Enhancing Intuition Through Energy Work: Unlocking Your Inner Knowing

Intuition isn’t just a gut feeling—it’s your built-in guidance system. It’s that quiet nudge, the deep knowing that steers you toward what’s right before your mind can catch up. And while logic has its place, intuition connects you to something deeper—your energy, your truth, and the unseen forces guiding your life.

For over two decades, Janell Warkentin has helped individuals strengthen their intuitive gifts through energy work—the practice of balancing and harmonizing the body’s subtle energies to promote clarity, healing, and alignment. At janellrae.com, she teaches that intuition and energy work are not separate paths, but deeply intertwined journeys.

If you’ve ever wondered how to develop your intuition, trust your inner voice, or enhance your energy work practice, this guide will help you understand the powerful connection between intuition and energy healing—and how to tap into it.

What is Intuition and Why Does It Matter?

Intuition is often called a “sixth sense,” but it’s not a mystical gift reserved for a select few. It’s an innate ability that we all have—one that can be strengthened with practice and awareness.

Key Benefits of Strengthening Your Intuition:

✔ Better decision-making—You’ll trust yourself more, even when logic is unclear.
✔ Stronger energy work practice—Your intuition will help you sense shifts in energy, blockages, and solutions.
✔ More alignment in life—When you listen to your intuition, you naturally move toward what’s meant for you.

“Intuition is your body’s way of communicating what your mind hasn’t fully grasped yet.” – Janell Warkentin

How Energy Work Enhances Intuition

1. Clears Mental and Emotional Blocks

Your intuition is always working, but past experiences, fear, and overthinking can dull it. Energy work helps clear stagnant emotions and energetic imbalances that block your ability to hear and trust your inner voice.

2. Increases Sensitivity to Energy

Energy work attunes you to subtle energetic shifts, allowing you to pick up on intuitive signals more easily. Over time, you’ll notice how your body reacts to different situations—whether it’s a “yes” feeling of warmth and openness or a “no” feeling of tightness and resistance.

3. Strengthens the Connection Between Mind and Body

Energy healing practices like Reiki, meditation, and breathwork strengthen the mind-body connection, helping you tune in to intuitive insights that arise through sensations, emotions, and thoughts.

“When you clear energy blocks, your intuition speaks louder. It’s not that your intuition wasn’t there before—you just weren’t hearing it clearly.” – Janell Warkentin

Practices to Develop Intuition Through Energy Work

🌿 1. Reiki for Intuitive Awareness

Reiki, a form of energy healing that channels universal life force energy, naturally enhances intuition. During a Reiki session, practitioners often receive intuitive insights through sensations, images, or emotions that provide guidance.

How to Use Reiki for Intuition:
✔ Place your hands over your heart and ask for intuitive guidance.
✔ Pay attention to any sensations or thoughts that arise during a Reiki session.
✔ Journal after a session to capture insights and patterns that emerge.

🧘 2. Meditation for Inner Guidance

Quieting the mind is essential for accessing intuition. Meditation helps you tune out distractions and hear the whispers of your inner knowing.

Simple Meditation for Intuition:
1️⃣ Find a quiet space and close your eyes.
2️⃣ Take deep, grounding breaths.
3️⃣ Ask yourself a question and observe what arises—images, words, or sensations.
4️⃣ Trust the first feeling you get—intuition speaks quickly, before doubt creeps in.

🔮 3. Working with Crystals to Amplify Intuition

Crystals can support intuitive development by attuning your energy field to higher awareness.

Best Crystals for Intuition:
🔹 Amethyst – Enhances spiritual awareness and insight
🔹 Labradorite – Opens the third eye chakra for intuitive clarity
🔹 Selenite – Clears energetic blocks, allowing messages to flow

Tip: Meditate with these crystals or keep them near your workspace to strengthen your intuitive connection.

💨 4. Breathwork to Clear Energy Blocks

Breathwork is a powerful way to shift energy and clear any blocks that may be muffling your intuition.

Try This:
✔ Inhale deeply for 4 counts, hold for 4 counts, exhale for 8 counts.
✔ As you breathe, imagine releasing mental fog and emotional clutter.
✔ Ask yourself, “What do I need to know today?” and listen.

“Intuition is loudest when your energy is clear. That’s why breathwork and energy healing go hand in hand.” – Janell Warkentin

Q&A: Common Questions About Intuition & Energy Work

Q: How do I know if it’s intuition or just overthinking?

✔ Intuition is fast, clear, and neutral. It feels like a deep knowing rather than a spiraling thought loop. If you find yourself analyzing, that’s probably overthinking.

Q: Can anyone develop their intuition?

✔ Absolutely! Intuition is a skill that improves with practice. Energy healing, meditation, and self-awareness all help strengthen it.

Q: How does the third eye chakra affect intuition?

✔ The third eye chakra (between your eyebrows) is linked to inner wisdom and vision. When balanced, it allows you to receive intuitive insights more clearly.

Q: What’s the fastest way to sharpen my intuition?

✔ Trust it and practice daily. Keep a journal of intuitive hits and confirm later how accurate they were. The more you trust, the stronger it gets.

Q: Can energy healing help if I feel disconnected from my intuition?

✔ Yes! Energy healing clears mental fog, emotional baggage, and limiting beliefs, making it easier for you to hear and trust your intuition.

Final Thoughts: Trust Yourself, Your Energy Knows

Your intuition is always there—it’s just waiting for you to clear the noise and listen. By incorporating energy work, meditation, and mindful awareness, you can develop a deeper connection with your inner guidance and trust yourself more fully.
