It can be easy to mistake what we want or what we fear for intuition. Every inner voice is not our true voice, and it takes practice and patience to separate true intuition from our regular internal dialogue.
Often when people become interested in exploring their intuition or developing their natural psychic talents, there is the tendency to get carried away and assume everything that comes from within is the truth. Many times, however, our inner dialogue is anything but intuitive.
We tend to think in verbal patterns and mentally sort our plans or reiterate things that bother or scare us. As a result we can find ourselves inundated by suggestions and ideals that while indeed coming from within are far from being the result of higher thinking.
Most of us can relate to a time when we took action based on urges or notions that turned out to be nothing more than mild neurosis or deeply rooted anxieties. It happens to just about everyone.
You should not become discouraged when you misinterpret strong emotions for intuition. Nor should you be afraid to listen to your inner voice at all because of one or two occasions where you were wrong.
Be reasonable. Despite the fact that you believe in your own psychic awareness, you are likely to misjudge from time to time; you might even have the experience of “going blank” and not being able to sense anything at all!
As I’ve said before there is nothing magic about psychic abilities. Intuition is just a sensory device like hearing or smell so of course it isn’t 100% accurate.
However great care should be taken to still the mind over time so that your intuitive abilities become clearer and less likely to be muddled by other senses. meditation, physical training, and practiced relaxation are all examples of activity that can help us quiet the inner chatter and reveal the true inner wisdom we call intuition.
