Some people have asked me if there's a connection between exercise and intuition. The answer is yes, definitely.

Every time you exercise and move your body, you are that much closer to connecting to your intuition. Our bodies are intuitive receptors that contain enormous amounts of information for us to integrate into our daily lives. This information can appear in the form of a physical sensation, a gut sense or an instant knowing. The messages and
guidance we receive from our non-linear mind support us in living healthy, enriched and balanced lives.

When we exercise and move our bodies, we no longer stay stuck in our heads. Instead we allow the deep and meaningful connection to our entire physical being to exist . When we do this, we naturally connect to the inherent wisdom of our bodies.

When I go out for my daily walk, I receive dozens of inspired thoughts and ideas for my day. Very often solutions present themselves to matters I was preoccupied with and thinking about even days earlier. My walk has a beautiful way of clearing my mind and providing me with a sense of relaxation, inspiration and well-being.

Here are 5 reasons why exercise & movement connect you to your intuition:

1. To use your intuition, you need to be connected to your body. Exercise heightens your awareness to your physical nature and the life force within you that animates your body.

2. Being physical means being in your body, grounded and connected to the physical world. When you're engaged in physical activity, you're less likely to be stuck in your head mulling things over from the day, looking for solutions to your problems. As soon as you engage in movement and activity, mental chatter lessens, thus making room for wisdom and inspiration from within to flow.

3. Exercise increases energy levels, mental acuity and also reduces stress levels. All these benefits create a favorable environment for intuition to communicate to us. The intuitive voice is subtle and requires attentiveness, awareness and groundedness.

4. Exercise improves your mood and promotes relaxation. This creates a fertile space for intuition to come through and be heard. We can hear our intuition most when we are relaxed and undisturbed, especially by emotions such as fear or anxiety.

One more crucial point worth noting about exercise and intuition is that exercise boosts self-esteem. Listening to, trusting and then acting upon your intuition requires self-esteem and courage. By developing your self-esteem,
you will develop your ability to trust and successfully act upon your intuition.

The next time you are exercising or moving your body, notice how you are feeling. You might even find yourself arriving at a solution to a problem you had since given up on. And know that we are all able to access these moments of inspiration and clarity.
