Hello and welcome to another episode

0:02

of the Manifest Podcast. I hope

0:05

that whatever you're doing

0:07

today is bringing you joy

0:09

and that you can feel

0:11

the magnetic energy of change

0:13

and transformation being brought

0:15

into your life. Because that's why we're

0:17

here, right? You wouldn't be listening to

0:19

a podcast about manifestation and the law

0:21

of attraction if you didn't have and

0:23

hold in your heart that

0:25

sincere intention to prompt and

0:28

manifest change. So welcome in.

0:30

I am so excited to be here with you today. It

0:33

is a very special day. It just so

0:35

happens to be June the 20th, 2024. It

0:40

is the summer solstice, meaning that

0:43

the northern hemisphere is experiencing the

0:45

longest day and also the most

0:47

amount of light energetically that is

0:49

brought into our field of awareness.

0:52

And it's also, I think tomorrow

0:54

is actually a full moon. So

0:57

there's a lot of powerful energy going on today.

0:59

And I thought that this is a really important

1:01

time to talk about

1:03

today's topic, which is that

1:05

intuitive gaslighting is a

1:07

real thing. And what I mean by that

1:09

is the awareness that you must never let

1:12

anybody, and I mean anyone, tell

1:14

you that your intuition is wrong

1:17

and keep in your life the

1:19

really special people that trust and

1:22

honor your intuition. So

1:25

today we're going to dive deep

1:27

into the subtle nuances of the

1:29

human experience, which is nothing new

1:31

around here. And we're

1:33

also going to be exploring the

1:36

fascinating and often overlooked topic

1:38

of intuitive gaslighting. And

1:40

I know that there's a lot

1:42

of content out there on social

1:44

media talking about gaslighting in a

1:46

relationship dynamic, but it can happen

1:49

in the most subtle of ways.

1:52

So it's more common

1:54

than you think as well. But today we're going to

1:56

be taking a different spin on this topic. We're going

1:58

to be talking about not long ago. feelings.

4:01

And it's when you sense that something

4:03

is off but the other person convinces

4:05

you that your intuition is wrong or

4:07

irrational. And this can

4:09

happen in various ways and and

4:12

various relationship dynamics. Romantic relationships, I

4:14

mean I've seen this happen countless

4:16

times with clients. I've actually experienced

4:19

it myself in relationships. I've

4:21

seen it happen professionally even within

4:23

families. And this often starts

4:25

very subtly with comments like you're

4:28

overthinking it or you're just being

4:30

paranoid or you know how do

4:32

you know that's how do you know that's going to

4:35

happen or how do you know that's true. And

4:37

so over time these remarks can truly

4:39

erode your confidence in your own

4:41

intuitive abilities. And so you find

4:43

yourself going kind of upstream when

4:46

it comes to really wanting to

4:48

harness the energy of your

4:50

intuitive faculties. So imagine that

4:52

you have a friend for instance who

4:55

consistently and constantly dismisses your feelings, sweeps

4:57

them under the rug. You

4:59

might share a concern and they say

5:01

oh you're just imagining things. Or perhaps

5:03

a colleague undermines your instincts at work

5:05

saying things like that's not how things

5:07

work around here. And

5:09

these small seemingly harmless

5:11

comments can accumulate. They

5:14

can snowball within your heart, leading you

5:16

to question your own judgment and instincts.

5:19

And so how do we begin

5:21

to recognize intuitive gaslighting? So here are some

5:23

signs to look out for. Now I'm not

5:26

saying you go digging and create problems whether

5:28

or not problems because some people and let

5:30

let's just give people credit

5:32

and give people the benefit of the

5:34

doubt that again the key to manipulation

5:37

is intent. So someone might be saying

5:39

these kind of very meaningless

5:41

surface level throw away pieces

5:43

of communication

5:45

and they may not actually be

5:47

anchored into their awareness that it

5:49

has the possibility to corrode or

5:51

corrupt your perception of yourself. So

5:54

if this does happen then you can gently guide

5:56

them to say hey what I'm hearing

5:58

here is that you believe where

10:00

if you have this knowing in your heart and

10:02

in your gut, you have to trust

10:04

it. And we all

10:06

have different decision-making processes, right? We

10:08

all have different speeds and layers

10:11

of awareness that get us to

10:13

a point of making a decision.

10:15

Now, one of the biggest assets that

10:18

all of us can incorporate and encapsulate

10:20

into our awareness is our

10:22

intuitive faculty. Do not discount

10:25

it. And the way that

10:27

you develop intuition is almost like a muscle. The way

10:29

that you would building up a muscle at the gym

10:31

or, you

10:34

know, getting yourself a set of weights at

10:36

home, you actually have to break down the

10:38

muscle and use it for it to then

10:41

build back up again. And it takes that

10:43

trust that every time you show up for

10:45

a weightlifting session, so to speak, then

10:48

you will be able to

10:50

lift more, right? You can

10:52

increase the magnitude of the

10:55

information. So this

10:57

is how intuition works. It's exactly

10:59

the same. And the more you

11:02

trust it, the more it works for you

11:04

and the more you will notice an astounding

11:06

level of accuracy beginning to appear inside your

11:08

reality. And for some people, that can be

11:10

really confronting because they're like, well,

11:12

did I have access to this for my entire life? And

11:14

why is it setting in now? And this

11:16

is why so many of us go through

11:18

different levels and layers of spiritual awakening.

11:22

And so this is why it's so

11:24

important to protect yourself from intuitive gaslighting

11:27

when you are on this journey, because there's

11:29

this thing, especially at the beginning of your

11:31

journey, where you may have something

11:33

called a beginner's mindset and you can become

11:35

like a literal pain in the ass to

11:37

the people around you, because you just want

11:39

to express and share your wisdom

11:41

and your guidance. And they may not be

11:43

on the same page or up to speed

11:45

with that level of frequency. And

11:48

so you have to show compassion and you have to

11:50

read the room, so to speak. So

11:53

protecting yourself from intuitive gaslighting

11:56

while maintaining that humility

11:58

and self-awareness,
