Leaning into Intuition

Leaning into Intuition 

When you hear the expression ‘leaning into intuition,’ what does this mean for you? Take a moment if you like and simply reflect. What comes up? Where do you feel it in your body? What emotions are associated with it and what thoughts come to mind? How does your intuition present for you? It could be images, thoughts, words, a general knowing, or something else.

What is Intuition?

There are a number of definitions of intuition, but we can define it as the ability to understand, or to know something instinctively, without the need for conscious reasoning. 

Intuition vs Rational Thinking

While I’ve always drawn on intuition, recently I’ve been increasingly leaning in. As a result, it’s like a muscle that’s strengthening, which is kind of exciting! In the past I would sometimes lean in, and other times lean away, doubting myself. What I realise though is that my intuition is strong and provides great insight, both for me and also for my clients. I also find it helpful to remember that it doesn’t have to be a situation of either/or. That is, it doesn’t have to be either logic and rational thinking, or intuition, but that it can be both/and, both logic, rational thinking, and intuition. It works well when you allow logic, rational thinking and intuition to complement each other, rather than one negating the other. When I reflect on my life, my best decisions, choices and insights have always had at least an element of intuition guiding them.

The Benefits

I find when I really lean into intuition, I connect with people at a deeper level and I have information, ideas, and ways forward accessible to me that I wouldn't otherwise have. This has supported my clients, it’s supported me, and it’s supported the ways we can work together. As a result, I find I consciously access my intuition more and more often. For me this is a combination of remaining open, noticing, and also of asking. When working with coaching and hypnotherapy clients, I may consciously (although silently) ask, what does this person need, or what would help this person, or what does the person need to know. And I often get answers that resonate for them. This isn’t a process of telling, but of simply sharing and allowing them to play with what comes through, as well as supporting them to access their own intuition. 

I’m curious, do you draw on intuition, and if so, what does this enable for you?
