Quick Answer: Your intuitive abilities usually don’t disappear. They can become blocked, muted, or turned down because of fear, trauma, major life changes, medication, your environment, or self-protection. Intuition works in layers, and when you are ready, you can begin gently re-exploring your intuitive abilities through Reiki, energy hygiene, intuitive practice, and learning to trust the small nudges you receive.
Have you ever felt intuitive—and then it suddenly felt like it left you?
Maybe you were intuitive during childhood and it faded in high school.
Or maybe it showed up later in life and then went quiet.
This happens more often than people realize.
Most of the time, intuitive abilities don’t disappear—they get blocked because of fear.
And the truth is, there is nothing you cannot handle.
Intuition works in layers.
A layer reveals itself, and if it feels like too much at the time, you may shut down as a way to cope.
It’s usually better to reduce your sensitivity than to turn it off completely.
When intuition is shut down from fear, it can take longer to reactivate than if it’s simply turned down for a while.
I created a meditation called The Psychic Dial to help you gauge and adjust your intuitive abilities safely.
Even by listening to my videos, you are already opening and activating your intuition.
What Was Happening When Your Intuition Changed?
We don’t live in a world that cultivates natural instincts anymore.
And yet science acknowledges natural senses like proprioception—and many people recognize the experience of somehow feeling that someone is staring at them.
It’s worth asking:
What if other intuitive abilities had been encouraged early on, maybe even in primary school?
You might want to gently reflect on a few things:
Why did you shut this down?
When was the last time you noticed your intuition working clearly?
What was happening in your life after that?
Did you get sick?
Was there an accident or a death?
A dysfunctional relationship?
A career change?
A shift in diet or daily habits?
More time around electronics than nature?
Different people in your life?
Exposure to low-frequency environments, drugs, or alcohol?
All of these things can cause you to armor up so you can navigate lower-frequency people, situations, careers, and scenarios.
That armor is protective—but it can also make you feel “less” than you once did.
Your ability to feel deeply may feel muted.
Trauma Can Affect Intuitive Sensitivity
Trauma can actually activate intuitive gifts as a safety mechanism.
But when that system runs on overdrive, it can show up later as anxiety in adulthood.
Antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications can also mute intuitive abilities.
I do not advise quitting medications. This is education, not medical advice.
You can still channel Reiki at all times, no matter what medications you are taking.
Are You Afraid of Your Power?
If your intuition feels difficult to access, you may also be afraid of your power.
Explore it in baby steps.
If there’s a small nudge in the back of your mind, notice it.
Don’t immediately dismiss it.
Pay attention to those moments when you know something, feel something, sense something, or receive information before you have a logical explanation for it.
Explore it safely—through something like one of my classes or a remote healing session.
Start Gently
I love oracle cards.
I don’t use Tarot as much because some cards can feel scary if you don’t know how to read them properly.
You can begin gently with oracle cards, remote healing, or practicing an energy hygiene regimen daily.
Check out my Energy Hygiene meditation if you haven’t already.
You don’t need to force your intuition open.
You can begin by simply noticing again.
Your Intuitive Abilities Aren’t Broken
No matter what path you choose, know that:
Your intuitive abilities aren’t broken. They are just stalled for a period out of some kind of self-protection.
I encourage you to move forward and re-explore your intuitive potential with Reiki and energy hygiene.
Notice the small nudges.
Clean your energy.
Practice.
Trust what you receive.
And allow yourself to feel again.
You and our world truly need an intuitive you.
Ready to Re-Explore Your Intuition?
If you feel like your intuitive abilities have become muted or difficult to access, you do not have to force them back open.
Begin gently.
Explore The Psychic Dial Meditation, strengthen your daily Energy Hygiene practice, join one of my Psychic Development classes, or experience a Remote Healing Session with me.
Sometimes the first step is simply deciding that you are ready to listen again.
