Develop Your Intuition: 3 Easy Steps
Why Intuition Is Like a Muscle
Intuition is a gift we all possess, but like any muscle, it needs regular exercise to grow stronger. You don’t need hours of meditation or complex rituals to develop it—just 5-10 minutes of intentional practice each day can make a huge difference. Here are three fun and effective ways to strengthen your intuitive abilities and deepen your spiritual connection.
1. Expand Your Intuition with Oracle or Tarot Cards
Create a daily ritual with your favourite oracle or tarot deck. Ask your guides, “What do I need to know today?” Pull three cards from one deck, or one card from multiple decks. Then, engage with the cards in three steps:
- Look: Examine the images closely. Notice what stands out—the colours, symbols, words, animals, or numbers. Write down your initial impressions in a journal.
- Feel: Tune into the emotions each card evokes. Does it feel uplifting or concerning? What does it prompt you to reflect on?
- Listen: Quiet your mind and allow your spirit team’s messages to flow. Write down any words, thoughts, or impressions without overthinking. Review your notes later for deeper insights.
Over time, you’ll find that the same cards can offer new messages depending on your current situation. This practice strengthens your intuition and builds a collaborative relationship with your cards and spirit guides.

2. Spirit Guide Q&A Journaling
Grab a notebook and write down questions you want answers to from your spirit team. As you write, you may start to feel or hear the answers even before you finish your questions. Here’s how to do it:
- Free Write: Allow the answers to flow naturally. Don’t overthink; simply record whatever comes to mind.
- Stay Open: Messages may come as words, symbols, sensations, or even memories. Write everything down, no matter how random it seems.
- Future Journal: Connect with your Higher Self by asking, “What do I need to do today to create the future I desire?” You’ll be amazed by the guidance you receive.
As you practice, your writing may become more fluid and intuitive. You’ll notice that answers come faster and feel more aligned with your true self. With time, this exercise becomes a powerful tool for personal growth and manifestation.
3. Ask Your Guides for a Sign
Spiritual communication is a two-way street, and asking for signs is a great way to strengthen your connection. Sit in meditation and ask your guides to give you a unique sign—a symbol, word, image, colour, animal, or number—that confirms you’re on the right path.
For example, my personal sign is an elephant. Initially, I doubted I’d ever see it, but Spirit had other plans. Elephants began showing up in memes, books, toys, figurines, and even random conversations. Over time, elephants became my symbol of abundance, guidance, and confirmation.
You can use your sign in various ways:
- Decision-Making: Ask for your sign within a specific timeframe to confirm whether a choice is right.
- Reassurance: Look for your sign during times of doubt to know you’re on the right path.
- Awareness: Use your sign to heighten your awareness of Spirit’s presence in your life.
Make Growing Your Intuition Fun
The key to strengthening your intuition is to make these practices enjoyable. When it feels like play rather than work, you’ll naturally want to do it more often. And the more you practice, the stronger your intuitive “muscle” becomes.
By incorporating these simple activities into your daily routine, you’ll deepen your spiritual connection and unlock the incredible potential of your intuition.
