Why its Difficult to Listen to Your Intuition

You're seeing angel numbers 🎱🎱🎱 and manifesting little things left and right, but why does it feel hard to feel like you are directly communicating with spirit and following your intuition👁? For those who identify as emotionally sensitive, you have a great gift of tuning into other's energies and tending to their needs. Like calling a friend out of the blue to check in on them and then finding out they were going through something and needed your support 💕. While this truly is a gift and often why emotional sensitive people become healers or devote their lives to a career of service, it often comes with some baggage.

Let me reiterate that your emotional sensitivity is a gift. However, every gift can feel like a curse if you don't know how to authentically use it 😵‍💫. Nearly every woman who has come to me with a deep desire to tune into her intuitive gifts and become an energy healer 🤲 feels like they are blocked intuitively. This blocks shows up in many different forms: chronic conditions, emotionally depressed 😩, feeling stuck, unclear intuitive messages, not manifesting the 'big' things, etc. How can this be when they have spent their life being exquisitely sensitive?

The answer is simple, they have yet to learn the harsh lesson of creating boundaries 👋🏻. They have lived a life of tuning into other's needs and wants, and therefore, subconsciously collected the weight of their challenges 🏋🏻 and obstacles as their own. Their needs and wants have then become so enmeshed with others, that it is hard to differentiate between who they are and what they need from everyone else they care for in their lives. When it comes to being able to see what is truly right for them and trusting their intuition, it feels muddy. You may think that turning right is for your best good. But are you choosing that path because it is right for you or because it will make other's happy 🤔?

I know creating boundaries sounds like a broken record in our wellness world, so I am going to break it down by just taking one simple step today. The first step is to recognize that you are emotionally sensitive. As our yogic philosophy says, awareness first. Observe the ways you take on other's emotional needs and wants in your life 🧘🏼‍♀️. This step can be difficult because it is intangible. You may think that taking on other's burdens happens only on a physical level of giving financial support 🤑or performing acts of service, but it is equally, if not more heavy, to take on someone else's emotional burden. Do you find yourself worrying about others? Does your mind spin 🫣 trying to think of resolutions for their problems and advising them through it? This is your precious energy being consumed ⏳.

This may feel even more confusing for healers who hold space for others. When your gift is being able to support other's through their obstacles, your identity is tied to how you are valued in your relationships. Before you jump to cutting off everyone in your life that you provide free emotional support for, stay with the first step of awareness. How do you feel after hanging out and talking to the people in these relationships? Do you feel energized or drained 🤔? 

While this seems simple, it can often come with heartbreak 💔 to recognize that you need to change the relationship dynamic with the people you love and care about most. However, once you master this step, it then becomes crystal clear of where and who you need to start creating boundaries with. These conversations and actions may not always be easy, but they will connect you back to yourself and actually deepen the relationships you value most. For the true ones who were meant to be in your life will stay because they love you unconditionally 💜 and not based on what you do for them. Even better, your intuitive gifts will blossom and you will become an even better guide than you were before 🤩.
