Embracing your Intuition

Letting your Spirit Guide you

When I surrendered to the freedom of the dance floor and allowed my body to move instinctively, I discovered a profound shift within myself. I became more decisive and confident, navigating life’s twists and turns with ease. Big changes felt natural, and I moved with an assured presence, feeling more aligned with the world around me. Over the years, as I let go through dance and reflected on these moments both on and off the floor, I realized that this practice awakened my inner spirit and unlocked my authentic movement. It felt as though I was always in the right place at the right time, connecting with the people who perfectly aligned with my purpose.

Spending more time in nature awakened a deeper sense of my own authentic spirituality, intuitively guiding me toward what I later came to recognize as Animism. Through this spiritual awakening, I began to understand that everything contains a spirit—a unique consciousness. I realized that since all things are formed from Mother Earth, they carry the planet's essence, and we, as human beings, have a special relationship with this universal consciousness. We possess the ability to communicate with it, shaping our reality to create either Heaven on Earth or, depending on our intentions, even Hell on Earth.

"Animism is the belief that all things in nature—whether living beings like animals and plants or seemingly inanimate objects like rocks, rivers, mountains, and even weather patterns—carry a spirit or life force. In animism, everything in the natural world has a kind of consciousness or soul, meaning it’s interconnected and alive in its own way." - passage from Creating Opulence

As I continued on this path and connected with members of my city’s art and spirituality community, I was introduced to divination practices like tarot cards and pendulums. My belief that everything carries a consciousness—and that when we are in tune, the Earth collaborates with us—profoundly shaped my proficiency in these practices. One of my first explorations was page pulling: selecting a random book, asking a question, and intuitively opening to a page. There were moments after deep meditations when I felt the questions or visions resonate throughout my entire being. In those instances, I would move from book to book, page to page, discovering that every passage was a conversation with the Universe itself.

Here are a couple of Intuition Strengthening exercises taken from Creating Opulence that you can practice at home, and also apply in your own life whenever you are looking for guidance.

1. Pendulum Practice

• Objective: Strengthen your connection to your intuition while using the pendulum as a tool.

• Materials Needed:

• Exercise: Hold the pendulum in your dominant hand and ask simple yes/no questions, ensuring your mind is calm and receptive before starting. Observe the direction it swings in response to your question—clockwise for yes, counterclockwise for no (or however you intuitively define it).

• Reflection: After a few rounds, pause and take a moment to feel into the why behind your responses, asking yourself if you were truly guided by your intuition or if you were relying on external validation. If it feels forced, try setting the pendulum aside and seeing what your body or feelings tell you.

  
  

2. Card Deck Feeling Exercise

• Objective: Strengthen your ability to tap into your intuition without relying on visual cues.

• Materials Needed:

• Exercise: Shuffle a deck of cards (tarot, oracle, or regular playing cards) and without looking, take one card from the deck. Close your eyes and feel the card—try to intuit the number, suit, or energy it holds. Trust the first impression that comes to mind.

• Reflection: After you’ve selected the card, reveal it and see how close your intuition was. Over time, try this exercise with different types of cards and notice if the quality of your intuition shifts or improves. The goal is to see how much you can trust your immediate feelings before the external validation (seeing the card) interferes.

I’ve also included a page from the Activity Book of Creating Opulence. As you awaken your intuitive powers, they can sometimes rush in like a tidal wave. If you can, take a moment to jot down your insights, because life moves quickly, and it’s important to capture the magic the Universe is sending your way. Remember, the Universe wants you to live your best life because your highest potential elevates the entire collective. Mother Earth offers us clues on how to restore beauty and harmony to the planet. If you're reading this, it’s likely that you've opened yourself to the Earth’s wisdom and your role in helping bring balance back to the world.

In terms of Angel Numbers, if you begin noticing recurring numbers, pay attention to what you're doing, thinking, or speaking at the time. These numbers often act as reminders or signals, helping you assess whether you're on the right path. Is this rooted in science? Not necessarily—it's more belief-based. However, when you embrace this belief and start noticing these signs, whether they are from the Universe or simply patterns you’re becoming aware of, your subconscious is guiding your attention. In this way, it’s your intuition trying to communicate with you.

Common Angel Numbers and Their Meanings

111 – New beginnings, alignment with your higher self. The Universe is aligning with your intentions.

222 – Balance and harmony. Trust that everything is working out for your highest good.

333 – Ascended Masters are surrounding you, offering protection and guidance.

444 – Protection and support. Angels are with you, ensuring you are safe and on the right path.

555 – Change is coming. Be open to new opportunities and trust the process.

666 – Reflection on your thoughts and intentions. Focus on balance and redirect negative thinking.

777 – Spiritual awakening and divine intervention. You’re in perfect alignment with your soul’s path.

888 – Abundance and financial prosperity. The flow of wealth is on its way.

999 – Completion. A cycle is coming to an end, preparing you for the next chapter.

000 – A reminder of unity and connection with the Universe. You are part of a greater whole.

Here's a bit of a warning, however: sharpen these divination skills, yes, but also be very careful not to form a dependency on them, or lose your belief that you can make decisions on your own without the validation of something outside of yourself. When I awakened my own intuition, it felt so good to be able to just be me and live every moment with full confidence in my decisions. And when I was introduced to these tools, or when the Universe started to send me signs in numbers, songs or just random people talking on the street, I was CONSTANTLY looking for signs to make sure I was on the right path. Once you see the sign, run with it - do not be constantly looking for reassurance, because at some point, just like a partner that has lost all patience, the Universe will stop giving you the signs in order to help you find confidence in yourself again.

As you hone your intuition, you unlock the pathways to expressing yourself more authentically, allowing you to create in alignment with the guidance of the Universe. May you continue to open yourself to your intuition, and begin shaping the world around you to mirror the beauty that resides within!

One Love!!
