What is Intuition? What are some signs of not trusting your inner knowing? Why do we not trust ourselves? What are some ways to amplify and trust your intuition? Www.VictoriaHaffer.com

Welcome to the You Are the Universe podcast. I'm your host, Victoria Haffer, intuitive healer, and life and body coach with over 20 years of facilitating massive transformation for people and animals. And I'm so flipping glad you're here. Today's topic is intuition. Intuition. There's a lot of talk going on around that lately. Lots of things about how do I create? tap into my intuition, my inner knowing, right? What is intuition? Or what do we even mean when we say

trust your gut instincts? So really what intuition is, is it's that feeling in your gut, in your gut, when you instinctively know that something is right or wrong. You just know that you know. Our intuition, so they say, sits in our right hemisphere of the brain. So the brain is made up of two hemispheres. The right side is your intuition, your creativity, your connection to source and all that there is. Where the left side of the brain is more of that critical mind thinking. Often we tend to be a little more imbalance and tend to spend more time in that side of the brain, in that left side of the brain, overthinking, over processing, over analyzing.

So what are some of the signs that you might see in your life when you're not trusting your inner knowing? Okay, I'll give you a few examples. Constantly asking other people for advice. I see this all the time in local circles, on social media, not trusting your inner knowing. You know, people asking for advice about all kinds of things in their life. And then ultimately, they may not have been listened to that advice anyways. Also, doubting yourself, not trusting your first instinct and saying, oh, that's silly, that's not true.

You know, there's so many things that may come up during that process of the, why am I not listening to my higher self, that part of me that is all knowing, all loving, and non-judging. And so much of that really comes from our upbringing and our childhood and how we were brought up. I mean, think about how often many of us had parents that would say, you know, be careful. Be careful. Like you're leaving the house. And that's the thing they say to you. Be careful. Right.

So we start to think that the universe is a non-trusting place for us. It's dangerous. spending way too much time analyzing or criticizing your own decisions, constantly judging yourself, making yourself wrong for every little thing. Again, this is another sign that kind of lets you know that you're not trusting your inner knowing. And actually believing something outside of you over your own inner knowing, this is the taking your power, this is, you know, the years.

of the dragon activating our sovereign divinity. And that's what this is. This is about us trusting our own inner knowing. When you put your life in other people's hands, your partner, your friends, your family, your teachers, your medical practitioners, thinking somebody, you know, authority figure actually knows more than you do about what you need and what is best for your higher self, for your mind, for your body, for your soul. So as I mentioned earlier, why we don't often trust ourselves has a lot to do with our conditioning and our programming from childhood. And even ancestrally, I mean, especially, you know, think of the cosmic wound for the female,

the divine feminine, and how for so long we were just made wrong and we were, our voices were taken away from us. So it could be super beneficial to clear any old wounds or traumas that are connected to that. So even if you don't know, you know, certainly that's the work that I do with my clients, but you know, you don't need anybody else outside of you, as long as you are setting an intention to heal, to delete, destroy, and uncreate the wounds and the traumas, the experiences, the stories that you bought around your own intuition, your own inner knowing. And so what are some ways that we can amplify and trust our own intuition?

So I would say number one step first and foremost is to step away from the electronics. Unplug. Unplug from your phone, your computers, the TV, right? Each device actually emits a very specific frequency. They can absolutely mess with our own body. Our bodies are made up of two-thirds water. We are actually electrical beings by nature. which is why if you're extremely, you're highly sensitive, HSP, highly sensitive person and or empath, I am both combined, you might notice that you're a little more overwhelmed when you're around large towers and, you know, things like that. So especially so many of the people today

are literally walking around with their smart watches on their wrist, It's just like being nuked by a microwave. Like those frequencies are literally going into your body, as well as if you're putting in the plugless, the headphones, when you're using the Bluetooth headphones, same thing. That frequency, that energy, it's literally like little microwave frequencies going straight to your brain. I don't use any of those things. I do use a phone, and I also use things that will help to it.

absorb the EMS. Certain crystals and things like copper are all amplifiers and help to kind of spread and deter the frequencies, those negative lower frequencies away from your own electronic field, your own EM, your own electromagnetic field. So stepping away from electronics, number one, and then the next step is to get into nature, get into the woods, get into the bodies of water. You know, spend time in your garden, right? Take your, take your shoes and your socks off and stand on the great Mother Earth, Gaia. And just silently or out loud, say to yourself, I'm open to receiving. Divine information, divine wisdom, which is really when we tap into our own inner knowing and we get, you might hear it as channeling or, you know, just get, you know, just get.

getting downloads through a divine source. You are the flipping universe, right? You are the source. So you, you know, we are multidimensional beings who have chosen, literally chosen, via the Akashic records to incarnate into this lifetime at this time, at this extremely powerful time, where things are really happening and changing

and transforming and ascension. And we're all, you know, so many of us are raising up to a higher frequency to support the healing of humanity or on the planet. Right? Planet doesn't need healing. It's the people that live on the planet that actually need the healing.

Right? So we know that. And so, so, you know, tapping into that space of trusting the information that you're getting that flows through you. When you're in a space where you're more in that, as I had said earlier, in that right hemisphere of the brain, where you're connected to all that is,

whatever you believe, source, you know, You know, the divine, the divine mother, the divine father, God, goddess, Jesus, Buddha, whatever Mother Nature, whatever that is, it's all, we're all connected. We're all connected as one. And that has all been proven in, you know, metaphysics and quantum physics and all these things in the science realm. And if you've ever experienced truly a miracle, you know, things like rainbows or watching a butterfly push out of a chrysalis, Just so many things, I'm sure you could sit here and just take a moment. Think about all the small or large miracles that you've experienced in your life and you think,

how the frick did that happen? You know, that's where the magic sits, right? That's where the magic sits in those spaces where you don't have to think about how that thing happened and you just trust and you know that it was just a miracle, right? So another factor that really supports us in amplifying and trusting your own inner knowing is to clear your energy daily, sometimes multiple times in a day. And if you're not used to doing that, I would highly suggest, just like any other new habit or pattern, that you put little sticky notes up around your house, put a reminder on your phone

that goes off every hour throughout the day. Have you cleared your energy today? And it can be very, very simple. I'll actually do another, a future podcast on clearing your energy daily, but very simply, it's really about setting your intention to do that and to empty out and to let anything that came into your electromagnetic field that is not yours, which by the way, FYI, 99.9% of the stuff that sits in your field in that negativity place, irritation, frustration, annoyance, anger, things like that often are not even yours, right?

especially if you are a highly sensitive empath, you are, you know, just think about as being like a big, huge electric, electronic sponge and the frequencies are constantly going through. And so ideally we want to just let things move through us. So we want to observe and not absorb, right? Observe and just notice and notice what's happening. And that brings me back to a past podcast of mine. power of presence. If you haven't listened to that, I highly recommend that you do. But the power of us being present in the moment is actually your greatest superpower that you can have. Everything

that we can change or evolve or transform sits in the present moment, right? The mind wants to keep us in the past, which we often call depression when you get stuck in the past and or in the future, which is often where anxiety sits. anxiety really is it's all about this it's excessive energy with nowhere to go and as one of my former clients stated it she calls it futurejecting so it's really like when you hear about worrying that i've heard this that worrying is like praying for something bad to happen so again everything the power the power is the present moment so clearing your energy daily super powerful you can clear with smush smoke like smudging holo Santo is my favorite you can use sage

you can um use reiki you can just call in your spirit team in the light and just ask you do not need any external tools water is a great way shower in the shower doing a a a divine light shower just imagining that as the water pours over you, that anything that is not of the highest vibration is literally going down the drain. Okay? So there's so many ways that you can clear your energy. Pick something and do it and choose it on a daily basis. Another aspect of amplifying your inner knowing and your divine intuition is to explore your creativity on a daily basis. What does that look like for you. What is your creativity? We all have it. It could be taking pictures in nature. It could be working in the garden. Maybe it's painting. Maybe it's singing. Maybe it's dancing. It could be coloring

in a coloring book. Whatever it is, just take a moment to sort of feed that that inner creative aspect of you, which really the creativity sits typically in our second chakra, a sacral chakra. And that is the water element as well. Our creativity, our emotions. So have fun taking part in that, even if it's just five or ten minutes a day. Give yourself permission to incorporate that into your daily routine. Play more. Just like the dolphins.

The dolphins, and I have a very large spirit team in the animal kingdom. The dolphins in the forefront, the golden dolphin avatars. And any dolphin, any dolphins that you can think. of or bring into your energy or essence, right? You don't have to be, you don't need to be special. People think you have to have these great superpowers to be able to connect and communicate with nature. And all you have to do is be open to it. That's it. It doesn't have to be so flipping hard. We make things too hard and then we don't choose it enough. So play more. Play more. Ask your inner child, what does he or she want to do? And true. And

and play. Play, play, play, play, play. It could be spending time with animals. It could be flying a kite. Again, it could be drawing or coloring. Often your inner child is connected to your creativity in your body, in your mind, in your spirit. Another way to amplify and trust your intuition is to receive Reiki, receive, you know, high level frequency energy. Go to someone like myself. It doesn't have to be me. It could be anyone. there's lots of amazing great healers out there. Just make sure that when you do reach out to them, that you maybe talk to them a little bit about their healing journey and their dark night of the soul. Because I'll tell you this, even though I have been quote unquote healing and supporting people on their healing for over 25 years, I'm still doing my own healing. Every single day I'm constantly doing the work that, what we call the shadow work that sits in the subconscious mind.

That's the, you know, shining a light on the blind spots. That's what a coach does or a mentor does or a healer does for you. At least a good one does anyways. Another way to amplify and trust your intuition is to meditate. Meditation. And meditation, there's so many different styles and traditions of meditation. Again, I have spoken about this on other podcasts. Feel free to check them out.

You know, meditation for people who suck it. Yes. So there's I truly believe and I have found for every single one of my clients and students the perfect meditation for you There's so many different kinds. There's mantra. There's guided. There's walking. There's moving right. So there's There's absolute stillness. It doesn't have to be but that's typically the meditation most people think about initially. They think oh, I get a sit cross-legged I'm comfortable and not think of anything empty my thoughts and you know, you know, sit up tall and just not do anything for 20 minutes. And then if you don't do that, then you're doing it wrong. And there's no benefit to it. So again, delete, destroy, and uncreate anything and everything you know about what you think meditation is and just be open to exploring and finding and

playing with that. Just explore and experience different kinds of meditation. And eventually you're going to find the one that feels right for you. and ultimately connecting to source and your divine self. So again, understanding, I think it's really important to understand. People always say, how do I know if it's my intuition or my higher self that's actually talking to me? Well, I'll tell you this. Your higher self, so we've got your higher self, which is your divine self, which is you from, that's why it's so wise. Because it's you connected to you over all of the parallel lifetimes.

ever experienced. So think about every single lifetime you've experienced, whether it be as a feminine or masculine energy, right, whether you're a man or a woman or maybe an animal, and all of the wisdom that you gain from those lifetimes. When you attune to the level of light and love and that high frequency, and again, we're only human. You're going to do stuff. You're going to eat stuff that is crappy. you're going to say stuff, you're going to think stuff that is not of the highest vibration, and that's okay. Don't judge yourself. Just notice without the judgment, right, and come into that space of neutrality.

And then when you know better, you can be better, right? Overall, it's just, it's an expression of all of our stuff and all aspects of us from our, when we were before birth, small child, baby infant, to, you know, little child and then moving into preteen and teenage and then early 20s. You know, there's all different aspects of us that show up and come out in our lives. And just be open to learning and receiving and then healing those parts of you as they come up. So again, every morning before I wake up, I literally set an intention to be the light, to be a channel, to be open to receiving and perceiving.

divine information, divine wisdom from the universe. Okay, so whatever, whether it be your spirit team in the light, your ancestors, if you're working with any animal totems, perhaps, the wolf ancestors, or the equine ancestors, or maybe it's just your beautiful tree in your backyard or you're really connected to flowers. So they're all the plants, there's so much wisdom in the plant medicine, world as well. So again, so much stuff. And I will be doing future podcasts on every single one of these

things that I talk about so we can go more into depth. So let's take a break. Let's take a breath and just take a big inhale and a big exhale. Open mouth exhales are welcome. And again, and exhale. And so I promise you that whatever aspect of your life is, you, not going the way you wanted to be going. It is because number one, it's not time for you to shift or perhaps you haven't learned that lesson yet. And number two, you're not in the flow. You're not in the flow. When you overthink, overanalyze, over process and do not trust yourself and you constantly put the power in other people's hands, I promise you, divinity will not show up for you. So just take a moment and reflect. And if you have time, perhaps open up your journal. If you're driving, don't worry about it. You can go back to it later.

Just, you know, take a few moments with this information that is swirling around your head these last 20 minutes that we've spent together. And just notice, is there something that really stands out for you? And just take that one thing and take it with you. Right? Bring it with you. Right? Bring it with you every day, every morning. That's why your journal is so powerful so that you can write the things in there and then the next day you can look and say, wow, look how far I've come in 24 hours, 48 hours, in the last week, in the last month, in the last year.

I love to reflect back on some of my past journaling's and just see how far I've grown. So on that note, I am here for you and know that I am available. feel free to reach out if you are interested in doing a private session or two to support you in you stepping into your true intuition, your true personal power and your voice. I love you and remember to be and see the magic in everyday life.
