Why Your Intuition Speaks Before Your Mind — And Why We Ignore It

Your intuition often speaks before your mind — but many people have been conditioned not to trust it.In this episode of Connecting to Spirit, I explore the powerful relationship between intuition and personal responsibility, and why learning to trust your inner guidance can transform your life.I begin by sharing one of the first lessons I learned during my early Reiki training — a simple but profound teaching about emotional responsibility and the stories we choose to hold onto.From there, we explore what intuition actually is. Not something mystical or vague, but a powerful biological early-warning system designed to guide and protect us.I also share a deeply personal story about my daughter that became a defining moment in my own journey of learning to trust intuition fully and follow it with courage.If you’ve ever second-guessed your inner knowing, felt the tension between intuition and logic, or wondered how to develop stronger intuitive awareness, this episode will help you reconnect with the guidance that already lives within you.In this episode you'll discover• The Reiki teaching that changed how I take responsibility for my emotions• Why intuition often arrives before logic• How your nervous system processes intuitive signals instantly• Why we override our inner knowing• How Intuitive Reiki can help develop intuition and spiritual awarenessLearning to listen to your intuition may be one of the most important skills you ever develop — because the guidance you’re searching for has always been within you.Support the showHosted by Lisa Brandis — bestselling author, founder of Intuitive Reiki International®, Reiki Master Teacher, intuitive channelling expert, and spiritual medium.Connecting to Spirit is for spiritually aware women ready to strengthen their intuition, trust their gifts, and step into grounded spiritual leadership.
