7 Myths About Intuition (That Just Aren’t True)

7 Myths About Intuition (That Just Aren’t True)

7 myths intuitionI wasn’t born with intuition…or so I thought. Even though I had studied physical and energetic anatomy in-depth and was LITERALLY taught how to feel and sense energy…

I didn’t think I had “intuition” and was FAR from thinking I had any psychic abilities.

In fact, I reserved those words for the real psychics, like the ones I’d save up to tell my fortune or read my cards.

(Never in a million years did I think I would be a card reading person, let alone create my own cards AND teach newbies and veterans my proven intuition-unlocking system!)

​It took a massive “spirit dope slap” to make me admit PUBLICLY that I had this ability.

But here’s the weirdest part! Spirit also insisted that I teach OTHER PEOPLE how to use their intuition too!

​​CLIFF NOTES: I didn’t think I was born with a “gift” and now I’m being told to teach people… this was such a scary insight for me at the time!

Truthfully though, once I understood that I did in fact have intuition and was already using it – it DRASTICALLY improved my life.

It helped me make more money and gave me more purpose and drive than ever before!

​Now I can honestly say that Intuition has aligned my biz in ways I never imagined it could and I’ve coached countless others to trust their intuition in my mastermind groups, courses, membership programs, and events!

​And in coaching others to develop their intuition, I’ve uncovered some pretty strong myths out there about intuition that just aren’t true.

I’m sharing these today so you can bust these myths and connect to your intuition too!

Here are the Top 7 Myths About Intuition (which one resonates most with YOU??):

intuition myth psychic gifts

MYTH 1: You have to be born with the psychic gift.

Intuition is kind of like 6-pack abs, we’re all born with the same abdominal muscles, but some of us (*waving my hand high) have to practice and work on it because we have a little “fluff” covering them!

I never thought I had the “gift” of intuition either, but after taking classes and trainings I developed my intuitive muscles and the more I practiced, the stronger my intuition became.

MYTH 2: Intuition can’t help you make money until you’ve cleared all your money blocks first.

Totally false! Making money IS one of the ways we clear those blocks. We have to use our intuition to take aligned action and create offers from a deeper place from within.

Our soul and spirit team will always guide us towards ways to heal wounds, clear blocks, and ultimately live our best lives. That always includes having wealth, joy, love, and ease!

I love teaching entrepreneurs how to tap into their intuition and clear money blocks. Check out my money block clearings on Facebook and YouTube – even on the replay you’ll feel the energy because it’s source-channeled! It’s always effective!

 

 

MYTH 3: You’re NOT psychic if you don’t see dead people.

I’m 100% NOT interested in becoming the next Theresa Caputo. I very much like going to restaurants and NOT seeing your dead uncle, thank you very much!

While I don’t call myself a medium, I do have encounters with dead people or spirit. They show up to deliver a message and then they’re out. The vibration of folks who’ve crossed over is a much lower frequency than I usually work with as well, so it’s probably much harder for them to “pop” in!

There are so many ways to connect with spirit without seeing dead people. One of my favorite ways is to connect with animals, plants, or minerals! You’d be shocked at how much love and energy they can share. Remember everything is energy.

Any animal that crosses my path, be it a red cardinal that flies around my yard, a gaggle of turkeys that I see on my morning walk, or a spirit of an animal during meditation – they all carry a significant message and meaning. Even if it’s a unicorn or another “fictional” animal, you’d be surprised how much a simple google search on their meaning will give you insight that will blow your mind! These are spirit messages without seeing dead people!

MYTH 4: I can’t tell the difference between my own voice and my intuition.

Most people can’t, at first. The easiest way to tell is that your intuition speaks softly, directly, and the messages are direct and to the point. Sometimes it literally sounds like your own voice in your head, but it’s softer.

Which is why we must get quiet to LISTEN! Prayer is asking, meditation is listening.

Our first instinct will come in softly, sweetly, and the NEXT voice that shows up is your ego – they’re more critical. Your ego will try to use logic to make sense of that “intuitive hit”. But think about this… you’ve also been taught to NOT listen to your inner knowing so why would you even trust that critical naysayer anyway?! Part of our work to understand the difference between your own voice and your intuition is to also UNlearn how to be human in this world. When we listen to inner wisdom and knowing, we can grow and transform. It makes it so we’re not easily manipulated or controlled…think about what a gift that is!

 

MYTH 5: You need to be a mind-reader to be considered intuitive

I’d rather NOT know what your inner thoughts are. I’m not open and available to read people’s thoughts no matter how much my husband wishes I could!

Intuition can be turned ON/OFF and reading people’s minds is not necessary. Spirit really won’t give you access to someone like that.

There’s such thing as ethics when it comes to spiritual work and energy anyway.

 

 

 

MYTH 6: If you “open up” then you’re not protected, grounded, or safe.

This has some truth to it. This is why I teach Intro to Intuition, Journey Into Your Akashic Records, and other classes I have on how to CORRECTLY open up your energy field. Get my FREE Mini Intuition Master Course!

There’s a lot of weird energy out there and if you don’t open up with Source energy, you’re susceptible to connecting to energies that are harmful or even dark. If you’ve encountered any of these, you know what I’m talking about.

You must be smart and use common sense when you’re opening your energy. ONLY call in white light, love, and your highest guidance who are here to serve your highest purpose with harm to none.

 

intuition religious

MYTH 7: I can’t open up my intuition if I’m religious

I’ve honestly lost count of how many strongly religious folks I’ve met over the years that are naturally quite intuitive, or have an interest in spirituality and intuition but they’re scared to use it. My podcast about how you can be both spiritual and religious covers this in-depth. LISTEN HERE!

The fact is that spirituality and intuition are not separate from God. I believe in God/Universe/Source as ONE. And YOU are also that.

We are not separate from that, we ARE also that. The deeper you study spirituality the more you will learn to honor that God within you, without all the dogma!

 

I’ve been “out” of my spiritual closet for a few years now and I can confidently say there are a lot of stories that I’ve heard about why people can’t open their intuitive abilities but these 7 come up the most.If you are ready to bust these myths for good and go further in developing your intuition, I hold a HUGE event twice a year called Intuition Week.

We go deep to clear abundance blocks, connect to your guides, and learn to receive your intuition to help not only your business but your WHOLE life too. The truth is, it doesn’t matter how many courses you buy, or coaches you hire, without strong intuition your business can get stuck, stuck, stuck! Learning to tap into your intuition at a higher level is the best gift you can give yourself to unlock abundance!

Self-Love as a Spiritual Entrepreneur –  12 Ways to “Bring It”

Self-Love as a Spiritual Entrepreneur – 12 Ways to “Bring It”

Please Note : This post contains affiliate links…

As an entrepreneur, it is much too easy to try to do “all the things”. You may find yourself chained to your computer, forgetting to play, feeling tired, or even feeling edgy around your loved ones instead of enjoying your time with them.

You may find that in trying to do it all, you forget about YOU

And that has to change my friends.

It’s high time we talk about self-love and the importance of giving yourself what you need and more.

For some of you, this idea of putting yourself first can feel wrong and confusing.

Especially for women. Think of all the TV shows where the moms are serving meals and it’s a joke how they don’t get to sit down and enjoy it. Eating a warm meal only if everyone else has theirs.

It’s often our first instinct to put everyone else first. It’s ingrained in us to take care of others and think of ourselves only if there’s time leftover.

But there’s no such thing as “leftover” time.

To make sure you have your best health, your best mental state, that you are living your best life, YOU need to make sure you treat yourself with the same love and compassion that you so willingly show others.

You would easily give love to someone else, be kind, and make sure they are fed nourishing foods… so why would you be any different? You aren’t!

The more you put your needs first, the more energy/time/love you have to spill out to your family and friends.

It’s like the oxygen masks on the airplanes where they remind you to put on your mask first. If you’re out of oxygen you won’t be able to help anyone else. You’re advised to make sure your body has what it needs so that you can help out elsewhere.

I not only encourage you to be in a loving and romantic relationship with yourself, but I’m also sharing 12 resources to support you with this mindset shift and self-nourishing behavior.

Because you my friend, are worth it!

Here are 12 simple ways to bring in the self-love:

1. Have me in your ear, encouraging you.

This is a pep talk I recorded for you for any time you are feeling down. Play it over and over when you need a pick me up and someone to remind you how great you are (because you are!).

Listen Here: A Pep Talk for Feeling Overwhelmed, Behind, or off Your Path

2. Energy protection.

Energy protection is the biggest form of self-love! It’s saying “I’m not going to feel drained by emotions and energy that doesn’t belong to me!”

Here is a great meditation to learn more about energetic cords and how to cut them:

Listen Here: Is Cord Cutting Total BS?

3. Energy protection at work.

Protecting your personal energy anywhere you are is important. But we all know work, even as a solo entrepreneur, can be draining.

If you are connecting with people in person, over the phone, online… your energy is interacting (energy doesn’t know time or space).

Here is a great podcast episode about how to protect your energy at work:

Listen Here: How To Protect Your Energy At Work And Avoid Feeling Depleted

4. Cleanse your energy regularly.

Cleansing your energy is just as important as protecting it. In fact, cleansing it first helps you seal only good energy in before you put on your energetic boundaries.

I’ve recorded free meditations to clear each of the 7 chakras. Try it anytime your energy feels stuck, in the morning to set up your day with a clean slate, or any time you can fit this in –  your energy will thank you!

Find the meditations here:  7 FREE Meditations to Clear, Repair, and Align Your Chakras

Note: If you’re an annual or seasonal member of Mastery & Ascension, you will find a full chakra clearing meditation in your account.

5. Nourish your physical body.

There is no shortage of ways to give your body nourishment and no “one-size-fits-all” approach to it.

I will say that I have found that if I start my morning in the healthiest way possible, it carries out to the rest of my day.

One of the ways I personally do that is with Organifi. It’s a green drink and I take it each morning and it helps me choose healthier foods throughout the day.

I’ve also discovered that when I feel down, I’m more drawn to the foods that are not as good for me.

It’s helpful to think about how you can use your intuition and chakra colors to support your food choices.

I talk about it in this podcast:

Listen Here: How to Use Chakra Colors in Your Biz, Life, and Food Choices

6. Detoxing Your Body.

There are many ways to detox, but sauna therapy is one of my favorites because it feels relaxing and “spa-like”.

Infrared Saunas have been rising in popularity the past few years because of their ability to support detoxification and cell renewal through the type of heat waves they omit.

The infrared sauna’s claim to fame is the immunity support, potential weight loss by stimulating your metabolism, and the relaxation factor.

You can go to a physical location, buy one for your home, and they also have portable ones if space is an issue.

I’m loving this one because it’s portable and you can use it anywhere:

See it on Amazon 

7. Mental detox.

While the infrared sauna (or other methods) may help your physical detox, mental detoxing is just as important.

Meditation and *gasp* a break from social media and the news… can do wonders.

What if you add just 15 minutes of quiet to your day? No screen time, no noise unless it’s relaxing music. A true brain break.

Try it and see!

8. Rose scent to add self-love into your life:

The scent of rose is said to be uplifting and bring about feelings of comfort and love.

You can bring these feelings of love into your life by diffusing rose-scented oil, adding rose essential oils to your bath, buying roses, planting a rose bush, and even using rose water in your daily routine. See it on Amazon

Bringing rose scents into your life can also support your heart chakra. It just smells of self-love.

 

9. Place rose quartz near you.

If you don’t want to diffuse rose oil or buy roses, having heart-shaped rose quartz can also bring in those feelings of love.

You can get a small one to carry with you or a larger stone to keep at your desk or by your bedside.

I’ve even known people to sleep with crystals under their bed and what better way to sleep than by feeling loved.

Here are some options from Amazon and you can also support small businesses by purchasing rose quartz on Etsy.

10. Movement.

Movement is such an easy way to add self-love to your life.

Our bodies need to move it, move it! It keeps us from getting stiff, supports flexibility as we age, stimulates the mind, decreases stress… well you know that we NEED to move.

Make it a priority every day by trying:

  • Yoga Classes, either in-person or online.
  • Cranking up the music and dancing (extra points if you sing into a pretend microphone).
  • Walking outside, preferably around some trees but anything will help you move.
  • Stretching in between tasks is also a way to add some movement and get your energy flowing.

Bottom line, get that stuck energy moving while supporting your physical body!

11. Stop being a broke healer.

I say this with love because I was a broke healer and I know firsthand how it feels.

But I found my way out of it and have helped countless others do the same.

In this podcast episode, I share how to do it and give you a “stop being a broke healer” challenge.

This is self-love. To say you are worth more and deserve more is serious self-love.

Listen Here: Bust Through Being a Broke Energy Healer Challenge

12. Connect to other gentle, “light” minded people on the “woo spectrum” with M&A.

I would be remiss if I didn’t add personal connection to this list.

The Mastery & Ascension membership is there to not only give you access to all my meditations and self-support tools but also to connect you to other “light” minded people to whom you can bring your “woo” highs and lows too without judgment.

It’s a space where all members are learning and growing and I’m so proud of what a supportive environment it has become.

If you’d like to explore the membership, you can find more information here:

Mastery & Ascension Membership

Bonus Self-Love!

If you want to feel even more empowered in bringing the self-love, I have the book for you – Pussy: A Reclamation.

This book can be life-changing and life-affirming. It not only takes you back through history, through patriarchy, but also into really loving yourself, loving your body, loving your pleasure, and ultimately feeling totally empowered.

Because as women we are not taught to love ourselves and instead we often do the opposite… look for flaws.

I highly recommend it to you. Get it from the library, online, or anywhere you can get your hands on it.

See it on Amazon

This list is by no means exhaustive. What feels good to you? A walk in nature? A nap in the middle of the day? Your favorite chocolate?

Pamper yourself, not just on occasion but develop that way of being.

Listening to your favorite podcast, calling a friend, taking an Epsom salt bath, it doesn’t have to be elaborate.

Put yourself first so you can shine your light… inspiring others to shine theirs too.

Are you feeling inspired to put yourself first? Try committing to at least one act of self-love today and share it with me on IG @EmilyAarons. I’d love to hear from you.

Why Vision Boards for Goal Setting Isn’t Enough

Why Vision Boards for Goal Setting Isn’t Enough

You can make vision boards any time, but close to the New Year is when most people start to think about what they want to manifest in the coming year and they create their vision boards.

There are vision board parties where you can meet (in non-pandemic years) and cut out images with some friends to create your board.

There are even online apps for vision boards and blog posts about it galore.

But, do you find yourself wondering if vision boards even work or if they a bunch of crap?

If you watch a movie like The Secret (the 2006 version), it makes you think you can just cut out a bunch of pictures of fancy cars and houses, put it by your bed and your desk, and then just “envision” it until it comes to be.

Or you may have heard the now famous Jim Carrey story about how he wrote himself a check for 10 million dollars, dated it, and by the time the date arrived, he had made the money.

But for most of us, it doesn’t work that way.

 

Why vision boards can fail you.

Simply surrounding yourself with images usually isn’t enough.

There’s nothing wrong with it, I encourage you to do it if you want to, but without the “inner work” the visions can’t get through all the dense energy.

In other words, there are inner forces at work that can sabotage your beautiful vision board… and those things need to be dealt with to allow it through.

How to increase your ability to manifest instead.

I have a different way of looking at vision boards and New Year’s Resolutions that are long-lasting and it works. I’d like to share it with you.

To understand why I have this different approach, it’s important to look at the sabotaging factors that are coming between you and your envisioning!

Here are some obstacles that counteract your vision board manifestations and how to heal it:

1. Shadow Energy can block your manifestations.

Shadow energy is the yin and yang for light work. If there’s light there is dark, so shadow energy is the dark side of it.

This doesn’t mean it’s negative or bad, it just means it can block what you’re trying to create in your life if you don’t acknowledge it (see Episode 207 of the Aligned & Unstoppable Podcast : How Shadow Work Ignites Your Power Source for a more detailed discussion about it).

If you put that you are a famous author on your vision board, but you have deep-seated insecurities that you aren’t a good writer – it acts as an energy to counteract your goal.

Learning to look at your shadows and explore why you feel that way is important for the law of attraction and what you are trying to manifest.

In the case of Jim Carrey and his $10 million check, when he tells the story it seems like he fully believed he was worth receiving the $10 million for acting.

But if he had a conflicting shadow belief such as “true artists don’t accept money for their work”, he likely wouldn’t have been paid $10 million.

Do you see how this works?

I also want to remind you that we often aren’t aware of these beliefs until we dig deeper. It’s one of the reasons I created an entire digital library of meditations devoted to mindset and manifestation in the Mastery and Ascension Membership.

Usually, we discover we have a limiting belief when we hit a wall in achieving our goals.

It doesn’t mean the vision board idea is flawed, it just means that if you have a competing belief it can block the image from coming to fruition.

 

2. Karma can interfere (join my free Karma Cleanse!)

Karma is another energy that can interfere with your ability to manifest, vision board or no vision board.

If something is blocking your energy it’s going to show up when you are manifesting.

Hard truth moment: We manifest the good and the bad!

We really want to be able to set goals and achieve them rather than have old energies come up and block those goals.

Cleansing your karma is just as important as smudging your home, cleaning out clutter, or even cleaning old food out of the fridge.

You need to create a clean slate once and awhile and I highly recommend my free karma cleanse.

I do it every year and you can sign up to be notified when I go live for 2021 here:

With this free Karma Cleanse, I explain how to journal and clear the energy that’s blocking you from manifesting what you’re wanting.

You can do the karma cleanse all year long. Anytime you feel you need it to help open you up to new opportunities and awareness.

3. Short-Lived Intentions (like New Year’s Eve Resolutions)

The last thing that gets in the way of using vision boards for goal setting is what I call the short-lived intentions.

These are the New Year’s Eve resolutions like “I’m going to go to the gym more” that are often forgotten by the time February rolls around.

The problem with these type of goals are that they are matter of fact and the law of attraction responds so much more easily to feelings.

If you do want to set resolutions and use a vision board, try putting images of how you want to feel.

Pictures of someone loving exercising, meditating, drinking green juice, or money falling from the sky.

Evoke the feeling that goes with the thing you want to manifest. Emotion and “the feels” are a big enhancer to the law of attraction.

The goal alone may come and go too quickly.

 

To sum up, here are some ways to make 2021 a little brighter:

  • Join me for the FREE Karma Cleanse (you can sign up for a reminder and the fill-in workbook HERE).

EP 101: Angels in Your Biz Weekly Forecast December 23

 

 

This week is all about showing up – for yourself and your soulmate clients!

 

DECEMBER 23 FORECAST:

 

5. Get outside: Take a breather

Your angels are not mincing their words! Take a breather outside. Bundle up if you have to but you need fresh air. Sitting at a desk is amazing and I’m sure you’re killing it today, but even still, you need to move your body and enjoy the day. Extra credit if you go for a walk by the ocean, in the woods, or just visit your favorite place. Once you get there your angels are going to dump inspiration into you, so get ready to receive!

 

 ​16. Be the magnet: Harness the power within you

It’s time to harness the power you have within. Focus your attention and thoughts on exactly what you want. Give yourself permission to want whatever you want, even if it’s excessive; you deserve it! Release any thoughts of lack, what if, or worry to your angels. To truly become the magnet you must feel unconditional love in your heart and allow it to expand within and all around you. A magnet never questions if it will attract another magnet, it just is. Who are you not to attract everything you desire? Your feelings are the magnet, so whether you’re feeling good or feeling bad, the universe doesn’t care, it will always deliver that to you. Put on some dancing music or watch a funny cat video, get your VIBE high!

 

44. Visibility: It’s safe to be me.

You’ve done a remarkable job of tapping into your big vision. Now it’s time to allow the world to see you in all your glory. Your angels are here to help you release any limiting beliefs around being judged as a lightworker from all lifetimes. It’s time to let go of the doubts or worries; there are too many people praying for you right now. Get over yourself and show up for the ones who are out there struggling without your guidance. Mantra: “It is safe to be unapologetically me. Nothing added to me would make me any greater, nothing taken away would make me any less. I am pure free forever.”

EP 98: Angels in Your Biz Weekly Forecast December 16

 

 

This week is about taking responsibility to move forward – with lots of support along your way!

 

DECEMBER 16 FORECAST:

 

11. Responsibility: “I am NOT a victim”

The universe isn’t testing you, it’s reflecting you. It’s time to take full responsibility for everything happening within you and all around you. If you aren’t happy with the way things look, change them. Remember, whenever you point your finger, there are three pointing back at you. Time to look at your own stuff a little deeper and notice the stories you’ve been telling yourself about this situation. Start by saying: “I choose this, I am NOT a victim.” The more we assume responsibility for our thoughts, feelings, energy, and circumstances, the more those things begin to improve.

 

 ​39. Guardian Angels: Infinite support is here

You’ve been working so hard! When you pull this card, 100 guardian angels appear around. Allow them to alleviate your anxiety, worry, doubt, and stress. Take a deep breath and know that you’re taken care of today and everyday. Even though they’re invisible, your guardian angels are always here to surround you and infuse you with unconditional love.

 

21. Manifestation: You are a manifesting machine

You’re literally a manifesting machine. Your thoughts are electric, and your body is magnetic. When your thoughts and feelings align, you can manifest instantly. Forget “realistic” or “timing”; you’re the one with the power. Today is the day to proclaim what you desire and by when. Release any stories around your wants and repeat this mantra: “The more I say yes to my desires, the more the Universe says yes to me.” Start small with a quarter, then a parking spot, then go wild; you deserve it!
