Top Ten Ways to Jumpstart Your Intuition by Julia Wagner

Jumpstart Your Intuition

presentation notes and additional links

How I got Started:

This is my 10 year anniversary practicing Nichiren Buddhism; I’ve just celebrated my ten year Gohonzon birthday.

Immediately after I started chanting the mantra Nam Myoho Renge Kyo, I heard two different voices-one more masculine and negative. One more feminine and positive.

The ego to the left said, “I’ll be mad all day” as if he was scheduling my time. The voice to the right softly said, “But you don’t have to”. I might call THAT part the Higher Self, or Subconscious Mind.

I’ve received other messages from this kind voice over the years, like “if you want to save your teeth, use coconut oil” which allowed me to heal a cavity.

My first QHHT session I also heard these two different parts of the psyche, the conscious mind and the unconscious mind. HE- the left brain- wanted to use the word “I”. SHE was happy speaking about Julia in the third person, and felt more like she was on the right side.

For what can we use the Intuition?

Well, anything, and everything we want to!

Here are some common areas people explore:

+Health
+Relationships
+Careers
+Decisions
+Purpose
+Channeling information for others

What else can you use the intuition for?

The common theme? We want insights-a better understanding- on how to achieve our goals with more ease. Simply put, we want to understand something better, in order to DO something better. As a hypnotist, whether I’m working with an athlete who wants to increase their stamina, or a client facing their fear of a medical procedure, engaging the subconscious mind allows a new perspective on reaching their goals. Learning is not only a conscious activity. Learning is an intuitive state. As such, when you engage your intuition, you access these states of awareness, which makes learning easy. Some might even say, using the intuition turns learning into “just knowing”.

We use intuition or the subconscious mind to see connections the conscious mind overlooks.

How do we recognize signs?

+Goosebumps
+Emotions/Tears
+Tingling or Burning Third Eye
+Synchronicities
+Repetition
+Ears Ringing

Recently my client felt blocked, and how she described it as “I used to find four leaf clovers everywhere, but for the last two years I can’t seem to find any”. We did a short Mind Mapping session via text. Not only did she start finding clovers. She found (at this point) a HUNDRED. She’s STILL sending me pictures 2 months later. These pictures are from just what she found TODAY 7/15/26). Wowzers.
She’s unblocked, she says. Read more about this session here:
I didn’t plan this- it happened five times anyway!

Before We Start-

0. Set an Intention.

Go ahead and start thinking about something you’d like to receive insight into: Health, purpose, relationships, abundance. We’ll do a quick demo later. (watch the replay)

Setting intentions can help you receive- and INTERPRET- the signs you receive, so the more thought you put into it, and the more specific your intention is, the better.

Here are the Top Ten Ways to Jumpstart- and Trust- Your Intuition.

Bashar might call any of these “Permission Slips”

1. Meditation, Chanting, Mantra Work
   
   My favorite form of triggering that inner voice is by chanting. I love the mantra Nam Myoho Renge Kyo, but there are many mantras both personal and universal that can be used.

2. Imagination
   
   One of my hypnosis teachers, Mike Mandell says, “Just Pretend! Then pretend you aren’t pretending” . Another hypnosis instructor Antonio Sangio says, “Even if it feels like you are making it up, tell me,” to encourage his clients.
   
   Imagination leads to Intuition. Play opens up potential.
   It doesn’t matter if it’s “real” if it’s helpful, and anything we generate with our minds can be used as a reflective tool. People would tell Dolores Cannon after a QHHT session, “I must have been making that up!”. She’d say, “Now why would you make THAT up?”
   
   Again, Anything our minds perceive, generate, or interpret-can be used as a reflective tool. Guess what? That’s just about EVERYTHING. Once you realize that there aren’t limit to HOW you might connect with the intuition, it makes it that much easier to receive, use, and to trust your interpretations, since they are YOURS.

3. Bypass the Critical Mind with Speed– don’t over think it! Quantum Connect is a great modality for this, and I’ll give a brief demonstration later. QC is created by Candace Craw Goldman -who ALSO created Beyond Quantum Healing, was a colleague of Dolores Cannon’s, and who gave me this cup!
   
   SPEAK and the information forms as your words do- not necessarily the other way around! So trust yourself to just start talking if you’re participating in a guided meditation, past life regression, quantum healing session or if you are channeling information.

4. Think in Terms of Options. Minimal Pairs are Great!
   Is it more like THIS or more like THIS?
   
   If you’re looking for information, it can be helpful to have a place to start or a framework to help navigate your feelings.
   
   If I’m leading a past life session I might ask my client to quickly tell me, without thinking about it, if they feel more like a male, or more like a female in this life we are viewing? I might ask if something seems near to them, or far away, if it is daylight, or seems like night. Not only does this allow for speed, but it gives the mind a place to start without needing to over analyze.
   
   If you are looking for an object, you might ask yourself, is it out in the open in plain sight, or is it obscured/covered up?
   
   If you are looking into starseed lineage you might start with size- is the form that wants to be show larger than a human, or smaller? Even though I offer these in minimal pairs, don’t let that make you feel limited as you answer.
5. Release Expectations.
   Accept whatever happens when you ask or explore.
   Nothing needs to be any certain way (Dolores Cannon)
   Messages come in many different states.
   Many people dismiss signs from the intuition because they seem to “normal”. I witness this in hynosis sesions. I might see my client go into REM states during trance. That tells me you are hypnotized. Those same clients my say, “I wasn’t very deep” or “I was here the whole time”. Because they EXPECT to feel a different way, they dismiss what they DO feel during a session as “not hypnosis”. It doesn’t matter if you’re deeply focused and relaxed, are awake and alert, if you set an intention to receive a message, chances are you can.
   
   The same with intuition.
   Messages come in many forms. I was working with a man who’d lost his wife. He wanted messages from her so badly. I could hear her. She was telling ME that the ringtone which kept interrupting the session, making the client mad? THAT WAS HER. I told him the song is important. He confirmed this saying, “That was our song”. It was “I’m gonna love you forever and ever”. Amen. But he’d pushed it aside as too “normal”.
   
   Other times messages might get ignored because they are too strange, or don’t immediately make sense. One of the best pieces of advice comes from another QHHT facilitator, Natasha Bey El. She encourages clients by saying something like, “I want you to connect you energy with that tree. And it’s okay if you’ve never done that before, just do it. You KNOW how to do this. And that tree has a message for you, it’s going to talk, and you’re going to tell me what that tree says, okay? And I don’t care if that tree says, “Booga Booga Booga” you just tell me”. I’m paraphrasing, but I love this message. You can’t get it wrong.

6. Art – Spontaneous, Unjudged Creativity.
   Creativity and intuition go together, and you all probably already know that. Here’s a fun way to use art to bypass the critical part of the brain. Again, this involves speed. It’s called Ten Second drawing. It’s just like it sounds. You set an intention- to draw an object, a feeling, an action- and set the timer for ten seconds (or any time you’d like). It’s neat to see what people create in such a short time, and how these icons really capture the essence of the intention. You’ll notice after you’ve done this, you’ll be in a more receptive state almost immediately.
   
   The other exercise just takes paper and some thick paint. You’ll sign your name on the paper, then fold the paper in half. The image might look quite different than you would imagine! There are ways to do this digitally, too, so don’t limit yourself to physical media. Again- as we shift perspectives and release judgement about “what a name is supposed to look like”- that allows us to see things in a new light.
   
   What other types of art are spontaneous and are not meant to be judged? Cyou think of other techniques that work in the same way?
7. Tools and Systems for Reflection and Divination
   We could list just about anything in this section, but here are the most common divination tools and practices I can think of.
   
   Dreams interpretation, tarot and oracle cards, scrying by looking into and object like a crystal ball or black mirror. Astrology. Human Design. Numerology or Angel Numbers. Synchronicities. Using tea leaves, clouds, or inkblot tests to see images. Using the question, “Now what does this remind me of?”
   
   Past Lives/Other perspectives can be used to peek into questions or achieve goals.
   I use games like Word Search and Predictive Text Games, and even AI for light hearted messages. Of course, these might not be as in depth as other tools but you might be surprised how on point these can be as well!
   
   I had my own experience using tarot in a past life as a circus psychic.
   “The cards tell you what to say”– Since I had a tool, that let me build confidence while I honed my own skills as a reader. And that’s actually my gift for viewers, a 30 minute meeting including a card pull, so stick around for more details about that.

8. Anchors and Key Words
   When you experience a particularly positive mental or emotional state you can connect that state to a word, phrase, sound or symbol. Then you can use that sound or visual cue to activate that resourceful mental state on command. As a facilitator, I’ll ask your subconscious mind to find this anchor, to describe it, and to repeat it. It’s particularly interesting what “key words” people use! One client’s was “Miley Cyrus”. The Soul has a sense of humor. Often these words themselves offer clues.
9. Writing= It’s Magic!
   Whether we’re talking about putting pen to paper, journaling online, automatic writing, drafting a whole novel or jotting down a haiku, writing comes up over and over and over in sessions. Want an exercise? Choose a subject. Write a 5 word poem in 20 seconds. Harnessing Higher Powers Isn’t Hard.
10. Speaking in Third Person.
    So other than chanting, this is probably my favorite.
    Speaking in the third person does something profound to the brain. It allows us to switch perspectives. Instead of the ego, who wants to say, “I, I, I,” we ask for a less immediately attached viewpoint. This allows for the Higher Self or Subconscious Mind to come through much more fluidly.

Those are my TOP TEN tools, tips, and trick for Jump Starting your Intuition.

Prompt: What other tools, or mixture of tools do you know?

11. Confusion One trick that is often used to bypass the critical mind is confusion. We might overwhelm, distract, or even shock the left brain out of conventional thinking. Even with progressive relaxation techniques, we’re essentially distracting the critical mind while allowing the right brain to move relaxation from one body part into another. Since we can’t focus on more than about 5-7 things at once, the critical mind gives up, and takes the command to “relax” seriously. It doesn’t have the capacity to reject the command. It makes me look at politicians a bit differently when they fail to make sense. But this power can be used for good, not just evil. For example, I might ask a non sensical question during a session, and get a brilliant answer I’d never imagine! When I was in customer service, I used this technique to break callers out of repetitive or catastrophic thinking patterns.

With a Guide– Sometimes having a friend helps. If you’re moving heavy furniture, you might need a second set of hands. It’s the same with intuition.

Beyond Quantum Healing sessions offer some of the best opportunities to awaken your gifts, health and other valuable perspectives. Why? Because there aren’t strict rules or limits with BQH- just heart centered suggestions. If you need expanded awareness and lots of time to enjoy it? You’ll get it. If you need conversation with alert and aware engagement during your session? You’ll get THAT. BQH holds space for your Soul’s needs, and with an experienced guide (me!) you’re potential is multiplied.

Quantum Connect, NLP Timeline Technique, My own modality DreamWeaving 101, and DreamWeaving 101 Between the Lines are other ways to connect.
