5 Unexpected Ways To Improve Your Intuition
Updated 2025.05.07
Improving your intuition. In this post I discuss how to improve your intuition with a few unexpected ways to open your intuitive gifts -
Intuition is the ability to understand something immediately, to connect with the meaning of something or someone without a need for conscious reasoning. Intuition is allowing the soul to speak and letting the heart listen.
Developing your intuition is about connecting your logic and reasoning to the heart and soul’s messaging.
Connection to the knowing, feeling, seeing, and sensing you have within yourself.
The development of intuition requires a process of getting down to a primal, subtle level of connection to the world around you.
Connection possibilities are all around you.
To develop intuition, below are 5 ways to enhance your psychic gifts in everyday life:
#5 Shift your gaze to a wider perspective
Seeing the world as an observer, as though you are in a classroom, working on a vast experiment helps. When you step back and watch the experiment as a whole, you notice more intricate and influencing factors, then when you strain to look through a microscope at just one element.
Both sharp focus and wide gaze are needed to understand and interpret the entire project.
Walk into any environment and try shifting your sight to a soft gaze; specifically try it next time you’re in a space that’s beautiful.
Open your vision the way you would when taking in a large canyon. Notice what or if you see things differently.
With a soft, relaxed open gaze, you can see auras. You can also see and feel the subtle changes in the environment more easily.
You pick up on cues in your environment that you could never have noticed before solely with softening your gaze outward.
Imagine you’re viewing the Earth or your life through the eyes of your Guardian Angel looking over all.
#4 Open to receive more love
To develop intuitively, we have to allow emotions in, and the most important one is human affection. The intense feeling of human affection and emotion is known as being an empath or the gift of clairsentience. However, we can all open ourselves to this feeling of positive vibes like love and acceptance.
Allowing yourself to feel it helps you fine-tune your intuitive gift.
Ask your Spirit Guides to help you feel love:
I am now asking my Spirit team to help open my heart to feel positive emotions like love, acceptance and joy. I will go about my day looking for opportunities and instances to allow these energies permeate through my body.
Allowing small acts of receiving love to play a natural part of your life opens intuition because it gives your energy sensors time to play and explore in a safe arena.
One of the ways you can start receiving more love is by changing your body language to be more open.
Aligning your chakras to the person you’re talking to can help you connect and tune your chakra field to the current needs right in front of you, allowing you to serve more sincerely.
If you’ve closed your energy field, you can slowly open it this way.
You’ll eventually notice loving energy sent towards you, and pay attention to when this happens and from whom it comes.
These are other intuitively open souls, and they will be compassionate to hang out with.
The more you practice aligning and opening your energy field as you mingle with others, the more you will see the many other types of energy signals people send your direction. This awareness can be illuminating, but it also guides your path.
Imagine a heart energy in your chest and visualize it being sent out from your body as glowing light to another person as you talk to them.
#3 Create space for day dreaming
Try incorporating a period where you are not connected to any strings pulling you. To dream, you need space to do so.
Take an hour or even ten minutes to release your connection from outside influences of television, radio, email, phone calls, or text messages. Release your cords of attachment to all.
Start with a few moments every day where you spend time alone in reflection to day dream about your ideal future life. Ask your Higher Self, “Please show me a glimpse of what’s to come.”
Notice the positive emotions that come forward and the images that emerge.
This exercise gives you space to practice using your clairvoyant gifts for creating your own life.
#2 Say hello to the Spirit in everyone
When we see the Spirit within all, even if we just internally acknowledge it, it opens up a gateway to a person’s soul, giving you an ability to connect psychically to this individual’s highest self.
For one week, internally acknowledge the Spirit within others before physically saying hi.
When greeting someone, simply say internally to the person, “Hello Spirit, I honor the soul in you.”
This will help you spiritually connect with others on this plane, making it easier to connect with those in the non-physical dimensions.
#1 Speak in hopeful, optimistic thinking terms
Hope thinking is an intuitive dream coming from the heart and soul and given time to dance in the mind. By speaking to our optimistic dreams, others around us get access to these ideas.
From here, the intuitions, dreams and true desires of the heart are shared, and when shared, they are more likely to manifest, since others in your soul group usually have a shared dream, they can plan the creation of the dream with you.
Even having an awareness of a shared dream will improve happiness overall, which raises your vibe and a raised vibe is needed to connect with your intuition.
Hopeful, optimistic thoughts are given to us by our Higher Self, Spirit Guides and Angels, so it is the sharing of Divine Messages, and because of this, doing so can bring joy. Plus, when you’re tapped into your Higher Self Energy, your intuition is naturally turned up.
So to recap, 5 ways to open your intuition are:
Shifting your gaze to a wider, bird’s eye view
Open your energy to receive and send love
Create space for day dreaming
Say hello to a person’s Spirit
Speaking in hopeful, optimistic thinking
These activities can open your intuitive gifts to perceiving more non-physical energy, connecting you intuitively with yourself and others.
Best of all, you can do these activities daily as you go about your life, making it a breeze to develop your intuition.
Opening intuition can make your world a more loving place because it opens the heart and returns you to a connection with Source energy, which usually feels similar to embodiment of joy.
Joy is often contagious, so opening intuitively creates a combined benefit of greater happiness for you and those around you, too.
