Tapping into the Subconscious

Many people believe intuition is an innate gift—something you're either born with or not. While some may have a natural sensitivity to it, the beautiful truth is that intuition is a spiritual gift we can all cultivate and strengthen over time. Even if it feels faint right now, consistent practice, prayer, and openness can help it grow brighter.

It's important to distinguish intuition from the subconscious mind. The subconscious holds our programming: the beliefs, fears, patterns, and conditioning we've absorbed from life experiences, family, culture, or even generational lines—many of which can be false or limiting. These programs often run automatically, shaping how we see ourselves and the world, sometimes blocking our higher potential.

True intuition, however, is different. It is the still, small voice of divine guidance, a bridge to our higher, holier self and to God's truth. It transcends the subconscious programming, helping us discern what is real from what is false, reveal hidden lies we've believed about ourselves, and guide us toward alignment with light, love, and our divine nature. As we tap into intuition more deeply, we can debunk and release those subconscious falsehoods, stepping into freer, more authentic versions of ourselves.

Women often seem more naturally attuned to their feelings and inner promptings, but this awareness is available to everyone. I truly believe we are all capable of developing our spiritual gifts, including intuition, as we seek to align more closely with divine guidance and our higher selves.

When choosing essential oils for health concerns—physical, emotional, or spiritual—many feel overwhelmed by the options. People often seek a "perfect" recommendation that guarantees results. In reality, many oils share overlapping properties and can support similar needs. What truly makes the difference is your unique vibration, current emotional state, and stage of spiritual growth. The "right" oil for you is the one that resonates most deeply at this moment—often the one your intuition draws you to, even if it surprises your conscious mind.

True, lasting healing addresses the whole person: we rarely heal physically without also healing spiritually and emotionally at the root level. Essential oils offer powerful clues about what needs attention beneath the surface—subconscious beliefs, unresolved emotions, or patterns ready for release. When we select oils intuitively (rather than just intellectually or from programmed fears), they help facilitate permanent change from the inside out. Intuition illuminates the truth behind the symptoms, helping us release false beliefs and invite in holy truths. As spiritual and emotional layers heal, the physical body often follows naturally.

Here are gentle, practical ways to develop and trust your intuition when selecting and working with essential oils—while learning to discern it from subconscious programming:

1. Begin with Reference Guides and Notice What Draws You  

Start simply: Look up your concern or ailment in a trusted reference guide like Using Gifts of the Earth with Faith. As you read the suggested oils, pay attention to what "sticks out" or feels intriguing—even if it's subtle.  

Then, explore the emotional or spiritual characteristics of those oils. Does something resonate with a deeper truth? Does it connect to a feeling, memory, or belief you're carrying? Pause and ask: Is this a gentle nudge from intuition (peaceful, expansive, aligned with light), or a pull from subconscious programming (fear-based, urgent, or tied to old wounds)? Trust the higher resonance—it's often intuition speaking truth over conditioned response.

2. Let Your Sense of Smell Guide You  

If you have a strong sense of smell, your body often knows before your mind does. Inhale different oils (from the bottle or a diffuser). Notice which ones feel "delicious," comforting, or compelling—like you could use a whole bucketful! That strong attraction is a clear sign your system is calling for it.  

Apply it in the way that feels most intuitive. Afterward, reflect on its emotional profile: What stands out? Does it align with something you're ready to release (a false belief) or embrace (a divine truth)? Your nose and heart are powerful allies here, especially when intuition overrides subconscious habits.

3. Use Tools Like the iTOVi Scanner for Energetic Feedback  

Devices like the iTOVi scanner use galvanic skin response (GSR) to send subtle electrical signatures of essential oils and supplements to your body, measuring your autonomic response. It provides a personalized report of what your energy field resonates with most strongly—often surprisingly accurate for emotional and spiritual support.  

Follow the recommendations, then dive deeper: Look up the emotional characteristics of the suggested oils. What feelings, thoughts, or beliefs do they highlight? Choose intentionally to release negatives (e.g., fear, unworthiness—often subconscious programs) and adopt positives (e.g., peace, strength—truths intuition affirms). This process builds confidence in discerning higher guidance from fears and temptations.

4. Incorporate Muscle Testing for Clarity  

If you've learned muscle testing (kinesiology), it can be a reliable way to ask your body directly. Hold or think of an oil or supplement while testing—your body often gives a clear "yes" or "no" through muscle strength.  

You can even explore generational patterns: Test if a negative emotion or belief may stem from ancestors, then select oils to help release inherited burdens. Again, cross-reference with emotional profiles: What stands out? Use intuition to confirm—is this a true "yes" from divine alignment, or a conditioned response? Release what no longer serves and affirm empowering truths.

5. Trust Your Heart Compass—The Highest Form of Intuition  

At its deepest level, intuition is that quiet inner knowing—the "still small voice" or heart compass that aligns with divine light. As you quiet your mind (through prayer, meditation, or stillness), follow those gentle promptings to the right oils, blends, or practices.  

No tool is required here; it's pure connection beyond subconscious layers. Use the selected oils, explore their emotional/spiritual meanings, and notice what resonates as truth. Release limiting emotions, thoughts, or beliefs (debunking false programming); invite in light-filled ones. Over time, you may even intuitively sense generational origins of patterns, allowing deeper healing and elevation to your higher, holier self.

Developing intuition is a loving, patient journey of refining discernment—learning to quiet the noise of subconscious programming so the clear voice of truth can shine through. Start small, celebrate every small insight, and give yourself grace—there's no rush. With practice and experience, you'll grow more confident, self-aware, and attuned to divine guidance. Your spiritual gifts are already within you, waiting to unfold as you release the false and embrace the holy.

You have everything you need to heal, grow, debunk old lies, and become the higher, more whole version of yourself God created you to be. Keep listening to that gentle, true voice inside—it will lead you home.
