10 Ways to Strengthen Your Intuition and Your Child’s Intuition at The Same Time
Encourage your children to share their dreams with you in the morning. As soon as possible after waking up, ask them what they dreamed about, listen carefully, and write or type it. After they tell you about their dream, tell them what you dreamed about (if you remember and it's age appropriate). Recalling our dreams helps us tune into the dream state which is the same state from which our intuition often arises.
After you go somewhere new or meet someone new, share impressions about the place or person. How did the place or person make them feel? What did they notice? Share what you noticed. This teaches you and your child to tune into subtle impressions and share them.
Before you go somewhere new, ask them what they think it will be like. Ask them what they might experience, how things might look, sound, or smell. Share your thoughts. Later compare how close your predictions were. The more we practice this, the more accurate we get.
Read and listen to audio books instead of TV and video games. Reading and listening makes us use our visualization skills which are linked to intuition and clairvoyance.
Encourage imagination, play, drawing, painting, sculpting, making music - any and all creative expression enhances our ability to connect with the unseen and tune into our spirit.
Listen and validate your child’s opinions and feelings. You don't have to agree with them, but letting them know that their feelings and opinions matter to you and you want to hear about them, helps kids feel comfortable getting in touch with and expressing their feelings. Sharing your feelings and opinions helps you get in touch with your internal world, and modeling this for your kid helps them see this as a safe and normal thing to do
Spend time together “doing nothing.” You might try looking out the window, watching clouds, watching animals, sitting by a stream or a beach. Just sitting together in silence helps calm the nervous system and gets us away from mental chatter that drowns out our intuition.
Notice your senses: sights, smells, impressions, feelings, tactile sensations. If you are sitting somewhere together, maybe waiting in a doctor's office or airport, ask them to describe everything they are aware of through all their senses. This is the opposite of focusing. Notice everything instead.
Get “magic eye” posters and books. These help us learn how to relax our gaze and enhance our ability to see beyond what is obvious.
Observe animals, people in movies, people out the window as you’re driving, people or animals anywhere and make inferences about what they might be feeling, doing, hoping, wishing, wanting. These inferences don’t have to be based in reality. It can be silly, “I think she’s waiting for a space ship,” for example but this game gets you noticing and tuning into subtleties.
