We all have a profound, built-in gift: the ability to tune into life’s energy and hear the whispers of our Spirit guiding us. I call this gift intuitive reading, and it’s a natural skill we each possess. For over fifty years, I’ve practiced and taught others to read life accurately, and it’s my joy to guide you in awakening and strengthening this skill within yourself. No matter what you seek— clarity, healing, or a deeper connection to your spirit—your intuition is here, ready to lead you forward.

You don’t need a “special gift” to read intuitively. You only need the willingness to pay attention to what you already feel, see, and sense, and the courage to trust it. In my new book, Read Life Accurately, I show you how to use both your inner and outer senses to make empowered, Spirit-led choices that elevate your life and help you gain deeper insights into your own life. The book also aids in developing your intuitive abilities and enhancing your personal growth and self-discovery. 

What is Intuitive Reading?

Intuitive reading is the art of tuning into your own knowing, reaching beyond the noise of daily life to connect with your Spirit’s guidance. Our intuition speaks in many ways—through a sense of calm, a gut feeling, an unexpected insight, or even a sudden image or word that enters our mind. Each of us experiences intuitive messages uniquely, and learning to trust these subtle signals is the first step to living with intention and flow.

How It Works: When you practice intuitive reading, you’re learning to access your intuitive powers, moving out of your ego’s limitations and into the vast awareness of your Spirit. This allows you to notice synchronicities and interpret the messages life is constantly sending your way. And anyone can develop this skill; it simply takes an open mind, a receptive heart, and a little practice.

Types of Intuitive Readings:

Intuitive reading is versatile, allowing you to explore different approaches and discover what resonates most with you:

• Reading Energy Fields: Tune into the “feeling” of a person or space to sense the emotional atmosphere around you.
• Oracle Card Reading: Use oracle cards to receive visual guidance and clarity in any situation.
• Meditative Intuition: Access insight during meditation, allowing your mind to quiet so your inner voice can emerge.

Trust that your intuition knows the right path for you—one step at a time.

Common Types of Intuitive Readings

We all connect with our intuition differently. Here are some ways to begin identifying your unique intuitive style:

Physical Sensations and Gut Feelings

Often, our body is the first to receive intuitive information. A flutter in your stomach or a sense of peace or tension can offer valuable insight. For example, during a client session, I once felt a sudden tightness in my stomach just as she spoke. This was my body’s way of alerting me that she was holding back. Our physical cues are often the gateway to developing intuitive abilities, which can lead to deeper understanding and personal growth.

Reading the Energy of a Room

When you walk into a room, you can immediately feel its energy—whether it’s joyful, tense, or warm. This is your intuition reading the room. Sensing the energy of a room can also help you release blocked energy, allowing you to process and transmute stagnant energies.

Tip: The next time you enter a space, pause and take a moment to notice. Do you feel welcome, uneasy, or energized? Begin jotting these observations down. With practice, you’ll find that these “first impressions” are your Spirit’s way of guiding you.

Using Oracle Cards

Oracle cards are a beautiful tool to bring insight and clarity to any situation. I love working with my Trust Your Vibes Oracle Cards, which offer guidance when things feel unclear. Just shuffle, draw a card, and notice what stands out. Trust what you feel—this is your Spirit guiding you.

Using Oracle Cards is a Great Way to Connect to Your Spirit Guides

Developing Your Own Unique Intuitive Style

Your intuition is entirely unique to you, shaped by your experiences and your soul’s journey. Each person has their own unique style of intuitive reading, making the practice highly personal and individualized. Here’s a quick guide to different intuitive traits and how to nurture each:

Take time to explore which traits resonate with you and practice developing them.

How to Conduct an Intuitive Reading

Every reading is an opportunity to connect with your higher self. Here’s a simple approach:

1. Settle In: Begin with a few deep breaths, clear your mind, and set a gentle intention for guidance.
2. Tune In: Notice what arises—thoughts, feelings, images. Let them flow without forcing meaning.
3. Reflect: Afterward, take a moment to reflect on what you received. Write down any insights. These notes can serve as valuable guidance for the days ahead.

The Benefits of Intuitive Reading: Gain Deeper Insights

Intuitive reading does more than just help you glimpse the future; it provides deeper insights into your life, enhancing self-discovery and self-empowerment. It opens you to a deeper awareness of yourself and the life you’re creating.

• Clarity and Direction: Intuitive readings bring clarity around choices and challenges.
• Release and Healing: Tuning into your intuition can help release past trauma and open pathways for healing.
• Self-Empowerment: By acting on your intuition, you align with your highest self, free from the constraints of overthinking.

Embracing Self-Discovery and Self-Empowerment

Exploring your intuitive gifts is a journey of self-discovery that helps you access your own intuitive powers. It leads to a better understanding of your life purpose, guides you through karmic cycles, and empowers you to make choices that align with your true self.

Encouragement to Practice: Practice will strengthen your skills even if you’re highly sensitive or uncertain. Remember, intuitive guidance doesn’t override your free will—it enhances it, helping you make more aligned choices.
