Intuition is the ability to notice non-physical information that we humans are naturally created to receive. In fact, we are naturally wired to be intuitive. We cannot stop being intuitive, but we can become excellent at ignoring it! People, in general, have become so good at blocking intuition that they are instantly terrified when an intuitive wisdom does happen to get past all the barriers and pop into their consciousness.
Reiki and intuition are not separate from each other. Reiki is the loving, healing life force of the Universe we dwell in. Intuition is simply information within and from the life force of the Universe. Intuition is the ability to understand something immediately without the need for conscious reasoning. The Cambridge Dictionary states intuition is the ability to understand or know something without needing to think about it or use reason to discover it. It is that simple. We humans walk, run, drive, sit, sleep, breathe, and eat in a colossal, limitless, and organized structure of energy and information. This is the profound nature of the Universe and the profound nature of we humans dwelling in that Universe.
Personal Story: Lori Irvin, Medical Intuitive
Since I was little, I knew I was powerful, I just didn’t know how. This mysterious feeling, this knowing, seemed really scary to me as a little girl. So for protection, I did not allow my gifts until one day, I finally followed my intuition and put this powerful gift into practice.
It happened when I was taking a beginning intuition class, and the lesson of the day was to learn how to receive confirmation from Spirit. A fellow student, Sally, arrived and said she was in pain from a recent abdominal surgery but did not want to miss class. Trying to ease her pain, she sat cross-legged on the floor. My intuition told me to go over to her. I was curious and bewildered, responding internally, “What can I do? I don’t want to bother her.” But the feeling that I needed to help her was so palpable and demanding, it propelled me to move! I got up and went over to her. My intuition guided me to stand behind her and float my hand above her lower back and feel for energy. I didn’t even know what I was searching for, but I found a warm sensation emanating from her left side just above her hip bone. As the warmth progressed to heat, I instinctively started “pulling” that energy away from Sally’s body. It was like I was in my own world, just a world of Sally, this energy, and me following my intuition.

I lost the awareness of time, and the hum of the class seemed like it was in another dimension (or was I?). Sally said she felt better and did not want me to miss out on the lesson, so she quietly got up and went to another part of the room and laid down on her back. Again, my intuition told me to follow her since she continued to display signs of pain. I sat on a chair next to her and began feeling for energy in her abdominal area. I felt that same kind of heat energy. It was beginning to feel familiar, but this time I had to search harder for it as it was elusive at times.
Finally, I located it, and my intuition or Spirit told me to begin swirling my flat palm above her abdominal area and pulling up. As I pulled up the heat with the palm of my hand, I began to rise from a seated to a standing position, all the while consistently feeling the intense heat. At that moment, another classmate told me she could see the energy I was pulling out. She described it as an off-green, cone-shaped spiral whirling up from Sally’s body with the point directed into my hand. As I continued this process and pulled the energy all the way up with me on my tip-toes with my arm at its highest elevation, I intuitively knew to release this pain energy into the ground. This release of the energy, which I have discovered in my continued studies, is the act of discarding that energy into Mother Earth for her to transmute into love.
When I asked Sally what she experienced, she said, “It is a difficult feeling to explain, but it suddenly felt as if the pain was being pulled right out of my body. I could feel it moving out and away from me toward the sky. And the pain was gone! Then I opened my eyes to see you standing directly above me, rising onto your tiptoes and slowly raising your hand over your head, using the same pulling motion that I had intuitively been feeling with my body.” At that moment, we both knew without speaking what had happened, and I began to cry. Obviously, this was an incredibly profound experience for both of us.
I continue to take classes to learn and grow. When I took the Holy-Fire Reiki Master Teacher Classes, I just kept saying, “I already do this, I already know this. How can this be?” My Reiki teacher told me I already knew this process because I was given the ability to use it before I learned it in this lifetime. Spirit works in miraculous ways!
Since then, I have been using several techniques including Reiki and this innate pullingextraction technique to help people heal physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It is such a beautiful gift and I continue to deepen and develop this gift so I may better serve others.
When focusing on growth and development, I find it is incredibly important to learn how to be the best conduit for Spirit, as this allows our special gifts to come through. On that note, one of the most instrumental classes in my development journey was Tina Zion’s medical intuition class. It proved to be a real turning point for me as it propelled me to start my own healing practice. (Tina, my clients and I thank you!)
So, to all of you reading this book, please continue to follow your intuition. Do not be afraid. Jump off that cliff and you will find that you can fly! As you try it, intend it, and practice it, your innate gifts will come to the surface and you will truly be on your life’s path. It’s time to fly!

Becoming intuitive is simply the deliberate, conscious decision to notice. It is not magical or mystical. Intuition is the most natural mechanism of perceiving, and you are wired to do it. You are an antenna for intuitive information. Antennae do not put forth any effort at all. They just sit there and receive effortlessly. As a human you have a choice to receive it or block it out and be terrified of it.
Everyone wonders how to distinguish between thoughts from their thinking mind and intuition. How can we tell them apart? We are thinking beings, but intuition senses nonphysical knowledge that does not come from our logical thinking brain. When we have an issue to figure out or a decision to make, our thinking mind moves in every direction, trying to find the best answer. Your thinking mind might say at the exact same time, “Yes, I can do that, but no, maybe I better not.” Can you see how your thinking mind just told you two different things at the same time and even in the same sentence? Intuition is steady, calm, whispery, and will consistently give the same information over and over again about a single topic or issue. Now notice the difference. “Every time I try to decide about this issue my brain goes all over the place, but I continually keep sensing or feeling that I should do it.” Notice how the intuitive awareness does not fluctuate about a topic.
Six Keys for Your Intuitive Success
Key 1
Intuition will always feel like imagination because it is usually non-physical and processed through the right side of the brain which is the creative side. Intuition will always feel like you are making it up. Make the leap right now by understanding that intuitive information will constantly and always feel like make believe. It will always seem like you are inventing it or simply dreaming it up.
Key 2
Absolutely trust what you receive no matter what, even if you do not understand it. Simply describe what you intuitively notice. It is very important that you describe what you received in exact detail to the client.
Key 3
Do not interpret what you receive. It is the interpretation of information that gets us into trouble. If you are receiving intuitive information about yourself, then by all means interpret it. But if you are working with another person, refrain from 54 Reiki and Your Intuition – A Union of Healing and Wisdom interpreting or trying to explain the insights that you are receiving. When you try to interpret intuitive information for another, you are actually interjecting your own personal experience into theirs. Interpretations come from your thinking mind as it tries to make sense of an image, a word, a phrase, or a symbol for another person. Allow the receiver to tell you what it means to them. They will surprise you and tell you that they know exactly what it means and how it relates to their struggles.
Key 4
And now for the grandest and most hidden key of all… our expectations! If we expect something to happen in a certain way and if that something happens in a different way, we will miss the event completely. We will miss the intuitive information because we were focused on something else. We missed the true intuitive information because we were waiting on the way we thought it should be. An expectation is a strong thought that restricts all other possibilities.
Intuitive information bombards us every minute of the day and night. If you think intuition must look a certain way or behave in a certain manner, vast dimensions of vital information are escaping you. If intuition does not come in the form or path you expect, then you will completely miss all the other pathways it is coming to you. This is a crucial point for success as an intuitive Reiki practitioner! The most important thing I can say here is to expect the most unexpected.
Key 5
Intuitive information also shows itself to us in physical form. Intuition consists of non-physical wave lengths of data that comes to us from all directions. For example, I was once sitting in my car at a busy intersection contemplating an issue in my life. I closed my eyes for a few seconds and asked Spirit for direct guidance that I would not be able to miss. Just as I opened my eyes, a large truck flew through the intersection with one word painted in giant letters across the truck. It was exactly what I was hoping for and it was the answer to my dilemma!
Key 6
Everything in the world around us has meaning. Intuitive information is absolutely everywhere. We simply must allow ourselves to notice. People will use the term synchronicity when two unrelated events happen that make a great deal of sense to us but at the same time we know that they should not have coincided as they did.
A coincidence is another term used to describe unexpected occurrences happening. Notice those moments now as meaningful, and notice the wonderment and wisdom of the world you live in. Incorporate intuition into your daily life and be playful with it.
Remember: We cannot stop being intuitive, but we can become excellent at ignoring it!
