Hi Somatic Squad,
I'm Dr.
Kim,
A holistic chiropractor and online back pain coach.
Welcome to this talk on honing your intuition.
Today we're going to cover what intuition really is,
How following it can lead to magic in your life,
And how you can cultivate and trust this inner guidance.
What is intuition?
Intuition is your inner voice,
That gut feeling or quiet nudge that helps guide you in life.
It's subtle but powerful and it's always there if you learn to listen.
Sometimes it's a soft whisper that leads you to opportunities,
People and experiences that align with your highest good.
Other times it's a warning signal,
Letting you know when something feels off or isn't in your best interest.
Your intuition is essentially your soul's GPS.
It's always guiding you towards joy,
Flow and alignment with your true self.
When you ignore it,
You will experience stress,
Misalignment and physical discomfort.
The benefits of following your intuition When you start following your intuition,
Life begins to flow more smoothly.
You'll notice synchronicities,
Opportunities appearing out of nowhere and a general sense of ease.
It's like the universe conspires to support you.
I've experienced this firsthand in my life.
Two years ago,
I was a digital nomad,
Living out of my suitcase and travelling the world.
I travelled from Thailand to California for an event,
Planning to just stay two weeks.
But I was having so much fun that I received this internal nudge and it told me,
You should stay longer.
The thing is,
I couldn't afford to stay in a hotel or Airbnb.
If you live in California,
You'll know what I mean by those prices.
But I put my wishes out to the universe anyway and something amazing happened.
People started offering me places to stay.
What was supposed to be a short trip turned into a three-month adventure.
I met famous people,
Formed friendships that still light up my life and I was able to form friendships that still light up my life.
I even ended up staying in a house full of Hollywood stunt actors and I had experiences that shaped me in ways I could never have imagined.
When you're in alignment with your intuition,
Doors will open for you and life becomes this beautiful dance.
You move in flow and everything just feels right.
What happens when you don't follow your intuition?
On the flip side,
When you don't listen to your intuition,
Things can quickly feel off.
I remember traveling through Bali.
Bali is literally paradise and there are so many other digital nomads there.
I thought,
What could possibly go wrong?
It's going to be perfect.
But as soon as I arrived,
I could tell something wasn't right.
I stopped sleeping,
My back pain flared up and I just didn't vibe with any of the people I met there.
Instead of feeling in flow,
I felt stuck,
Tired and out of sync.
My body was literally telling me that I was not supposed to be there.
I listened and I flew out of Bali.
I listened and I flew out of Bali.
Immediately,
I started sleeping again and I felt better.
I was back on track.
The importance of having fun.
One of the easiest ways to tap into your intuition is by following what feels fun and light.
Fun is a direct line to flow.
When you're in a state of joy,
Your intuition naturally kicks in stronger.
It's like you open up the channel for higher guidance when you're not forcing things but instead moving with ease and excitement.
In fact,
When I reflect on the times where I've been in the deepest flow in my life,
They were always the times when I was following what felt fun,
Expansive and light.
These were times where I completely de-centered things like money and relationships from my life and just focused on me and what makes me happy.
Detachment is absolute key to this process but that's a topic for another talk.
So,
Fun is not just frivolous.
It's one of the most powerful ways to get in touch with your intuition.
I love to dance.
Right now,
I am in love with a style called Brazilian Zouk.
When I dance,
I am having so much fun.
I'm just living in the present moment.
Oftentimes,
I'll get hit with creative ideas and solutions for my back pain clients after I dance.
This is my intuition at work.
Practices to hone your intuition.
Now,
Let's talk about how you can start honing your intuition in your everyday life.
Here are a few simple practices and tools to strengthen that inner guidance.
One,
Ask yourself questions.
When you're faced with a decision,
Ask yourself,
How does this feel in my body?
Or,
Does this decision feel light or heavy?
Your body knows before your mind does.
Note any emotions like dread and instead follow emotions like excitement and joy.
Two,
Follow the fun.
Start paying attention to what lights you up.
Fun and joy are great indicators of what's in alignment with you.
When you're having fun,
Your intuition is already working for you.
Sometimes,
I like to enhance this process by turning on my favorite songs and having a dance party to get my intuition flowing.
Right now,
I love dancing to Magic and Me by B.
O.
B.
Throwback,
I know,
But seriously,
That song is so fun and catchy.
Three,
Create space for stillness.
Sometimes,
You need to be quiet to hear that inner voice,
Especially if you have a high-stress lifestyle where you're on the go-go-go.
Practice your meditations and just listen.
Notice any subtle thoughts or feelings that arise.
Four,
Tune into your body.
Your intuition often speaks through your body.
Notice sensations like a gut feeling,
Tightness,
Or a lightness in your chest.
These physical cues can guide you towards or away from certain choices.
Recently,
I've been honing my sense of smell,
Especially when it comes to people.
I know that sounds super weird,
But hear me out.
Some people have a smell that my body absolutely does not like.
And it's not like they smell bad or that they have B.
O.
It's just my body rejects their smell,
And I just take this as a signal that perhaps this person isn't for me.
Five,
Practice asking simple questions.
Throughout your day,
Ask small questions like,
What does my body need today?
And notice the thoughts that come up.
Start small,
And you'll strengthen your trust in your inner voice over time.
To conclude,
Intuition is your birthright.
To conclude,
Intuition is your birthright,
And it's there to guide you towards your highest good.
The more you listen,
The more it will guide you into the flow of life,
To the path of least resistance,
Where you feel lighter and more aligned.
Trust it,
Follow the fun,
And you'll be amazed at where it leads you.
If you have any questions,
Feel free to post them in your review.
I reply to every single comment.
Thank you for tuning in to today's talk,
And remember,
Your intuition is always working for you.
Happy healing.
Love from Dr.
Kim.
