How to Tune Into Your Intuition

by Anja Mertl

If you are like me, it’s easy to drown in logic, facts, and data and yet, the quietest voice inside you often knows the way. That voice is your intuition, and according to Dr. Joe Dispenza, it’s not some mystical, faraway gift. It’s a skill you can cultivate, strengthen, and live by.

Step 1: Shift From Thinking to Feeling

Most of us live in our heads—constantly analyzing, comparing, and predicting. But intuition operates in the language of feelings, sensations, and subtle impressions.

How to do it:

  • Sit quietly for a few minutes each day, close your eyes, and bring your attention from your head down into your heart.

  • Breathe slowly, in and out, and notice the space around your chest.

  • Ask yourself a simple question and see what feeling comes up before the mind rushes in with words.

Dr. Dispenza often emphasizes creating a heart–brain coherence, where your emotions and thoughts align. This state not only feels good—it’s scientifically proven to open you up to intuitive guidance.

Step 2: Change Your State of Being

When you’re stressed, tired, or reactive, your intuition can’t get through the noise. Your brain is in survival mode, scanning for threats—not solutions. Dr. Dispenza teaches that you must change your internal state before seeking intuitive answers.

How to do it:

  • Use meditation to move from beta brainwaves (alert, analytical) into alpha or theta brainwaves (relaxed, open, and creative).

  • Visualize a scene that makes you feel gratitude, love, or joy. These elevated emotions open the door to deeper awareness.

Step 3: Get Comfortable in the Unknown

Intuition thrives when you release control. This is often the hardest part, because the human mind wants certainty. Dr. Dispenza reminds us that the unknown is actually a space of creation—where all possibilities exist.

How to do it:

  • When you don’t know the answer, instead of forcing it, let it come.

  • Ask for guidance (whether you frame that as your higher self, the quantum field, or your subconscious mind), and then step away.

  • Notice what signs, synchronicities, or “random” ideas show up in the hours or days afterward.

Step 4: Listen Without Judgment

The first whisper of intuition is often quiet—and the rational mind loves to second-guess it. Dr. Dispenza’s students learn to trust the first impression that comes when in a coherent, elevated state.

How to do it:

  • Keep a small notebook for intuitive hits. Write them down immediately before overthinking sets in.

  • Later, review and see how often your intuition was right. This builds trust in your inner guidance system.

Step 5: Practice Daily Meditation

Dr. Dispenza’s signature meditations are designed to take you out of your habitual patterns and into the field of possibility. Consistency is key—intuition sharpens through regular practice, just like a muscle.

How to do it:

  • Dedicate 15–45 minutes daily to meditation.

  • Focus on connecting to elevated emotions and visualizing your desired future as if it’s already happening.

  • Pay attention to the ideas, feelings, and “downloads” that arise afterward.

Why Tuning Into Intuition Changes Everything

When you follow your intuition, life often feels more aligned, meaningful, and even magical. You start making decisions that feel right, even if they don’t make sense on paper. You notice opportunities, connections, and solutions that others overlook.

Dr. Dispenza says it best: “When you trust in the unknown, you’re no longer living in the past, you’re creating a new future.”

Your Turn:
Tonight, take five minutes before bed to connect to your heart, quiet your mind, and ask one question you’ve been seeking an answer to. Don’t strain, just listen. The answer might come as a dream, a sudden idea tomorrow, or a sense of knowing that washes over you when you least expect it.

Over time, your intuition will become your most trusted advisor and, as Dr. Joe Dispenza teaches, the key to creating the life you truly desire.
