How Women Can Harness Intuition At The Sanctuary to Transform Their Lives 

Do you ever feel like you just can’t get this intuition thing down-packed? Like whatever ‘intuition’ is you just don’t have? Let me help you bust some myths about your intuition and guide you through practical ways you can begin to cultivate starting RIGHT NOW!

Let me first show you how intuition unfolds so you can get a feel for it and think back to times you may have had a similar experience …

Recently, Alexis shared that she (in just 48hrs) realised she needed to move to Chiang Mai and booked her ticket just 24hrs later. This was not planned, scheduled or even in the forefront of her mind. She’d been feeling impending change coming but wasn’t sure what. It first approached her as an opportunity to move to a nearby picture-perfect beach town called Bronte–only it made logical sense to her brain and no sense whatsoever to her body. She sat there anxious and with a loud “NO” screaming from her gut. 

This inner conflict highlights what intuition is and where/how it can play out. Intuition is in the body not in the mind so if you’re a mental person, you need to practice dropping into your emotional body to really get in touch with your intuition. It can come in words, sounds, loud (almost impulsive) thoughts, gut pulls and sensations but it never occurs through thinking your way there. It’s an involuntary experience. You cannot force it. It comes when you are ready, calm and open enough to receive it. 

 

Intuition, as highlighted in Alexis’ case, often conflicts with what is logical, normal and sensible. That’s why so many of us struggle to listen to and act upon our intuition because it may damage our image, relationships and conditioning that we have spent 20+ years following blindly. 

 

But logic doesn’t ENTIRELY throw itself out the window … It’s a different kind of logic we must use when navigating our intuition. A logic that sounds like: “Where does this desire make sense on a soul level?”. We can backtrack to signs, signals and missed opportunities from the past that put the puzzle pieces together for this intuitive pull. Often it doesn’t come entirely out of the blue but is rather a culmination of things coming to a head. Backtracking helps us find the reasons to make an informed intuitive decision. This is where the real power is—because when someone asks you “Why did you do that?”, you have your reason. It’s grounded, logical and justified in your own right. It’s not escapism, it’s thoughtful soul truth.

But this isn’t common for women to do … nor talk about! Sisterhood community, 1:1 support and spiritual practices are so important for this very reason. Your brain is wired to avoid the kind of intuition that ‘rocks the boat’. Your brain’s primary job is to keep you safe so your soul’s call for a complete life flip will cause your ego to put its walls up and convince you to stay in the familiar. It’s about repeatedly breaking down these walls, choosing to give your intuition a chance over and over again and proving the mind’s fear wrong. 

Sometimes we just don’t know what we don’t know right? If you’ve never been exposed to or surrounded by women who radically lead their lives with intuition, it may shock you, trigger you or confuse you–but this is great. Why? Because a whole new alternative way of living is being presented to you … one where YOU are the centerpiece, the magnet, the weaver. 

 

When a woman knows what her intuition wants and follows it she …

• Makes quick, potent decisions without needing to overly consolidate others
  • This means she wastes less of her precious time! More of her life is spent living the decisions she’s made instead of the waiting room most people are stuck in.
• Deepens trust & connection in her relationships
  • The right ones stay, the ones who were never meant to be for her, leave. And rightfully so, she can handle this! She knows her intuition has her highest good at heart so big life changes are only deeper initiations for her soul. 
• Becomes insanely creative & creates more than she consumes
  • An intuitive woman is not doom-scrolling. She is creating art, sharing her truth, being IN her life not just of it. Intuition is closely linked to creativity so her time is spent returning to that child-like state of fun, play & imagination. 

 

And think about it … The Sanctuary wouldn’t even exist if Alexis didn’t follow her intuition. Iran, India, Nepal, Indonesia … Alexis ventured into scary places solo following a whisper in her soul to travel. Now she leads other women to have the same daring, wild woman energy that has saved her life and many others. 

The scary thing about intuition that makes it hard to follow is that it doesn’t give you the whole staircase, just the next step. And I’m totally guilty of begging for the staircase–It’s a life-long game working with your intuition. Intuition, or God’s guidance is a lamp on your feet lighting the way … not the entire course. What’s the fun in that anyway? If you knew how everything would pan out, where this step and that step would lead you you’d either refrain from going down that path or not learn the life lessons or have the soul growth you came here to have. 

 

Here are 2 things you can do TODAY to get closer to your intuition: 

• Ask yourself: “If I wasn’t afraid of anything, who would I be & what would I do?”

• Observe contraction + expansion bodily practice:

Take deep breaths, drop into a meditative state and become a 3rd party observer of your body. Imagine looking down on your body from above. Tap into your heart with a hear-brain coherence meditation (super powerful on here) 

Bring certain decisions / paths to mind and notice where you feel expansion (towards, warmth, fuzzy, light) and where you feel contraction (shrink, tightness, cold, fear)

 

Intuition is your biggest superpower. Everyone has it, we just live in a world that suppresses it for the sake of conformity. Break the mould, do  these practices daily and become a regular member of The Sanctuary and watch your world unfold …
