What if I Don’t Score Well in My Intuitive Development Exercises?

intuitive development exercises deck

Intuitive development exercises with animal communication

An animal communication student asked, “If my intuition scores on the cards/colors intuition development exercise continue to be average or below….is there a point to continuing?”

She’s referring to one of the many Intuition Development Exercises and Lessons I created especially for our animal communication Animal Talk Coaching & Mastery Club members.

And she’s getting frustrated and feels discouraged because her scores aren’t above average yet.

I understand that, maybe you can relate too.

But she’s missing the point of the intuition development exercise.

Before I answer, let’s consider what the exercise is.

It’s about developing the FELT intuitive ability to sense the frequency of colors, shapes, and energy information.

To do the exercise, start with just a few cards, turn them over face down, choose one without turning it over.

Feel into it, explore the energy, and notice your impressions.

intuitive development exercises cards

Use all your “clairs”!

How does it feel?

For clairsentient folks, you’ll notice a sense of it, a feeling, a visceral impression, a “knowing”, maybe even an emotion or other sensation.

What does it look like?

For clairvoyant folks, you’ll get an impression, a flash of color, shape(s), a picture, image, sometimes it’s just a little hint or peek at it visually in your mind’s eye monitor, and sometimes you’ll “see” the card in it’s entirety.

What does it sound like?

For clairaudient folks, you may hear it tell you what it is, like 3 of spades, or 5 of hearts, or “Hi, I’m Jack”, or…

What is your first impression? (don’t overthink this, take the first impression you get…)

For claircognizant folks, you may simply download the knowing of what it is.

There are many more intuitive senses beyond the 4 primary clairs, so be open to those as well.

Next, turn the card over and compare your impressions with the actual card. Notice what you notice.

Some days it will work better than others, depending on how focused you are, how easily you can turn off your mind and mental chatter and shift into a feeling state of being, how stressed you are, and how well your “clairs” are working for you at that moment.

Sometimes, you’ll only get a little bit of it, and that’s a good thing. Celebrate that!

Maybe you’ll just receive an impression or feel for a color, shape, type… just a hint of it, an inkling (pun intended).

Sometimes your intuitive impression could be viewed from different angles, so you may see the star or circle or shape upside down or sideways, not right side up.

What’s the point of continuing if your scores aren’t above average?

This intuition development exercise is NOT about scoring high or being above average or getting it right every time.

I don’t recommend scoring yourself, it’s not a competition.

It’s an exercise, like weight building adds physical muscles. Only in this case, it’s focused on exercising and building your intuitive muscles.

It’s about learning and training yourself to SENSE the world around you, feeling shapes and colors and frequencies energetically.

The world is a flowing mass of energetic impressions and flow, think “waves” of energy going on all around you, all the time.

intuitive development exercises energy

Your job is to sensitize yourself to feeling the waves, aligning and focusing, to bring in and interpret information from the world.

PLEASE do not use a gaming app! That will NOT help you improve your intuitive ability.

To get really good at this, you need specially designed intuitive development exercises created for animal communication students. In the Heart School of Animal Communication® courses and in the Animal Talk Coaching & Mastery Club, we have many of these wonderful exercises available for students.

One more note about scoring…

Scoring yourself and feeling disheartened thinking you’re not good enough or getting discouraged can be a trigger, a wound, and invites you to do your inner healing work so you don’t misinterpret information through the filter of your wounds.

Quitting the exercise is a great way to stop yourself from exploring, discovering, and improving your sensing intuitive abilities.

Giving up and doing a different exercise because you don’t like this one or think you’re not good at it is a great way to get blocked and stuck on ALL of the intuitive development exercises.

Because how we do 1 thing is how we do everything.

If you don’t heal the pattern, you’ll likely encounter it, project it, or create it again in other places in your life.

Could you choose a different exercise? Yes of course, but you were drawn to this one for a reason.

I recommend mastering it.

And, if you really want to change and try something else?

Okay! Go for it.

Do a different exercise and see what happens. 😊

Keep trying, keep learning, keep growing, healing, and evolving your intuitive skills.

Whatever you do, don’t quit. Instead, firm your resolve to get better at it and improve.

Ask yourself if you are making mistakes or are you making new discoveries?

You’re teaching yourself how the cards or colors feel, so you can better recognize them when you encounter them in other places or ways.

intuitive development exercises waves

Why is this important?

When an animal communicates with you and you sense colors or shapes in their energy field, or they talk to you and send you emotions or feelings, you’ll KNOW what blue or red or black or whatever color is.

You’ll hear them, you’ll download the gestalt of the message.

You’ll follow the energy, surf the wave.

When they send you shapes or impressions or concepts, you’ll pick those up too.

Colors are frequencies, indicating health or health problems. You want to be aware of them when that happens.

Getting quiet in your mind and shifting into exploratory mode, investigating nuances in messages and energy will help you be a better communicator.
