Many people mistakenly believe that intuition is something only woo-woo people use about airy-fairy subjects.

As a medical intuitive and someone who trains others how to develop their own psychic gifts, I can report first hand that intuition is highly practical.

I have used intuition:

• To know when to buy and when to sell – stocks, mutual funds, houses, clothes, furniture.
• To know who to hire and for what purposes they will be most helpful and who to avoid.
• To know who to study with and who has major integrity issues, even if nobody else can figure it out yet.
• To know when it’s time to push and when it’s time to release.
• To know what will actually work to make my body healthier.
• To know when to stay and when it’s time to move on.
• When to go to the garden center because my favorite flowers, of which there are only a few, have just arrived.
• And so on.

In short, having these gifts has made me wealthier, healthier and happier.

Years ago, I studied with a lady who used slot machines to practice her intuitive gifts.

To her, it was sort of a game – when was the slot machine “hot” and when it was best to continue walking down the line in the casino to tune in to the next opportunity.

Practicing in this way – making a game out of your intuition – is actually a great way to begin because you don’t take yourself too seriously.

You allow your guidance to drop in, see what it feels like when you get a hit about something and what it also feels like when you don’t receive anything, sort of a blank.

In my recent Amazon No. 1 best seller, What Is Healing? Awaken Your Intuitive Power for Health and Happiness, I teach you how to open these gifts.

One of the things that hold many people back from opening these gifts is the idea that you might possibly be weird, soft, impractical or even wrong if you followed your guidance over your ego.

Because our intuition is knowing, seeing, hearing and feeling with our soul, the kind of information we receive in this manner is often much more helpful than what we can figure out with our intellect alone.

Believe me, I use my gifts in a very hard-nosed way to get ahead in every area of my life.

I use my gifts every day in my work as a medical intuitive, of course. In this case, I use these special senses for the benefit of other people.

But here is something important to note: if you use your gifts primarily for others and not for yourself you will actually develop an energy imbalance.

You will feel drained and not understand why.

To open up your gifts to their fullest degree, you need to practice using your claircognizance, clairaudience, clairvoyance and clairsentience for yourself. Just for you!

Why is this so important?

Using your intuition for your own benefit, to live your life to the fullest, is important because these are messages from your very soul.

What is healing? Healing happens when we listen to our soul and heed the messages we receive in all areas of our life.
