As a Spiritual Life & Business Coach, one of my core operating principles is that everyone is intuitive. Some people’s intuitive senses start out louder than others’, and depending on the environment and dynamics you grew up in or were socialized around, your relationship to listening to and trusting yourself may feel challenging at times.

But I promise, you’re still intuitive. It’s in your nature, just like it is to be creative, but alas – that’s a perspective piece for another day. 😉

Your intuition is the part of you that just knows. It’s the wise inner knower in all of us that can sense when the car in the lane next to you is about to swerve in front of you and tells you to brake, and the instincts that know exactly what your baby needs to feel soothed when they’re fussy. Primal and instinctive, intuition is a very effective survival mechanism that humans have honed and benefited from for a very long time.

Your intuition is also your direct channel to the Divine. When you use your intuition, you’re connecting to Source, your Angels, your higher self. In doing so, you can carry out your soul’s purpose and assignment with greater ease, and way more magic.

Intuition Defined

Intuition is defined as the ability to understand something immediately, without the need for conscious reasoning; a thing that one knows or considers likely from instinctive feeling rather than logic.

Intuition x Manifestation: The Dynamic Duo

Connecting to your intuition can aid in the manifestation process by helping you clarify your goals and desires, guide your decision-making, and recognize aligned opportunities and synchronicities when you see them! 

Intuition connects you to yourself. The more connected you are to self, the more connected you are to your desires. And the more in tune you are with your intuition, the more easily and swiftly you’ll manifest.

The Intuitive Senses

The intuitive senses, or “clairs,” are like the traditional five senses’ cool, witchy aunt. These senses are a form of heightened awareness or understanding that come from within, rather than from external sources. 

Understanding which intuitive senses come most naturally to you, and which you want to hone or develop, can help you supercharge your manifestations by connecting you to your extrasensory perceptions and inner guidance system.

Here are some of the most common intuitive senses and the manifestation practices they pair well with:

Claircognizance – Clear Knowing

If you are claircognizant, your intuition will tell you whether an action step or decision is aligned for you. You’ll just know.

I love using Human Design to understand my decision making process through the lens of my authority. I’m a Generator with Emotional Authority in Human Design, so my gut will tell me if something is right for me, and then I get to sleep on it and wait for emotional neutrality (not an emotional high or low) to know for sure.

Claireloquence – Clear Communicating

If you experience claireloquence, you’ll likely enjoy intuitive writing, self-channeling, and the manifestation practice of scripting. When you set a goal or desire, journal as if it has already manifested in your physical experience. Write about how fun it was for the manifestation to land, how you celebrated, what the experience felt like in your body, or where you were when you got the news. Use this to generate energy towards bringing your desires to life.

Clairvoyance – Clear Seeing

If you are clairvoyant, you have a gift for intuiting visions and visuals. Let your intuition show you what your desired reality looks like! Practice visualizing your manifestations coming to fruition, either on your own or through guided visualization meditations. Remember to put yourself in the scene and see it as already done. 

Clairsentience – Clear Feeling
With clairsentience, you can physically feel and take on the emotions and sensations of others, or of alternate timelines or versions of yourself. Use this to your advantage by practicing conjuring up the feelings you’ll feel when your manifestation has arrived. Feel the satisfaction, the joy, the peace, the ease.

Bonus points for adding rituals, activities, and people into your life that give you those same feelings! This is how you become an energetic match for what you want.

Clairaudience – Clear Hearing
With clairaudience, intuitive wisdom comes to you through sound. Practice self-inquiry or asking your Spirit Guides or angels for guidance and listen for what you hear. Play around with these prompts and tailor them to your situation and your own intuition (for example, if you hear buzzing or ringing rather than words or sounds, try asking a yes/no question and see if you get a different response!).

Prompts for invoking your clairaudience:

• What’s my next step?
• Is ____ the best decision?
• Is ____ right for me right now?
• What do I need to know?
• What has previously been hidden that is now being revealed to me?
