(00:00): You may be a little confused right
now in thinking, how on earth is my intuition dangerous? We're taught that intuition is this
amazing compass that we should always follow, that it takes us on the right path and helps us
make the right decisions. So how can it ever be dangerous? Well, you'll be surprised to know that
your intuition can absolutely feel dangerous to your body and to your mind. And when it does, you
can go into paralysis and self-sabotage, ignoring your intuition and refusing to do what it tells
you. And that can have devastating consequences in your life and keep you from doing the things that
you're meant to do and the things that are in your highest good. In this video, you'll discover why
your intuition feels dangerous to your mind and to your body, and the simple three step process on
what to do when your intuition feels dangerous. (00:47):
First, let's get into what intuition really is. Science and spirituality view intuition
in different ways, and I'm more interested in the spiritual definition. From a science perspective,
intuition is studied as a brain phenomenon. So it's seen as as a phenomenon of the subconscious
mind. But in spirituality, in spiritual traditions from all over the world, especially the shamonic
worldview intuition is actually seen as a heart phenomenon. And that's the way I like to see it.
And that's the way that I view intuition. Here's how I define intuition. It's an inner knowing that
is registered first at the level of the heart. Your heart is a very spiritually active organ,
and it is much more sensitive to subtle energy than people actually realize. Your heart actually
works in tandem with your energy system, the quantum energy system that surrounds your body,
and it reads and receives information that is spiritual in nature, and that's coming from
outside of space time. (01:43):
Your heart functions as a receptor, not just picking up subtle energy in tandem with your
energy system, but also picking up messages from parts of you that are not flesh and bone. So I
like to think of intuition really also as your soul talking to you. So really your heart hears
the whispers of your soul and then turns those whispers into physical sensations and feelings
that you can then think about and contemplate at the level of the mind. So now to the million
dollar question, how is your intuition dangerous? What intuitive nudges often do is they pull you
towards taking action on something in your life. Your intuition is like a breadcrumb trail that
your soul uses to lead you on the best path. Each intuitive ping tells you where to turn,
what path to follow, and what direction to go in. But here's where things get fun,
but a little scary sometimes. Often your soul and your intuition will actually lead you to
the edge of a proverbial cliff. And this is where intuition becomes dangerous when your intuition
tells you to go to the edge of a cliff and jump your mind and your body can feel scared shitless
of doing this. (02:55):
Now, what are these cliffs that your intuition sometimes wants you to jump off of? These are
usually the big decisions in life where you have this strong inner pulling to do something to make
big changes. And these big changes cause you to feel very, very scared. Maybe it's leaving a toxic
relationship that you know has run its course or quitting a job that you hate or changing careers
into something completely new. Or it could be moving places or even countries or starting a
new business. All these intuitions can feel like you're literally being propelled to jump off of a
cliff. And when that happens, your biological system, your human self starts to sound the
alarms. These decisions, this jumping off of proverbial cliffs, this can feel very dangerous
and life-threatening to your body. And so those alarms are gonna go off as soon as your body,
as soon as your mind senses that there may be something life-threatening, the alarms are gonna
go off and you're gonna go into what's known as the fight or flight response, which is where
your body goes into a stress response thinking that something life-threatening is happening.
(04:04): When your nervous
system activates that fight or flight response, your body will go into a complete stress mode and
it will perceive this intuition as something to be avoided instead of embraced no freaking way.
And when your nervous system activates and you go into that stress mode, you're going to be very
resistant to taking action towards this intuition because it's going to be perceiving that something
bad will happen if you do take action. Now, why is your body perceiving that an intuition is
dangerous or life-threatening? The real reason why this is happening is because if you follow through
on an intuition, especially a big intuition, and you take a big step, it's going to cause
outer changes, huge outer changes. And really what that's going to translate into is that you
are going to have to walk into the unknown. And for better or worse, the biological part of you
is averse to the unknown. (04:58):
And many times it prefers what's familiar over new experiences. New experiences can
often feel dangerous or threatening to the biological system, to your body,
to your flesh and bone. And this is really just a remnant of our evolution and our body's attempt to
keep us safe at all times. So many times, staying in an unsatisfying relationship or maybe in a job
that you hate is preferable to the human part of you because at least it's comfortable and
familiar. It may be familiar, and the body prefers many times familiar. That's better than going into
the unknown and doing something new where you have no idea what the outcome is. Your mind will
inevitably be asking, what if I'm worse off? So what can we do if our bodies and minds perceive
our intuition as something dangerous? Follow these three steps. If this ever happens to you,
just follow these simple three steps to get you out of this complicated bind.
(05:54): Step number one is baby steps. So instead of
jumping off of that proverbial cliff all at once, sometimes it helps to take smaller steps towards
a bigger action. This helps disarm any protection warning bells that your body or mind can set off
as a survival mechanism. So let's take the example of you possibly leaving your job. Let's say you
hate your job, but it pays well and you're doing something you're really good at. Instead of just
walking into your boss's office and screaming, I quit, and then tearing up the place on your way
out. Maybe you can start with small steps. You start to look into your interest and the things
you'd love to do next. Maybe you send out some resumes or take an online course on how to start
a business. Maybe you even start to make some money on the side with a side hustle you enjoy.
(06:43): Step two, ask for timing. So contrary to
popularly relief, when you receive an intuition, it doesn't mean you have to act on it immediately.
The more you feel a sense of urgency, the more you can actually put your body in that fight
or flight response. So what you can do is when you receive an intuition, learn how to breathe,
be at peace, stay calm, and ask the universe, be very vocal with the universe and ask the
universe when it is time to ask on an intuition. Don't ever rush anything. The more you rush,
the more you'll be putting your body in fight or flight. And that'll, again, give the signal that
the intuition is dangerous. So take things slowly. Ask for the timing to be shown to you. And the
more a piece your body is, the easier it'll be to then act on the intuition when it's time.
(07:34): Step three, pay attention to the signs.
The universe is always talking to you. Your spirit guides are always talking to you. So pay attention
to any signs or messages that you may be receiving about an intuition and on what steps to take next,
having to do with that intuition, your guides are always available. They're always very eager
to help you, especially when you ask for help. And that brings me to a pro tip. Remember that
your guides cannot violate your free will. So if you want assistance, remember to ask for it and
be very vocal. No spirit guide can violate free will, so they will not intervene in your life
unless you ask for that assistance. So learn how to ask for help. Learn how to ask for help every
day. Here's a mantra that I like to use. I give my spirit guides permission to help me for my
highest good. (08:27):
The more you get used to doing this, the more your spirit guides and the universe
will step in and send just a sequence of signs and messages that'll help you step and take action on
any intuition that you receive and continue to help you to walk on your highest path,
the highest path possible, in tune with your intuition and with what your soul is saying
to you. Many times what our intuition does is it helps us actually find what's known as our
life purpose. And if you feel, feel like you're receiving big intuitions on your life purpose,

effortless way. This helps disarm any protection mechanism. No, this helps. Oh my God.
