The Role of Intuition in Setting Intentions for a Fulfilling Spiritual Journey

There’s a moment—often quiet, often unnoticed—when something inside us whispers, “There’s more.” It’s subtle, like the pause between breaths. You might feel it as you sit alone in your car before stepping into another day that doesn’t quite feel like yours. Maybe it comes in the early hours, in the stillness after a restless night when the world is hushed but your thoughts are loud. Or perhaps it drifts in on a walk, carried by a breeze that stirs something long dormant in your chest. That whisper—so easy to overlook or dismiss—is not your imagination. It’s your intuition, rising up from the places you’ve learned to quiet.

For so many of us, that internal nudge gets buried. Life piles on: expectations, survival-mode responsibilities, obligations you never really agreed to but somehow inherited. You become who you’re expected to be, not who you are. And yet, even under all that noise and pressure, your intuition doesn’t vanish—it waits. Patiently. Until one day, it speaks loudly enough for you to notice. And if you’ve found yourself here, reading this, wondering why you keep circling back to this idea of setting intentions—it’s not an accident. Your intuition is knocking, asking to be let back in.

You’re not just craving change. You’re craving alignment. You’re not looking for another productivity hack or some motivational fluff. You want something that feels sacred. Soulful. True. You want to stop performing and start living. And that’s what real intention is: not a declaration of goals, but a homecoming to who you already are underneath it all. It’s not something you force. It’s something you remember.

I’ve spent years helping people return to that place within themselves—not with rules or formulas, but with trust. I’ve seen people who once doubted every instinct learn to lean into their inner knowing. I’ve watched their shoulders drop, their hearts open, and their lives shift in ways they never expected. Not because they forced change, but because they finally listened. The kind of listening that leads to setting intentions that mean something. Not surface-level hopes scribbled into a notebook. But soul-deep commitments whispered to the Universe. Intentions born not from what you think you should want, but from the truth of who you are becoming.

So if you’ve felt lost lately, or stretched thin, or like you’re living someone else’s version of your life—this is not just a coincidence. It’s a call. It’s your intuition tugging at your sleeve, saying, “Come back. We’ve got more to do.” This is your invitation to turn inward, to trust what stirs inside you, and to rediscover the power of setting intentions that aren’t just hopeful—they’re holy.

Listening to the Voice Beneath the Noise

Before you can set an intention, you have to remember who you are beneath the noise. That means slowing down—not just in your schedule, but in your thoughts, in your nervous system, in your way of being. It means becoming quiet enough to notice what’s stirring beneath the surface. The truth is, your inner voice hasn’t stopped speaking. You’ve just been asked to listen in a different way.

When I first started walking this path, I thought the answers were somewhere out there. I read every book I could find, signed up for courses, devoured other people’s insights like they were nourishment. And in some ways, they were. But I wasn’t listening to the one voice that actually knew my way forward—my own. The turning point didn’t come in a workshop or a teaching. It came one rainy afternoon after a long, cathartic cry. I didn’t have the strength to keep looking outside myself, so I simply sat there, in silence. And in that stillness, something opened.

It wasn’t a voice, exactly. It was more like a clarity. A full-body knowing. Not a concept or a plan, but a deep, grounded sense of “this is what’s real.” That moment showed me something I’ve now seen in so many of the people I’ve guided: the soul speaks quietly but surely when we finally give it room.

You’ve felt it too, haven’t you? The flutter in your chest when you imagine a different life. The tired ache in your gut when you’re stuck in a space that drains you. The unshakable sense that something is calling you, even if you don’t yet have words for it. That is your intuition—not a fantasy, not wishful thinking, but the compass of your soul.

You don’t need to justify it. You don’t need anyone to validate it. It already lives inside you.

When we talk about setting intentions, it’s not about crafting a list of ambitions or scripting the perfect vision. It starts much deeper. It starts with space. Stillness. A pause long enough for the real you to rise. And that’s the step most people skip.

Here’s something you can try right now: close your eyes, place your hand over your heart, and take a few slow breaths. Then ask gently, “What truth have I been avoiding?” You might be surprised by how quickly something rises—not because it’s new, but because it’s been waiting for your attention. That truth is the seed of your next intention.

Over the years, I’ve had the honor of helping many people return to that voice—to learn the language of their own inner guidance and rebuild trust in themselves. And every time, something shifts. Sometimes it’s subtle. Other times, it’s life-changing. But it always starts with one sacred act: listening. In fact, many of my intuitive and spiritual readings begin here—not with predictions, but with presence, with reconnecting to the deep intuitive rhythm that’s been with you all along.

Why Intuition Is the Foundation of Real Intention

Let’s get one thing straight: intention isn’t a goal. It’s not a box to tick or a shiny milestone to post on social media. It’s something far more sacred—it’s a declaration. A quiet but powerful promise that your actions will begin to honor your soul. And your intuition? That’s the compass pointing you toward that alignment.

The reason so many people feel unfulfilled, even when they appear to be doing all the “right” things, is because their intentions are borrowed. Conditioned. Shaped by what they think they should want—more money, a romantic partner, a better job title. And sure, there’s nothing wrong with any of those. But when a desire doesn’t resonate with the frequency of your truth, it either never materializes… or worse, it does—and leaves you emptier than before.

Intuition bypasses the noise. It doesn’t operate from ego, fear, or urgency. It whispers, “This is yours.” And even if your mind argues, your body will know. That’s the gift of real intention: it’s not forced. It’s felt.

When your intention is in alignment, it anchors you. It brings a sense of calm, even amidst uncertainty. Your breath deepens. Your jaw softens. Your nervous system stops bracing. The outcome might be unknown, but your direction is unmistakable. You don’t have to see the whole road. You just have to trust the next step—and your intuition will show it to you.

It’s like walking through a forest at dusk. The full path isn’t visible, but something inside you keeps saying, go this way.You follow the light between the trees. That’s what it means to walk with intention from the soul. Not to force or fabricate, but to feel and follow.

One of the most powerful things I do in my spiritual guidance and intention-based readings is help people identify that feeling—what it’s like when something inside clicks, and you realize, this is my true path. That kind of clarity doesn’t come from a plan. It comes from presence. And that’s exactly what your intuition helps you access.

When you start listening deeply enough to move from alignment instead of expectation, your life stops feeling like a performance and starts becoming an expression.

Rituals That Activate Intuitive Intention-Setting

Intuition and intention work best when grounded into ritual. Here’s a process I’ve guided many clients through—especially when they’re at a crossroads and need clarity.

1. Clear the Space
Light a candle. Put on soft music. Clean your space if needed. Create a moment that feels sacred—not because of the objects, but because of your presence.

2. Tune Into the Body
Your body is your intuition’s first language. Sit in stillness and ask: “What feels alive in me right now?” Don’t force it. Let the feelings rise.

3. Write Without Editing
Let the pen move. Ask your inner self what it truly wants—not what your ego wants, not what your parents want, not what the world expects. Write what you want, even if it scares you.

4. Feel Into the Intention
Once the words are down, close your eyes. Picture that intention coming to life. Not just the outer result, but the inner shift. Do you feel lit up? Peaceful? Grounded? Or does something feel off?

5. Surrender the Outcome
This is key. You’re not setting goals—you’re aligning energy. Let the universe organize the details. Your job is to walk in truth.

This kind of ritual reconnects you to your internal compass. Every client who’s gone through it with me leaves not just with insight, but with a sense of calm power—like they’ve remembered something ancient and essential.

Fear, Doubt, and the Noise That Blocks You

Here’s the uncomfortable truth: your intuition is always speaking. You’ve just learned to ignore it.

Fear is the number one thing that drowns out intuitive clarity. It comes dressed as logic, self-doubt, imposter syndrome, or overthinking. It says things like:

• “That’s not practical.”
• “Who do you think you are?”
• “You’ll fail.”
• “It’s too late.”

I’ve seen it a thousand times in readings. Someone sits across from me and says they don’t know what they want. But within minutes of us connecting, they burst into tears—not because I told them something new, but because I confirmed what they already knew and were too scared to claim.

Intuition doesn’t shout. It waits. But the moment you meet it with honesty and courage, it floods you with clarity. You don’t need to be fearless. You just need to be willing.

Intention Is an Ongoing Conversation

One of the biggest misconceptions I see when working with clients is the idea that intention-setting is a one-time ritual—something you do at the start of the year, on a full moon, or during a moment of crisis, and then forget about. But the truth is, real spiritual intention is not a fixed destination. It’s a living, breathing relationship with your soul. It’s less about making declarations and more about staying in dialogue with what’s unfolding inside you.

Think of intention not as a single message you send out to the universe, but as a continuous conversation—a call and response between your inner world and the sacred current of life. You might begin with the intention, “I want to find my purpose.” And that’s beautiful. But as you begin to follow intuitive nudges, take small aligned actions, and observe what resonates, that intention might naturally evolve. A few weeks later, you could find yourself saying, “Actually, I want to trust my voice.” Then, months later, it becomes, “I want to help others through my story.” That’s not indecision. That’s growth. That’s your spiritual path revealing itself in layers.

This unfolding is part of the work I guide people through in my energy readings, especially when they’re seeking clarity around their life direction. What begins as confusion often gives way to a deeper self-awareness that transforms not just what you want, but why you want it. When you’re in ongoing conversation with your soul, your intentions don’t need to be perfect—they just need to be honest.

That’s why it’s essential to check in regularly with your intentions. Sit with them the way you’d sit with a dear friend. Ask them, “Are you still true? Do you still reflect who I am now?” Sometimes, an intention you set last month no longer fits, not because it was wrong, but because you’ve shifted. You’ve healed. You’ve deepened. And your intuition—faithful and patient—will always tell you when it’s time to let an old intention go or revise it into something more alive.

Let your intentions evolve alongside you. Let them surprise you. Let them become more tender, more authentic, more resonant as you continue to listen. You don’t have to know the end. You just have to stay in the conversation.

Signs, Symbols, and the Universe’s Feedback Loop

Once you begin setting intentions from a place of intuitive clarity, something profound begins to happen: the universe starts to respond in ways that feel too precise to ignore. You’ll notice it in small ways at first—a certain number following you everywhere, a sentence in a book that echoes your inner thoughts, a song lyric that lands in your chest like a message. These are not random. These are responses. When we set intentions that are aligned with the soul, the universe listens—and it speaks back in a language we often forget we know: signs and symbols.

Clients often reach out to me saying things like, “Ever since my reading, I’ve been seeing 11:11 every day,” or “That thing you mentioned about the butterfly showed up in real life the next day.” It’s not magic in the fairytale sense. It’s energetic alignment. When you’re tuned into your intuition, your awareness sharpens, your field opens, and you become more sensitive to the subtle nudges around you. The world begins to shimmer with a sense of meaning.

But these signs are not just feel-good moments to screenshot and share. They’re part of a sacred feedback loop. They affirm that you’re on the right path—or help you course-correct if you’re veering off. The more you trust them, the more they seem to multiply. It becomes a co-creative dance between your soul and the energies supporting you. Sometimes, the signs will urge you to take a leap. Other times, they’ll gently guide you to rest or wait. The key is to respond, not with over-analysis, but with quiet trust.

When I guide people through my psychic energy and intention-based readings, we often end with suggestions on how to recognize and interpret the signs that may arise. Because once you open that channel, you won’t just be moving through life—you’ll be in conversation with it. You’ll feel guided, supported, and strangely synchronized with moments that feel larger than coincidence.

Remember: your intuition will always know how to translate the messages. Even if your mind doubts, your body and spirit will feel the yes. You don’t have to chase signs. You simply have to be open to seeing them. Keep listening. Keep trusting. The universe is already whispering back.

Real Life. Real Shifts.

One woman I worked with came to me seeking clarity about her love life. She was at a crossroads, the kind many of us know too well—torn between staying in a relationship that felt familiar, yet heavy, and stepping into the unknown. On the surface, her questions were about logistics: Was this relationship still serving her? Would she regret leaving? Was she overthinking things? Her mind was a constant swirl of pros and cons, weighing every interaction like it could tip the scales. But underneath all of that, her body had already cast its vote. She hadn’t been sleeping. Her energy was depleted. Her chest felt tight every time she imagined her future staying the same.

What unfolded during our time together wasn’t a direct answer. It wasn’t a prediction or even advice. It was a return to her inner voice. Once we tuned into her intuition—past the fear, past the mental chatter—she said it so softly I almost missed it: “I already know.” In that moment, we both felt the truth of it. Her real intention wasn’t to figure out whether to stay or go. Her real intention was to stop betraying herself for the comfort of others. To stop silencing the part of her that had been quietly screaming for change.

And when she claimed that? When she named the deeper intention—not to escape, but to honor herself—everything around her began to shift. Within a few weeks, her health started to return. Her sleep deepened. Her dreams softened. She found a place of her own and started creating new routines that felt like exhaling after years of holding her breath. By the third month, she wasn’t just out of the relationship—she was fully in a new chapter. Not just physically, but energetically. Spiritually. You could hear it in her voice. You could see it in the way she carried herself. The heaviness was gone. What remained was clarity, peace, and a quiet power she’d forgotten she had.

That is what happens when intentions are rooted in intuition. They don’t just live on paper. They move through your cells, your circumstances, your sense of self. This isn’t about manifesting from your mind. It’s about aligning with your soul. When you do that, the external world can’t help but follow.

A Final Word from My Heart

If you’ve made it this far, there’s a reason. You’re ready. Ready to come home to your intuition. Ready to set intentions that nourish your soul, not just your ego. Ready to stop living by accident and start walking with purpose.

You don’t need to be perfect. You don’t need a five-year plan. You just need to listen.

So here’s your invitation: Tonight, take five minutes. No phone. No noise. Just you, a pen, and your breath. Ask, “What does my soul want to experience next?” Write it down. Feel it. Honor it.

You are far more powerful—and far more guided—than you’ve been led to believe.

What has your intuition been trying to tell you lately?
Let me know. I’d love to hear.
