Keeping In Touch With Your Intuition: Mary Buckingham On How To Get In Touch With Your Intuition And When To Trust Your Intuition When Making Decisions
Develop a practice of self-awareness to become aware of what energy you are emitting in this realm that we are all cohabitating within
Intuition is defined as the ability to understand something immediately without the need for conscious reasoning. Where does intuition come from? Can it be trusted? How can someone tune in to their intuition? To address these questions, we are talking to business leaders, coaches, mental health experts, authors, and anyone who is an authority on “How to Get In Touch With Your Intuition And When To Trust Your Intuition When Making Decisions.” As a part of this series, I had the pleasure of interviewing Mary Buckingham.
Mary uses her intuitive gifts to help individuals connect with their intuition, activate their advanced abilities, and connect with their unique energetic signature (Soul). She receives information nonverbally (through telepathy), and uses holographic vision to view an individual’s human energy field (aura). There are many other forms of extrasensory perception she connects in with. This depends entirely on the Soul she is interacting with.
Thank you so much for doing this with us! Before we start, our readers would love to “get to know you” a bit better. Can you tell us a bit about your childhood backstory?
Thank you for having me! I’ve always been connected to the “other side”. However, as with the nature of this dimensional reality, the connection has had various expressions through the course of my life. I was a very artistic and imaginative child, referencing imaginary friends a very young age. Because extrasensory perception has not been a common or widely accepted phenomenon throughout society, I really tried to live life like everyone else when I realized being super perceptive was “less of the norm”. Ultimately, I learned that resisting my Soul gifts was what was creating a lot of suffering. Intuition is something we all have and our body is constantly sending us messages as it is our physical system carrying our Source essence. Our intuition and intuitive abilities are essential to honor, as it is what guides us to liberate ourselves from suffering all forms of suffering. It comes down to releasing egoic control and fear! We must release the resistance to trusting a faculty that operates in a nonlinear way.
Can you please give us your favorite “Life Lesson Quote”? Can you share how that was relevant to you in your life?
You are your own ultimate authority. What I consistently experience through working with the spiritual realm is that our intuition is the most intelligent resource within us. Our intuition is an advanced form of technology that supersedes anything that is taught or read. When we learn how to work with our physical vessel, in the way that prioritizes our Soul technology, individuals are liberated from endless forms of entrapments and suffering.
Is there a particular book, podcast, or film that made a significant impact on you? Can you share a story or explain why it resonated with you so much?
My own life experience and the more significant relationships I’ve had have been my greatest teachers. Everything I have tapped into or come to understand about the spiritual realm is from direct experience. Because the nature of our earthly realm is dualistic, everything becomes a mirror of something going on within oneself. My significant relationships have all been massive catalysts that have allowed me to turn deeper inward and acknowledge more of my seen and unseen parts. I recommend everyone to take inventory of all of their relationships as they are all reflections of something occurring within ourselves.
Let’s now shift to the main part of our discussion. Let’s begin with a definition of terms so that each of us and our readers are on the same page. What exactly does intuition mean? Can you explain?
Intuition is a form of spiritual awareness that transcends mental faculties. It is an inner wisdom that works on a different time space continuum and is thus received at a different pace and with a different frequency that conscious thought or analytical processes.
How would you define common sense? Are intuition and common sense related?
Common sense comes from the database of knowledge, collected within, from day to day experiences. Knowing what to do and what not to do based on what you learned from direct experience in the earthly realm. Intuition is more spiritually derived where the origin of intel can come from various realms outside of this earthly realm.
How are they different from each other?
Common sense is wisdom gathered from the earthly realm while intuition is downloaded from one’s higher self and the spiritual realms.
What are the positive aspects of being in touch with your intuition? Can you give a story or example to explain what you mean?
Intuition is a direct experience. Direct experience overrides what the mind can conjure because it is an experience that you are immersed in, like a tea bag being submerged into water. I am guided by my intuition, each day, each moment. There are people, places and things that my intuition either guides me toward or away from. I do not need to understand why, as I have learned that the more I trust what it tells me, the more in flow I am with the Universal current. The way this happens for me is I will receive information through all of my clairs that will either compound to a resounding ‘yes’ or a resounding no. A ‘yes’ feels positive, expansive and immediate whereas a ‘no’ feels like it tilts my head toward the ground with the an etheric hoodie going over my head.
Are there negative aspects to being guided by intuition? Can you give a story or example to explain what you mean?
It is impossible to have a negative intuitive experience because it’s origin is from the highest source of wisdom. Outside of this construct, nothing is negative. We are here as Souls to evolve through our experience of all things. All things are happening for us.
Can you give some guidance about when one should make a decision based on their intuition and when one should use other methods to come to a decision?
I believe the intuition is what is the inner technology that should be leading all of our lives. We as a species have become overly identified with the material plane, thereby losing connection to our true essence. We used to be 90% spiritual and 10% physical. That percentage has been reversed. We are moving our way back to being more spiritually evolved and that is done by surrendering to our intuitive intelligence.
From your experience or perspective, what are some of the common barriers that hold someone back from trusting their intuition?
The main one I see is a lack of trust. This is a lack of faith, which is actually fear. We have been conditioned to go outside of ourselves to make decisions. We have been conditioned to outsource our intuition. We need more leaders who are connected to their true essence because when you really are, you would never tread on that of another. I believe in spiritual sovereignty, Soul expression and freedom because energetically and scientifically, you become more harmonious. The more of us that are operating coherently and harmoniously will only positively impact the environment by adding a higher vibration, versus a state that is dependent on outside energy which is actually parasitic.
What are five methods that someone can use to become more in touch with their intuition?
1 . Rewire any negative beliefs around fear, unworthiness
2 . Do your shadow work and heal any trauma imprints
3 . Develop a practice of self-awareness to become aware of what energy you are emitting in this realm that we are all cohabitating within
4 . Develop a practice of devotion, which means time devoted to inward focus, to strengthen the inner muscle of intuition
5 . Begin to speak your truth and have boundaries, whether it is with yourself and your thoughts or with the people around you
You are a person of significant influence. If you could inspire a movement that would bring the most amount of good to the most amount of people, what would that be?
It would be a movement to promote that everything everyone will ever need is in the silent reservoir within. There are already a lot of people, collectively intending to devote to their own highest good because that is the foundation point for us all to heal as one. We are microcosms of the macrocosm. We are essence floating in a sea of light. The more we can adjust ourselves to direct experience this, the more we can help humanity.
Is there a person in the world whom you would love to have lunch with, and why? Maybe we can tag them and see what happens!
This is not an easy question! I would love to have a round table discussion of all the great creative, spiritual minds from all walks of life, all spans of time, from various Universes even outside of our own. Tag them all!
How can our readers further follow your work online?
My website is marybuckingham.com — this is where you will find my 10 week experience where I teach you how to connect with your intuitive channel, to activate your advanced abilities and even access the quantum library. You can also book a session with me where you will receive a Soul session. Every session is different, just as each Soul has its own energetic signature. That is the part of you that I connect with nonverbally.
Thank you so much for sharing these important insights. We wish you continued success and good health!
