Six Steps for
Thriving Intuitively
Growing and strengthening your self-awareness and living from your inner intelligence is essential to living with purpose, ease, joy, and abundance. The first section of this book gave you a deep and wide understanding of your intuition, insight, and instinct, creating a palpable grounding for your path.
In part two, I’ll be explaining six ways to fortify the bond to your inner self with practical, hands-on, playful, and soulful ideas, exercises, rituals, and inspiration. There are also plenty of stories to show you how this process has unfolded in my life and in the lives of others.
This is a fluid map, not a strict six-step methodology, so I encourage you to embrace this approach in whatever way you desire. Play with the suggestions and don’t get too attached to what I do or how I do it. Just follow what feels best for you and your wise heart.
Here are the essentials of the six steps:
Breathe: Connecting within begins with conscious and calm breathing to bring you into the present, precious moment.
Surrender: Letting go of whatever is unwanted, toxic, or negative in your life will create nourishment for your intuition to powerfully bloom, safety for your instinct to be grounded, and space for your insight to receive enlightenment.
Connect: Developing uninhibited ways to lovingly connect to all parts of you—as well as to Spirit—opens the inner and outer channels to receive wisdom, love, and healing.
Trust: Having real confidence and faith in your truth will strengthen your connection and allow it to expand infinitely.
Honor: Following through and actioning what your inner wisdom has asked of you is crucial. Knowing without doing creates a block to intuitive progress.
Nourish: Taking care of your whole being with love, gentleness, and respect is essential for your mind, body, and energy to grow in alignment with your Highest Self.
Each step is valuable as you open to new ways of living from your heart.
With a little practice, the processes that I describe in detail in the chapters that follow will become effortless rituals that you can come to at any time. Remember, you are immensely intuitive already. With each of these steps, you’re shining brighter with the luminous energy of your true self.
