Unlocking Your Intuition: Psychic Medium Marianne DeMarco on How to Trust Your Inner Knowing
Introduction
Have you ever had a gut feeling that turned out to be right? Or a sudden instinctive pull toward a decision that seemed irrational but ended up being exactly what you needed? Intuition is something we all have, yet many of us struggle to trust it. According to renowned psychic medium and best-selling author Marianne DeMarco, learning to trust your intuition is not only possible—it’s essential.
On Heal Squad with Maria Menounos, DeMarco shares powerful insights on how to strengthen your inner knowing, recognize spiritual guidance, and apply intuition to everyday life. Whether you’re just beginning to explore your intuitive abilities or looking for ways to refine them, this conversation is packed with wisdom that can transform the way you navigate life.
The First Step: Believing in Your Ability to Connect
“The first part of this is that you must believe that you are capable of connecting,” says DeMarco. This step is often the hardest, as intuition isn’t always tangible. Trusting that a higher power is working through you is the foundation of honing this skill. Once you develop that belief, the fog of overthinking begins to lift, and you can start distinguishing between loud mental chatter and authentic intuition.
Understanding the Difference: Is It My Mind or My Intuition?
One of the most common struggles people have is deciphering whether a thought is coming from intuition or their own imagination. DeMarco explains that intuition often feels calm and certain, even if the message itself is unexpected. “It could still feel forceful in nature, but it’s that deep inner knowing,” she says. On the other hand, thoughts that are anxiety-driven tend to feel chaotic, loud, and uncertain.
Strengthening Your Intuition Through Practice
Trusting your inner knowing requires practice. If you’re just starting out, DeMarco suggests incorporating small, daily exercises to build confidence in your intuition:
- Ask for signs – Request guidance from the universe or your spiritual guides and trust what you receive without second-guessing.
- Stay in the present moment – Being present allows you to recognize intuitive nudges more easily.
- Practice discernment – Notice how your body reacts when you receive an intuitive hit. Does it feel peaceful? Does it feel forced?
- Act on your intuition – The more you acknowledge and act upon intuitive insights, the stronger they become.
How to Interpret Spiritual Signs
A major takeaway from the conversation is that spiritual messages don’t always come in a straightforward manner. Maria shares a personal experience where she asked for a sign about her mother’s health and saw a beheaded white pigeon. Initially distressed, she interpreted it as a negative omen. However, a friend suggested an alternate meaning: that whatever was affecting her mother’s head (a tumor) could be removed.
DeMarco emphasizes the importance of focusing on the most empowering interpretation. “Our thoughts are powerful. The vibration we put out is like a boomerang. The universe isn’t trying to scare us—it’s guiding us,” she says. By consciously choosing positive interpretations, you create an energetic shift that aligns you with the best possible outcomes.
Tuning Into Angelic and Spiritual Guidance
Another fascinating insight from the conversation is the role of spiritual guides and angels. Many people hesitate to engage with their guides because they aren’t sure whom to ask for help or how to do it.
DeMarco clarifies that there’s no wrong way to communicate with spiritual beings. “Talk to them just like you would anyone else. Be yourself, because that’s who they know best,” she advises. Whether you address God, angels, saints, or departed loved ones, what matters most is your openness to receiving guidance.
Manifestation and Timing: Trusting the Process
A key challenge in spiritual work is trusting the timing of the universe. Many of us expect instant results and get discouraged when things don’t unfold as planned. “The universe knows the perfect timing for us,” DeMarco says. Rather than forcing outcomes, she recommends shifting to an energy of surrender:
- Express gratitude even when things don’t go as expected.
- Avoid chasing results—trust that what’s meant for you will come.
- Keep your vibration high by focusing on progress rather than delays.
Raising Your Vibration: Daily Practices to Strengthen Intuition
To maintain a strong connection with your intuition, consistency is key. DeMarco suggests incorporating simple daily rituals to raise your energetic frequency:
- Express gratitude – A gratitude practice shifts your focus to abundance rather than lack.
- Meditate or engage in conscious breathwork – Quieting the mind creates space for intuitive messages to come through.
- Use affirmations – Repeating statements like “I am worthy of receiving guidance” reinforces your belief in your abilities.
- Surround yourself with high-vibrational energy – Listen to uplifting music, spend time in nature, and engage in activities that bring you joy.
Final Thoughts
The ability to trust your intuition is not reserved for psychics or spiritual gurus—it’s an innate gift we all possess. By building belief, practicing discernment, and staying open to divine guidance, you can develop a powerful relationship with your inner knowing.
