How to Use Empathy to Develop your Intuition

You can develop your intuition by becoming more empathetic in your daily life. 

Empathy is being able to put yourself in someone else’s shoes. But this traditional definition fails to capture the full power behind this skill. 

The truth is that empathy and intuition are closely related, and you can’t develop your intuition without also developing the depth of your empathy. Empathy is knowing the world from another person’s perspective, and intuition is being able to know the world from the perspective of different energetic view points. It’s essentially the same dynamic. 

If you’re like most people, you’ve caught glimpses of this “knowing” …where it seems you’re in tune with what’s going to happen next, or whether there’s danger nearby. Most people call this premonition or intuition, but this is no different from being completely in tune with another person, where you can almost feel exactly what they’re feeling. 

3 easy steps to develop your intuition via greater empathy: 

Step 1: Listen more. 

Intuition is about being able to listen to the energetic messages that are happening all the time, all around us. Your body, purely from a biological perspective, is constantly processing information that can help us and keep us out of danger. Intuition is the ability to tap into that knowledge consciously, and that only happens if you know how to listen.

So listen more. Listen to the people around you, to your friends, family, and coworkers. Listen to your body, to the weather, to the traffic. Listen to the rhythms of crowds, listen to the river of sounds coming from a daily commute to work.

Eventually you’ll hear more than you thought was possible.

Step 2: Challenge your assumptions. 

Deeply knowing another person’s dreams and fears will usually shake our own assumptions of what is right and wrong (there’s no such thing, really), and will expand your ability to see yourself objectively. 

Everytime you feel yourself be certain about something or someone, poke that assumption with the possibility that you could be wrong. This will leave the door open to seeing a greater chunk of truth, but from another person’s perspective. 

Step 3: Prioritize healthy interpersonal connections.

Healthy interpersonal connections lead to a deeper understanding of the energy dynamics of time and space. The practical way to apply this is to become very much in tune with a loved one close to you. They could be a friend, family member, or partner. 

A lot of psychic phenomena happens among close friends or family members (accidentally), and it’s because the same dynamics that govern how we are able to perceive how someone is feeling, are the same dynamics that govern how probable time paths collapse into the reality we’re currently experiencing. 

If you already have someone you’re very close to, I encourage you to simply play “psychic” games with each other, and just test yourself periodically with easy games. My favorite is Same Word, also known as “Say the same thing” (Here’s a link that explains it). 

Empathy and Intuition: two sides of the same coin

It’s very hard to grow your precognition abilities without also becoming more empathetic to the world around you. It’s like working to become a master at ping pong, and noticing your hand-eye coordination is very good outside of table tennis. 

Take good care, and show some kindness to those around you.
