Two of the most frequently asked questions I receive as an intuitive energy healer is…
“How do I strengthen intuition?”
“How do I connect with my angels and guides?”
Connection with my own angel team and intuition came through a heart-awakening which led to my journey into self-discovery and inner healing.
The connection opened suddenly and naturally. But, since then I’ve learned some tips from my angel team on how to both open, and cultivate a strong connection with our angels at the same time as strengthening intuition.
Here’s what I’ve learned helps:
Ground your energy, and practice good energy hygiene (clear energy from you that is not yours).
Get your energy flowing with adequate hydration with water, moderate exercise or movement, and/or breath work before you meditate or connect.
Open the line of communication. Begin by stating clearly your intention to communicate with your angels, and to only connect with loving energy. Talk to your angels (aloud or in your head), ask questions, write in a journal, or learn automatic (channelled) writing to open a clear channel for guidance.
Schedule time each day to connect. A routine for daily connection strengthens the relationship fast, it becomes a beautiful ritual and supports the feeling of inner safety.
Make space for it, literally and figuratively. Clutter in our our mind, body, soul, and outer environment can impede inner connection. Since everything is energy, less clutter means less energy interference.
Create a sacred space for connection, a quiet place to sit and receive. Create a space that is clutter free, maybe add a few of your favourite crystals (cleansed and charged) and some colourful favourite items to create a calming and uplifting ambiance.
Rely less on seeking guidance from external sources. We all do it, it is a learned habit to seek outside advice. Just be mindful to notice how much you outsource guidance as this overrides your own inner guidance system and signals a lack of trust in your inner resources.
Follow the guidance you receive. Act on the intuitive nudges. The channel of inner communication can go quiet if we are not trusting and following guidance we receive. It’s ok to ask for more clarity, and we have free will to make our own choices, but if we continually ask for guidance and don’t follow it our angels tend to take a step back.
Angels are your peers, part of your team. As much as you are in awe of them, they are in awe of us, the ones living through the challenges of the human experience. Remember to regularly offer gratitude for the relationship you have with them and the unconditional love they have for you.
Things That Disconnect Us
Fear - emotions of fear, despair, depression, grief, feelings of powerlessness can block the channel.
Lack of trust or belief
An overactive mind, overwhelming thoughts, anxiety. Connection requires presence, stillness, a quiet mind
Inconsistent practise
I developed a relationship with my angels and guides through a daily intuitive practice of oracle cards and self-Reiki. Reiki cleanses and opens inner energy channels connecting us to universal life force energy and higher states of conscious awareness, and oracle cards are a simple, fun visual aid and tool that helps facilitate seeking answers from within in a material (physical) and comprehensible way.
My practice became stronger when I started to communicate not only to ask for guidance, but to offer my gratitude too for the connection, for the signs, and support I receive in unexpected ways. The key is in always keeping an open, sovereign line of inner communication. Seeking answers from within.
If you are seeking to create your own daily oracle card practice, but don’t know where to begin, I created a resource to help you.
My “Angels & Oracle Cards Guidebook” is a simple, step-by-step guide to help you create your own sacred daily intuitive practice.
