The #1 Mistake People Make When Trying to Heal Themselves (And How to Fix It Using Intuition)

Have you found yourself trying every healing technique out there, meditations, affirmations, energy work yet still feeling stuck?

You’re not alone.

Many people face frustration on their healing journey when progress seems slow or nonexistent. The reason? They’re making one critical mistake: ignoring or distrusting their intuition. Your intuition is the most powerful healing tool you have, yet most people overlook it in favor of external solutions.

In this post, we’ll explore why intuition is essential to healing and how to harness it for true transformation. I’m Shirin Hunt - The Reset Queen, an intuitive teacher and healer with over 30 years of experience in intuitive healing and certified as a Theta Healing instructor.

The Most Common Healing Mistake

The biggest mistake people make when trying to heal is looking for answers outside of themselves while dismissing their inner knowing. It’s easy to get caught up in seeking guidance from books, coaches, and healers, believing they hold the secret to our healing. While external support is valuable, it should never replace our intuitive wisdom.

Have you ever felt a gut instinct about what your body or emotions needed but doubted yourself and sought validation from others instead? When we ignore our intuition, we disconnect from the very source of our healing power.

Why Intuition Is the Missing Key to Deep Healing

Intuition is the bridge between the conscious mind and the deeper wisdom of our body and spirit. Your body sends signals, sensations, emotions, and inner nudges that guide you toward what is needed for healing. When you listen, you gain insight into the root causes of your struggles and the exact steps to take for healing.

Intuition is not just a feeling—it’s a powerful tool that can accelerate healing when properly understood and trusted. As a certified Theta Healing instructor, I teach intuitive healing, which allows us to shift subconscious beliefs and unlock deeper healing potential. 

Studies in neuroscience suggest that intuition is a real cognitive function that allows us to process information beyond logical reasoning. In spiritual traditions, intuition is seen as divine guidance leading us toward alignment and wholeness. The problem arises when we doubt these messages, delaying or even blocking our healing.

How to Strengthen and Trust Your Intuition for Healing

If you’ve been ignoring your inner wisdom, don’t worry—your intuition is always available to you. Here’s how to reconnect with it:

1. Create Stillness:  Healing requires a quiet mind. Practices like meditation, breathwork, and time in nature help tune out external noise so you can hear your inner voice more clearly.

2. Ask Your Body for Guidance: Your body holds immense wisdom. Try a body scan: Close your eyes, take deep breaths, and notice any sensations or areas of tension. Ask yourself, “What do I need right now?” The answer might come as a thought, image, or feeling.

3. Recognize Signs & Synchronicities: The universe communicates through signs. Have you ever seen repeating numbers, had a song play at just the right moment, or felt a deep knowing about something? These are intuitive nudges guiding you toward healing.

4. Trust the First Feeling: Your first instinct is usually right. When making decisions about your health, emotions, or life path, notice the very first reaction in your body. Does it feel expansive or restrictive? Light or heavy? This is your intuition speaking.

Real-Life Success Stories

I once worked with a client who struggled with chronic fatigue. She had seen multiple doctors and tried countless treatments, yet nothing worked. When she finally turned inward and listened to her body, she realized she was emotionally drained from an unfulfilling job. The moment she trusted this insight and made changes, her energy levels improved dramatically. Her body had been telling her all along—she just needed to listen.

By using Theta Healing techniques, I have helped clients break free from deep-seated emotional and energetic blocks, leading to profound healing and personal breakthroughs, and I have witnessed countless transformations in my work.

Healing is an inside job. While external resources can provide guidance, your intuition holds the deepest truth about what you need. The more you practice listening to and trusting yourself, the more aligned and effective your healing journey will be.
