Everyone Has Intuition, its Science

We break down intuition as a real, trainable skill and explain why it can feel like the missing operating system behind clear decisions and a fulfilling life. We connect the spiritual lens with a science-based model of light, energy, and the brain’s constant decoding process, then show how to strengthen your signal without getting hijacked by emotion.

Welcome And The Big Promise

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Welcome to Make Sense of It, the podcast where we explore how the energetic and physical worlds come together to form the unique formula you need to create the life you want. I'm Brooke, an intuitive healer and coach. And for as long as I can remember, I have been obsessed with understanding how the world truly works. The universal laws, all things intuition, and neuroscience. Once you understand how it all truly works, you stop guessing. You realize that you are the actual key to the creation, and life becomes limitless. Now I'm excited to share with you all the pieces that make a difference that you can actually use. Let's dive in.

Why Intuition Matters Now

SPEAKER_00 0:40

Hello and welcome back. I have been looking forward to this one. Today we're going to talk about all things intuition, the science behind intuition, how everyone is intuitive. I feel that this is a really important topic to cover very early on, especially with the types of clients I attract. And because there is a lot of misunderstanding and misinformation around intuition and how it really works, but understanding it from the science point of view and realizing that it is actually your innate gifts, whether you believe it or not, but by seeing it as a skill set that you can train and master is going to open up so many doors for a lot of you. The other piece I want to cover as well is what you can actually do with intuition. I find a lot of people are underwhelmed with the extent in which we can use our intuition and the actual power behind the tool, behind the skill set. I truly believe intuition is the magic key to living the life that you really want, like the soul want, the fulfillment, the happiness. People like to think that intuition is this one-off, nice to have kind of thing. But it's so much more than that. It's a complete operating system. And you'll see what I mean when we get into this, but it's definitely an untapped skill set that most people aren't realizing the power of and what is actually possible with intuition. And that's exactly what I want to unpack today because it has become one of the most game-changing, life-changing skill sets that I have ever developed in my life. It's been a long time now, but it's definitely taken out the second guessing for me. It's it's stopped a lot of the indecisiveness around making decisions. And oh gosh, if you knew me 10 years ago, I was very indecisive. And even that is an understatement. I was shocking. I loved hindsight, but by developing my intuition, I've just been able to reduce so much pressure that I put on myself, my decisions. It can tell me which option will make me the happiest or have the most fun with, open up the most opportunities. And just to be able to access all the things that the soul really wants and needs, intuition is truly the fastest way to get there.

My Path From Doubt To Trust

SPEAKER_00 3:14

Before we dive into the science behind it all, I want to share a little story because I do think it's important and I hope it will resonate with many of you. I have a lot of conversations with people about what I do as an intuitive and what intuition really is and how much I can do with my intuition. And nine times out of ten, people will say to me, Oh, I wish I could do that. I wish I had those skill sets. I wasn't born with those gifts. I'm not special enough. All of the stories. But the truth is, you absolutely can do this. Everybody has intuition. Here's my little story. I'm not somebody who grew up with a dream of being an intuitive. I was not the child or the teenager who grew up with profound spiritual experiences. All of those stories of seeing spirits and talking to loved ones who passed away and predicting things. Actually, I do have one story now I think about it. I have one experience. I was about 14 years old. Yeah, about 14. And I remember having, it was like a prediction, premonition kind of moment where I saw a situation play out. Not a very nice or fun experience, a fun situation to see, but it was about an extended family member. A few hours after that event, that exact thing did actually take place. But outside of that, honestly, I didn't have any other experiences, and I don't have a lot of stories of the spiritual stuff that practitioners out there do. But that was very much my path. That was my journey, and that's what I actually needed. If you've listened to the previous podcast about the soul path, soul pool and how everything happens the way it's meant to, and you're out there collecting all the different things and all the skills. It was perfectly timed for me because if I had these gifts then, during my younger years, I would have been so distracted. It would have distracted me from learning the information, the skills, all the things that I needed to learn to get to this moment. And that's another story. But the reason I mention it as well is because this quite easily could be part of your journey if you were just coming into your intuition now or starting to be intrigued by intuition and not sure if it's for you or if you have the abilities to grow it, you do. But if you didn't have these experiences but were always connected to the spiritual world, always wanted to dial into your gifts, I don't want anyone to discredit themselves from having these abilities. Here is the thing: the only difference between the people saying that they want these skill sets and where I am today is the level of training that I've put myself through. The amount of tools that I've learned and developed, and the thousands and thousands of hours that I've put into practicing, learning, and experimenting and really embodying my intuition into all areas of my life to develop a mastery level skill set. And anybody can do this. Anyone who wants to develop, and everyone should, anyone who wants to develop their intuition, you have the ability to do so. It just takes training. It's like any other skill set. You have to learn the foundations and you have to train it. So if you're sitting there questioning, am I special enough? I wish I had these skill sets, I can guarantee you that you do. And if you are having those thoughts, I would say right now that you're a person who is being pushed or being shown that you are ready to start developing these skill sets to a mastery level. Okay,

Intuition Explained Through Light

SPEAKER_00 7:05

let's go down the path of what intuition really is and how it is scientific. It is just the ability to decode and read information that is held in light, that is held in energy and the forces that come off that light and energy. So going back to the first episode where we talked about everything is made up of energy, everything is made up of light, and that light carries enormous amount of information, it carries data. Think about it when you get an X-ray. This is a perfect example to see how your body is made up of energy. What is actually happening in that process? It is sending light through your body and reading what comes back. So there is dark parts and light parts. The amount of light or dark that we actually see is showing us how much light is in the body. Your body is energy and light has to move through it. There are these different fields that come off your body, and your body is always receiving and decoding and sending electronic signals from it. Now, by using our intuition, learning to isolate the different fields, we can read that language in the light. We can actually see what's going on inside the body, inside each field, like the emotional field, the thought field, the creator field, all the different pieces. So any thought that you have is coming from an electronic signal. Now, this has been tested with science. This has been measured many times. So at the core of any thought is always light. That light then turns into an electronic signal in your brain, which creates forces, and your body just knows how to decode that information. It's always happening without you realizing it. So right now, your subconscious is running thousands and thousands of processes every second that you're probably not even aware of. It's sending instructions to and from the brain that is telling your body how to function. We know this is happening. This is actually my favorite way to see it from the light perspective is thinking about your vision. So the things that you're seeing in front of you are not actually physical. Your vision detects the light first. Then it turns that light into codes, into signals, which then travels into the brain, and the brain receives those electronic signatures, the electronic codes, and reads that information. It decodes that information and it then turns those signals into the pictures that you actually see. Or think about how your heart pumps constantly, uh pumping blood around the body. The brain is telling the heart to pump. The brain is telling the lungs to take in and in air. It's always happening. Your body is literally a walking decoder for energy and for light. It is the science of how we are all built. Here's

25 Plus Types And Training

SPEAKER_00 10:19

a fun fact: there are so many different forms of intuition that people don't actually realize. Most people will tell you about five or six different techniques or different forms, but there are actually more than 25. More than 25 different forms that we can tap into and use to pull this intuitive information. The way you are built, there are certain forms that you will be more inclined to be the best at. There are certain forms that you will gravitate towards because of how your intuition is wired. You will be stronger with certain forms than others. Now, I'm not saying that you shouldn't learn all the other forms because you absolutely should. You should know how to use them all, but there are certain forms that you will predominantly be better at and more gifted with. And this is actually one of the biggest reasons I see that hold people up or frustrate people when they're learning to develop their intuition. I see a lot of this with clients and students who have been developing their intuition and are just getting to that frustrated stage because it's not moving the way they want it to, outside of emotions and understanding how that influenced our intuition. One of the main holdups that we see with clients is when they aren't working with the foundational skill sets they should be using to unlock the rest of their skills. They are trying, it's kind of like trying to build a house without the foundations. Actually, here's a really good analogy. I think it's really good. So hopefully it lands. It works in my head. Think about learning to write. And you had some understanding of it, you kind of got the gist of it, and you just put the pen in your left hand. You start trying to write, it's uncomfortable, it's messy, it's not the perfection that you want. You start to form resistance because it's not enjoyable the whole time, it's uncomfortable, that you just throw your hands up and go, okay, I don't want to do this anymore. That's kind of what's happening with intuition. Where if I was to start with my dominant hand, which is my right hand, and I start learning to write with my right hand, I'm not going up against the barriers of it being uncomfortable, not knowing how to hold the pen, not worrying about my strength or my control because it's my natural build. So, this is what I would recommend is making sure that when you are starting to develop your intuition, that you are starting with the skill set that is meant for you, the foundational skill sets that you personally need to unlock the rest of the skill set, but also to enjoy it. The other piece that we see alongside this while we're talking about the holdups is the understanding of how it all works. We do need to understand how all the tools work, all the rules work. We need to understand all the spiritual laws of the universe, how everything comes together. So the

Using Intuition For Real Decisions

SPEAKER_00 13:32

purpose of intuition is really to replace the human thought. It's designed to get you out of the spinning brain, out of the ego, out of the fight or flight habit when dealing with situations and making decisions. Your brain, as cool as it is and as powerful as it is, it is wired to keep you safe and it will keep you stuck in loops. It will keep you second-guessing and stopping you from taking bigger risks. Now, that's because it doesn't want to feel the discomfort. Your brain will keep you exactly where you are just to keep things familiar. Now, your human brain also struggles to look at the bigger picture and will just make a decision on the specific moment and what is the perceived gain of a decision. Where intuition will come in and cut through all that noise. It can see the exact limiting beliefs or obstacles getting in the way of your goals or blocking you from healing from something. It looks at where you're at and where you want to go and can give you the step-by-step process on what to do and how to get there. Intuition works on everything and anything: your relationship, body business, your health, any decision, all of it. Intuition is the solution to everything, even healing from sickness and disease. Intuition will go in, see what's creating it, and find the solution. This is the piece I really get excited to talk about is intuition is the key to upgrading anything in your life. So to removing something, adding something, healing from something, anything you want to achieve, intuition can get you into the highest alignment on the fastest path. This is because, as intuitives, we can see the past, the present, and the future all at once. There's no such thing as time and space, they're all happening at once. So, why is this so important? Because everything in the physical has to start out in the energetic first. When we want to bring something into our lives or remove it, it has to start in the energetic. We look at the energetic component, we look at your goal, your dream relationship, your dream body, your dream business, dream income, and we can break it down piece by piece. What needs to happen? What is going to come up and get in the way? What actions we need to take to either stop that from occurring because it's already in the energetic form, or what energetic or physical component you need to add to move you into the highest alignment to bring that physical thing into your life. This is the fastest path to anything you want. And I do mean fastest because intuition eliminates the trial and error. We don't need to play it out to find out what's going to happen. We just need intuition. It eliminates your brain from trying to keep you safe. It eliminates you from outsourcing your decisions and getting stuck with 10 different answers. It gives you a direct line to what you have to do today, what to do tomorrow, where the obstacles are, and how to move around them. A really cool example of this might be say, let's you're let's say you're trying to build your ideal body. We would check if there was anything in the energetic blocking this. Then we can look at your unique formula to getting to that goal. What does your physical body need? How many days of exercise, how many minutes, how many reps, types of training, amounts, amount of rest that you need, how much water, the types of food. It can go on and on how deep we can take these formulas. You could be looking at how to call in more clients this month or how to make more money, bring in the perfect partner, how to improve a relationship, how to heal from something. The list is endless. We can read your energy field and see you are two weeks away from getting a cold or from securing a job all before it comes in. We can see what's coming, what's in the way, and what needs to be shifted before something lands. Here's a really cool story. I had a friend give me a call the other day about a financial decision she wanted to make in her business. Now, depending on her financial goals, which obviously we knew what they were, we looked at a bunch of different intuitive processes, a few timelines, and we were able to make a decision as to whether or not she should invest in this actual opportunity within her business, or was it going to create financial guilt? Was it going to put her in a position that it actually wasn't any benefit to her buying this thing? Or was it going to help her get to where she wanted to go the fastest? And that's what's so wild about intuition. It's not about just looking at this the decision right here, right now. It's about looking at the decision I make today that impacts the rest of my life. The decision that impacts my life five years from now. And as a human, just using the human brain, it's not great at looking at the big picture. We want that instant reaction. We make decisions based on how it's going to make us feel in the moment and not the bigger picture where our intuition is going, hold on, if you do this now, it will pay off in the future towards what you want most. I think that's pretty cool.

Emotions That Distort Your Signal

SPEAKER_00 19:12

On top of all of this, there are also the really cool things with intuition: reading future timelines, past lives, talking to source, having access to the higher self, and having access to the highest frequency information and so much more. One of the things that we do see come in and influence your intuition, and people sometimes mistake in their mistake their intuition for their emotions, but our emotions are actually the biggest factor that throws off the accuracy of someone's intuition. As humans, we can be heavily influenced by our emotions. Emotions are one of the greatest power sources we actually have access to. So if you're getting that feeling and you're really opinionated about something, it's probably not your intuition, it's your emotions. Intuition is extremely neutral, it doesn't have opinions. But when our emotions get in the way, our intuition will be impacted. The ego will take over, the brain wants to feel safe and the intuition starts to get cloudy. This is actually what's really crazy. Once our emotions go above about 17% towards the situation or towards the questions you're intuitively asking, your intuition will be compromised. Now that's not a very high level, 17%. This is why developing emotional mastery, learning to understand your emotions is actually really critical. Being able to handle your emotions in any situation so that your intuition is still firing and you can make calculated decisions. Definitely one of the most important pieces. And it is definitely one of the biggest reasons we see intuition not working for people or getting mixed answers and not trusting it, is because they're allowing their emotions to have too much of a say and not pulling the emotions down, neutralizing them before using their intuition. And that's something we want to be looking at the tools around how to keep our emotions in balance.

Stop Outsourcing Your Power

SPEAKER_00 21:19

So learning intuition is just like learning a language. It's just more specific, it's universal. And if I could say anything, learning to develop your intuition or working with an intuitive has to be one of the most powerful things you can do. Developing your own intuition allows you to stop outsourcing your power. It allows you to really start thinking for yourself, which obviously isn't heavily promoted to the masses, especially with our global reflection, like our global lesson at the moment, being that we are to learn to listen to our internal voice and not give away our power. We know that certain elite groups don't want us to have our power or to think for ourselves. They want to control us, but having intuition takes back that power. It stops you from second-guessing your decisions and allows you to make decisions that are in alignment with yourself and your happiness and your joy and your fulfillment and all the things that you want for this life. My hope is that everyone does develop their intuition, whether it be now or in the future, even if you just take a moment to sit and listen to your internal voice at any capacity. Because it is honestly one of the most game-changing decisions you can make for your life and your purpose. Very rarely do I make a decision now that isn't run through some form of intuitive process to make sure I'm making the right decision, to make sure I'm increasing my happiness, improving my relationships, my business, all of it. And honestly, if I can take my brain out of situations and stop overthinking things, I am down for that tool. Because we all know that when we get into the spirals of overthinking, it can be rough. And that's the other part is intuition can actually help us eliminate a lot of the barriers and obstacles that we get pushed up against. And that's no fun. So if you have made it this far into the episode, you are definitely here for a reason. You are probably meant to be a person in the world with one of the highest levels of intuition, and that is why you are hearing this information now. We always hear what we are meant to hear at the exact right time.
