced that our intuition is not to be trusted,

That maybe their opinion or their way of doing things matters more.

Number one is that we live in a world filled filled with billions of opinions and an equal amount of information.

So that can make life incredibly confusing,

Incredibly overwhelming.

Sometimes having so many things,

So much information,

So many opinions,

So many opportunities to filter can be incredibly overwhelming for us and really once again muddies the water.

So that is why the number one thing that you can do to be clear about the life that you want to live,

The life that you actually desire is to actually connect to your intuition,

To practice listening.

I consider your intuition your inner compass,

Your inner GPS because it will always track where you desire to go.

It will always orient to your heart and soul so that you are going in the direction that is meant for you.

And then other things like the opinions and the information and the overwhelming choices are the things that kind of mess with the GPS that can like suddenly send your compass off and that's why having practices to come back to your intuition is so freaking important,

So important.

Like it's I can't say it enough.

I can't do it enough.

It's why I have practices that I do every day and there are times where it's harder for me and times when it's easier and always I know,

I know in my heart,

Soul and in every cell of my being that if I make sure that I do those practices,

My intuition is clear.

It serves me.

It brings me back to a sense of peace and calm and knowing and there is nothing more amazing and more supportive than your inner knowing because it's not meant to be your mom's inner knowing.

It's not meant to be your best friend's inner knowing.

It's not meant to be,

You know,

The person halfway across the world who has a million followers inner knowing.

It's not.

It's your inner knowing because you came here to live your life and to experience your gifts and to trust what works for you.

So I like to think of your intuition as your inner BFF,

Your inner best friend.

I consider it my connection to the divine universe which is massive and my wonderful,

Amazing like inspired human brain cannot possibly hold all the things that are in the divine universe.

It can't possibly and yet my intuition has access to all of that brilliant imagination and magical ways that it works.

I can't even possibly put words to all the ways that intuition works.

However,

I like you have access to it.

We all do and the clearer we get,

The more that you practice listening to that intuition,

The clearer it is,

The faster it speaks to you or actually it probably speaks to you just as fast.

It's just we're faster at listening to it.

That's what I would say.

We actually hear it.

We'll do another video about all the things that actually can mess with your intuition because there's a lot and it's so important to take good care of yourself in all the ways that support you being able to actually hear your intuition.

So that is intuition and why it matters and I look forward to sharing so much with you about the who,

What,

Why,

When and how of intuition.

We'll talk to you soon.

Bye.
