Intuitive Development, Part 2A: Getting It Back After Pushing It Aside

I have known a few people who, for one reason or another, are intuitive but chose to not honor their intuitive gifts. It was a natural talent that they chose to ignore. 

There are a few reasons why I could understand someone going this route. A person might not believe in the gift, or it goes against what they believe spiritually. Many people also walk away from it out of blind fear. They're afraid of what they see, and as someone who briefly did that as a newbie astrologer and tarot reader, I totally understand. Finally, they might feel guilty about knowing, or might feel responsible for what they see, especially if it's not something positive. 

If you find yourself in this situation, it's important to understand why you walked away. 

Was it an event or a series of events that caused you to question it? How does being intuitive make you feel? It's a part of who you are but you might be struggling with the idea of being intuitive.

Were you ridiculed for it? Sometimes people who share their gifts with others aren't ready for the response. People can be nasty, even when you're trying to help. And as an intuitive, it's easy for people to write you off as "crazy" or "new age" because their logic believes that what you're doing isn't possible. 

Maybe you were wrong once or twice and thought, "Well, it's not perfect so I just don't have a gift." You may have discouraged yourself from continuing to develop.

Finally, a small group of people believes that you can't possibly know because that knowledge is forbidden to us ordinary mortals. When I hear this argument I just sort of chuckle. It's an easy way to write off the anger and fear that talking to others might bring out in themselves, though.

Everyone is different, and your reasons for walking away from your intuition will be yours and yours alone. But bringing it back starts with trying to figure out the reasons behind your original decision to leave it behind.
