Can Anyone Improve Intuition? If you’re looking to better connect with your inner knowing and improve intuition, you may have wondered whether it’s a gift reserved for a select few or something available to everyone. What I’ve learned after years, is that it’s more accessible than you believe. You simply need to practice, a little courage, and a willingness to trust what you receive. Group Energy Makes Intuition Stronger Over the weekend I participated in a reading circle. There were five women, and one by one we each asked a question while the others shared intuitive insights. I always enjoy gatherings like these, because when women come together to work with inner wisdom, the energy is greatly amplified. This creates stronger guidance and it’s one of the reasons why I love working in groups and leading them as well. Groups amplify the energy beyond what one person can typically access alone, and it seems to open something in everyone involved. One woman asked a question about a healing client, which turned out to be a horse. I haven’t done a lot of animal communication, although it does come up from time to time. Because of that, I’m not overly confident in this area and tend to trust myself more easily with humans. But the question was about helping the woman facilitate healing for the horse, so I did my best to tune in. What I heard turned out to be accurate, much to my surprise and delight. As I closed my eyes to focus, I heard a voice speaking to me, but I didn’t trust what was being shared. I immediately questioned it and wondered, “Am I making this up?” Then, in my mind’s eye, I saw the horse scraping the ground with his front right hoof, clearly saying, “No, this is me, you are not making it up.” That was enough for me to settle in and listen. The Horse’s Message The horse didn’t like his situation and wanted to be moved from his stall in the barn. He also indicated there was some kind of discord between himself and the other two horses, although he didn’t go into detail. When it was my turn to share, I felt hesitant. I took a breath, acknowledged my uncertainty, and then repeated exactly what I had received. The woman’s response completely surprised me. She confirmed there were three horses. Originally, the male horse and a female had spent a lot of time together. Then another male was brought in, and the female bonded with him, leaving the original male on the outside. His stall was on one end next to the new male, while the female was on the opposite end, no longer near him. This shift in relationship was distressing for him. The healer already knew the situation existed and confirmed it. She said she would speak to the owner about moving the horse for emotional reasons. Animal communicators often say horses are one of the most psychic animals and quite capable of telepathy. I guess so. This is exactly the kind of moment that builds self-trust, when you receive something you weren’t fully sure about, and it turns out to be REAL. Learn to Trust What You Get Back when I started learning to open up my intuition, I took many classes on psychic development and explored a wide range of tools. I tried everything I could find: clairvoyance, listening to spirit, writing messages from my guides, and psychometry, which involves holding an object and reading the energy connected to it. It took me a while to catch on. I practiced a lot before I felt comfortable or confident in what I was receiving. Today, the Vibration is Higher and Faster When I started teaching classes in the late 1990s, people would often catch on much faster than I did. They seemed to access things right away, whereas I had spent a long time developing my skills. I believe that has a lot to do with how quickly energy is moving today and how much the frequencies have shifted. When I first started, teachers said it took many years of consistent work to develop these abilities, but that’s not necessarily the case anymore. That said, practice still matters enormously. When you do the work, you begin to trust yourself more. And when you keep track of the messages you receive in a journal, even in simple bullet points, it gives you evidence you can look back on. When you think about intuition, when working with the unseen there is often no obvious proof that something meaningful has happened. But when you write it down, you can later look back and see what you heard and unfolded as a result. It’s one of the fastest ways I know to build self-trust and confidence. This becomes the proof you need to believe in yourself. How I Honed My Intuition I got serious about my intuitive journey by taking a past life course that lasted three months with six women and a teacher. We kept resigning, extending the program into a full year. This is where I first experienced how group energy amplifies your intuitive ability. Over that year, we all grew significantly and learned how to access past lives that were influencing our present experiences. Through the year, I became very close with one of the women, who is still a dear friend today. As we discussed what we were learning, something became clear to us. We realized that looking into the past was essentially the same skill as sensing the present or even looking into the near future. So, we began experimenting by asking questions about next steps in work situations or how to navigate personal challenges. To our surprise, it worked beautifully. It’s All the Same Skill What I’ve come to believe is that the skill you use to connect with intuition is the same, whether you’re tuning into the past or the present, seeking guidance, communicating with animals, or energy itself. The form may look different, but the connection is the same. I’ve seen this in my own experience. Even though I never formally studied animal communication, I was able to connect with that horse. The ability translates across different forms of intuitive work. That doesn’t mean every area feels equally strong right away, but it does mean the door is already open for you. I say this to let you know that you can do this too. It simply requires openness, awareness, intention, and practice. If you feel drawn to your intuitive abilities, follow that. Practice with a friend, or join a small group — that’s one of the fastest ways to build trust in yourself. If you’re listening and thinking, I want to do this… but I’m not sure how to start or how to trust what I’m getting, this is exactly why I created my program, Awaken Your Sixth Sense. This program will help you recognize your intuitive signals, trust what you receive, and actually use it in your everyday life when you’re making decisions or looking for answers. It’s simple, practical, and self-paced, with easy exercises you can start using right away, so you can discover what works best for you. And at just $27, with seven lessons, this makes it an easy way to get started without overthinking it. Because intuition isn’t something reserved for a select few. It’s something you already have. And when you begin to trust it, life starts to feel a lot more supportive and often more magical too. Key Takeaways Group energy amplifies intuitive ability beyond what one person can typically access alone. That’s why working in small groups accelerates development significantly. Doubt is a normal part of receiving intuitive information. Learning to push through it, rather than shutting down, is central to building trust in yourself. Journaling your intuitive hits, even brief bullet points, creates evidence you can return to, and that evidence is what builds lasting self-confidence. The skill behind intuition is universal. Whether you’re tuning into a person, an animal, the past, or the present, you’re using the same core ability. Intuitive frequencies are faster today than they were decades ago, meaning people often develop these skills more quickly now than ever before. Practice and community are the two fastest paths to developing confidence in your intuitive gifts. Frequently Asked Questions What is the most effective way to improve intuition? The most effective way to improve intuition is consistent practice. Tuning in regularly, whether alone, with a friend, or in a group, builds the muscle and helps you build confidence. How can I begin to trust my intuitive insights? Write your insights down in a journal used just for your intuitive work. This gives you a way to track your accuracy. You can look back and see how you did. Can anyone communicate with animals intuitively? You don’t need formal training in animal communication to receive intuitive impressions from animals. It’s the same skill you use to tune into people. Openness, intention, and a willingness to trust what you receive are the starting point. Does working in a group really improve intuition? Yes, group energy amplifies what each person can access individually. Many people find they receive more accurate intuitive information in a small group setting than when working alone. It’s one of the fastest ways to build both skill and confidence. The post Here’s How the Horse Reassured Me It Was Really Speaking appeared first on Intuitive Edge.
