We’re programmed NOT to trust our own intuition -- Why developing your intuition is hard

[@noOnionswithoutTears]

In 2001 I lived in NYC and worked as an office temp in lower Manhattan. I had a gig at Credit Suisse. Night of September 10, something kept me up all night, smoking cigarettes on my back stairs. I got zero sleep and called in to say I would be there at ten o’clock instead of nine. While I was still in Brooklyn, the first plane hit WTC tower. Then the second plane hit. I was home safe and not at my jobsite, located directly across the street from the Twin Towers. My intuition saved my life.

[@RegardsRei]

Oh wow… 😳 that’s incredible. I’m so glad you are safe.

[@Hawaii_Sakura_88]

Hi Rei, Great video! Such an important message. So many lives led astray down unfulfilling paths because we were groomed to follow rules and norms instead of our own innate knowingness. Thank you for addressing the topic in a light and approachable way. 😌🙏✨

[@natdev6342]

I am working on this exact thing. What I’m finding is the ability to live in the 3D with strong intuition isn’t always easy but when it’s all flowing it’s very easy. Because I not only listen to my intuition but I auto act in it. NOW I don’t question. I just do. That makes things easier when you are aligned 🌸

[@abbyblueco]

I'm so glad you mentioned the reliance people put on doctors. From an early age, it drove me up a wall the way everyone would automatically tell you to go see a doctor, or that you should be going several times a year. Any problem you have should be seen by a doctor... I have always been so in tune with my body, to a point of "annoyance" at times (feeling and sensing everything all the time) and always would say -- and still do say -- that I know my own body better than anyone else. If there is something that comes up, I am going to try to treat it naturally myself. Until my body is alarming me I need outside help, then I will seek other sources, but still, they will be holistic and natural doctors, not pharmaceutical doctors. Anyway, this isn't to say you shouldn't get check-ups because there's plenty of conditions that can develop sight unseen. But more often than not, you can hear whether something is wrong with you body if you just listen.

[@KaavyaBector-k1u]

oh my....this is WHYY! And yes you are right, it isn't easy not letting others thoughts affect you. Listening to your own unique voice is very difficult.

[@MandySilva189]

Yes, I am very intuitive as well. I often have lucid, premonitory dreams. I used to be even more sensitive but between the ages of 19-21 I had a rebellious phase where I experimented with different illegal substances and it kinda deemed my intuition. I’m slowly working on getting it back now that I don’t even drink alcohol anymore. I’m also not as afraid of it as it used to be. It used to freak me out. Perhaps that’s why I self-medicated.

[@Starlight_Pho3nix]

Everything you’re describing are traits of an Empath. There are different kinds of Empaths too. If you haven’t looked into it, I highly suggest it. It’s helped me immensely on my own spiritual journey so far.

[@pp-1954]

For me, asking questions were suppressed (my background is korean culture) and taught to follow the authorities/teachers guidance great video

[@gabidaariel]

Hi, Rei, I can't thank you enough for helping us on this journey and putting clearly into words what's been going on with many of us . Greetings from Brazil and much love to all. ❤❤❤

[@miechelleantoinette]

YES!!!! OH I STARTED CRYING.. I have felt my whole life feeling like an alien. I need to find your i.g . Thank you!!

[@67daisygerman]

I’m still learning but I do realize i may be empathetic& as a kid I was told “ don’t worry about it it’s not your problem “ or was called dramatic when I expressed emotion 😭 then a became a very egotistic teen 🫠🫠 I’m learning to unfu’ck my brain - also ! I really appreciate your videos 💕💕 thank you ☺️☺️✨

[@NameTemplate]

True, Thank You

[@drugged_swans]

I had similar childhood experiences. I use to get a physical pain in my forehead when someone was lying or I was thinking something untrue. I knew what number would come up after rolling dice, I could find missing objects et cetera. Thank you for strengthening my beliefs in our power :)

[@nicolacoggins1660]

It was beaten out of me when I was young x

[@openmystic]

A number of important points made in this video. I kept a link to it! I was - fortunately - always an outlier and have a strong, occasionally premonitory, intuition. As a techie, also highly dependent on logic resources. When making decisions, I know that if both logic and intuition agree, then I know for sure that an accurate judgement is at hand.

[@Vidasinvida]

👀😗🤯🤯🤯🫢😮😲 All of that is me through out this video lmaooo Thank you for your videos!!! 🫶🩷✨

Thanks

[@risingphoenixtarotarot]

Such a good video Rei! So funny when you think about us being Americans where we think of ourselves as independent and free. Mass hypnosis.

[@GSconsciousness]

I love your videos so much. Thanks !

[@fultymhustla]

Timely!! My dark night of the soul has made it so hard for me to distinguish between my intuition and anxious thoughts

[@RegardsRei]

Awesome, I’m glad you’re finding it useful. I’m working on a three part intuition series, this being the first part. But I completely understand the confusion, it was like that for me too. Now, I can distinguish because my intuitive messages usually come repetitively and consistently until I listen, and it feels more solid at the gut, as if truth is arising from the body. If it’s just my thoughts or fear, it tends to go away. Let me know how it feels for you.

[@fultymhustla]

@@RegardsRei Your videos are always helpful and I make sure to let you know every time. Our journies are very similar so I relate to you so much. The hardest has been the ego dissolution and having no identity, but the ego so badly wants to hold on to the traumas from childhood so it can cling on. This gave me so much social anxiety etc. I'm doing much better now that I have decided to sit with the fear instead of running away from it. For this reason I do not get gut feelings anymore or should I say I have detached myself from emotions due to such turbulent/scary period. My intuition is always calm and direct. No matter how anxious I feel, deep down I have this inner knowing of sort? I still doubt it so much though even if it is right most of the time. Working on it each day with meditations and cutting out external validations/addictions and learning to trust the consciousness within more.

[@RegardsRei]

Wow, yeah, seems like our journeys are similar. I also got better when I started to sit with my fear and trauma and bring some light to it instead of repressing it.

[@gladystan9328]

Love your videos. Yes, we can all tap into our intuition.

[@neetaarora7908]

Yes, most of the upbringing and education actually kills the authenticity and attuning with our body and mind which can be great guides for life, love. Instead we are stuffed with stuff that stiffens and suffocates most of the sensitive ones atleast. And requires unlearning, deconditioning... after a lot of suffering, loss and feeling lost and stressed.

[@GordoVT]

It’s pretty chilly where I’m at

I found a great solution against the heat, I water my clothes, feels refreshing, water take heat from the body to evaporate and it feels good, can focus to study, like brain stops from overheat. THANK YOU♡☆♡

[@sophieCAPYBARAgroth]

I think at my last job I wasn’t listening to my intuition that I was meant to leave, so life started throwing things at me that eventually forced me to leave. I got injured at work twice in 5 months, got covid in the hospital after a work car accident, got written up, and was close to being fired when I got a job offer right away from somewhere else. I do feel as if everything “clicked” into place, but I don’t necessarily feel happy where I am now. Is this common? Any insight is appreciated.

[@amyj.4992]

Adults only see children as things with needs, instead of respecting them as individuals. My mother always taught me, that children are people with their own feelings too. So don't treat them, less than

Hey we would love to see a video on how to develop intuitions. And btw great video 😄 , it's 42° here

[@itzakpoelzig330]

I've had premonitory dreams, but only about bad sex that I was going to have. Kind of a weird thing to get warned about. 🤣 I'd like to develop my intuitive powers so I can get a wider range of insights.

[@adhiraj.shankar]

Hi Rei, this video was very precious - thank you for sharing! I am curious as to what your MBTI personality type is - I think you might be an INFJ! It'd be great to listen to your experience in a video in case you've taken the MBTI test and if you resonated with it.

[@daniel4647]

What you've noticed is the human domestication system. This is unfortunately still a very necessary system. When I first discovered it I was not very happy about it either, and I tried to tell anyone that would listen. But the way I've come to see it is that human is a spectrum going from animal to human, it's sort of weird maybe, especially for those of us that have always been more human than animal it's very hard to understand why such a system is necessary. But it's also hard for us to understand why wars and murder and other terrible things happen, it seems so easy to just not do that, but clearly that's not the case for all of us, yet. The truth is, we're a very ferocious and dangerous animal at our core, and much of human civilization is built upon our ability to control (or suppress) these instincts. In many ways civilization can be seen as a cage we built for ourselves in order to mass domesticate animals and turn them into humans. Definitely not a perfect system, but it is much better than letting people just be wild. I know it's easy to romanticize the wild person, but we're not your bunny, even a tiger couldn't come close to the savagery we're capable of due to our heightened intelligence. In our society we teach people some extremely powerful magic, math, biology, chemistry, etc. If we don't pair this with domestication this power would be used in terrible ways. We can't just have people running around getting intuitive hits about how easily they could rule the world if they just freed themselves moral philosophy, ignored authority, and started using all the knowledge available to them for selfish goals. And we also can't have people that just listen to their emotions be capable of creating super viruses or nuclear weapons. That's why we used to hide particularly powerful magic behind Doctors, people that had been indoctrinated with special knowledge intended to prevent them from using this power for evil. Not always effective, but it works much better than just letting them have that hidden knowledge without any training in ethics or tests to determine their morality and so on. You can think of it like giving people spiritual training before we teach them magic in order to stop them from using this magic to destroy everything and enslaving us all. It's an ongoing battle, but we're getting there, I think.

I had a similar experience as a child

I have so many dreams about people who going to dye and after that i have dreams like they are let me know about changes in my life or they are coming to me when i fill depressed 😒😒😒so many other things

[@SophiaGraceLove2024]

My family and I were all religious but I am also very intuitive. Ever since I was young, I always dreamed of predicting the future, and it always turned into reality. And I realized that intuition is Holy spirit because Jesus is in us and we hear his voice through 0ur heart. After knowing that, I am no longer religious. Because religion is brain washing us to trust the law which is men outside of us but Holy spirit is in us so we must trust ourself which is Holy spirit in us. Religion teaches us exactly opposite of it that is not true gospel and I kept ignoring my intuition and followed religion and it almost killed me. It led me to death. Because the letter(law) kills but the spirit gives life” (2 Corinthians 3:4-6).

[@GordoVT]

My intuition disappearing I think that happened to me before

[@anonymousz2065]

I can resonate with this ❤

[@sinqueen16]

I think I do have that but nothing has happened so far... exception for natural disasters I had dreams of weeks before they happened somewhere in the world but when it comes to my life so far I am just too confused my dreams seem to have messages but not sure anymore what they mean... too much going on. I feel confused between reality and am I just crazy...

Hi Rei I love your videos. (hot in Kentucky)

[@Jess-zm5xt]

It’s sad because so much of what’s in religion in the Bible is God saying that there are gifts of dream prophecies and inner knowing from the Holy Spirit or the collective as it’s also known. As society has progressed into science/logic, we have lost our own souls. There are so many religious rules and regulations but no spiritual or soul knowledge which is the essence of God. I’m sorry that happened to you, it’s so interesting seeing the world wake up.
