Why We Lose Touch with Our Intuition

Our modern world emphasizes rational thinking, encouraging us to weigh pros and cons, seek advice, and make decisions based on logic. While logical reasoning has its place, constantly ignoring your intuitive guidance can lead to confusion and indecision.

Here are some common reasons why we lose touch with our inner wisdom:

• Overthinking

  Many of us fall into the trap of second-guessing ourselves, endlessly analyzing situations until we feel paralyzed. This analysis paralysis disconnects us from the quick, instinctual guidance that our intuition provides.

• Ignoring Red Flags

  We’ve all have that gut feeling when something just doesn’t feel right. But instead of listening to it, we often ignore these intuitive insights in favor of what seems logical or acceptable on the surface. The more we ignore these red flags, the more we distance ourselves from our intuition.

• Society’s Emphasis on Logic

  From a young age, we’re taught to rely on reason and evidence when making decisions. While these are valuable tools, intuition—which is often subtle and not easily explained—is frequently sidelined in the process.

Kari’s message is clear: your intuition never leaves you. Even if you’ve been taught to suppress it, you can reconnect with this powerful inner guide at any time.

Understanding the Power of Your Chakras in Decision-Making

To better understand intuition, Kari highlights the role of chakras—the energy centers in your body that influence your well-being and intuitive ability.

• Root Chakra

  Located at the base of your spine, this chakra grounds you and connects you to feelings of safety and security. When you’re grounded, you make decisions from a place of confidence.

• Heart Chakra

  Positioned at the center of your chest, it plays a key role in your intuition. It bridges the physical and spiritual worlds, allowing you to make decisions that align with both your emotional and spiritual needs.

• Third Eye Chakra

  Situated in the middle of your forehead, this chakra is known for enhancing intuitive insight. It governs your ability to see beyond the surface and tap into intuitive wisdom.

By understanding these energy centers, you can begin to notice how your body responds to different situations and choices.

How to Reconnect with Your Intuition

If you’ve lost touch with your intuition, don’t worry—Kari provides practical steps to help you tap back into this inner wisdom. Reconnecting with your intuition takes practice, but with consistent effort, it becomes easier to trust yourself and make decisions confidently.

• Body Awareness

  Your body is constantly sending you signals, but many of us are too focused on our thoughts to notice. Start by asking yourself: Where do I feel tension? Where do I feel relaxed? By tuning into these physical sensations, you can get a better sense of how your body reacts to different choices.

  Action Tip:

  Check in with your body throughout the day, especially when you’re faced with a decision. Notice whether you feel open and receptive or tense and closed off—this is your intuition guiding you.

• Heart-Centered Focus

  Kari emphasizes the importance of your heart chakra in decision-making. Viewing your heart as the seat of your wisdom can transform how you approach choices.

  Action Tip:

  Place your hand over your heart and take deep breaths to center yourself. This simple practice helps you calm your mind and tune into your intuitive guidance.

• Calm Your Mind

  It’s hard to hear your intuition when your mind is cluttered with thoughts. Creating a calm, receptive mental space allows intuitive messages to come through more clearly.

  Action Tip:

  Practice deep breathing or meditation to quiet your mind. Imagine your thoughts settling like leaves on a still pond. When your mind is clear, you’ll find it easier to access intuitive insights.

Strengthen Your Intuition Through Regular Practice

Kari encourages practicing these techniques regularly to strengthen your connection with your intuition. The more you trust your inner wisdom, the clearer it becomes. By making a habit of checking in with your body and heart throughout the day, you’ll cultivate a stronger, more reliable relationship with your intuition.

The Magic Lesson: Trust Yourself

Kari wraps up the podcast with an important magic lesson: remind yourself every day that you have all the answers within you. When you find yourself second-guessing a choice or seeking validation from others, pause and trust your own intuitive insight. You are the best guide for your own life.

The next time you face a decision, remind yourself: “I am intuitive. I have all the answers within me.” This simple affirmation will help reinforce your self-trust and strengthen your connection to your inner wisdom.
