A common phrase I used to hear when studying intuition was that you had to “go into your heart” to be more intuitive. For a long time, I didn’t understand what it meant to “go into your heart.” As I did some research, I learned fascinating things about love and intuition. I discovered not only what they meant by going into your heart but also how love can enhance intuition! Stay with me because I’m going to share it all with you.
One of the strongest energetic connections we have to the world around us and to other people is through our physical heart and the energy that is centered there. The researchers at HeartMath have been able to measure the electromagnetic energy that emanates from our hearts and discovered that it extends out as far as 20 feet! We can feel and interact with that energy. Metaphysically, our heart energy is the energy of love. What that means is our heart is connected to our feelings of love. We feel that energy when we are in love or feeling love. There have been scientific studies that have shown that the heart is involved in receiving, processing, and decoding intuitive information along with the brain and possibly other systems in the body. Your heart has its own internal nervous system comprised of a complex system of over 40,000 neurons that, according to HeartMath studies, “gives the heart the ability to independently sense, process information, make decisions, and even demonstrate a type of learning and memory.” It’s like it has its own brain.
So how do we go into this mini heart brain and connect to the intuitive information it contains? From experience, intuitives always tell you to connect with love. If you want to be telepathic with your loved one, then think of how much you love them, and allow yourself to be filled with that feeling of love. I discovered this myself one day by accident when my son was seven years old. I was lying in bed watching television with my son as he was sitting on the edge of the bed with his back towards me. For some reason, I found myself staring at his back and just feeling so much love for him that I wanted him to be closer to me so I could give him a big hug. All of a sudden, at that very moment, he turned his head around and quickly crawled over to me so I could hug him. I hadn’t said a word nor made a sound. How did he know just in that moment? I asked him, “How did you know I wanted you to come over so I could give you a hug?” He just shrugged his shoulders. I believe that by feeling my strongest love for him, he ‘heard’ me intuitively and just acted on it.
We can enhance our intuition by connecting to someone through love. Nicole Mayhew of Saratoga Springs, Utah, was at work when she had an intuitive message that she needed to go home to check on her husband, Scott. He was at home working on their Ford Explorer when it fell off the jack onto his chest. He was pinned, could hardly breathe, and had no way to call for help. All he could do was pray. He said, “I just knew if I hung on long enough, my prayers would be answered, and she would know to come home.” Nicole’s intuition sent her a message as a feeling she needed to rush home to check on him, and it was just in time. When she drove into the driveway and got out of her car, she heard him say, “Help me, love.” She knew immediately that the car was on him because, as she put it, “That’s what’s in my head.” She and a neighbor were able to jack up the car and get it off him after calling 911. Scott was taken to the hospital and had several broken ribs but was expected to make a full recovery.
So, how do you use your heart intentionally to connect to someone intuitively? Think of someone you do love and imagine that they are there with you. Think of the things they do that you love about them; is it something they often say or do? Maybe just remembering how they look fills you with a feeling of love. Once you have them in your mind, you can ask your intuition a question for them. How is my love? What are they doing now? See what pops up. If nothing else, it’s a great way to send someone love.
You can do the same kind of approach with someone or something you don’t love. If you want intuitive information about them or it, send out love in their direction. Feel the love you have for a loved one, and then as you think about them, ask your intuition a question about the other thing you wanted information on. Make sure you are in a calm place and that you feel relaxed because it will help you sort out your feelings. If you want to get intuitive information about a difficult situation or person, send the situation love first. Just imagine you are sending out that feeling of love in their direction to them. Then ask your intuition to help you with what to do.
How to do this
1. Practice Using Your Heart Energy of Love
We love other people and often remember that feeling of missing someone we love, but a stronger feeling that is easier to send out is when we experience the expanded, light, and happy warmth of love. Here are some steps to practice:
- Think about a time when someone you loved made you smile or laugh; it was just them being themselves and the feeling it gave you.
- Remember and see if you can recall that feeling.
- Now imagine with your thoughts that you can expand it and fill the room with it. You’ve just used the energy of love.
2. Connecting Intuitively Through Love
The next time you want to use love with intuition do the following. Think of someone you love, imagine you are filling yourself with that love, and then focus on your intuitive question or connection. This practice will enhance your ability to receive intuitive information.
3. Sending Love to Difficult Situations
If you need intuitive guidance about a difficult person or situation, send love in their direction first. Feel the love you have for someone else and direct that feeling towards the situation. This act of love will help you calm down and clear your mind, making it easier for your intuition to provide insights.
By practicing these techniques, you'll find that love can significantly enhance your intuitive abilities, helping you connect more deeply with others and receive clearer guidance in various aspects of your life.
