There is something so critical to understanding how we create deep and robust intuition within us, and yet, it remains the most overlooked element of intuitive development. It’s not another meditation technique or dietary regime. It’s not even the nervous system regulation I speak so passionately about. That will come. But today, I want to talk about what I believe is the real missing piece in the puzzle of intuition: spiritual self-esteem.
Intuition often feels random. Sometimes it’s crystal clear. Other times, when we need it most, in the chaos, the stress, the fear, it vanishes. Why does this happen?
The body is a vital part of the technology of intuition and of course, nervous system work matters. However, intuition doesn’t flow through us just because we meditate or eat well. It becomes a consistent, embodied experience only when we change our minds about who we are. That is spiritual fierceness.
It is the willingness to remember, right down to our cells, that we are infinite and unlimited consciousness. That we are not separate from the God mind. That we are one with all life.
And if we hold beliefs that say otherwise, “I’m not good enough,” “I’m too old,” “I’ll never get it right”, then we are creating static in the channel. We are blocking our own intuition. It’s not a punishment. It’s physics. You cannot stay small and simultaneously access the unlimited.
This is why spiritual self-esteem is non-negotiable.
If we continue to entertain cruel thoughts about myself, if we refuse to confront the fear-based programs that live in my subconscious, we are not just holding ourselves back emotionally or mentally. We are breaking the first immutable law of the cosmos: the Law of Mentalism. All is one. There is no separation between you and the Divine, and your intuition is your proof of that.
The problem lies in the fact that it is so much easier to light a candle or follow a checklist than it is to sit with the discomfort of your own self-rejection. That’s why this part of the work is often avoided, yet, it is the only way.
If we are not willing to look at the ways we belittle ourselves, we cannot grow our intuitive intelligence. Full stop. Your intuition will remain hit-and-miss until you meet your fear, your shame, your pain, and say: I’m listening.
Start small. What’s the belief you’re carrying today? Your fear is not the enemy. It’s the arrow. It’s pointing you toward the gap between the life you say you want and where you are now. Follow it. Sit with the discomfort. Let your body speak. It knows how to release what it’s been holding.
No amount of spiritual bypassing will do this work for you. Shadow work is what allows the intuition to rise. Spiritual self-esteem is what sustains it. When your intuitive knowing guides you to take a step that no one else understands or approves of, and you feel the pressure to collapse back into old people-pleasing patterns, it is your spiritual self-worth that will hold you steady.
This is the work that leads to true freedom. This is where the joy, the power, the clarity lives. This is what it means to live in ongoing communion with infinite, unlimited consciousness.
If you’re ready to walk that path, to move from intuition as an occasional whisper to a state of intuitive intelligence, I invite you to join me in the Spiritually Fierce program. For the first time in seven years, I’m offering this program live and fully guided. It’s immersive. It’s experiential. It will show you how to make this connection permanent by doing the one thing most people skip: building unshakable spiritual self-esteem.
The doors open in January 2026.
We begin where all intuition begins: with the truth of who you really are.
With love,
Dr Ricci-Jane Adams
