Making the decision to embark on a life-changing journey — fighting the current at every step — didn’t appear out of nowhere. It wasn’t a long-held plan. It was a soul calling.
It was one of the experiences my Soul came to this plane, at this time in this planet’s lifetime, to experience.
Answering Your Soul’s Calling: Why Now Is the Time to Trust Yourself
But how did I know what to do?
How did I get there?
Isn’t it tiring hearing people say, “You just know”?
That feeling, that all-consuming desire to create and live on your own terms — it can feel paralyzing.
Not because you don’t know what to do, but because you want to do everything at once.
That deep knowing had been pushed down for so long that when I finally experienced its homecoming, it unleashed an overwhelming surge:
To create.
To act.
To be.
To live it.
Why Listening to Your Intuition Feels So Hard at First (And How to Start Anyway)
Yet I understood — logically — that the real journey, the real Soul-level transformation, would come from learning to swim with the current, not against it.
Learning to listen to my intuition is what got me here.
But how?
How do you hear intuition after years — maybe a lifetime — of ignoring it?
I learned it the hard way…
The Moment I Ignored My Inner Voice — and the Life Lessons It Gave Me
I found myself sitting under a 75-degree night sky outside the house that was supposed to be my dream home.
Words were spoken to me that night — words that didn’t make sense, that didn’t fit into the life I thought I was building.
They didn’t match the reality of the dream car I had been gifted just three months earlier.
They knocked down a fragile foundation I hadn’t realized was already cracked.
I felt something — a fleeting sense of peace, a flash of stillness amid the chaos.
That fleeting peace was my intuition.
But I didn’t recognize it then.
It dashed through me too fast — too quick for an untrained psyche, too subtle for a body that had only known survival.
I didn’t listen.
The #1 Rule for Rebuilding Intuition: Stillness Before Strategy
That was my first lesson: intuition doesn’t shout — it whispers.
You must be still enough to hear it.
The Brutal, Beautiful Journey of Rebuilding My Intuition
You see, when your inner voice gets suppressed over and over, it’s like a fish swimming upstream.
Every inch of progress feels like a battle.
You don’t even realize the voice is still there — until life demands you listen.
Undoing the layers built on unstable foundations is brutal work.
It can mean sleeping on floor mattresses with your child.
It can mean feeding your kids using someone else’s debit card.
It can mean walking with your pain, not around it.
But start anyway.
Even if you’re scared.
Even if you’re ashamed.
Especially then.
I had no toolkit. No map.
Just a broken mirror, an aching heart, and a stubborn will to find a better way.
In that chaos, I discovered five daily rituals that slowly — one tiny step at a time — rebuilt my intuition and changed my life.
5 Sacred Rituals That Awaken and Strengthen Your Inner Voice
1. Meditation Magic: How 2 Minutes a Day Can Unlock Your Inner Clarity
My first meditation happened in a closet.
Two minutes before the kids found me — and it was life-changing.
For the first time, I realized there were thoughts beyond my endless to-do lists.
There were feelings inside me I hadn’t let myself feel.
Meditation taught me that silence is not empty — it’s full of answers.
The meditative sitting pose — often called seated meditation posture — is a way of sitting that supports stillness, alertness, and deep breathing.
The classic pose is known as “Easy Pose” (Sukhasana) or “Lotus Pose” (Padmasana) in yoga, but there are several variations depending on your flexibility and comfort.
Here’s what a basic meditative sitting pose looks like:
- Seated on the floor (or a cushion/meditation bench to elevate your hips)
- Legs crossed comfortably (not forced)
- Spine straight but relaxed — imagine a string gently pulling the top of your head upward
- Shoulders relaxed and rolled slightly back
- Chin slightly tucked so your neck is aligned
- Hands resting on your knees or in your lap (palms facing up or down)
- Eyes closed or softly gazing at the floor a few feet ahead
- Breathing naturally through the nose
Some people also meditate kneeling (called Seiza position) or sitting in a chair with both feet flat on the ground if crossing the legs is uncomfortable.
The key isn’t forcing yourself into a perfect shape — it’s creating a stable, upright, and relaxed posture that you can stay in comfortably for a while.
2. Journaling to Heal: Finding Your Voice on the Page
The moment I left that closet, I grabbed my journal.
Journaling is a sacred conversation with yourself.
It makes space for the swirling, messy, beautiful chaos inside you.
No rules. No performance.
Just honesty.
Through journaling, I found pieces of myself I had long abandoned.
3. Automatic Writing for Beginners: Channel Deeper Wisdom Without Overthinking
From journaling, I discovered automatic writing — letting the pen move without conscious thought.
Automatic writing bypasses the mind’s defenses.
It taps into deeper wisdom and hidden emotions.
Automatic writing is a practice where you write without consciously controlling what you’re putting on the page — almost like letting your hand and pen move on their own.
It’s often used for self-discovery, emotional release, creative inspiration, or even spiritual connection.
Here’s how it usually works:
- You relax your mind, often through meditation or deep breathing.
- You set an intention or ask a question (optional).
- You start writing whatever comes, without judging, editing, or planning.
- You allow the words to flow freely, even if they seem random, strange, or disconnected at first.
- You write continuously for a set time or until you feel a natural stopping point.
4. How Reframing Your Pain Can Activate Your Inner Power
Journaling broke the mirror I was staring into — the one where I didn’t recognize myself.
It made me feel my pain.
It made me question my stories.
It forced me to choose differently.
Reframing isn’t about pretending the hurt didn’t happen.
It’s about assigning a new meaning to your experiences — one that empowers you rather than paralyzes you.
I lived the exact emotional process of reframing:
Seeing → Feeling → Questioning → Choosing differently.
Reframing is the practice of changing the way you see your pain, your experiences, and your story.
It doesn’t erase what happened — it transforms your relationship to it.
In my journey, reframing looked like this:
- First, the mirror shattered — I saw everything clearly for the first time: the wounds, the injustice, the weight of what I found myself now carrying alone.
- Then, through reflection (journaling, walking, meditation), I started to ask different questions — not just “why did this happen to me?” but “what do these wounds reveal about what needs healing in me?”
- Instead of drowning in the unfairness or staying trapped in blame, I began to shift my perspective:
- From victimhood to self-responsibility.
- From helplessness to choice.
- From bleeding out to healing intentionally, one shard at a time
Reframing is when you decide:
“This pain will not just destroy me — it will teach me, strengthen me, and lead me to a more authentic life.”
It’s not about denying what hurt you.
It’s about giving new meaning to your experience so that it empowers your next steps instead of paralyzing you.
5. Courageous Action: 3 Steps to Build the Life Your Soul Is Asking For
All the inner work means nothing without action.
Strengthening your intuition demands movement.
It demands messy, imperfect, courageous steps — even when you’re scared.
Even when you have every reason to give up, you move anyway.
How to Recognize When Your Soul Is Awakening (Even If Life Still Looks Messy)
Intuition isn’t built in grand epiphanies.
It’s built in daily devotion — in two-minute closet meditations, tear-streaked journal pages, angry walks in the park, and small moments of choosing yourself.
You already have the voice inside you.
You already know the way.
Now, you just have to keep swimming — one breath, one brick at a time.
Building a New Foundation: A Life Where Your Voice Leads the Way
And then, one day, you realize that the house that was supposed to be your forever home — the one never felt comfortable in, with the kids’ bedrooms on a different floor and too much space for any one person to maintain — no longer holds the attachment you thought it did.
And then, sitting in your work-from-home office, you realize:
the work you do is unfulfilling.
You realize there is no passion.
You start to remember the dreams you once had — to own your own business, to create your own schedule, to help others in a way that feels authentic to you.
And in between the phone calls, the keyboard clacks, the piles of laundry and the packing…
you stop.
And there’s a remembrance — of everything you sacrificed to be here.
And this, is the beginning of the hard work that will become the cornerstone of your new foundation.
It’s the first of many moments that will begin to reshape life — a life in which you begin to let go – in which you acknowledge that you are the decision-maker of a life where you decide what and who truly matters enough for you to hold space.
You’ve just set the stage for the dedication, the skill-building, and the craftsmanship required to answer your soul’s calling — to stop pushing down that inner knowing.
When you finally sit with it, feel its homecoming, and unleash that overwhelming surge to create, to act, to be, and to live on purpose — that’s when everything shifts.
Now is the time for rest. Let the commitment you’ve just made sink in — the commitment to trust your own voice, to rebuild from within.
It’s time to go inward.
