Ep #031 | 3 Types of Intuition And How to Identify & Use Them in Your Life | Sonia Choquette

Summary

Host Vishen Lakhiani speaks with intuition teacher Sonia Choquette about recognizing intuition and using it to make decisions. Choquette presents intuition as a skill that can be easier to notice when people name their experiences and learn to distinguish three kinds: red, green, and white.

Key Ideas and Practices

Put Your Intuitive Experience Into Words

Choose a term that feels natural, such as “gut feeling,” “vibration,” or “premonition.” Choquette says naming the experience can make it easier to notice rather than dismiss.

Red Intuition: A Warning Signal

Red intuition is described as a survival-oriented “stop” feeling, often sensed in the stomach or as sudden physical unease.

Choquette recommends deciding in advance what to say or do when this feeling arises. For example, prepare a few phrases, such as “Stop, I have a bad feeling.” She suggests expressing the warning clearly rather than immediately seeking others’ approval.

Green Intuition: Creative Direction or a Sense of “Yes”

To enter a calmer, more receptive state:

1. Look around and name three things you can see.
2. Take slow breaths and keep your shoulders relaxed. Exhale as if blowing out candles. On a later breath, imagine “going down a slide” and notice the quiet at the end of the exhale.
3. Ask a genuine question, then answer out loud using a prompt such as, “My heart says…”

Choquette suggests repeating the exercise when seeking an idea or direction.

White Intuition: Connection With Your Spirit or Higher Self

Give your spirit a name to make it easier to relate to as a distinct inner voice. Then ask questions such as “What does my spirit love?”, “What does my spirit say?”, or “How is your spirit today?”

These questions can help you reflect on whether your choices feel meaningful and aligned with your authentic self.

Practice Noticing Intuition Regularly

The speakers emphasize that intuition may be overlooked when people are absorbed in thought or uncomfortable talking about it. They encourage making it part of everyday reflection and decision-making.
