I’ve been blogging about intuition for over 17 years and I can’t believe that I have never written a complete list of the benefits of developing psychic abilities. There are so many!
Here we go:
1. Save time and money
Several days ago I needed to go to my local post office (and I’d never been there before). I really wanted to go that day because it fit with my schedule. My intuition said “don’t go today, go tomorrow”. When I followed the intuition and went the next day, I saw a sign on the counter with the opening hours. The post office had been shut all day, on the day before (even though it wasn’t a public holiday and it is normally open everyday on weekdays!)
My intuition knew it was shut, but I didn’t.
Often when you’re being helped in this way, your intuition will just offer a recommendation with no explanation and it’s easy to ignore.
2. Know why hard circumstances and situations are showing up for you
Nothing in life happens by accident and it is completely possible to know why things are showing up for you.
There are three reasons why negative things happen in life (or at least things we perceive to be negative):
- Justified past life karma. For example, if you’re a landlord in a previous life who makes a poor person homeless, in a later life your landlord may put up your rent by an extortionate amount and then kick you out when you can’t pay it. I’ve had many events in my life which were a result of justified past life karma and it has helped me to know when this was occurring and which past life situation caused it. The key to dealing with justified negative past life karma is to eschew victimhood and stay as positive as possible. There is often some way out of the situation that can leave you better off than you were before, but you need to be paying attention and not feeling sorry for yourself in order to see it.
- A past life complex — old patterns that are repeating, because they are coming up to be cleared
- You manifested it, but it isn’t necessarily a result of a past life complex.
By being connected to your intuition, you can know why you are having the life experiences that you are having. You can sometimes also get a bigger perspective on how to fix the negative stuff that is showing up.
3. Help someone else or even save a life
This isn’t really something I would say most of us manage to achieve on a daily basis using our intuition! But it can happen.
A professional intuitive who used to work via my website, Debra Reeves, wrote a guest article for my blog several years ago, about her premonition which helped to save a friend of hers from a vehicle accident:
“Another premonition that comes to mind is while I was in India. I was friends with a group of Israelis, one of whom was leaving on a bus at midnight. I was getting in a meditation before seeing her off when my guides started repeating her name. They became more and more insistent and I realised it wasn’t just my mind distracted but a message they wanted to impart. As soon as I listened I was told “Don’t let her get on that bus! It will crash. Although she will survive she will suffer back injuries that will trouble her for life. She must not get on that bus.”
I understood that it was not her path and that she had become embroiled in someone else’s path. I shyly shared my message with the friend (hoping she wouldn’t think me completely crazy!) and she agreed not to go that night. Her mother saw an article in an Israeli newspaper that the bus did in fact crash. She credits me for saving her from a scary and potentially life threatening accident.”
4. Know when someone is bad news
Many of us know in our first impressions when meeting someone that they are bad news, although we often discount those initial intuitive hits.
Something else you can do if you have developed your intuitive abilities is tune into someone’s photo and do a reading of their aura to find out who they really are, what their character is like and what motivates them. You can do this for people you are thinking of hiring or getting involved with in some way.
This is something I teach people to do in chapter 10 of my Intuitive Awakening Course.
I used to be very interested in true crime (although since getting into conscious creation I no longer read about it.) Out of curiosity, when there was a murder case or a potential miscarriage of justice where it was not clear whether the person was guilty or not, I used to tune into peoples’ auras to see whether what I found was consistent with the crime they committed. This was very interesting – like being a fly on the wall, and what I found in a couple of the cases came to light years later.
Our intuition can definitely help us to see beyond the surface when it comes to other people.
5. Bring more magic and awe into your life
We live in a world that is an illusion (what the Buddhists call “maya”). We are not souls who live in bodies — we are bodies that live within a soul. I believe this whole existence is a dream; a simulation created by our souls to help us to evolve. Life is full of magic, but many people are not aware of this and refuse to see it.
By developing your abilities, you can live tapped into a higher perspective on what this life is really about.
6. Know who the people around you are on the soul level and your past life history with them
I know my past life history with many of the people in my life and I also know who they are on the soul level. (This is something I teach people to find out in my Akashic Record Reading Program.)
I know (for example) what both of my nieces’ most recent lifetimes were and my past life history with them. I know my past life history with various other family members. All of this insight is invaluable to me and it sheds a lot of light on the dynamics of my relationships and the things that have happened in my life.
7. Hear your soul’s directives more easily
Intuition is so important because it is your soul’s GPS. It sends you in the right direction.
What does it mean to go in the right direction? You set the intention and the course you want to take, and then your intuition will give you guidance that helps you get there. Some of us do sometimes miss the cues that come in that are guiding us towards our goals.
8. Recognise danger more effectively and quickly
In 2019, I wrote about how my intuition was trying to prevent my house from burning down. You can read that article here. (To briefly summarise, I had a dangerous old CFL lightbulb in my house and some of these bulbs had caused house fires for people. My intuition knew something was wrong. Read the article for the whole story.)
9. Get comfort in hard times
This is the benefit I have valued the most in the past – I’m not sure I would have survived some of the things that have happened to me in my life if I hadn’t had support from the spirit realm.
If you can perceive them, angels can raise your vibration and offer comfort. I talked about that in this article.
Spirit Guides can help to guide you out of the maze you’re in, that is, if you can hear their guidance.
In summary, I believe that intuition is the number one skill that can help us in our lives, and that is why I am proud and grateful to be teaching this skill. Intuition can guide you, comfort you, protect you, provide insight on people and relationships, save you time & money, and even save your life (or someone else’s)!
If you’re interested in developing this skill further, check out my Intuitive Awakening Course. It is a 13 week course that comes with a written manual, audio lectures, audio meditations and support from a mentor (me!)
