The Real Block is Not Intuitive Capability, It is the Nervous System

As I’m sitting here working on a re-write of my guided journal, Soma Soul: Body Based-Intuitive Development, I found myself needing to make an important life decision. So I thought, alright, I’m going to use the exact process I teach to others.

I brought my awareness into my body and started looking for my yes, my no, or my maybe, to determine alignment. I checked in a couple of times, waiting for the sensation I usually associate with either - and on the third try, it hit me. My yes had changed. What I realized is that I now receive audible yeses through clairaudience. I literally hear “yes” or “no” internally, through my inner hearing.

It’s clear, simple and direct.

This was something I had just been talking about with Jennifer Liss, an incredibly talented Life Coach who works with folks to unleash their brilliance on the world. I mean, what a fantastic fucking mission statement is that, huh?

Anyway, sometimes our yes begins as a small tingle or subtle sensation, but as we deepen our relationship with intuition, the signal evolves. It moves through the body and starts communicating through different pathways that are more connected to our natural intuitive strengths. I’m deeply connected through my crown and third eye, but my sacral and root have historically required more conscious awareness and trust. It almost feels as though the body’s messaging system (our Human Design Authority & our inner wisdom) shifts and reroutes itself toward the path of least resistance.

The signal moves through the clearest channel available.

And the truth is, I’ve been receiving guidance this way for a long time. I hear it clearly with clients; I trust it easily for other people. But when it came to myself, there was still that lingering question: Am I just telling myself what I want to hear?

The answer is no.

When you intentionally settle into an alpha state and return to center, your nervous system shifts into a condition that’s more receptive, present, and aware. Your analytical mind softens its grip, your body relaxes, and you’re no longer trying to think your way to an answer. Instead, you’re creating the conditions to listen and hear.

Energetically, this is the space where we experience connection with our Higher-Self and our felt truth. Neurologically, it’s a state where the brain is less preoccupied with scanning for problems, and much more capable of sensing internal cues.

So no, you’re not making something up, you’re getting quiet enough to hear yourself.

This is helpful for intuitives who believe they are asking - yet receiving nothing. They query their guides, their higher self, their divination tools, and then conclude that the message never came.

But I honestly believe the message does come. Every time - without fail.

The real block is not intuitive ability, it is the nervous system.

The nervous system determines whether we can safely receive the truth of what we already know.

• Can you accept the answer with unconditional trust?

• Can you stay connected enough to hear something you may not want to hear?

• Can you tolerate the reality that your guidance might ask you to take the more challenging path, make a difficult decision, disappoint someone, outgrow something, or finally choose yourself?

That is where the “block” happens - not in your intuition and not in your connection.

The interference lives in your conditioning - your patterning and fear responses, your self-protection and survival wiring. Whatever language you want to use, the block is rarely your inability to receive; more often, it is your ability to trust, regulate, and act on what you already know.

It’s time to start taking a look at what life is reflecting back to us.  Our internal world creates our resonance, and our resonance shapes the reality we experience. The beliefs we hold, the emotions we embody, and the energy we carry influence the people, life patterns, synchronicities, challenges, and synchronicities that show up in our lives. Our external world becomes a mirror, continually reflecting where we are in relationship with ourselves. When we learn to read those reflections with curiosity instead of judgment, life becomes one of our greatest teachers.

Our intuition speaks in so many languages and the most empowering work we can do is to learn how to recognize the ways our own system naturally receives truth.
