How Can I Trust My Intuition When Anxiety Feels Exactly the Same?

You're standing at a crossroads. Maybe it's a job offer that checks all the logical boxes but something in your gut whispers no. Maybe it's a relationship that looks perfect on paper, yet you can't shake an uneasy feeling. Maybe it's a decision about where to live, what to pursue, who to trust—and your body is sending signals you can't decode.

Your stomach tightens. Your heart races. Your mind spins through scenarios. But here's the question that keeps you paralyzed: Is this my intuition warning me, or is this just my anxiety lying to me again?

If you've ever found yourself trapped in this confusion, you're not alone. This is perhaps the most fundamental struggle for anyone trying to develop their spiritual gifts, especially if you've lived with anxiety. Both intuition and anxiety speak through your body. Both create physical sensations. Both can feel urgent, important, true.

The difference between them isn't always obvious. But it is learnable.

Your intuition hasn't abandoned you just because anxiety is loud. You're not broken because you second-guess yourself. You're simply trying to hear a quiet whisper in a room where someone is shouting. Once you understand the distinct language each one speaks, you can finally stop questioning every gut feeling and start trusting the guidance that's been there all along.

Why Intuition and Anxiety Feel Identical in Your Body

Let's start with what makes this so confusing: intuition and anxiety both speak through the same communication system—your gut-brain axis.

This isn't metaphor. This is anatomy.

Your gut contains approximately 500 million neurons—more than your spinal cord—forming what scientists call the enteric nervous system, often referred to as your "second brain." This neural network communicates constantly with your brain through the vagus nerve, that wandering highway of electrical signals that connects your belly to your mind.

When you experience a "gut feeling," you're experiencing actual neurological activity in your intestinal nervous system. Your gut produces the same neurotransmitters as your brain—serotonin, dopamine, GABA. In fact, about 90% of your body's serotonin is manufactured in your gut, not your brain.

Here's where it gets tricky: anxiety also manifests through this gut-brain connection. When your nervous system perceives threat—real or imagined—it triggers your sympathetic response. Your stomach tightens. Your digestion pauses. Blood flows away from your organs and toward your muscles, preparing you to fight or flee. These sensations are virtually identical to the physical experience of intuition.

Both create:

• Stomach sensations (butterflies, knots, dropping feeling)

• Changes in breathing patterns

• Heightened awareness and alertness

• Physical tension or activation

• Urgency to act or retreat

So when someone tells you to "just trust your gut," they're giving you half the equation. Your gut is speaking constantly. The question is: which part of your gut are you hearing?

The difference comes down to the quality of the signal, not the presence of sensation.

Research in neurocardiology—the study of the heart-brain connection—reveals something fascinating. The HeartMath Institute has documented that your heart generates an electromagnetic field detectable several feet from your body. When you're in what they call "coherence"—a state of calm, ordered heart rhythm—this field becomes organized and harmonious. This coherent state is associated with intuitive insights, clear decision-making, and access to wisdom beyond logical analysis.

When you're anxious, your heart rhythm becomes erratic and disordered. The electromagnetic signal becomes chaotic. Your body is broadcasting static, not clarity.

This is why anxiety feels so loud while intuition often feels quiet. Anxiety is dysregulation. Intuition is coherence. Both create sensation, but one is noise and the other is signal.

Understanding this changes everything. You're not trying to decide whether to trust a feeling or not. You're learning to identify which type of feeling you're experiencing. That distinction is what we'll explore next.

The 7 Unmistakable Signs You're Hearing Intuition (Not Anxiety)

Learning to distinguish intuition from anxiety is like learning to identify different instruments in an orchestra. At first, it all sounds like "music." With practice, you recognize the distinct voice of the violin versus the cello, the flute versus the oboe. Once you know what to listen for, the difference becomes obvious.

Here are the seven markers that separate intuitive knowing from anxious thinking:

1. Calm Certainty vs. Frantic Urgency

Intuition arrives with a quality of calm, even when the message itself might be uncomfortable. It's not desperate or panicked. It simply is. There's a steadiness to it, like gravity—undeniable but not aggressive.

When therapists who work with anxiety disorders describe the difference, they consistently point to this quality. Intuition says, "This path feels right" or "Something is off here" with the emotional neutrality of stating a fact. Anxiety screams, "What if everything goes wrong? You need to figure this out RIGHT NOW or disaster will strike!"

The distinction isn't about whether the feeling is positive or negative. Intuitive warnings can feel serious and important. But even intuitive warnings lack the frantic, catastrophizing quality of anxiety. Intuition informs. Anxiety terrifies.

2. Present-Focused vs. Future-Catastrophizing

Intuition operates in present-moment awareness. It responds to what is, not what might be. When you feel an intuitive pull away from a situation, it's based on information your subconscious is processing right now—subtle cues in body language, energy, tone, environment.

Anxiety lives in imagined futures. It specializes in "what if" scenarios, each more dramatic than the last. "What if I take this job and hate it and can't pay my bills and end up alone and..." The spiral continues, building a catastrophic narrative about events that haven't happened and may never happen.

Ask yourself: Is this feeling about right now, or is it about a story I'm telling myself about the future?

3. Expansive vs. Contracting

Here's a body-based test that rarely fails: Intuition, even when it's guiding you away from something, creates a sense of expansion somewhere in your body. You might feel your chest open, your breath deepen, a sense of space or lightness, even if the message is "no" or "not this."

Anxiety creates contraction. Your body literally shrinks inward. Your shoulders curl forward. Your stomach tightens into a knot. Your breathing becomes shallow. Everything clenches.

This isn't about positive versus negative emotions. It's about the direction of energy. Does this feeling make you feel more open or more closed? More spacious or more trapped?

4. Arises in Silence vs. Arises in Stress

Pay attention to when the feeling appears. Intuitive insights typically arrive during quiet moments—in the shower, on a walk, just before sleep, during meditation, in nature. They emerge when your conscious mind relaxes and your deeper knowing can surface.

Anxiety spikes in response to triggers. It shows up when you're already stressed, when you've been ruminating, when you're in fight-or-flight mode. It's reactive, not receptive.

If you notice a "gut feeling" only appears when you're already activated and anxious, that's probably anxiety hijacking your intuitive channel. If the same knowing persists even when you're completely calm and grounded, that's intuition.

5. Consistent Over Time vs. Fluctuates With Mood

Intuition is remarkably stable. If something is genuinely an intuitive knowing, it will persist regardless of your emotional state. You might try to talk yourself out of it, rationalize it away, or ignore it—but it remains, quietly insistent, like a pebble in your shoe.

Anxiety fluctuates wildly based on your nervous system state. You might feel certain about something when you're tired or stressed, but when you're well-rested and calm, the "certainty" evaporates. That's anxiety, not intuition.

Try the "time test": If possible, sleep on it. If the knowing is still there in the morning, especially after you've eaten, rested, and grounded yourself, it's more likely intuitive. If it's gone or dramatically different, it was probably anxiety.

6. Feels Like "Knowing" vs. Feels Like "Worrying"

Intuition has a quality of simple knowing. You might not be able to explain why you know something, but you know it. It's not accompanied by elaborate mental justifications or lengthy internal debates. It just... is.

Anxiety is characterized by obsessive thinking. It needs to figure things out, analyze all angles, create backup plans for the backup plans. The mental chatter is relentless. You're not knowing—you're overthinking.

As one psychologist explained, "The main difference is that intuition is really about sensing something, it's not really thinking about it. Anxiety is often sort of about overthinking something."

If your mind won't stop spinning about it, that's thinking, not intuiting.

7. Aligns With Values vs. Driven By Fear

This is perhaps the most reliable distinction of all. Intuition guides you toward alignment with your deepest values, even when that path is difficult or scary. It might say "leave this job" because you know it's eroding your integrity, not because you're afraid.

Anxiety is rooted in fear—fear of loss, rejection, failure, pain, uncertainty. It wants to control outcomes, seek guarantees, avoid discomfort at all costs. When you examine the feeling closely, you find fear at its core.

Ask yourself: If I follow this feeling, does it take me toward what I value most, or away from what I fear most? The answer reveals which voice you're hearing.

The Body Scan: A Practice to Distinguish Intuition from Anxiety

Knowledge is powerful, but practice is transformative. Here's a simple three-step process you can use right now, and every time you face a decision where you're unsure which voice to trust.

Step 1: Pause and Ground (2 minutes)

Before you can hear intuition clearly, you need to create the conditions for it to speak. This means calming your nervous system enough to distinguish signal from noise.

Find a quiet space where you won't be interrupted. Sit comfortably with your feet flat on the floor. Place one hand on your heart and one on your belly.

Close your eyes. Take three slow, deep breaths—inhaling for a count of four, holding for four, exhaling for six. The extended exhale activates your parasympathetic nervous system, signaling safety to your body.

Feel your feet on the ground. Notice the chair supporting you. Bring yourself fully into this present moment. You're not trying to make anything happen. You're simply creating space for truth to emerge.

Step 2: Ask the Question and Scan Your Body (3 minutes)

Now, with your body calm and grounded, bring to mind the decision or situation you're seeking clarity about. Don't think about it—just hold it gently in your awareness like you're looking at a photograph.

Ask yourself one simple question: "What feels true for me?"

Then scan your body systematically:

Start with your gut. Not your thoughts about your gut, but the actual physical sensation in your abdomen. Is there tightness? Openness? Heaviness? Lightness? Just notice, without judgment.

Move to your heart and chest. Does this area feel open or closed? Expansive or contracted? Notice your breathing—has it deepened or become more shallow?

Check your throat. Is there tension here, or does it feel clear? (Your throat often holds the truth you're afraid to speak.)

Notice your shoulders and jaw. Are they clenched or relaxed?

Sense your overall energy. Does your body want to move toward or away from this situation? Do you feel pulled forward or do you feel yourself subtly backing away?

Pay special attention to the quality of what you're sensing. Is it calm or chaotic? Steady or fluctuating? Clear or muddy?

Step 3: Apply the Time Test (Optional but Powerful)

If you're still unclear after the body scan, use the gift of time. Tell yourself, "I don't need to decide right now. I'm giving this 24 hours."

During those 24 hours, notice when the feeling appears:

• Does it surface primarily when you're stressed or tired?

• Or does it persist even when you're calm, fed, and rested?

Journal about it if that helps. Write down what you're sensing without trying to analyze or fix it. Just document.

The next day, return to the body scan practice. If the same clear knowing is present—especially if it's there when you're in a calm, coherent state—that's your intuition speaking. If it's dramatically different or has disappeared entirely, you were likely hearing anxiety.

Why Anxiety Isn't Your Enemy (And Neither Is Intuition)

Here's something most spiritual teachings won't tell you: anxiety isn't wrong. It's information.

Anxiety exists because at some point in your life, it kept you safe. It helped you navigate situations where your well-being was genuinely threatened. It taught you to scan for danger, to prepare for worst-case scenarios, to protect yourself.

The problem isn't anxiety itself. The problem is when anxiety mistakes the present for the past, responding to today's decisions as if they carry the same threat level as childhood wounds or past traumas.

Similarly, intuition isn't always right. That sentence might surprise you, especially in spiritual circles where intuition is often treated as infallible. But intuition is a skill that improves with practice. When you're first learning to distinguish it from anxiety, you'll make mistakes. You'll think you're hearing intuition when you're actually hearing fear. You'll dismiss intuition as anxiety and miss important guidance.

This is normal. This is part of the learning process.

The goal isn't perfection. The goal is developing a relationship with both these inner voices where you can recognize each one, understand what it's trying to communicate, and make informed choices about how to respond.

Anxiety says: "I'm scared. I need safety. I'm trying to protect you." When you hear this, you can thank it for caring, then ask: "Am I actually in danger right now, or am I safe?"

Intuition says: "This is true for you. This aligns with who you are. This is the path, even if it's not easy." When you hear this, you can trust it while also using your logic and planning skills to navigate the practical details.

Both voices deserve respect. Neither should be the only voice you listen to.

Building Unshakeable Trust in Your Inner Voice

Distinguishing intuition from anxiety is step one. Building confidence in your intuitive capacity is step two. This happens through practice, not through understanding. You can read a hundred articles about swimming, but you only learn to swim by getting in the water.

Here are five daily practices that strengthen your intuitive muscles while simultaneously calming your anxious nervous system:

1. Morning Calibration: Finding Your "Yes" and "No"

Every morning, before you check your phone or start your day, spend two minutes finding your body's yes and no.

Sit quietly. Place one hand on your heart. Ask yourself questions you absolutely know the answer to:

• "Is my name [your name]?" Notice what a YES feels like in your body.

• "Is my name [wrong name]?" Notice what a NO feels like in your body.

For some people, yes feels like expansion in the chest, a gentle forward lean, warmth, opening. No might feel like contraction, pulling back, coolness, closing.

For others, yes comes with a subtle left-body sensation, no with a right-body sensation. Or yes might feel like a releasing exhale, no like held breath.

There's no universal code. Your body's yes and no are unique to you. The practice is learning your language through questions with known answers, so when you face uncertain situations, you recognize the signal.

2. The Intuition Journal: Track Your Hits and Misses

Buy a small notebook dedicated solely to intuitive development. Each day, write down any intuitive hunches you have—about anything. Who's calling when the phone rings. Whether the store will have what you need. Which route to take home. How a meeting will go.

Don't just log the dramatic, life-changing intuitions. Log the mundane ones. These low-stakes practice moments are where you build confidence without pressure.

Then, later that day or the next day, note whether your intuition was accurate.

Be honest. Don't twist outcomes to make yourself seem more intuitive than you are. The misses teach you as much as the hits. Over time, you'll notice patterns: your intuition is strongest in certain situations, certain times of day, certain states of being.

After a month, you'll have data. You'll see evidence that your intuition is real, is developing, and is worth trusting.

3. Start With Low-Stakes Decisions

The worst time to practice distinguishing intuition from anxiety is when you're making a major life decision under pressure. That's like learning to swim in the middle of a storm.

Start small. Practice with decisions that don't matter much:

Before you go to the store, guess whether you'll find a parking spot in front or have to park farther away. Notice what that guess feels like in your body.

When your phone rings from an unknown number, pause for three seconds. Who do you sense is calling? Then answer and see.

When you meet someone new, notice your initial body response before your mind starts analyzing them. Just notice: does my body feel open or closed around this person?

These micro-practices build intuitive confidence without the stakes that trigger anxiety. You're training in calm waters before heading out to sea.

4. Nature as Nervous System Reset

Your intuition speaks most clearly when your nervous system is regulated. One of the fastest ways to calm anxiety and access intuitive knowing is time in nature.

This isn't woo-woo—it's biology. Research on "forest bathing" shows that time among trees measurably reduces cortisol, lowers blood pressure, and shifts brain wave patterns from busy beta to calm alpha states.

When you're outside, away from screens and artificial environments, several things happen:

Your nervous system naturally downregulates. The sounds, scents, and rhythms of nature communicate safety to your ancient brain.

Your mind quiets. Without constant stimulation demanding your attention, the mental chatter fades.

Your intuition surfaces. In that quiet, spacious state, you can hear what was always there beneath the noise.

Try this: When facing a confusing decision, go outside. Walk for at least 20 minutes without your phone. Don't try to figure anything out. Just walk, breathe, and notice. See what emerges.

Often, you'll find that the answer appears not as a lightning bolt of clarity, but as a quiet knowing that was waiting for you to get out of your own way.

5. Dream Tracking: Your Subconscious Speaks at Night

Your intuition has direct access to your subconscious mind during sleep, when your ego and anxiety temporarily step aside. Dreams are one of the clearest channels for intuitive information, yet most people ignore them.

You don't need to become a dream interpretation expert. Simply keep a notebook by your bed. The moment you wake—before you move, before you think about your day—jot down whatever fragments you remember:

Images. Feelings. Colors. Symbols. People. Scenes.

Don't analyze yet. Just capture.

After a week, review your notes. Look for recurring themes, symbols, or feelings. Often, your subconscious is trying to tell you something your conscious mind isn't ready to hear.

Dreams about water might signal emotional processing. Dreams of flying often accompany periods of expansion or freedom. Dreams where you're searching for something might point to what you're seeking in waking life.

The practice isn't about having one prophetic dream that solves everything. It's about building a relationship with the part of you that knows things your thinking mind doesn't—and learning to trust that knowing.

You're Not Broken—You're Learning a New Language

If you've made it this far, you're probably someone who's lived with anxiety long enough that it feels like your baseline. You've questioned yourself so many times that self-doubt has become second nature. The idea of trusting your gut might feel naive, even dangerous.

This is completely understandable. And it's also changeable.

Every person who has developed strong intuition started exactly where you are: confused, doubtful, unable to tell the difference between guidance and fear. The only distinction between them and you is time and practice.

Your intuition hasn't abandoned you. It's been speaking this entire time. It's just been whispering while anxiety was shouting.

Think of it this way: You're bilingual, but you've been living in a country where only one language is spoken—the language of anxiety. It's the dialect of your family, your culture, perhaps your trauma history. You've become fluent in it without realizing there was another language available to you.

Intuition is that other language. It was always in you. You're just remembering it now.

Learning to distinguish these two voices isn't about eliminating anxiety or achieving some permanent state of calm clarity. It's about developing discernment. It's about building a relationship with both aspects of yourself where you can recognize which one is speaking, what each one needs, and how to respond with wisdom rather than reactivity.

Some days, you'll hear intuition clearly and trust it immediately. Other days, anxiety will be so loud you can barely hear anything else. Both are okay. Both are part of being human.

The transformation isn't in never experiencing anxiety again. It's in no longer letting anxiety convince you it's intuition. It's in knowing the difference, even when both are present.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can anxious people develop strong intuition?

Absolutely yes. In fact, many highly intuitive people also experience anxiety—the two aren't mutually exclusive. Anxiety means you have a sensitive nervous system, and that same sensitivity that makes you prone to anxiety also makes you naturally receptive to subtle information.

The key is learning to regulate your nervous system so you can access the calm coherence where intuition speaks most clearly. This doesn't mean eliminating anxiety entirely. It means developing tools to downregulate when you need to hear intuition, then using that intuitive guidance to make decisions that often reduce anxiety over time.

Many people find that as they build trust in their intuition, their anxiety actually decreases. Why? Because a significant portion of anxiety comes from not trusting yourself, second-guessing every decision, and feeling lost. When you develop reliable access to inner knowing, you spend less time in the exhausting cycle of rumination and doubt.

How long does it take to learn to trust my gut?

This varies dramatically based on your starting point and how consistently you practice. Some people notice a difference within weeks. Others need months to a year of regular practice before they feel confident distinguishing intuition from anxiety.

Several factors influence your timeline:

If you've experienced trauma, especially in childhood, it may take longer because your nervous system has been trained to prioritize threat detection over other signals. You're essentially rewiring deep survival patterns, which requires patience and often professional support.

If you've spent years dismissing or overriding your intuition to please others, accommodate circumstances, or follow "shoulds," you'll need time to rebuild that atrophied muscle.

If you practice consistently—even just five minutes daily—you'll develop faster than someone who only remembers to work with intuition during crisis moments.

Most importantly: trust isn't built through getting every intuitive hit "right." It's built through the practice of listening, noticing the outcome, and learning from both accurate and inaccurate readings. Be patient with yourself. This is a skill, and skills improve with time.

What if my intuition was wrong in the past?

First, was it actually your intuition, or was it anxiety disguised as intuition? Many people have a painful story of "following their gut" into a disastrous situation—a bad relationship, a failed business decision, a betrayal. When you examine those moments closely, you often find anxiety's fingerprints all over them.

True intuition, even when it leads you into difficulty, usually brings important lessons or necessary growth. Looking back, you can see why that "wrong" path was actually part of your evolution.

That said, intuition—especially when you're first developing it—isn't infallible. It's a skill that becomes more accurate with practice. Early on, you'll have false positives and false negatives. This is normal and expected.

The solution isn't to stop trusting your intuition because it's been wrong. The solution is to keep practicing the discernment we've discussed in this article, keep journaling your intuitive hits and misses, and gradually build a track record that strengthens your confidence.

Also remember: intuition often needs to work in partnership with logic, not in opposition to it. Your intuition might say "yes" to an opportunity, and your logic handles the practical execution. Neither should override the other completely.

Should I ignore anxiety once I find my intuition?

No. This is crucial to understand. Anxiety isn't your enemy to be conquered or silenced. It's information about your nervous system state and often about unprocessed emotions or unmet needs.

When you feel anxiety, the response isn't to dismiss it as "not real" or "just anxiety." The response is to acknowledge it: "I notice I'm feeling anxious right now. What do I need? Am I actually unsafe, or does this situation remind my body of past danger?"

Sometimes anxiety is trying to tell you something legitimate—you genuinely do need to prepare for a presentation, address a conflict, or take action on something important. The problem isn't the anxiety; it's when anxiety convinces you it's the only voice worth listening to, or when you let it drive all your decisions.

Think of intuition and anxiety as two advisors. Anxiety is the one scanning constantly for threats, trying to keep you safe. Intuition is the one connected to your deeper wisdom, guiding you toward alignment and growth. You need both, but you need to know which one to prioritize in any given situation.

Can medication affect my intuitive abilities?

This is a deeply personal question with no universal answer. Some people find that anti-anxiety medication or antidepressants help them access intuition more clearly because the medication quiets the anxious noise enough to hear the intuitive signal. Others find that medication blunts all feeling, including intuitive knowing.

What matters most is that you work with healthcare providers who respect your whole personhood, including your spiritual development. If you're concerned about medication affecting your intuition, have an honest conversation with your doctor or psychiatrist. Some medications have more emotional blunting effects than others, and finding the right fit often requires experimentation.

It's also worth noting that many highly intuitive people take psychiatric medication and find it enhances rather than diminishes their gifts by creating the stable neurological foundation they need to access subtle information.

Never stop medication without medical guidance. And never avoid necessary treatment because you're afraid of losing intuitive abilities. Your wellbeing comes first. Intuition will adapt and find new channels once you're stable and healthy.

Is intuition the same as psychic ability?

This depends on how you define these terms. In the broadest sense, intuition is a natural human capacity we all possess—the ability to know things through non-logical, subconscious processing of information.

Psychic ability typically refers to perceiving information beyond normal sensory input: precognition (knowing future events), clairvoyance (seeing beyond physical sight), clairaudience (hearing beyond physical sound), claircognizance (sudden knowing), and clairsentience (feeling others' emotions or energy).

Some people make a clear distinction: intuition is natural, psychic ability is supernatural. Others see them as existing on a spectrum, with everyday intuition on one end and dramatic psychic experiences on the other end of the same continuum.

From a practical standpoint, the work is the same: calming your nervous system, learning to distinguish signal from noise, practicing regularly, and building trust in non-rational ways of knowing.

Whether you call what you're developing "intuition" or "psychic ability" matters less than whether you're cultivating a reliable, grounded relationship with your inner knowing. Start with the basics covered in this article. As you develop, you may naturally evolve into more dramatic intuitive capacities—or you may find that simple, clear intuition is exactly what you need.

Your Inner Wisdom Has Been Waiting

Between the voice that warns and the voice that knows, you've been trying to find your way.

Between the sensation that tightens and the sensation that opens, you've been searching for truth.

Between doubt and trust, fear and knowing, thinking and sensing—you've been learning a language that has no words, only feelings, only recognition, only the quiet certainty that comes when you finally stop asking if you can trust yourself and simply begin to listen.

Your intuition didn't leave you when anxiety got loud. It just went quiet, waiting for you to learn the difference. And now you're learning.

You're learning that calm certainty feels different than frantic urgency. That present-moment knowing carries a different resonance than future-focused fear. That expansion in your body speaks a different language than contraction.

You're learning that you can honor anxiety for the protector it is while also choosing to listen to the deeper wisdom beneath it.

This isn't about perfection. You won't always get it right. Some days anxiety will convince you it's intuition, and you'll follow it into unnecessary suffering. Some days you'll dismiss intuition as anxiety and miss important guidance.

But with practice—with the morning calibrations and the intuition journal and the time in nature and the body scans—you'll develop a relationship with your inner knowing that no amount of self-doubt can shake.

The path to trusting your intuition isn't about achieving some permanent state of clarity. It's about building a practice of listening, noticing, learning, and gradually—so gradually you might not even realize it's happening—beginning to trust the voice that's been there all along.

Your intuition has been speaking since before you learned to silence it. Since before anxiety convinced you that every feeling was a warning. Since before you started questioning whether you could believe anything you felt.

It's still speaking now.

All you need to do is create enough quiet to hear it. All you need to do is learn which sensations mean "this is true" and which mean "this is fear." All you need to do is practice, with patience and self-compassion, until the difference becomes as obvious as light and shadow.

You're not broken. You're not less intuitive than other people. You're not cursed to live forever in confusion.

You're just learning. And every time you pause to ask "Is this intuition or anxiety?", every time you do the body scan or journal your intuitive hits or spend time in nature listening—you're getting stronger.

Your inner wisdom has been waiting. It will wait as long as you need. And when you're ready, when you've practiced enough to hear the difference, it will guide you home.

The difference between intuition and anxiety isn't always obvious at first. But it is learnable. It is discoverable. It is yours to reclaim.

Begin today. Do the body scan. Notice the difference between calm knowing and frantic worry. Track one intuitive hunch and see what happens.

Your intuition is ready. The question is: are you ready to trust it?
