When the Universe Whispers: How I Learned to Trust My Intuition (Even When It Was Faint)

The Message That Changed Everything

One of the most common themes I see as a Spiritual Teacher is a sensitive empath that struggles to hear and trust their guidance. I know, I feel you, it is the same for me and I have been working on my psychic abilities for over 26 years now. Sometimes the guidance is sooo clear, and some other times the guidance is sooo faint.

Not every message I get from the universe is as loud as the one I got one early morning in 2011: “Get up now, go to the Royal Adelaide Hospital and tell them you want to do Reiki there” — which led to many months of volunteering and paid work at the hospital.

I am not sure why, I have done all sorts of cleanses and practices to make my guidance clearer and here is the one thing that has helped me the most: when my body, mind, and soul have had enough!

“Enough of the waiting, enough of the procrastinating, enough of the self-doubt, enough of everyone even.”

I have pushed through so many things, I have been so strong for soooo long, I procrastinate and I avoid the guidance, until there is no choice… and my whole being says “NO MORE.”

I feel really lucky that I am quite sensitive, as my energy often says “NO MORE” just before the universe is about to send me a soul-crashing lesson. Example: releasing my essential oils oracle deck many months before three more people in the aromatherapy industry released theirs.

So I guess even when guidance is a little faint, I end up taking guided action… but not because I practice a ritual once, but because I have a daily practice.

Whether you’re deepening your tarot practice, studying energy healing, or just exploring the world of intuitive guidance, implementing small spiritual rituals can amplify your growth and confidence.

Here are some of my favorite, easy-to-follow practices to support your journey:

1. Full Moon Journaling: Take a quiet moment to write down what you’re ready to release — self-doubt, fear, or old beliefs that keep you playing small. Tearing up or (safely) burning the paper is a powerful sign to your subconscious that you are truly letting go. This ritual is especially supportive if you’re working through blocks.

   
   

2. Reflective Questions for Your Spiritual Practice:

   • What fears or beliefs have I outgrown on my journey?

   • Where am I resisting change, and how can I welcome growth?

   • How can I show up for my community in meaningful ways?

   • What dreams or goals am I ready to pursue with renewed strength and confidence?

     
     

3. Moon Bathing: Step outside and soak up the moon’s gentle light. As you breathe deeply, let this natural energy cleanse and recharge your mind, aura, and chakras. Moon bathing is the perfect self-care tool for anyone asking to manifest their dreams.

   
   

4. Gratitude Practice: One of the most life-changing tools you can use. List the blessings in your life, big and small. Practicing gratitude daily raises your vibration, attracts greater abundance, and sharpens your intuitive senses. You’ll notice your energy gets clearer and you feel more empowered!

   
   

5. Community Connection: Gather with friends, join an online circle, or connect with spiritual groups. Sharing intentions and experiences amplifies your progress and keeps you inspired.

   
   

6. Crystal Charging: Place your favorite crystals, tarot decks, or healing tools under the moonlight to cleanse and energize them. This adds extra power to your spiritual practice and helps you get the most out of every session.
