How to Find Your Intuitive Specialty #259

Most people don't think of themselves as intuitive. Not really. They expect that they will know once they become intuitive when they start having visions that stop them in their tracks or dramatic revelations happen.  But they aren't acknowledging the intuition that is there beyond what TV and movies make it look like.  (It's not like that at all.)

This episode is about recognizing something you already have. Your intuitive specialty — the specific area of life where your inner knowing flows naturally, easily, almost invisibly. It's real. It's already active. And once you see it, you can't unsee it.

Where your attention flows, your intuition flows. The things you've poured your time, your care, your love, and your deep interest into? That's exactly where your energetic antenna has been tuning itself all along. The therapist who senses the weight in the room before her client even sits down. The parent who just knows something is off with their kid before any sign appears. The entrepreneur who gets strong gut signals about timing. That's not luck or training alone — that's intuition working through the channel life has already carved out for you.

Christina walks you through how to actually recognize where your intuitive specialty lives, how to start deconstructing how the information comes to you, and how to begin intentionally expanding it into other areas of your life. There are also four questions at the end that work like a map — and honestly, the answers might surprise you.

You are not starting from scratch. You never were. It's time to start noticing what's already there.

Christina Wooten: 1:15

Hey there, Kindred Spirits. Welcome to Modern Life and Spirit Podcast. I'm Christina Wooten, certified psychic medium at SedonaMedium.com Welcome to our episode today. We are almost out of this Mercury Retrograde in Pisces, which I am thankful for, and I will say that I have appreciated some of the healing opportunities that have come forward during this time. Now that I understand that Mercury Retrograde is such a significant healing time, I really pay attention to the themes and the opportunities that come up, and this has been a particularly potent time for healing and learning and developing new skills. I've learned a new healing modality which has been so interesting to incorporate and to explore. It's also been not so fun, so I'm glad for some of the technical aspects to return to normal and just feel like things are a little bit easier on a practical perspective. I mean, that's human, right? We're all human. I can appreciate it for the gift that it has, but now, please go. Please, please go. We have also had some interesting things happen yesterday at our house, which we'll see what it ends up meaning, what the intention or purpose happens to be. Sometimes that information comes in hindsight rather than specifically in the moment. So it started yesterday with my daughter, who's 16, going on 17, if you know that song she was saying that she kept seeing out of the corner of her eye this movement at cat level. No, we do have two physical cats, and we do have a dog in our household, and she would see this movement and look over, expecting to see one of our cats, and then it wouldn't be there, or she'd see a cat in the corner of her eye, and she'd look over to see which one it was, and the cats were not there. They were off in some other area. So she mentioned that to me, just letting me know, usually that sometimes happens before the cat distribution system sends us a new cat. So we'll see what that ends up being that evening, Robert comes home, we're having dinner together. He had not been looped in to all of this. And he's leaning back on the dining room chair. He's got his arm kind of dangling behind him, a little bit across the back of the chair, and he says, Oh, do you get to see the shock look go across his face? And he said, Oh, I felt like something soft and fuzzy, like a cat tail go across the back of his arm while he was sitting there. Now, interestingly enough, that would be way too high for, you know, a normal domestic cat for their tail, but the fact that he says that there's some serious validation for Maya, so I was able to share that with her. Also, as I was putting all this together, I realized that I had taken a video in the morning back in our bedroom of the two cats. They were being just very sweet with each other. They were both very relaxed, and they were grooming. And I just thought it was sweet. So I was taking a little video to send over to Robert and in about seven seconds towards the end of the video, this orb in the middle of the day just goes directly across my screen from left to right. So interesting kitty activity. We will see what that means. But maybe you have had that experience as well. When one of your spirit animals has come to visit. Maybe you have a cat that's passed away, or dog that's passed away. It's definitely common to have an experience where you see this movement around animal level, and you go to look and they're not there. Or This especially happens right when an animal passes away, because a lot of times they're visiting us as soon as this has happened, and they're connecting with us again and letting us know, hey, I'm okay. They don't want us to grieve. You know, most the animals are trying to comfort us after they have passed over, and so they're trying to make their presence very known in that time. So maybe you have had this experience as well anyway. So our topic today, getting to our topic today, is how to find your intuitive specialty, because this is something that is important that will help you to continue to grow and develop your intuition. But you have to learn how to recognize it, how to understand ways. Where your intuition currently lives. So you can keep developing it and keep growing it. And a lot of times, people do not recognize intuition as it is already showing up, which is what creates this big obstacle. Because if you can't recognize how your intuition is already there, it's very difficult to begin to grow it, so you have to take step number one, which is recognize how it shows up for you. So I want you to think about a specific moment where maybe you were caught off guard and you didn't have a prepared answer, and maybe you needed to respond to someone on the fly, and as soon as you put that thought out, oh my gosh, what am I going to say? Something just came through. Maybe you just knew what the right thing to say was. And maybe it would be something that your mind is kind of arguing with, because you're like, should I even say that? But you just felt like this is what I'm supposed to say. Or maybe you have the experience where you just open your mouth and without any forward thought, the right thing sort of spills out. Maybe it's just the exact right thing that a grieving friend needed to hear, or it could be a gut feeling about a patient, or a sense that something is off with one of your clients that isn't luck. That is your intuitive specialty showing up. Intuition is not a one size fits all situation. It is not a uniform gift that looks the same in everyone. Most people assume that they are not intuitive because they're measuring themselves against a very narrow definition of what they think it means to be intuition. Maybe their thought process is it's like Alice in Twilight that you just sort of suddenly hit with these visions, and everything goes black, and you're seeing this vivid movie for a long period of time, or my daughter's been watching supernatural and one of the guys on there has these visions as well. Or maybe you're expecting it to look like very dramatic premonitions about these huge events in life, but it doesn't always look like that, and we have to stop judging what your intuition looks like against a very narrow definition that's very exaggerated. Okay, because a lot of people aren't going to have that particular experience, their intuition is going to look very, very different from that and very integrated into how they're showing up. So if you're always trying to chase this experience, which is very niche, you're going to miss your opportunity the way that your intuition shows up for you now, your intuition flows. Where your attention flows, okay? Where you have invested time care, love or necessity, that is where your energetic antenna is already tuned. This is so important, wherever in your life, you put all of that time that care, that love, seriously, that is where you are really, really tuned in, because you are asking for help. You are open to learning, you are open to receiving, you are allowing information. It's like you're just a big sponge in that area. So your intuition is able to flow to you. Additional information can come in quite easily. So your energetic antenna is tuned there. Now, often for a lot of people, it happens so quickly where intuitive information blends with things that they've either been trained in or they've understood, and so they have trouble teasing apart where their responses come from or where information comes from. For them, they're just thinking, you know, I don't know. I just knew. I just knew what I was supposed to say. I just knew what I was supposed to do. I just knew what the answer was, rather than it being something that you consciously figured out. But here's where we're going to deconstruct this a little bit. You know your life helps to shape your intuitive channel, so your interest and your attention and repetition is what creates a very finely tuned receiver. Your specialty tends to emerge in two key areas. So the first one is wherever you have passion and a deep special interest. So those are the things that you choose to immerse yourself in. The. That really light you up inside, that just make you so excited, so interested, joyful on the inside, that's where you want to keep growing, right? You're absorbing because you are so passionate and deeply interested in that topic. The other area is practical necessity. So these are the things in your daily life or your career that requires you to be attuned. Now if both of those things overlap for you, so wherever you have practical necessity and you also have a deep passion and a deep interest, then you're going to be even more deeply tuned in that area of life. The more that you engage with something, the more subtle signals you're going to begin to notice. So over time, your nervous system, your energetic system, both learn what to look for. So you start reading the room, you see a pattern. You read a person faster than logic can explain. So again, it can be difficult for you to break down exactly how, why, you know, but there is more at play than just your training. So let's look at just some practical examples of what this looks like. So it could be, let's say, a therapist or a counselor who can feel that emotional undercurrent that's in the room before a client even speaks. So even before they say hello, you're like, Oh, something is heavy in this room. Something is going on. It can be a doctor who has a hunch about a diagnosis that leads them to order the right test. So that's their intuition that's working alongside their training, and maybe the symptoms that were presented to them could be 10, 1215, different, you know, reasons or causes, but that doctor just has this hunch, has a feeling. I think it's this, where does that feeling come from? It can be a parent who just knows that something is off with their child, even before there's any visible sign, they can just feel it. They start to get this sense in their gut that something is off, something is wrong. To pay attention, to be concerned. It can be a teacher who can read when a student is struggling with something at home. Maybe they're feeling something emotional that's going on and it doesn't have anything to do with their academics. Maybe they're showing up just fine, but something underneath they know, I need to pay more attention to this child. Something is going on. It can be a chef who intuitively knows that a dish just needs something before they even taste it. They're just like, Hmm, I know this isn't in the recipe, but I just feel like a little nutmeg is going to be exactly what this needs. Or my last example would be an entrepreneur or a creative person who just starts to get strong gut signals about opportunities or about timing. So maybe they have a sense about when to do certain projects or when something feels off and when not to do certain things. So let's examine some signs that you are already using your intuitive specialty. So maybe you finish someone's sentence and you are right. You correctly anticipated what they were getting ready to say, what their problem was, what they needed help with, what the situation was, or about the dynamic. Maybe you walk into a situation and you just immediately sense the dynamic that's at play without being told or without having any clues. You could get a download of insight in the middle of the night related to your work or to relationships. That does happen for some people, where you just suddenly wake up and it's like, Oh, I gotta write this down before I forget. Or maybe you're the person that others come to in your area, because they sense that you get it on a deeper level. So this is your peers in the same career or area of expertise that you are operating in, they come to you for advice because they feel like you're going to be able to help them and understand things on a deeper level than maybe they can. You've had moments of saying the exact right thing when you had no idea what to say, and maybe it's very different than how you your personality would typically show up, but it happened to be just the right thing that was needed in the moment. So you may be calling this type of experience something else. I hear this all the time like, oh, it was just a lucky guess. These are my good. Instincts. It's just the gift of experience being perceptive. It's okay to be calling it what it is. It's important to really recognize where your intuition is already active and it's already engaged right now, pay attention to where you are already tuned in. It's important to recognize that in intuitive development, because you're not starting from zero, and it can feel very overwhelming when you're thinking, I'm not intuitive at all, and I'm trying to create this experience in my life. I'm trying to feel more safe and secure and connected to my higher self, connected to the other side. I want to feel at peace in my heart in times of uncertainty or times of stress, whatever it is for you, and it can feel very overwhelming to think, you know, I'm starting from scratch. I'm not having intuition as it is, but the truth is, you are. Your intuition is just probably showing up in ways that are already so integrated into your life that you aren't teasing it apart. So once you recognize and honor your existing specialty, you can start to strengthen it intentionally. You can begin to notice the language that your intuition uses so you want to pay attention to, well, how did you get the message? So you want to slow down after you recognize that, oh, I think my intuition was at play there. Well, how did you get the information that helped you? Did you have an image? Was it a feeling? Were there words involved? Was it just a strong sense of knowing? How did it show up? You want to deconstruct it a little bit more so that you can understand. Was there something that preceded that moment that helped, you know, oh, I need to pay attention, or was there something that helped to open the door. So like, for example, when you send that thought out that goes, oh, I need something to say. Here, this person is expecting me to say something, and I'm not sure what the right thing to say is. And you suddenly put that thought out there, what should I say? And you're reaching out for an answer. And then suddenly something drops in, right? So we want to pay attention to the preceding moment. What is the thing that opens that gateway for you to allow the receptivity to come in to where you are asking for help or asking to support? You want to deconstruct that a little bit more, because it's going to help you to understand how intuition flows the most easily to you, and then you want to expand from there into other areas of your life. So if you are getting information predominantly through feelings in your area of specialty, but maybe you don't have a whole lot of direction in another area of your life, maybe around your parenting, then you're going to start paying more attention to the feelings that you're getting, the feeling in the room, the awarenesses that you have in that area of your life, because you know that that's the most strongly laid path that your intuition is walking most regularly. So usually, the information is going to flow to you in the way that you most naturally are receiving. If you're more attuned in one area, that's the same pathway, the intuitive information can come to you in another area of your life as well. So you want to start to stimulate that particular area. So in that example, I might, you know, ask in the other area I'm struggling with I'm noticing feelings are important. I might say, Well, how do I feel about this situation? What feeling words come to me about this situation, but start to play with feelings as being a prompt for you. What does that elicit? What does it bring forward? Where does that take you along this journey of exploration so that it opens more and more intuitive information to you, so you're going to expand in actively and intentionally into other areas of your life. So I have some questions that I want you to just sit with and think about, because it's going to bring a lot of insight around how your intuition is already showing up. So you can journal these questions or maybe the answers just come to you right in this moment, right as I say it. So. It's four questions. Number one is, in what area of life do people consistently come to you for insight or guidance? The consistent part is key. So maybe. Across different areas of your life, different time periods, people seem to recognize that you have a gift in this particular area, where do they ask you for advice or guidance or direction? Number two, where do you notice things others seem to miss? So maybe it seems so obvious to you, so apparent, so clear, but it takes others forever to catch up. They just don't seem to be able to get there with the information that's presented. So you all have the same information, but you seem to know where this is headed before everybody else seems to so where do you notice that you seem a little bit ahead and where others seem to miss things? And three, when have you had a knowing that just defied logic, and what was the subject matter? And then number four is what topics light you up or hold your deep attention. Because again, we're going back to that formula that I was saying earlier, your interest and your attention and repetition creates a finely tuned receiver. So your answers are going to give you some direction. It's like a map to where your intuitive gift is already flowing. So now that you have that information, you want to push yourself a little bit more. Push yourself to trust your intuition more. So start to perhaps speak up when you have more insights. Maybe you're that person where you're way ahead of where everybody else is. So start to share your information. Start to share your sense about the situation. Start to push that out, act in trust. More allow that to create this deeper relationship between you and your intuition. Your intuition will only get stronger when you start to utilize it, to use it and demonstrate trust in that information, that will really show that you are ready to continue to grow this and more and more information will come to you. So your intuition, it isn't something that you have to build from nothing. It is already with you. It is already expressing through you in the areas that matter the most to you. The invitation here is really for you to practice noticing and honoring and nurturing the existing channel, observing, being aware, deconstructing how your intuition is already showing up, so that you can keep stimulating, that you can keep nurturing it. You can push it, trust it, express it more and more. That will allow more and more of this information for you to access all of that. So I mentioned this earlier, that one thing that I notice is that in the areas of life where intuition is really active and it's supernatural for someone that they may not even notice it because it's so integrated, it's so natural for them. So if I were to say, Well, how did that information come to you, they might say, Oh, no, it happened so quickly that they don't seem to notice how it happens, what the process is. So it takes a little bit to get that deeper understanding and slow the process down enough to observe it and look at it. So this is where I would recommend take the what is your intuitive superpower quiz. It's on my website at Sedona, medium.com, on the homepage, what is your intuitive superpower quiz, and it can help you just tease some things out a little bit more if you are having trouble breaking your process down, once you know more about your strongest intuitive ability, you can start training it more and building on that Claire, but you need that information first. So if you are someone who struggles with teasing it apart, that may be a resource that helps you. All right, everyone so much. Love, many blessings, until next time
