YOU WANT DEEP TRANSFORMATION. To live a life of meaning and joy. Toovercome fear and old patterns that are keeping you stuck. You have a feelingthat there’s more for you, and that feeling keeps tugging at your heart. Youwant to make better decisions, and have an easier time doing it.

WE ARE LIVING IN A DYNAMIC TIME. I believe more and more people arefeeling called to rise up, evolve their inner selves, and live more consciously.

YOU ARE UNIQUE, exceptional, and have valuable gifts to share that can helpothers. And the world NEEDS more people like you. But HOW can you fullystep into your higher calling?

WHEN YOU CONSISTENTLY OPERATE FROM YOUR OWN PLACE OFINNER WISDOM, you will feel more supported, more energized, and be ableto powerfully create the life you want. At the same time, your own happinessand success will increase as a natural byproduct of you being in true alignmentwith your core values, and your inner compass.

WHAT WOULD IT BE LIKE to really trust yourself? HOW WOULD IT FEEL toexperience more fulfillment, more confidence, and to finally be living your lifeon purpose?

My "Why"

C r e a t e d b y K r i s t y n C a e t a n o , I n t u i t i v e C o a c h & H y p n o t h e r a p i s t w w w . e l i x i f y y o u r l i f e . c o m

I’ve learned to listen to my own inner messages over time, and they never fail tosteer me in the right direction. It wasn’t always that way though. I spent a goodchunk of my life frozen with indecision, afraid to really be seen in the world, anddoubting myself.

And then I decided to change my life, to take more risks, to get stronger. Once Imade the COMMITMENT to seriously cultivate and trust my intuition, it reallyliberated me. It helped me create my own blueprint for happiness – a foundationfrom which I could base all my decisions and actions with confidence.

My core values + intuition make up a strong inner support system for my life, butalso provide a practical method of helping me take action in a way that really feelsright.

So I invite you set aside some sacred time toexplore this workbook, and give yourself thebeautiful gift of activating and honoring yourintuition.

With lots and lots of love ~

AND I WANT THE SAME FOR YOU.

I have a deep desire to help you live a fullyexpressed life. I envision a world where each andevery one of us is truly living our potential, feelingalive and vibrant, and shining in the world.

Can you imagine? I can!

When you combine intuition with the power of your mind, you can createunlimited possibilities for yourself!

This is because your intuition connects you to your subconscious, which iswhere beliefs and habits are formed, changed, and sustained. Yoursubconscious mind is a powerhouse of potentiality, and intuition speaks thelanguage that your subconscious mind understands.

What Is Intuition, Anyway?

Page 6: Copy of Cover for PDF - Intuition Activation - Elixify …elixifyyourlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Intuition...When you combine intuition with the power of your mind, you can

Your intuition is one of the most powerful tools you can use to achieve yourbiggest dreams.

Cultivating your inner knowing is also one of the most impactful ways toimprove your overall happiness. Your intuition will always bring you backhome to yourself.

I believe that the soul wants to express itself in meaningful ways, and whenwe’re NOT living our deepest truth, it can be very painful and leave us feelingrestless, dissatisfied, and depleted.

The trick is, you NEED to stay energized and positive in order to bust outyour beautiful mojo in the world (in whatever creative form that takes), andto feel the joy that you so deserve!

The more you trust and use your own inner knowing, the more easily andconsistently you will be able to:

*Make better, heart-based decisions more often and more quickly*Creatively solve practical problems*Gain confidence and clarity*Achieve success and fulfillment at home, work, or school*Feel more inspired and uplifted, rather than drained*Overcome doubt, fear, stuck-ness, and anxiety

What Intuition Can Do For You

This toolkit is designed to help you understand and reconnect with yourintuition, plus help you USE it to guide every area of your life...your work,health, and relationships.

Anyone can learn to develop and strengthen their intuition “muscle”!

How to successfully use the tools:

The first step is to pay closer attention to your FEELINGS and sensations, andthe information they contain. The next step is to further develop your abilityby creating a HABIT of using it, so that it becomes a regular and readilyaccessible part of your daily life.

The key to fully activating your intuition in a powerful way is to COMBINE thewisdom of your inner knowing with the practical abilities of your brain. Thisblending of logic and insight, the bridging of your left brain and right brain, iswhat will give you the full empowerment you need.

The first thing to determine is HOW does your intuition speak to you?

Intuition has it’s own language. It doesn’t tell you in sure-fire, vivid detail whatit knows. It communicates in more subtle ways. Intuition can come in theform of dreams or symbols (Visual) , an inner voice that you can hear(Auditory), physical sensations (tingling, a gut feeling) (Body-based), a flash ofinsight, coincidences and synchronicities, or you may simply “feel right” (orwrong) about something ( Sensory).

People usually receive information MOST OFTEN through one or two of themain types of intuitive communication; Visual, Auditory, Gut/Body Based, orSensory.

Intuition Activation TOOL #1:Your Intuitive Communication Style

Page 10: Copy of Cover for PDF - Intuition Activation - Elixify …elixifyyourlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Intuition...When you combine intuition with the power of your mind, you can

Focused awareness through meditation, breath-work, qi gong, walking innature, etc. helps you connect with your subconscious mind, your body, andhelps you clear mind chatter and find focus. When you develop a habit ofcultivating present moment awareness, you create space for your intuition tobe heard.

For many people, it does take some commitment to develop a consistenthabit. Practice makes perfect! Get used to listening, and you will soon developan intuition habit for yourself .

Here are some tips for success:

*Ensure that you designate time and space for mindfulness and meditation.Make it sacred. It helps to choose the same time every day. Try doing it forjust 5-15 minutes a day. If that goes well, then you can begin to increase timeand build from there.

(For example, I do a regular daily meditation + energy clearing practice duringmy lunch break. I can feel a big difference even by doing this for only 5 or 10minutes a day)!

*It’s important to be in a neutral state of mind. Slow down. You must be inthe present moment in order to discern and notice the subtleties of yourintuitive messages.

*Please be gentle with yourself. If you fall off the mindfulness wagon, just getright back on again. You already know how.

Intuition Activation TOOL #2:Stillness, Breath, & Awareness

Page 11: Copy of Cover for PDF - Intuition Activation - Elixify …elixifyyourlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Intuition...When you combine intuition with the power of your mind, you can

1) When you wake up in the morning, before you get out of bed just take afew extra moments to lie there and become aware of your surroundings.

Next, breathe in slowly and steadily while saying “I am” to yourself, and as youbreathe out say “calm”. (You can switch out the word “calm” for any otherword or phrase that resonates, such as “strong”, “peace”, “joy”, “healthy”,“grounded”, “alive”, etc.). Repeat this at least 5 times, then go out and enjoyyour day!

2) Get out somewhere in nature, even if it’s just a little patch of grass in thecity.

Just enjoy BEING as you tune into the sights, sounds, and smells around you.Does the air feel crisp, or warm? Can you hear birds chirping, or leavesrustling? Allow yourself to just “zone out” on the beauty of your naturalsurroundings. The earth is connected with the rhythms of the seasons, thecycles of the moon, and more. It’s automatically conducive to unplugging andtapping in.

3) While you’re there, you can try another breathing exercise:

Breathe in slowly and steadily while counting to 10. At the top of yourbreathe, hold it for the count of 5. As you breathe out, count to 10. Releasethe tension in your body. Repeat this several times.

Simple Mindfulness Practices to Try...

4) You can also create a simple visualization for yourself. Here's a sample:

Imagine a safe and tranquil place. It could be your favorite beach, a beautifulgarden, or any other scene that feels good to you. Engage all the senses whileyou visit your special place in your mind. Are there particular colors, sounds,or scents there? Now imagine that a group of wise teachers has come to visitand provide you with guidance. Some people like to imagine these teachers asangels, ancestors, or other magical beings. Let them know that you are opento receiving information that will help you. Talk to them and tell them aboutyour concerns. You can ask them questions, then just feel the answers popinto your mind as you continue the dialogue. Ask them what the lessons are,and what you need to do next.

Pro Tip: If your mind keeps racing and is having trouble “letting go”, you canalso use simple imagery to help clear it and deepen your state of relaxation.

Here are a few options:

*Imagine an old black trunk in front of you with brass hinges and handles.Raise the lid of the trunk and place all your worries, fears, anger, and sorrowinside. Close the lid of the trunk. Your mind is now free.

*See before you a huge tent filled with people, objects, and feelings. As youconcentrate on this tent, a sudden gust of wind blows through and sweeps thetent free of clutter. Your mind is now as clear as that tent.

*Imagine you are walking along the shoreline of a beautiful beach. Trace yourname in the sand, and then watch the waves wash it away. Continue tracingyour name and watching the waves wash over it for a minute or two, untilyour mind is able to let go.

Now open your eyes. How do you feel?

Getting into the habit of writing down your impressions, thoughts, dreams,synchronicities, and feelings can help you recognize and name your intuitivemessages.

Keeping a journal also helps validate your intuition. As you look back on yournotes you’ll be able to see patterns, and confirm the times when your intuitionand impressions turned out to be right.

As you write, don’t censor yourself. Record every vibe or inkling that flashesthrough. You never know if something that doesn’t make sense now will havemeaning later on. Just put down whatever comes to mind, whether it’s words,symbols, or images.

Keeping a journal also directs your subconscious mind to acknowledge thatyour intuition is important, so that it will begin to cooperate more and more inhelping you receive clear signs. Every time you write something down, you aresending the message that it’s worth noting, and your subconscious mind willbegin to pay attention.

ProTip: Intuition works best when you focus on what you WANT, so it’simportant to ask yourself the right questions. Instead of asking, “why am Istuck in this miserable job?”, ask, “what type of work makes me feel lighter,happier, and more energized?”

On the next two pages you'll find some journaling prompts to guide you asyou explore your intuition.

There are some fun “games” you can play as a way of practicing andstrengthening your intuition. Remember, it’s like a muscle that can be trainedand developed!

Here are a few to try:

1) Guess who’s calling when the phone rings (before you look at caller ID, ofcourse).

2) Cut up several pieces of colored construction paper, and place singlesmall pieces into plain envelopes.

*Next, create 3-4 envelopes containing the same color, and use at least 5different colors so that you have 15-20 envelopes total.

*Have a friend number the envelopes so that you have no idea what numberscorrespond to which colors. Shuffle the envelopes.

*Go through them one by one, and try to sense what color you feel is inside.

*Write the number and color on a tally sheet.

*When you have gone through all the envelopes, open them and see how youdid (this is a great one to do with kids).

3) Choose random cards from a deck and try to guess which ones they arewithout looking. Record how many you get right.

4) Hold an object belonging to someone you don’t know very well. See if youget any images, feelings, or information about this person. Confirm yourintuitive messages with that person, or someone who knows them well.

Don’t worry if some of your answers are wrong at first! The more youpractice, the better you’ll get.

Your non-dominant hand is the OPPOSITE of the one you’d normally writewith (for example, since I’m right-handed, my non-dominant hand is my left).

Each of our hands is connected to the opposite hemisphere of our brains. Soyour right hand is connected to the left brain; the side responsible forlanguage, judgment and intellect. And your left hand is connected to the rightbrain; the source of creativity, perception and empathy. Studies indicate thatone hemisphere or the other can be active when we use our dominant hand,but BOTH hemispheres are activated when we use our non-dominant hand.

So regardless of which hand we favor, writing and drawing with the non-dominant hand gives us greater access to qualities like feeling, intuition,creativity, and spirituality.

In this exercise, you can use your non-dominant hand to help uncover any partof you that may be hidden or not fully expressed, such as a personal fear, acertain emotion, a part of your body, or your inner knowing. It’s a great wayto create dialogue with your intuition and your subconscious mind, plus getanswers to your burning questions!

*Note: if you’re ambidextrous, just close your eyes for a moment and askyourself which hand should “act” as the dominant one today, just for thisexercise. And it’s ok to change it up the next time.

Page 19: Copy of Cover for PDF - Intuition Activation - Elixify …elixifyyourlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Intuition...When you combine intuition with the power of your mind, you can

Here’s how to do it:

Set aside a bit of time so that you can be undisturbed to do this exercise. You’llneed to gather a few supplies; plain white paper, your favorite pen or pencils.

You may want to play soothing music in the background, or light a candle.Create a nurturing space for yourself.

1) Close your eyes and take a few moments to breathe and get groundedwithin yourself.

2) Now form a question in your mind. Perhaps you have a problem that needssolving, or a decision that needs to be made, or you want to gain insight into anegative belief or pattern that keeps showing up in your life.

3) Now ask yourself this question out loud or in your head (you may alsowrite out the question with your dominant hand).

4) Next, pick up a pen with your non-dominant hand and allow it to expressany answers or insight with pictures or words (you may want to choose adifferent color pen than what you used to write with your dominant hand).

It’s important to just let it be a free-flow stream of consciousness. Anythinggoes! Try not to judge or analyze what’s happening.

Your non-dominant handwriting may look wonky and be hard to read, but itcan also contain some pearls of wisdom coming directly from yoursubconscious!

You can deepen the experience with additional questions and statements,while continuing to use your non-dominant hand to answer. Here are someexamples:

*What do you WANT to feel (in this situation)?

*How DO you feel about this decision?

*What do I need to know?

*It’s ok to express all this.

*I’m listening.

*I’m open to receive wisdom from my higher self.

Ever feel like you just can’t decide the best course of action, no matter howhard you try? In fact, you may be trying too hard (i.e. thinking too much).

Here are a couple of different methods to help you make decisions moreeasily, and be able to have confidence that it’s the right course of action foryou!

1) Write a few sentences about a decision you’re faced with. Write downtwo different options you have, and call them Choice A and Choice B. Now,close your eyes, breathe and get centered.

* Imagine yourself making the decision to go with Choice A. How does it feelto make that decision? Do you feel elated and enthusiastic? Or down anddepressed?

* How does your body react to the decision? Does it feel light and open? Ortight and tense?

* Do any words or visual pictures pop in your head when you make thisdecision? Do you hear words like “yes” or “no”? Do you see optimistic pictures,or do you see the decision with a big “X” marked through it?

* Now repeat the process with Choice B.

Your inner guidance always directs you to the choice that will be thehealthiest and most fulfilling for you.

2) The Sway Test (also known as Body Pendulum)

You might have heard about muscle testing (or Applied Kinesiology) as a wayof getting answers, or to find out what impact something is having on yourenergy system (positive or negative). The Sway Test is the one of easiest typesof muscle testing you can learn.

How does it work?

Just like a tree leans to face the sun, the human body will naturally be drawntoward what is positive and true, and will naturally be repelled by somethingthat doesn’t feel good to it.

This is called an ideomotor response, which means that your thoughts andemotions can produce a certain response in your nervous system, which thenconnects to a motor response (movement in your body).

*Right away you will notice that it’s impossible to stand perfectly still. Yourbody will continue to make slight shifts as your muscles work to keep youstanding, and these movements are not within your conscious control.

*Now you’re ready to establish your baseline to make sure you’ll be getting anaccurate response to your questions.

Here's the process:

1) First think or say aloud the word “Yes” with a positive feeling (alternatively,you can use a statement that you KNOW to be true, such as “My name is____.”) Wait and notice your body’s subtle response to “Yes”. It should begin tosway noticeably in one direction (for most people, “yes” induces a forwardsway).

2) Now think or say aloud the word “No”, with a yucky negative feeling behindit (or make a completely UNTRUE statement such as “My name is CookieMonster”). Notice which way your body moves.

Your body’s response may seem subtle at first, but you should be able tosense a definite sway one way or the other.

You can repeat this a few times for practice.

NOW you can start asking questions using the Sway Test!

Remember, for this technique you need to formulate questions that only havethe possibility of a “yes” or “no” answer (rather than multiple choice).

Examples of some questions you might ask are:

*Should I go out on a second date with that man/woman?

*Would it be beneficial to take _____course or class?

*Is this supplement going to benefit my health?

*Should I apply for that job?

*Is ____ a good investment?

And so on.

*Note: If you have trouble standing, this test can also be done while sitting.

How did it go?

Were you able to discern a clear “yes” or a clear “no” for the questions youasked?

Fear vs. knowing...how to tell the difference

When your intuition gives you a clear course of action, do you ever findyourself wondering if it’s not really your intuition speaking, but maybe it’sactually some sort of deep self-sabotage or fear undermining your happiness,and in fact, you really should do the opposite?

Learn to tell the difference between irrational fear and authentic knowing.

Here are some warning signs to pay attention to that help you know whenyou’re getting off track and stuck in fear mode:

*you feel stressed, emotionally charged, unsettled, depressed, hopeless, depleted, or drained.*your body feels tight, contracted, strained, or numb*your mind is racing*you begin catastrophizing, analyzing, worrying, or projecting

On the contrary, genuine and reliable intuition comes across like this:

*it feels right in your gut or body*it provides information NEUTRALLY and without emotion*it has a compassionate, affirming tone*it conveys a detached sensation, similar to being in a theater watching a movie

Falling off the intuition wagon...and how to get back on

Ever feel like sometimes you’re really good at listening to your intuition...andother times not so much?

Even though our innate sixth sense is always inside us...we sometimes losesight of it and are afraid to trust it. Even worse, we squash it and override it.We get bamboozled by fear, naysayers, external pressures, internal “shoulds”,and feelings of unworthiness or doubt.

Then what I call our “mental hamster wheel” starts spinning out. Our mindsbegin to race and our bodies feel tense, as we continue to fear, dismiss, andimagine the worst possible outcomes. This results in second-guessingourselves, and then we become paralyzed and unable to move forward on ourmost passionate goals.

We forget to lean in and investigate our feelings, whether they’reuncomfortable or not. We forget to drop out of our brains and into our bodies,where we can find inner stillness and hear the messages more clearly. We failto claim our power.

So how do we get back on the wagon in those moments and begin to trustourselves again?

Here are few quick things you can do the moment you notice that yourintuitive connection feels out of whack:

*Stop and breathe

*Feel your feet on the floor and get grounded with the earth

*Tune into your physical surroundings, notice any sounds, sights, etc. Relaxinto it.

*Stop, focus your awareness, and just FEEL. Allow yourself to feel more, andalso to feel more deeply.

*Ask yourself “how does this feel in my body? Where do I feel this in mybody? What is my body trying to tell me, and why?”

*Ask yourself “how do I feel when I think about this situation?” Energized,excited, or calm? Tangled, stuck, or anxious?

When you take the time to do these things you can sense whether or not youare connected to Source, and to your intuition.

Pro Tip: The better you feel, the more connected you are. The worse youfeel, the more disconnected you are.

In fact, actively using our intuition is our natural state of being. NOT using itgoes against our basic human design.

Remember, sometimes activating your intuition is a process of unfolding. Itrequires that you trust the first sign, which leads to the next, and the next.

You are courageous for being here. Following your intuition is not always aneasy path filled with rainbows and butterflies. It might call on you to dosomething really difficult. Sometimes it takes strength to put your intuition inmotion. But it’s always worth it. Trust that. You are unlimited!
