 All right today. I'm really excited to be talking with Denise Litchfield and we're gonna talk about intuition So have you ever wondered? Is it my mind talking or is it something beyond the mind something some kind of spiritual guidance that we're getting? So that's what we're gonna talk about today And Denise Litchfield is really qualified to talk about this because this is what she works on Let me share with you her bio and then I'm gonna bring her on So Denise Litchfield is an irreverent psychic and medium who's allergic to the new age fluff and Regularly talks to dead people one of the things I love about Denise is her humor Her sassiness and you're gonna really I think enjoy this conversation. I'm having with her so she What she does is she does psychic readings for people and also teaches people how they develop more of their intuition and their psychic abilities So that people can really get the answers that they want Without we're what it says here without wearing weird clothes or stinking of patchouli So Denise, thank you so much for being here. I'm really looking forward to this conversation. I Am too. Thank you so much for having me George. It's gonna be fun. I just know it is yeah, absolutely so Intuition this is something that a lot of us Know is obviously it's important because There is a power within us beyond us, however you want to say that if we Allow it to guide our life We are much more on track and on purpose, but a lot of times, you know, this is my question, too It's like well, how do I know it's just my monkey mind saying something to me or a past thought or something like that So, how do we how do we start to think about this? Well, actually you and about a million other people have the same dilemma Because we're human, you know, and our monkey mind does get in the way But but there is usually there's something that always runs through a good intuitive thought And it's actually, you know what what I am going to be talking about today is how to tell the difference Between them so that you're not constantly having that thought that you know in the middle of the night Goes round and round and round and you think It's a sign, you know, and and most of all it's actually not those ones aren't Wow, so that is interesting so then The one that go round around her head. I mean sometimes I think well gosh if it's repeating itself and then there must be something there But maybe it's actually opposite. It's actually the opposite. Okay. Yeah, it'll be it'll be the short Statement it will be just that little thought that goes Go down this street home today And it's very soft and for your light and you go. Oh, yeah And later on you find out that there's a two car panel up on the way you would have gone It will be the it will be the you know what just pick up some more Rice because you know you're at the supermarket and you find yourself grabbing some extra things and then you realize someone's popped in for dinner Unexpectedly it's the gentle little thoughts. That's one statement with a full stop at the end And that's how you tell the difference now. Why why is that? Why why is it? Like you said, why is it like a full statement with a full? Yeah, say more about that. Why is it? Well I'm not sure. I guess I guess when I you know get to spirit side and get my angels and wings and my harp I might know but what I imagine is that it's easiest to get through for us to take notice Because it's calm and it's gentle And it's a full stop and it's more like our own thought voice You know and I think this is where a lot of people get confused is that they expect the burning bush They expect, you know that the clouds depart and and the trumpets to Blair and you know This is god talking and you know They tried that in the bible didn't they you know on the road to Damascus and it freaked everybody out And I think if that's how god appears to us, we would be freaked out. I would be You know, so I think I think they've modified their strategy a bit and it's a lot more subtle than that Yeah, and I wonder also it's it's You know I I've always felt like You know practicing faith is is maybe part of our work here. It's like if we need a burning bush for every direction We we need to change. It's like Well, we might as well not be in this adventure of the human human life. It's like It's like it's like, you know The burning bush it's it almost overtakes our free will a lot because it's like what's The burning bush talking to me. It's like you can't really deny that Whereas with that with that subtle still small voice within us We have the choice to say yes or no and and learn to listen to it better. So so how do how do we learn to listen to it better? Well, I think you're right with a still small voice is we we don't actually get the opportunity to argue with it so much And maybe that's why it's quiet because we don't have that whole backwards and forwards in and out Maybe what if what if it's so quiet? It seems to slip underneath our Our rational arguing fear monkey mind and I think that's very clever, you know How do we learn to listen to it? I I think we learn to just act on it and and notice it more and Usually when I work with My students and people that come to me to to learn this It's by learning to be sensitive to everything You know to to still the mind a little bit through some kind of You know mindfulness practice if it's not meditation. It's walking or sitting quietly however you do that But it's it's quietening that monkey mind and then being aware of oh And noticing it and going oh, yeah that was I followed up on that and it worked And it's like a muscle, you know if you want a six pack you go to the gym So if you want a psychic six pack You gotta kind of act on it That's nice. That's nice. I think we all of course I think everyone watching this have had those thoughts and after watching this Um, I think we'll be more aware of it for the rest of today tomorrow. Hopefully longer than that now It's interesting. You said, you know, we we we learn by acting on it and seeing that it works Okay, and you gave a couple actually I would love for you to give another example or two to Ground this idea. Yeah well, look It's funny right right now. I mean I did have some examples but right now as we speak I'm not sure what it's like in your part of the world But in australia everyone's freaking out about the coronavirus, right? You cannot buy a roll of toilet paper anywhere. Wow really don't ask me why it's toilet paper That's weird. Yeah Everyone's just panicked and that's the opposite of that You know um And for me I was I was just kind of pondering on this And I was thinking well, well, what what's my reaction? What am I going to do and I I'm just sat in the stillness And I thought you know what I'll wait for an answer to come And then sure enough by the love of facebook because I do believe facebook is an oracle of some kind, right? um There was this fantastic article by a gentleman that really just laid it out common sense and stopped the panic and I'm like Ah, yeah, and you know what when it's intuitive it feel there is this Ah to it, you know, you feel the the the whole intensity drop and and there is an expansion and a sense of Uh conformation it's almost like your soul goes. Thank goodness And I like that yeah, and when we act on it Uh, of course it can take courage Or some ingenuity Sometimes it's simple. Like you said, oh get some more rice or something like that simple It say it again. It is simple. It is simple. Okay. Yeah um, and How do we know it worked? I guess isn't my question Well, I I believe that we we send out those questions and those thoughts out to The universe, you know, and and whether it's our higher selves whether it's God whether it's I mean, I'm not actually concerned as to who I'm not really concerned about the messenger as much as the message You know, what is the quality of that message? Does it feel expanding and usually? I with my students I I always say they start you off on trainer wheels They start you off on little things to get you used to it like get more rice You know like take that other thing to kind of go. Oh, is she listening? Yeah. Okay. She's listening. All right Well, let's let's upgrade the message now and see if she gets that and then so as you progress You the the messages are also progress too to the degree that you're also willing to expand your Receptive field or like your psychic satellite dish to receive it I like that so there's a progression in in this learning and The key is for us to try it And just baby steps You're never going to get more than you Can handle or bargain a lot of people are scared. I think well, what if I open up and you know I see something I don't want to see or I can't turn it off or a lot of the stuff that maybe Is portrayed as psychic ability and in the media or in the movies Actually, it doesn't happen like that. It's very much a Slow we call it the slow cook method, you know, it's it's great and often You know, it doesn't happen fast enough because a lot of people are like come on. I want it. I want it and you know They're impatient like myself when I first started. So god, it's the opposite really. Oh, I love that. I love that. It's gentle um, so when I So, you know, sometimes I I think we've all experienced The red flag. Okay, like like You know, it could be like, oh, should I you know work with this person or should I Try on this project or should I? um, go to this event or whatever it is and there's There's a red flag like maybe we shouldn't but Maybe Traditionally or usually we would do it. So we just went ahead and did it and then of course it didn't work out Talk about that a little bit. Um, oh my goodness. Is that part of this? Yes, it's a part of it and you know, and we're human aren't we you know, and we will Doesn't mean just because we're intuitive. We are infallible and we never make a wrong move Uh, and I think that our mistakes are the greatest way we learn I'm constantly making those mistakes But it's more on the oh You know, like recently there was someone that wanted to work with me And it just felt glitchy like we just couldn't quite match up the messages or or or Or when the email was sent it didn't quite have enough in you know, and it was sort of sticky, you know Gravely and I always feel to me intuition when it's wrong. It feels gravely. Um, I can't really just you know, like There's not this smoothness and and I think there is a there's synchronicity involved and there's uh flow and and Yeah, those kind of things they're the green flags, but the red flags and I also think that sometimes our culture Currently especially in business. It's all about grab seas master dominate all those very Uh, you know masculine Actively yang kind of you know, this is how you're supposed to do business where we're working with intuition is the opposite It is very in and so we learn to sit back and relax and see how it flows It's the opposite. So we're gonna we're gonna get it wrong a few times as we learn to relax into this higher flow, I suppose Which is why I like your work, right? Because yeah, thank you. Yes um, so that's a that's an interesting question then I have about this because Is there as there's such a thing sometimes as a test Uh, or a challenge where you are meant to persist Uh, or or maybe not or maybe when it's right There is more of a flow throughout the process. What's your what's your opinion on that? And I I really like it's not intuitive, but I really like my favorite quote about that Is from Robert De Niro in the film Ronan Uh, and Ronan was the film basically about, you know, Japanese warrior the warrior class and the honor and the Philosophy that they live their lives by and Robert De Niro had this quote in the film and he said when there's doubt there is no doubt And that's something I repeat to myself and my partner a lot. It basically means if you have doubt about something then there's It's wrong it like back away. There is no doubt that you should be going forward And it's it's quite black and white, but I I do you know and when I have gone ahead, you know, and and then it's turned out to be Not so great. It's like I didn't listen When my ego wanted it my small self wanted it, you know, the I wanted the vanity metric or I wanted Something that wasn't what my soul wanted What about the Um So, you know, so one of the things of course I talk about a lot is for people to create content and to show up and all that So what about those times when we're like I don't feel like doing it I don't feel like showing up Um, how do we tell and this is back to the same question, right? How do we tell when it's our mind? Uh, our minds resistance or our patterns resistance is sort of like our natural way our natural habit has been to not do things. Let's say, um versus Versus the into it, you know, well, maybe sometimes the intuition is like Let's do it. Let's give it a try and the fear. It's like, so how do we tell between I guess fear and intuition? Yeah, you know what I'm saying. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Look fear will shut down intuition just like that fear will just smash it um Most of my students deal with fear before they turn it on and off It fears real. I mean and it keeps us safe and it's hardwired into us too And it's healthy But for me, I don't believe in blocks. I think this whole business about block removal is the biggest Way to coaches make money But don't even get me started on that You know embrace that block. I had it yesterday. Um I had to write some content And I was having a blah day and I sat Uh in a cafe and I I just wrote that I was having a blah day. I mean as you should turn up As you are and and as I was, you know typing into the you know I was feeling well I don't really feel like doing this and I'm writing anyway and then On the music in the cafe comes my favorite song higher love, you know that song bring me higher Wow, I'm not gonna sing it. I'm not gonna embarrass you. Um, and I was like, there we go. There's my moment, but It ended up being a piece of content But in the beginning I started out like going I don't wanna So does that does that kind of I think you just go up, you know, what's in all? Yeah, yeah, I I think that To me, there's a there's a difference between resistance and um The intuitive doubt in that like when I when I'm creating I know myself well enough that I never really feel like it It's like if I if I were to just follow a very honest about that patterns like I would never write a word I would never show up. I mean, I would never do anything like this or be on video or anything But showing up has been profoundly beneficial for me and and it's like once I'm in it um Yeah, it's like it's like the willingness to show up the intuition actually tells me Is it's like and speaking from the heart rather than you know, and I'm sure this is a learned skill And I understand visibility and all of those things but when you just show up and and come from here Yeah Can't go wrong Can't go wrong You know and and that post I think I got 10 reach on that and it wasn't my most It wasn't the most brilliant post by far But I turned up and just said hey, this is how I'm doing today Well, and by the way 10 reach on the facebook business page is actually better than the average so So yeah, keep going. Here's my blada, you know, yeah, that's not bad at all So any other um Let me actually think of another example where we could we could apply this. So Let's say we're Planning our day. Let's talk about that. Yeah How Where does intuition come into planning our day or or or to Following our schedule like like how's that how does that work? Um, what is Yeah, how do you use that? Well, I love I know and this is different for you. You're very structured and you're very organized and I really admire that because I'm the opposite I'm a total rebel And I really like to surf I'm aware of my energies now And I really know that when I'm on a creative role as a oh hop on that wave Create like a mad thing and I just certainly know for me around the full moon I get very you know, and I'll bash out four videos or I'll You know, write 10 blogs or I'll plan and then the dark of the moon is where you know, I've got my This is my content schedule here For the next six months and I'll just you know, so I'm very much of a slow and ebb person But the other part for intuition I think we do there is a Fine mix between having the discipline and knowing when we are just goofing off It's okay to goof off, but it's also okay to follow that that wrong I do have a little list here of how you can spot fake intuition if that helps I would love that. Yes, please do share and I just want to say real quick What you just said there about knowing your energy and the ebb and flow Is um, you know, I would I always tell people listen It's not the george cow way that I want everyone to do I want everyone to try first, you know, if you if you find it intriguing try the george cow way What I want everyone to do is to find a way that works for them to actually create To actually show up and Denise you are I hope everyone will look to your facebook page and your youtube channel and elsewhere Which will have the links to you show up And that's what I care about like you show up and that's what matters And so it's like if it works for you, we know your energy well enough. My goodness. That's great You know, so yes, please share that Isn't that the goal now if I can share? Oh, yes, I can just a second while I press It's all good. Oh, yeah, you can see that. Okay Yes, now we can see the rest. Yeah Well, this is it and if you want to screenshot this please do but these are really the Ways that you can spot fake and what I call fake intuition what I mean by It might be fear. It might be ego. It might be our deepest darkest patterns that might be our Blessed blocks, you know, whatever a human side Which is no less valuable by the way doesn't mean we're wrong. It just means we're human But but you know, it has high levels of emotion So for example, the you know, right now with this coronavirus everyone's, you know, oh my god What's I'm having intuitive download that I'm going to get the current. No, you're not, you know because If it's dramatic It ain't intuition. This is so Interesting because this really goes against the typical like I say, you know, like we said Hollywood version Of what spiritual guidance is. Oh, yeah Yeah, you do not want to be that woman with the big hair in the long nails stopping people in the street telling them They're gonna, you know, they're their uncles with them. You just don't want that It's not really good for us Us as a brand but and and other ideas like that if you get the intuitive hit But it reduces your power or it feels destabilizing like, you know, oh my god, someone's going to die or I'm going to break up with that person or my launch is going to flop Not intuitive An intuitive thing might be for your launch would be like like for me I forgot to put my Facebook ads on the other day They kind of turned themselves off and I oh a little voice just said hey check ads manager Yeah, there you go, you know, that's intuition not the oh my god stuff And and if it feels intense, you know, if there's like I said, if there's drama if there's intensity It's not from the soul. It's coming from our human side If it's loud repetitive not supportive, you know, you know, you all know this you've had you've either had it yourself Or you've heard someone else say it It doesn't feel good And if there's a lot of chat if there's a narrative if it just goes on and on and on and on On or you're arguing back and forth with it Or you're having a conversation. Yeah, it's like the monkey mind. It's a really Right monkey mind and and and also, you know, what I sense here is the inner critic It's like the inner critic Is is our own it sounds like us. Oh, yeah Mine sounds like my mom, but anyway, right. Yeah, you're right. Right. Yeah It could be it could sound like like an authority figure, right? Yeah, totally And you know with her I she's in the backseat, but she doesn't get to drive now But yeah, it took a while so yeah, but it does and it doesn't feel it doesn't make you feel Expanded and comfortable and reassured and powerful Any intuition, you know, uh, but what it does do is it does highlight A deeper fear or something else. It is a beautiful signpost for maybe a personal journey some journaling Some work around that, you know, be gent and I'm not saying it's wrong It just like hey, I need to be gentle with myself around this Let's investigate it, but it's not intuition Yeah So I hope that helps and as I said feel free to screenshot that very very interesting here is set on a certain outcome Okay. Yeah Yeah, I've met my twin flame. I've met this person. We're destined to be together Why haven't they called me? Yeah, yeah, or or yes, this launch will absolutely succeed, you know, this is gonna make a million dollars I'm gonna make a million dollars. Yeah, right, right. Yeah Yeah, yeah Yeah, that A psychic told me my launch is going to be worth a million dollars 6k. Yeah Nah So, um, yeah, there you go That's great. Um, and is there uh Is there a list for the what is you know, and and we've been talking about all throughout so yeah, yeah Right, is there a list? Yeah, it does actually I can show you this. This is the great. This is the comparison Here so If I was to put them side by side, we've talked about what it isn't Yes, right. This is beautiful that we can look at what it is, you know, it's neutral It feels every day small like your own thought for us Um Yeah, and um, I I am aware of the time and I wanted I wanted just to make sure that Those who are watching and and fascinated by this know how to do more Is this is this part of a slide of a part of the course that you have or yeah, okay. Yeah This is actually I'll stop sharing now because um This is actually a part of a little one hour mini course That you can do to tell the difference between Your imagination and intuition is called trust your intuition because that's what most people struggle with Um, and it's a skill set like that slide. I showed you so that you can learn the discernment And so it's not going to trip you up And and have those especially now in this current climate We don't want to have those things messing with us because fear is going to kill your intuition dead And we want you to be more connected to The truth to your own power And it's a very affordable course. It's 30 australian dollars 29. Yeah 29 australian dollars Which is whatever in the u.s.

Tell us about that Well, actually that's on now. Um while i'm enrolling right now But it goes for seven weeks and it's live calls where we go Every week we take an aspect like clairvoyance clair audience seeing hearing feeling and learning how to put it all together But it's very practical. So it's like having me in your corner for seven weeks in a small group Most of my students are introverts so um, they're used to just sort of being really quiet and nurtured along gently and um I only have it's only a small amount of people that I take each time because I want to give you individual attention So that's just like a connection package. That's run a couple of times a year Um, that's one way to work for me. That's very affordable too. Wonderful. Wonderful. Well, I'll be sure to have the link there Um, denise.
