Our intuition is a powerful ally, and can be the foundation for living our lives with connection, energy, and integrity. Although so many people desire to live intuitively, I also hear often from those who struggle to connect. This is a common experience in our modern world, and is by no means a sign that you don’t have an intuition, or will never form a relationship with it. When you’re feeling stuck and like you can’t access your gut, you may be experiencing one of the barriers that I’ll flesh out in this blog.

Modern life keeps us in our heads most of the day, planning grocery lists, leading meetings, and fretting over existential dread. We have so many demands placed on us that it can be easy to lose connection to our intuition. Living intuitively is the key to finding peace and balance in a chaotic world, but connecting to our gut can feel difficult when we’re stressed, overscheduled, and disconnected from our bodies.

Thankfully, forming a relationship to your intuition is not as difficult as it may sound if you’ve never done it before. This blog will teach you a few ways the strengthen your access to intuition that are simple, reliable, and powerful.

Intuition is not just an abstract concept reserved for séances and tarot readings, but is actually an important function of the brain and the nervous system that is crucial to our ability to survive. Beyond basic survival, we have scientific evidence to suggest that intuition helps us to make better decisions in our daily lives. In fact, analytical overthinking can actually hinder our decision-making process, and lead to less satisfaction with outcomes.

Intuition is a natural, guiding intelligence that speaks to us through out bodies. Our intuition is an inherent gift and connection to “Source” that every one of us possess from our birth. It grows and develops as we live our lives and gain experience, but our intuition is always a part of who we are.

If you are like many of my clients, you are a person who is pursuing self-improvement, healing, and growth through a variety of pathways. While on this journey, many people find themselves wondering if they have to choose between spirituality and therapy. The truth is that you don’t have to choose. Spiritual connection and development can go hand-in-hand with more (or less) traditional therapy. In fact, the more that I dive into all of these channels, the more I see common threads. Three approaches that I see as being fundamentally connected but different in their approach are CBT, EMDR, and the Law of Attraction. 

The gut microbiota is essential not only to our physical health, but to our mental and emotional health as well. The gut microbiota helps connect us with our intuition, and communicates constantly with the brain through the vagus nerve. Learn more in this blog about what some people think of as our “second brain.”

In a world that constantly asks us to produce, strive, and achieve and simultaneously experiences epidemic levels of anxiety, depression and burnout, I have found another way. A way that is far more generative, kinder, and joyful. That way is through REST. 

Polyvagal theory helps to explain the way that our nervous systems influence us throughout our days and how we can work with those systems for better mental and physical health and wellbeing.

Being a highly-sensitive person, or HSP, can feel like a lot to handle. This blog lays out what it means to be an HSP, common traits and experiences for HPSs, and how to leverage your sensitivity to improve your life and impact the world.

Intuitive guidance comes in many forms, and is an incredibly powerful source when we’re able to connect. This blog helps readers to tune into intuitive guidance through three different pathways: trust in the path, trust in self, and trust in the Universe.

We often hear about the concept of “mindfulness,” but awareness of what’s going on with our bodies is just as important as being aware of our thoughts. Our bodies are powerful messengers that connect us to our intuition. Learn more in this blog about connecting with your body as a guide.
