I have been dabbling in Intuition and trying to figure out how to tap into mine as I feel this is the heart of where my higher-self and where guidance from above comes from. By dabbling, I’ve been reading about what Intuition is and have come to experience it as a ‘knowing.” I know my intuition is at work all the time, but I am not fully aware yet how and in what ways. I also know that I can practice tapping into this channel of energy through being still and relaxed.
One thing I’ve noticed is that things come to me in the forms of questions and answers – words. I get caught up in thinking that if things are coming to me as words then it is just my mind and not my intuition. I said to my therapist the other day, I really want to learn how to FEEL this stuff. I want to tap into that side of me; ‘know’ it by feeling it. I want this to help me develop into a more loving compassionate person.
Words just came to me…”You must first learn how to not take on other’s energy.”
I’m processing this. I tend to analyze and seek to understand the connections behind the words that come to me. My first thoughts – how cool to have those words come to me while I’m typing something completely different – the divine speaking to me and then me being aware of it. :) I don’t quite understand the meaning fully but I know that I can easily take on the emotions of someone else. Even with this ability, I have a hard time being a true empath. Even in the moment of taking on those emotions, I’m unable to really understand and act as if I know what it’s like to be in their shoes. So if they are sad, I can feel my energy go lower and my mood change yet my actions are not ones of understanding and compassion to their needs. Perhaps taking on that lower energy doesn’t allow me to come from a balanced energy to really respond to their needs. Hmm…this is a good one for a therapy session.
I feel those words though are saying before I can really learn how to feel the stuff with my intuition, I must learn not to absorb other’s energies into my body. Not sure how these are related but in time I will.
I must tell you that as I write this post I feel I’m being guided. I love the spiritual world. It’s filled with so many things that will continue to wow me and encourage me to continue digging deeper.

So this post is titled Mental Intuitive. I planned on sitting down and briefly sharing that my dabbling in intuition has led me to the book “Discover your Psychic Type.” Sherrie Dillard tells us that although we can access intuition through a variety of ways, we tend to naturally receive it more often in one or two forms out of the four. The intuitives are Mental, Spiritual, Emotional, Physical. By understanding what our natural tendency is, this can help us learn how to receive and become aware of our intuitive messages. After taking a short test, I’ve learned that I’m a Mental Intuitive followed by Spiritual. As I read how the Mental Intuitive works, I laughed aloud a few times. Sometimes I feel like someone is playing a joke on me as I read the intimate details about myself that ring true. One thing about the Mental Intuitive is the need to understand, explain, and piece together. As noted above, I received a message and immediately went into dissection mode. It isn’t my natural tendency to ‘feel’ it and just sit with it like an Emotional Intuitive would.
I’m excited to read more about the Mental Intuitive so I can strengthen my first gift and let that lead me to strengthening the others.
Feeling grateful for connections into this very real place.
