Probably the number one question I’m asked as an intuition educator is: How do I know if it’s my fear or my intuition speaking?
The truth I want you to hear, not just with your mind, but with your whole being, is that fear is intuition.
When fear arises, those subconscious programs, shadows, or limiting beliefs, it’s not a sign you’ve failed. It’s your intuition as fear, tapping you on the shoulder saying, “Hey, you’ve forgotten your divine nature. Let’s bring you home.”
Your subconscious fear has good intel. It reveals where there’s a gap between your inner authority and the way you’re showing up in the world. Fear isn’t punishment. It’s information.
When fear seems to come out of nowhere, panic rises in your body even when nothing external is wrong, it’s a call to remembrance. It’s your intuition reminding you that you’ve drifted from your infinite truth.
Instead of asking, “Is this fear or intuition?”, what if we embraced both?
That discomfort is your inner compass saying: come back to alignment. It’s guiding you to a higher, truer way of being.
The Difference Between Fear and Danger
Let’s be clear: there’s a difference between physiological fear and psychological fear.
Physiological fear, like jumping out of the way of a speeding car, is a survival response. It floods the body with adrenaline and cortisol to get you to safety.
Psychological or subconscious fear, however, is what arises when we step into expansion, launching a business, creating something new, or sharing our truth.
That collapse you feel before you hit “publish”? That’s not failure. That’s your subconscious fear program surfacing because you’re ready to release it. It’s intuition showing you what’s still incongruent with who you’re becoming.
The Key to Meeting Fear
You can’t meet fear with intellect alone. You need nervous system safety.
Without it, “sit with your fear” becomes another impossible instruction. So before we decode fear, we must cultivate the ability to hold it without numbing, running, or distracting ourselves.
Creating nervous system fitness isn’t complicated. It begins with what I call the Four S’s:
- Stillness: Give yourself permission to stop. Let your energy settle.
- Silence: Withdraw from the noise, the scroll, the external distractions.
- Solitude: Be intentionally alone, not lonely. Sit in your own energy.
- Slowness: Move through the world unrushed. Bring a calm frequency to all that you do.
Even 5-10 minutes of these qualities a day retrains your nervous system to feel safe in the discomfort that arises as old fear surfaces to be released.
What if there was no problem?
What if your body already knows how to release fear when you give it the right conditions?
This is intuitive intelligence; remembering that fear and intuition are one, working together to guide you home.
So next time fear whispers, or roars, pause. Listen. There’s wisdom there.
Fear is not your enemy. Fear is your intuition in disguise.
