- [Narrator] Hey Psych2Goers,
do you know what a gut feeling is?
A gut feeling is something
that can also be described as your intuition
and it's when your body is trying to tell you
when something is right or wrong.
Sometimes your head can get in the way of your intuition
and you might choose not to listen to your gut,
but your gut is generally always right
because it's the first instinct you have
about any given situation.
Before we begin, we would like to remind you
that this video's primary intention
is for providing spiritual and light-hearted content
and isn't based on scientific research.
With that said,
here are six signs that your intuition
is trying to tell you something.
Number one, a specific dream keeps resurfacing.
Do you have a specific recurring dream?
If so, your intuition could be trying
to tell you something important.
While some of the dreams you have at night
relay the anxiety and fear you feel
during your waking hours,
there are other dreams that are messages
from you intuition.
When a dream subconsciously uncovers your intuition,
the dream appears as a masked symbol or archetype.
When you sleep, your ego stops dictating your thoughts,
allowing your unconscious mind to be set free.
Well-known psychologist, Carl J. Jung, said,
"The dream is the small hidden door
"in the deepest and most intimate sanctum of the soul,
"which opens into the primeval cosmic night
"that was soul long before there was a conscious ego
"and will be a soul far beyond
"what a conscious ego could reach."
Number two, you feel happy and confident
with a decision that doesn't seem rational.
Have you ever made a decision
that no one else understood,
but you knew that it was the right choice for you?
This is a sign of your intuition speaking to you.
Did you up and quit your job
to pursue a different career path
where you knew you'd be happier?
Did you go back to school late in the game?
Or want to travel solo through Europe?
Your intuition, by nature, is not logical
and it is separate from your ego
or more protective instincts.
So, if you feel called
and are excited to do these things
and defy all expectations,
then your intuition may be trying to tell you something,
your gut will always know what is right for you.
Number three, you experience synchronicity.
What is synchronicity?
Synchronicity refers to the simultaneous occurrence
of events that are seemingly related
without a discernible connection.
This concept was first introduced
by analytical psychologist, Carl Jung.
Imagine you're at a red light
and are oblivious to the world around you.
You have a problem weighing on your mind
and you start thinking about it.
On a subconscious level,
you're asking your awareness to be shown a sign,
then a bumper sticker on the car in front of you
reads something that catches your attention.
You continue driving
and notice a giant billboard with a similar message.
Both these signs are related
to what you were thinking about
and this is synchronicity.
It's repetitive signs that are trying
to answer your subconscious question,
your gut instincts are providing external messages for you.
Number four, you have lucid dreams more frequently.
Have you been having graphic, detailed dreams?
Do they seem more out there to you?
Once again, this is an example of your dreams
trying to speak to you.
Your intuition is not part of your conscious, logical mind,
so your dreams are a brilliant way
for your intuition to try and talk to you.
What you dream about can contain messages
about things that you intuitively picked up,
whether it's from your past, preset, or future.
Celebrity psychic medium, Thomas John,
recommends keeping a dream journal
about the impressions and feelings that you get
from these lucid dreams
since they might be important signs
that your intuition is trying to tell you something.
Number five, you find clarity when you slow down.
Did you know that your intuition
has a greater influence when you're in a moment of calm
and have slowed yourself down?
Have you ever felt more clarity
after taking some time for yourself
or after walking on the beach?
When you give your brain a break
from the nonstop business and distractions of the day,
your intuition is able to reach you,
it can hit you like an aha moment
or a rush of sudden clarity,
or in a brilliant idea
like a light bulb that turns on.
And number six, your body speaks to you.
Have you ever made a decision
that made you physically ill?
Did you wave it off at the time
as something bad you ate or a stomach bug?
But what if your intuition
was actually trying to tell you something important?
When you go against your gut instinct,
you may pay a hefty physical price.
Your spiritual, emotional, and physical bodies
all impact and affect each other,
so when you're out of balance with all three,
physical issues can start to appear.
Your physical body can show signs
that something isn't right
by having chest pains, shallow breathing,
disease or other ailments,
or maybe even an ankle sprain.
Your intuition will speak in many forms
just to get your attention.
If you follow your intuition,
it will never lead you wrong,
your physical body will always let you know
what is happening.
What are you aching for?
What issues in your life
are taking your breath away?
Do you think your intuition is trying to tell you something?
If so, what do yo think it could be?
Did you recognize any of these signs
that your intuition is trying to tell you something
in your life?
