 About This eBook

Why Did I Write This?

First of all, we are in a time when relying and following our intuition or inner

guide is almost essential for not being afraid. No matter what’s shifting and

tumbling down in our lives, it’s the only thing that will give us a direction, solve

our problems, and most of all, give us peace of mind going through it.

Secondly, a lot of us have been trying random intuition methods that haven’t

given us the results that others rave about. Then, we think something’s wrong

with us or we’re tempted to call it quits on the whole idea of tapping into our

intuition or inner guidance. Before giving up entirely, we could narrow down

our efforts—to ways that don’t require us to be something we’re not.

About Your Myers-Briggs Personality Type

Even though labels and categories can be restrictive and limiting, learning about

your Meyers-Briggs personality type can actually be liberating. It can help you

understand who you are and why you think, feel, and behave the way you do—

which can free you from judging yourself for not being like others.

You can use your personality type to take full advantage of your intuition or

inner guide. It will give you another option to explore that might clear your

intuitive path even more, and at the same time, give you lots of leeway for

individual variations.

This was written for those who mostly identify as an INFP personality type, even

though there are varying degrees for most of us. Some of the advice and

suggestions here might be spot on, while others might be way off. When in

doubt, you could use your intuition or inner guide to figure out what will work

for you.

Getting used to relying on your intuition or inner guide may be challenging, but

it will be the most rewarding thing you will ever do!

 INFP
The Nonconforming Dreamer

As you probably already know, INFPs are wired differently. They were born to

be intuitive people. In fact, they are one of the few personality types (INFJs being

another one of them) that naturally operate from their intuition or inner

guidance. When INFPs try to disconnect from their intuition or inner guidance,

their whole lives go out of whack.

By connecting—connecting more than ever before—with their intuition or inner

guidance, they can be who they really are.

 Some Key Traits of INFPs
There are probably a hundred characteristics of an INFP. Here are a few that

relate to intuition and inner guidance the most.

INFPs Tend to…

• Believe everything is connected and absolutely anything is possible.

• Move towards experiences that awaken and intensify feelings of

passion, inspiration, and deeper meaning.

• Be on a constant adventure of self-discovery.

• Love change and will do almost anything once.

• Be extremely creative and often use it to communicate inner feelings.

• Come alive when exploring.

• Be the most independent of all the personality types, cherishing

freedom and flexibility.

• Be empathic, spiritual, and delve into deeper, more mysterious

experiences.

 What is Intuition or Inner
Guidance?
Intuition or inner guidance is a general term for tapping into a higher source that

offers advice that can give you…

• A solution to any problem or difficulty you are facing.

• An answer to any question you could possibly have.

• An immediate understanding of something you didn’t have before—

a moment of clarity.

• Glimpses or snap-shots of what will happen in the future.

Other terms used to describe intuition or inner guidance are a knowing, a feeling,

an inner truth, or an inspiration. Or it could be described from the spiritual point

of view, such as God, Universe, Spirit, Source, or Divine.

Beyond the Basic Definition

Now that we are done with the basic definition of intuition or inner guidance,

let’s go deeper.

Intuition or inner guidance is a connection device.

This material is copyrighted by Vickie Champion

Prepared exclusively for fcolleenva@yahoo.com Transaction: 0104965512

It’s the source that connects the dots between seemingly separate things and

gives you a deeper meaning behind absolutely everything you see, hear, touch,

taste, smell, experience, or even think.

Intuition or inner guidance is always in the process of joining each and

everything imaginable until we are ONE.

 The Nonconforming Dreamer

Benefits of INFPs Using

Intuition or Inner Guidance
More Often
Even though INFPs tend to be really good at using their intuition or inner guide,

they still have areas in their lives where they could fine-tune it to help them even

more.

Here’s Some Benefits for INFPs to Use Their Intuition or

Inner Guide More Often…

This material is copyrighted by Vickie Champion

13

Prepared exclusively for fcolleenva@yahoo.com Transaction: 0104965512

1 To Have More Freedom &
Flexibility-
INFPs love the thought of not having others’ rules and timelines to follow.

Relying on your intuition or inner guide can help you free yourself of others’

restrictions.

Another Benefit for INFPs to Use Their Intuition or Inner Guide is…

2 To End Your Self-Doubt-

INFPs tend to doubt themselves, and I mean a lot. As an INFP, when you are

aware of your intuition or inner guidance, it seems like you go into an automatic

response of doubting and judging it so much you usually don’t implement it.

Maybe it’s because you interact with people who have the other 14 personality

types that are not so naturally intuitive. Maybe it’s thinking if you follow your

intuition or inner guidance, you will lose the independence you so dearly

cherish.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Relying on intuition or inner guidance is the only

method to really becoming your true self. It shows you the way.

Another Benefit for INFPs to Use Their Intuition or Inner Guide is…

3 To Avoid Being Disappointed-

INFPs dream constantly, always thinking about future possibilities for about

anything.

Having the ideal relationships is one of them. In fact, INFPs are one of the few

personality types that tend to look for amazing mind-blowing relationships such

as twin flames, or at the very least, soulmates.

To avoid being disappointed there are two completely different ways to

approach dreaming.

One Way-

One way is to dream about something or a relationship to fulfill your

imagined needs. That means expecting something to bring you something

you don’t currently have or someone to do things that please you.

You think you will feel better when that happens.

Then you get disappointed if your dreams don’t play out like you thought

they would. This type of dreaming can limit you to only feeling better if

you get what you want when you want it.

15

Prepared exclusively for fcolleenva@yahoo.com Transaction: 0104965512

An Intuitive Way-

This way of dreaming takes a lot of faith, is satisfying every step of the

way, and is unlimited. To get an idea of how unlimited this way is, think

of the best moment you’ve ever experienced, then multiply that by a

thousand, and a thousand more, and that will give you a glimpse of what

anything can be with infinite dreaming.

Here it is! This way is about letting go of trying to control what happens

and focusing on what kind of feeling you want with anything. This means

you almost forget about what anyone says or does, or about anything that

actually happens. Your focus is on dreaming about an amazing experience

full of deep connection, easiness, fun, love, appreciation, respect, kindness,

honesty, and most of all, letting everyone and everything have the

freedom to be who or what they really are.

This brings immediate satisfaction because it depends not on what

happens, but on how you want to feel, letting your intuition or inner

guidance fill in the events that will happen, and who will say and do what.

It gives everything more freedom and flexibility. And it gives you control

of something that is controllable—your feelings.

IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER: Where your adventure takes you and how many

ups, downs, twists, and turns you encounter along the way is not your concern.

Your only concern is whether you are going to make it an enjoyable experience

or a painful one.

Another Benefit for INFPs to Use Your Intuition or Inner Guide is…

4 To Help with Making

Decisions-
INFPs tend to have a hard time making decisions. The combination of the INFPs’

all or nothing attitude, their perfectionism, the need to have plenty of reflection

time, and the desire to engage in outside sources can make any choice

excruciating. There are a few things INFPs can do to make the process painless

without changing who they are.

This material is copyrighted by Vickie Champion

17

Prepared exclusively for fcolleenva@yahoo.com Transaction: 0104965512

Here’s How to Make Decisions
Easier…
1 TO ELIMINATE OPTIONS-

If you can’t pinpoint the one choice that feels right, let your intuition

or inner guidance tell you what options don’t feel right and

eliminate them. At least you’ll know what isn’t the perfect choice.

Another Way to Make Decisions Easier…

2 TO BE FLEXIBLE-
Make the choice temporary and open-ended in your mind, not

limited with harsh punishments if you don’t choose the perfect

solution.

GPS

Treat it like the GPS function on your phone. If you miss a turn, your

phone doesn’t yell at you, trying to make you feel like you have

done something wrong. It just gives you another turn immediately.

Intuition or inner guidance does the same thing. No matter how

This material is copyrighted by Vickie Champion

18

Prepared exclusively for fcolleenva@yahoo.com Transaction: 0104965512

 many turns you miss, there is still another way you can get to your

destination of being your true self. Only with your intuition or inner

guidance there are endless ways to get there—all leading to the

same place. Do you know what that means?

That means you can really never make a mistake with

permanent consequences!

Another Way to Make Decisions Easier…

3 TO WAIT-
When INFPs are relying on intuition or inner guidance, there are

times things don’t need to be decided immediately.

You Might Know…

• It’s not the right time to make a choice. Some pieces are

still missing, and you will get more information to make

the decision.

• It’s not your choice to make.

• The reason to make the choice will disappear.

This material is copyrighted by Vickie Champion

19

Prepared exclusively for fcolleenva@yahoo.com Transaction: 0104965512

But if, as an INFP you forget to use your intuition or inner guide,

you can easily fall into procrastinating, and become afraid to make a

choice.

Signs You are Afraid to Make a Choice

When You…

1 Make the Choice Serious-

You put pressure on yourself, thinking you’re in charge and

you have to get it right or it will be devastating.

Go back to the GPS analogy in the previous section. Your

intuition or inner guide knows your ultimate destination of

being your true self with any situation and is in charge of

directing you there. You may take hundreds of turns—some

bumpier, less scenic, and longer than others—but never to the

point where your intuition or inner guidance can’t direct you

out of it to have a wonderful outcome.

 Another Sign You are Afraid to Make a Choice is When You…

2 Want to Avoid Thinking About Making a

Choice-
If you find yourself making everything else a higher priority,

or feeling tight at the slightest mention of the subject, you are

probably afraid to make a choice.

You are likely afraid to make a choice if you ask yourself this

question and can fill in the backend of the sentence: “I’m

afraid if I make the wrong decision… (name something that

you think will happen).”

EXAMPLES:

“I’m afraid if I make the wrong decision … It will hurt my

children.”

“I’m afraid if I make the wrong decision … I won’t sell as

many paintings.”

 Another Sign You are Afraid to Make a Choice is when You…

3 Are Paralyzed-
INFPs tend to keep moving. So, if you aren’t moving and

exploring options for any length of time, you might be afraid

to make a choice.

To get out of being immobilized from fear, plan on making a

lot of decisions. One decision may work for only a day, then

make another, and another, and another.

Another Benefit for INFPs to Use Their Intuition or Inner Guide is…

5 To Break Distressful
Patterns-
As much as INFPs dislike rules and limitations, they can still find themselves

falling into predictable and painful patterns. Five of the more common painful

patterns are being obsessive, judging themselves, perfectionism, hating

negativity, and being depressed.

This material is copyrighted by Vickie Champion

22

Prepared exclusively for fcolleenva@yahoo.com Transaction: 0104965512

1 BEING OBSESSIVE -

INFPs tend to have an “all or nothing attitude.” As an INFP, when you are

interested in something, you jump in head first and hardly ever come up

for air. There is nothing wrong with that! In fact, that all-consuming

attitude and using your intuition or inner guide is what makes amazing

things happen in your life, such as deep meaningful relationships and

incredible creativity.

Numbing Yourself

But when INFPs take that same obsessive attitude to numb themselves

from feeling, or to hurt themselves or others, it turns into a painful pattern.

Your numbing device could be food, pills, alcohol, drugs, cigarettes,

caffeine, impulse buying, keeping crazy busy, texting, or hundreds of

other obsessions.

Numbing yourself from feeling is cutting off who you are! INFPs are here

on earth to feel—and connect with everything else by feeling.

As an INFP, all you have to do to get out of the painful pattern of numbing

yourself is ask your intuition or inner guidance to see the situation or

relationship differently, and relief will be on its way. Yes, it can be that

simple! Just ask, “Let me see this situation or relationship differently?”

Another Distressful Pattern for INFPs Can be…

2 JUDGING YOURSELF-

INFPs tend to be really good at not judging others, but boy, do they lay

into themselves. Sometimes, they take it even further and let it develop

into an extremely painful pattern of self-bullying.

There is no doubt about it, INFPs have been described as having a built-in

system of morals and values. It’s usually a product of being open minded,

having compassion, and showing kindness. But it’s more than that. INFPs

have a direct line with their intuition or inner guidance to the ultimate,

unconditional love. So, why do INFPs turn that against themselves?

Why do INFPs Judge Themselves?

When you let your morals and values slide into moral codes to live by, you

try to take away the control from your intuition or inner guidance and set

up rules for yourselves that you need to operate from. These moral codes

or rules try to restrict your thoughts and behaviors. See how this doesn’t

work very well?

24

Prepared exclusively for fcolleenva@yahoo.com Transaction: 0104965512

Signs INFPs are Trying to Live by Moral Codes or

Rules…

When you as an INFPs…

• Are critical of yourself.

• Strive to be perfect.

• Take others’ opinions personally.

• Feel bad about wanting to please yourself.

• Blame yourself for problems that arise, and hold everything on your

shoulders. (That’s why you tend to take everything personally.)

• Have difficulty leaving a bad relationship.

• Are afraid to make the wrong decisions.

• Have a hard time feeling deserving and worthy of things you want.

• Have past regrets. This can trigger INFPs to set up several moral

codes or rules.

• Feel bad about procrastinating.

• Are afraid to speak your truth or talk about what concerns you.

• Judge yourself for being overemotional or overdramatic.

• Have a terrible, horrid time getting over someone from your past.

• Feel guilty about not accomplishing enough.

• Focus on what you are doing wrong or how to improve yourself.

• Think your personality type is flawed or defective in some way.

• Feel guilty and apologize often.

This material is copyrighted by Vickie Champion

25

Prepared exclusively for fcolleenva@yahoo.com Transaction: 0104965512

 • Lack the willingness to forgive yourself.

• Want to right a wrong.

• Never really feel good enough.

• Have a hard time asking for or accepting help.

• Stay crazy busy trying to prove your worth.

• Constantly worry about what you did or did not do.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: INFPs can’t operate from self-imposed

restrictions and rules and come alive. You have to be who you are—

intuitive beings.

Another Distressful Pattern for INFPs Can be…

3 HAVING A HATRED OF NEGATIVITY-

INFPs can get into the painful pattern of fighting for the oppressed or

misunderstood. That means they go to the extreme. In fact, they could

easily hate what they are fighting against as much or more than the other

side hates their side.

To avoid taking it to the extreme, think of it this way--even though the

oppressed or misunderstood may seem to have been abandoned or

This material is copyrighted by Vickie Champion

26

Prepared exclusively for fcolleenva@yahoo.com Transaction: 0104965512

 victims, they have GPS systems too. They are just taking turns that are

bumpier, less scenic, and longer than others.

It doesn’t mean you need to stop doing things for or being compassionate

towards the oppressed and misunderstood. It means that your impact will

be substantially greater if you try to take your own negative emotion away

and instead rely on your intuition or inner guidance to direct you.

Another Distressful Pattern for INFPs Can be…

4 RETREATING INTO DEPRESSION-

INFPs can easily find themselves experiencing extremely low lows. Part of

the reason could be that INFPs are super sensitive to the energy in the

environment and to others, even if they are not in close physical proximity.

This can be challenging for you as an INFP, especially when there is a lot

of sadness, fear, or anger around you. Add your own painful pattern of

self-bullying and it could get terribly depressing.

Here’s the definition of depression:

Feeling depressed is thinking you can’t have what you want.

This material is copyrighted by Vickie Champion

27

Prepared exclusively for fcolleenva@yahoo.com Transaction: 0104965512

For an INFP, what you usually want is freedom from conflict, to be your

authentic self, and to have deep meaningful connections.

IMPORTANT: To make the depression worse, just focus entirely on what’s

happening at the moment, and what you don’t have now. That can cause

anyone to feel extremely sorry for themselves and make them wallow in it.

To get out of the depression, stay focused on what you do want and pay

no attention at all to what’s happening now. Your intuition or inner

guidance will show you what to do, when to do it, and how to do it.

 The Nonconforming Dreamer

How INFPs Can Relax

Why is Learning How to Relax

So Important?
It is extremely hard to be aware of your intuition or inner guide when you are

troubled, negative, crazy busy, or worried.

When you are relaxed, you are open to hear from a higher source.

This material is copyrighted by Vickie Champion

29

Prepared exclusively for fcolleenva@yahoo.com Transaction: 0104965512

 Ways INFPs Can Relax

1 By Participating in Some
Form of Creativity-
INFPs tend to be imaginative and creative people who have a passion for

exploring alternate realities and ideas. So, being creative or experiencing other’s

creativity usually affects INFPs enormously. It relaxes you and puts you in the

flow to be your true self.

Whether it’s with art, music, writing, acting, or wherever your imagination takes

you, it puts you in an intuitive state of mind. When you as an INFP, are utterly

absorbed in your present activity, your mind will be freed from the many

distractions that cause fear and worry.

Once the fear and worry dissipate, the combination of imagination and letting

your feelings surface is a form of intuition or inner guidance.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: The key to being aware of your intuition or inner

guidance is to let go of the fear.

Another Way INFPs Can Relax is…

2 By Moving-
Moving can be very relaxing for INFPs. You love physical activities that call on

the use of your body. You are so active that most of the other personality types

have a hard time keeping up with you.

Two Suggestions of Moving Activities that

Help INFPs Relax…

1 EXPLORING NATURE ALONE-

INFPs really relax in the outdoors by themselves whether it’s hiking

up a trail, riding a bike on a country road, jogging on the beach,

paddleboarding, or anything else that keeps their body moving.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Though you may enjoy the company

of others at times, as an INFP the best way for you to relax is alone. I

can’t stress this enough! Because INFPs are introverted, being with

others tends to deplete their energy. However, being alone will

replenish it.

This material is copyrighted by Vickie Champion

31

Prepared exclusively for fcolleenva@yahoo.com Transaction: 0104965512

 What Moving in Nature Alone Provides INFPs…

• Plenty to discover by using your senses—what you see hear,

touch, taste, and smell.

• Freedom and Flexibility. Being independent of others doesn’t

bog you down by tending to others needs or being stuck in

small talk.

• Plenty of time to reflect and get recharged.

• The ability to stay focused in the moment by exploring new

things. It can give an INFP a breath of fresh air and temporary

relief from doubting and self-bashing.

NOTE: It’s hard for INFPs to relax at the gym or in confined areas.

You are very sensitive to energy and thrive by exploring.

Another Suggestion of Moving Activities the Help INFPs Relax is…

2 ABOUT YOGA FOR INFPS-

Yoga is an excellent way for INFPs to relax enough to access their

intuition or inner guidance. It is a form of mental and physical

exercise wrapped into one. Yoga also allows INFPs the freedom and

flexibly to do it their own way.

This material is copyrighted by Vickie Champion

32

Prepared exclusively for fcolleenva@yahoo.com Transaction: 0104965512

There are lots of types and variations of yoga—probably dozens. To

relax, the key is to practice a type that gets you fully absorbed and

focused on what you are doing.

Some Things for INFPs to Remember…

• INFPs need to move. Any technique that keeps you moving

would probably be better than holding a pose for any length

of time.

• INFPs love change and exploring. So, trying out the latest

yoga methods might be very relaxing.

• INFPs tend to be very sensitive to the energy around them

which can affect their ability to relax. A crowded yoga class

in a room with some stressed or unhappy people attending

will probably be depleting. However, an outdoor yoga class

with plenty of space and fresh air would be relaxing, even if

the weather isn’t perfect.

Another Way INFPs Can Relax is…

3 With Relationships-
Because INFPs are into feeling connected, deep one-on-one relationships are a

big deal to them. But not just any relationship is relaxing for an INFP. It has to be

the “I’ll love you no matter what you say or don’t say or do or don’t do” type.

This rare type of relationship allows INFPs to feel free to share their inner

feelings without criticism. In this kind of relationship, INFPs can relax and let

themselves be who they are, which gives them room to deepen and expand the

love, adding the right amount of space and air to the flame.

Pets can often be unconditionally loving and very relaxing to spend time with.

Sometimes just sitting in silence with that special relationship is enough to let

INFPs relax and allow their intuition or inner guidance to surface.

INFPs crave intimacy at all levels. So, having meaningful sex can get INFPs away

from their critical thoughts and return them back to feeling like their true selves

again.

Another Way INFPs Can Relax is…

4 Taking Time to Unwind-

What helps INFPs enormously is to make space to reflect, analyze, and untangle

the day’s events and the feelings associated with them. Not only does it give

them that much needed alone time to relax and recharge, but it helps in not

letting unprocessed feelings build up.

TIP: Letting yourself be grateful for the feelings and experiences really helps

alleviate the desire to judge anything or anyone as wrong.

Another Way INFPs Can Relax is…

5 Through Memories-
For an INFP, sometimes taking time to remember your favorite personal

experiences can be relaxing. Revisiting your fondest places, watching favorite

movies, and listening to best-loved songs can be a good change of pace from

always having to try something new and different.

Prepared exclusively for fcolleenva@yahoo.com Transaction: 0104965512

TIP: You can even do a guided imagery meditation by closing your eyes and

thinking of a favorite place or experience that is soothing. Take time to bask in it.

Can Be Tricky

When looking back at your favorite memories, there might be a tendency

to stay to long or let your mind wander into mediocre or unpleasant

memories. That might defeat the purpose of trying to relax to be aware of

your intuition or inner guide.

Another Way INFPs Can Relax is…

6 By Extending Love-
This can be one of the most relaxing and rewarding things an INFP can do.

When you extend love, it increases.

When most people think about extending love, it’s the stressful way. So, let’s talk

about it first.

Stressful Ways for INFPs to Extend Love

When INFPs…

1 Make Sacrifices- That means DOING something for someone by taking

away from others or by eliminating your alone time. Or by giving

something to someone that would make you have to do without, such as

money to pay bills.

2 Give with Expectations- Sometimes INFPs might want something in

return for giving—even if it’s a simple thank you. That leaves them wide

open for the possibility of disappointment.

3 Try to Please Others- Giving to please others incorporates both making

sacrifices and having expectations for something in return.

Relaxing Ways for INFPs to Extend Love

When INFPs…

1 Give without Sacrificing, Expectations, or Trying to Please Others-

You’ll know if you’re DOING something the relaxing way if you are

excited about the activity, and there isn’t an urgency to it.

 2 Focus on a Good Feeling- Yes, it’s that simple. INFPs have intense

feelings. So, when you focus it’s like a laser beam, going directly out to

whomever or whatever you are thinking about, such as your loved ones or

your creative projects.

Add a good feeling to that focus—such as appreciation, kindness,

happiness, love, or peace—and you have a winning combination.

REMEMBER: It is extremely hard to be aware of your intuition or inner guide

when you are judging, troubled, negative, crazy busy, or worried.

 The Nonconforming Dreamer

How INFPs Receive

Intuition or Inner Guidance
Your intuition or inner guidance shows up in ways that you can understand and

accept. This is very important! So, don’t get frightened when it gets a little woo-

woo. Let me say it again.

Your intuition or inner guidance comes only in ways that you can

understand and accept.

 Intuition or Inner Guidance
Basics for INFPs
INFPs are naturally spiritual. So, you can pick up your intuition or inner

guidance in numerous ways. But the basic ways tend to be through your five

senses—what you see, hear, touch, taste and smell.

Here are the Two of the Most Common Basic

Ways…

1 SEEING A VISION-

Your intuition or inner guide may come to you this way if you are a

“visual” person, (i.e. someone who recalls memories in pictures). As

you probably already know, artistic people get visions all the time.

A vision is seeing a snapshot of an image or symbol. It’s a flash out

of the blue, such as seeing an unexpected face, shape, scene, aura, or

abstract image.

Sometimes visions come in the form of a mental movie playing out.

It’s similar to the way dreams unfold, only you are awake.

 The vision could be showing you a quick peek of something in the

future or revealing something you need to know now.

Another Basic Way INFPs Get Their Intuition or Inner Guide is by…

2 HEARING A VOICE-
Your intuition or inner guide may come to you this way if you tend

to remember voices or gravitate towards music or sounds.

This can be described as hearing a voice or a noise that no one else

can hear. It could be someone else’s, or even your own.

Nevertheless, you know it’s a message especially for you. Sometimes

it can be described as if someone were putting thoughts in your

head.

The voice is usually revealing something you need to know.

 More In-depth Ways INFPs
Receive Intuition or Inner
Guidance

1 Following an Impulse-
INFPs tune into intuition or inner guidance this way constantly. Every time you

explore or use your imagination, there is a good chance you are following

intuitive impulses.

About Exploring

Exploring or discovering is crucial for an INFP! Going without it cuts off

your intuition or inner guide and the ability to know who you are.

Exploring is essential to your well-being!

Exploring anything, whether it’s from an abstract, mental, and spiritual

level or a tangible, material, and concrete level puts you in a state of mind

Prepared exclusively for fcolleenva@yahoo.com Transaction: 0104965512

 of being aware of your intuition or inner guide. This is a time INFPs are

usually laser focused, in the moment, and really open for intuitive

guidance.

How to Know if Impulses are NOT Intuitive

When you…

• Use it as a numbing device for emotional issues you don’t want to deal

with. (See “Numbing Yourself” on page 21.)

• Use the impulse as a reaction to a current judgmental feeling, such as being

upset, angry, hurt, or in defiance. The purpose is to make someone else or

yourself feel guilty for doing or saying something wrong.

• Feel an uncomfortable and unpleasant feeling in your physical body. You

might experience a blocked feeling like a lump in your throat. Or you

might get a pit in your stomach, have shallow breathing, sweat profusely,

or feel your body clinching up.

How to Know if Impulses are Intuitive

When you…

• Feel a sense of relief or feel completely free.

• Don’t have an internal battle about it.

• Feel unafraid, curious, and happy.

experience an open feeling, such as your heart center expanding.

• Sense it’s coming from a higher authority, or source.

2 Getting Signs from the

Universe-
As an INFP, you can easily be aware of your intuition or inner guidance when

you explore all your choices. You can look out into the world and get a feeling or

a knowing about what you experienced. It’s a way for INFPs to find patterns and

meanings in the external environment.

Exploring is almost a constant occurrence for an INFP. They are sometimes able

to get hundreds of signs from the universe in one day.

 What are Signs from the Universe?
They are external insights from your intuition or inner guide trying to tell you

something. It is usually seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, or smelling—

something outside of you that triggers an internal response within you.

Signs can come in the form of music, art, written words, conversations, movies,

seeing numbers, serendipitous events, and even road-blocks. Really anything

that you can see, hear, touch, taste or smell can be a sign from the universe.

We often think there are only positive signs from the universe, but there are just

as many negative signs or obstacles that guide us.

How do Signs from the Universe

Help INFPs?
This is where INFPs can usually fine-tune their intuitive ability. Signs from the

universe really help INFPs with making decisions, ending their self-doubt, and

breaking their painful patterns. So, pay close attention as we explore it.

Signs from the Universe Help INFPs…

1 MAKE SENSE OF WHAT’S ALREADY

HAPPENING-
This type of sign from the universe doesn’t happen as much as the other

two types and doesn’t require INFPs to make a decision or take action. It’s

more of an insight or understanding that is often described as an “aha”

moment.

About “Aha” Moments

An “aha” moment is receiving a moment of clarity. It is when your

intuition or inner guidance gives you an immediate understanding

of something that you weren’t aware of before. The “aha” moment

often puts the pieces into place, giving INFPs the big picture.

Signs from the Universe also Help INFPs…

2 GET SUBTLE HINTS ABOUT WHAT’S

GOING TO HAPPEN-
Almost all of the signs form the universe fall into this category. This type

of signs from the universe gives you clues about what’s going to happen in

the future so you can watch the situation unfold. As an INFP, you are

excellent at picking up on this type because your personality type is future

oriented and you think about what’s next a lot.

These subtle hints almost never require INFPs to act on them

immediately—and many times, not at all. Being excited is an indication

you might need to take action in the future. On the contrary, dreading

something is an indication that if you take action, you have done

something unnecessary, and you will get more signs from the universe to

get themselves back on the shorter, more scenic, less bumpy path. Let’s

explore feelings of excitement and dread a little more.

About Getting Excited

Excitement comes from a feeling or a thought that is a premonition

about something that will happen in the future. Excitement paves

the way to the actual event. It’s a sign that it’s meant to be.

This material is copyrighted by Vickie Champion

47

Prepared exclusively for fcolleenva@yahoo.com Transaction: 0104965512

The Best Time to Take Action When INFPs are Excited

The best time to make a move as an INFP is usually when you have

let the excitement build. It gets rid of all the self-doubt. It will also be

at the perfect time for everyone and everything involved, not just

yourself.

The key is to wait and watch the momentum build up until it has

reached its peak. The feeling will get stronger and stronger until you

won’t be able to hold it back any longer. Before jumping into action,

make sure there is no fear and that you are getting the same message

over and over. In other words, wait until it becomes an absolute

certainty.

At the peak, the feeling will be so solid and undeniable, it will be

hard to concentrate on anything else—and essentially, it will make it

impossible not to make a move. Finally, it will get so unbearable,

you just CANNOT wait a minute longer! That’s the perfect time!

IMPORTANT TO KNOW: You can’t make a mistake! Even if you

DO something before the time is perfect, you will constantly get

signs from the universe to wait, slow down, or make more turns.

(Remember the GPS analogy in the “To Be Flexible” section on page 16.)

 About Dreading Something
If you can’t make yourself take action, that means you are being

guided NOT to do so. And the more you can’t convince yourself to

do something, the stronger you are being guided NOT to do it,

especially if you don’t know why.

Not knowing why means you can’t come up with a logical reason

why you can’t make yourself take action, other than it just feels

wrong.

IMPORTANT TO KNOW: If you don’t take action when it’s time,

the signs will almost always keep getting more frequent and intense

until you do take action. Your intuition or inner guidance won’t

leave you for one minute. It’s always offering you guidance!

Signs from the Universe also Help INFPs…

3 FOLLOW YOUR HEART AND TAKE

ACTION-
There are a few signs that nudge you to take action and DO something

now or at least soon.

Here are Two Times the Signs are Asking You to
Take Action Now or Soon….
1 IF YOU ASK-
If you ASK for a sign from the universe in order to convince yourself to

take action, and you get it.

An example…

QUESTION: “Am I supposed to change my career?”

SIGN FROM THE UNIVERSE: You get a late start working because

your alarm doesn’t go off for three days in a row.

To Make Sure

If you still have doubts, you might want to ask for more signs before

DOING something. This really helps to build the excitement. It also

helps build faith in your intuition or inner guidance.

Or you can ASK for a specific sign from the universe.

Let’s go back to our question of making a career change.

Examples would be…

 Asking the universe to see the number of your

birth year for a “Go for it. Change your career.”

sign.

Or asking the universe to hear your favorite song

for a “Go for it. Change your career.” sign.

Another Time INFPs Need to Take Action Now or Soon is if you are…

2 BEING BOMBARDED-
If you are continually being blasted with intense signs, your intuition or

inner guidance is telling you it’s the perfect time to take action.

Examples of more signs to change your career…

Your company cutting your hours or pay. Your loved ones being

thrilled when you mention a possible career change. You forget to

do certain tasks at work you have always remembered before. You

dread going into the office more than ever before. You find online

training for something you are interested in, etc.

IMPORTANT: The more signs from the universe you get leading you in a

direction, the more inevitable the change will be and the sooner it will

happen.

3 Focusing on How it Feels

INFPs tend to enjoy feeling. You like being emotionally moved so much that you

usually dislike hurrying through emotions, even the more unpleasant ones.

Let’s explore this more! I cannot emphasis this enough—INFPs are extremely

good at feeling! But most have a tendency to not know what to do with the

feelings except to experience them.

That’s where honing your ability to use your intuition or inner guidance comes

in. When you feel these feelings don’t judge them—meaning that you, or

someone else did or is doing something wrong. It’s the judgment that blocks the

hidden meaning behind the emotion.

IMPORTANT TO KNOW: Intuition or inner guidance doesn’t make anyone

wrong. The insights will not blame, criticize, or punish anyone or anything, ever.

Try to be neutral as you feel it. Think of the feeling as emotional energy brought

about by thoughts—and that you have the uncanny knack of being aware of it.

There is a reason you are so good at feeling emotional energy, whether it’s with

yourself, other individuals, groups, or the collective mindset.

It’s to learn to understand the feelings and transform the unpleasant

ones into amazing ones.

If you are not already aware of this next statement, it will help you understand

why you have the incredible ability to sense even the slightest feelings, emotions,

and thoughts.

Everything is connected. There are no private thoughts,

feelings, or emotions.

Judging It

Now, let’s say you do judge a feeling as wrong. You will automatically

tense up, become more dramatic, and be unable to sense the energy

clearly. That means you cannot be aware of your intuition or inner

guidance to get the insights about the feeling or what to do about it.

Let’s go even deeper! If you judge the feeling brought about by thoughts in

yourself or others as wrong, you are establishing a new moral code or rule

you need to live by, or you are supporting an existing rule you made up

previously.

Now, the question is, “Do you want to judge the feeling as wrong and

restrict yourself, or do you want to follow your intuition or inner guide?”

This material is copyrighted by Vickie Champion

53

Prepared exclusively for fcolleenva@yahoo.com Transaction: 0104965512

 NOTE: Judging is a way you put restrictions on your freedom and

flexibility.

If I Judge Others, am I Making a Moral Code or

Rule That I Need to Live By?

Yes, because we are all connected. You can’t judge others and not think it

applies to you too.

Judging someone or anything is connecting you to

a moral code or rule.

When You Choose Intuition or Inner Guidance

Once you stop judging, you can sense the emotional energy clearly, and

your intuition or inner guidance opens the flood gates. Since everything is

connected and there are no private feelings, not only will you benefit by

your intuition or inner guidance, but everyone else involved will too. No

one will lose. Conflict will resolve. Love will increase. Connections will

feel better. And there will be lots of freedom and flexibility.

 VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW: Any negative or unpleasant feeling

from yourself or anyone else can be transformed by not judging it as

wrong. Even if you judge it at first, you can choose differently at any time

and your intuition or inner guidance will transform it to a positive or

pleasant feeling.

What to Do

If your intuition or inner guide doesn’t give you directions right away you

can look for the signs from the universe and/or extend love to the

relationship or situation. Focus on sending a good feeling, such as peace,

kindness, happiness, and of course, unconditional love.

Another Way INFPs Receive Intuition or Inner Guidance is by…

4 A Knowing-
An INFP is one of the personality types that can often experience “a knowing.”

“A knowing” is usually regarded as the top of the heap of ways to receive your

intuition or inner guidance. Many say it is a sign you have intuitively arrived.

What is “a Knowing?”

When you experience “a knowing,” it is inevitable, and absolutely for sure.

It’s knowledge that you no longer need to see evidence to be certain.

Getting relaxed and in a neutral frame of mind allows your intuition or

inner guidance to reveal this knowledge to you.

“A KNOWING” …

• Is impossible to doubt, as it’s undeniable.

• Is a feeling or thought that is quiet, subtle, simple, and firm.

Whereas, if the feeling or thought comes from your ego, it is often

judgmental, complex, and brings up some doubt in you.

• Requires no interpretation.

• Eliminates all your fear about the subject.

This material is copyrighted by Vickie Champion

56

Prepared exclusively for fcolleenva@yahoo.com Transaction: 0104965512

 • Comes through so powerfully and with such clarity that logic is

meaningless.

• Seems to appear out of nowhere. There is no way you can figure

out how you know. You just know!

Ways INFPs Can Be More Aware of “a Knowing”

are to…

1 AUTOMATIC WRITE-

To do automatic writing, either gather a pen and a notebook or use your

computer. Now, write about the subject you want “a knowing” from or

whatever comes to mind.

At first most of your writing may not make sense at all—it might be just a

bunch of words. Or it may not relate to the subject at all.

If you have some bottled-up negative thoughts and emotions, this is a

good way to release them. The key is no matter how long you spend

purging your negative thoughts and feelings, not to be self-critical or

judgmental. This too shall pass! Eventually you won’t have anything

negative to write.

Another Way INFPs Can Be More Aware of “a Knowing” is to…

2 MEDITATE-

There are hundreds of ways to meditate, but here’s a simple way to get “a

knowing” answer.

Once you get relaxed, ask, “What do you want me to know

about…(describe the subject)?” Or you can ask your intuition or inner

guidance a yes or no question about the subject. Pay attention and

EXPECT an answer. You may need to let your imagination explore several

options until one stands out.

IMPORTANT: I can’t stress enough how important it is to EXPECT an

answer. It’s like confirming you’re finally ready to receive knowledge from

a higher source. It may also help to make a commitment to stay with it

until you do get an answer, no matter how long it takes.

A VARIATION: You can also imagine your crown chakra (the chakra at

the top of your head) opening up to receive this knowing guidance.

5 Telepathy-
Let’s take the INFP’s ability to feel and discuss it further. Many call this more

advanced form of intuition or inner guidance, telepathy. As we discussed

earlier, INFPs are wired to do this naturally. If you hone your telepathic ability, it

will bring you amazing insights.

What is Telepathy?

Telepathy is the ability to go deeper, picking up the thoughts and feelings

of other people, instead of relying only on physical touch and the written

or spoken word.

Everyone has this telepathic ability to some extent, but some personality

types have a tendency to believe that if they don’t express their thoughts

or emotions, no one will ever know about them.

INFPs know different.

59

Prepared exclusively for fcolleenva@yahoo.com Transaction: 0104965512

How Does Honing Their Telepathic Ability Help

INFPs?

Telepathy Helps You Understand Why You…

• Have sudden outbursts of emotion. You’re probably feeling not only

your emotions, but others’ emotions at the same time. This combination

can make any INFP go overboard with extreme excitement, be a

crybaby, or lash out with rage.

• Are super sensitive to tension and conflict around you.

• Dislike people who are not authentic. INFPs can easily pick up if

someone is keeping secrets or if they are telling lies.

• Act shy or hold back from sharing with just anyone.

• Tend to judge yourself. You probably can feel others judging you and

after a while start believing they are right.

• Have to spend lots of time on self-reflection, trying to find yourself

again.

• Believe everything is connected.

 How Do You Hone Your
Telepathic Ability?
Step One is…

1 GET TO NEUTRAL-
That means you get out of your need to judge anyone or anything as

wrong. To get to neutral you have to stay in the NOW, leaving everything

that happened in the past, and forgetting about anything that could

possibly happen in the future. Stay focused on the energy you are feeling

right now.

Step Two is…

2 ASK FOR CLARITY-

To begin with, ask your intuition or inner guide for clarity. Every time you

ask, you will receive an answer.

IMPORTANT: If you do not receive an answer, it’s because you are not

allowing it to come into your awareness. But the answer is there waiting

for you, and when you are open to it, you will receive it.

This material is copyrighted by Vickie Champion

61

Prepared exclusively for fcolleenva@yahoo.com Transaction: 0104965512

 Ask “Where are These Thoughts and Feelings
Coming From?”
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: INFPs are soooo sensitive the answer

to that question is almost always someone or something else.

The thoughts, feelings, and emotions could be coming from one

person, a group, or the collective mindset. They could also be

coming from a location, such as a house, a neighborhood, or city. Or

even items. They could be coming from anything, even people who

have passed on.

NOTE: The answers may not come in the form you think they will.

They can often surprise you.

Step Three is…

3 KNOW YOURSELF INSIDE OUT-

Sometimes to get absolute clarity you have to know yourself inside out.

This is when INFPs excel!

Out of all the personality types, INFPs know who they are more than any

of the other types. You know how you operate, what you feel passionate

This material is copyrighted by Vickie Champion

62

Prepared exclusively for fcolleenva@yahoo.com Transaction: 0104965512

about, what you don’t, what brings you joy, what doesn’t, and just about

everything else.

In fact, about the only time INFPs feel confused is when they are judging

who they are, or judging something they said or did not say, or what they

did or did not do as wrong. Then the ability to know who they are goes all

haywire.

This knowing who you are inside out can be extremely helpful, if not

crucial, in honing your intuition or inner guide.

Two Signs the Thoughts, Feelings, and Emotions

are NOT Yours…
1 When the thoughts, feelings, or emotions come on suddenly with

no explainable reason. Especially if they are unpleasant or negative,

when seconds before you were in a good mood.

2 When the thoughts, feelings, or emotions are out of character and

not you. Maybe the thoughts come in a slang or jargon you don’t

use.

This material is copyrighted by Vickie Champion

63

Step Four is…

4 FEEL THE ENERGY-

Once you get to neutral and know those thoughts, feelings, and emotions

are not yours and are not wrong, move into the energy of the situation or

relationship.

Situations

If the energy is coming from a situation, pay attention to how you really

feel about it. Do you get a cold and resistant feeling? Or is it an exciting

and inviting feeling? Are you confused or are you certain? Are you getting

a vision of the situation along with the feeling? Whatever you feel about

the situation is almost always coming from your intuition or inner

guidance.

An Example of Picking Up on Thoughts and

Feelings…
You have been happy at work for several years, but things aren’t

like they used to be. You aren’t excited to dig into the latest project.

They have hired new employees. You’ve even had a couple of

disagreements with co-workers. You decided to say something to

your boss about it but just can’t get yourself to do it.

This material is copyrighted by Vickie Champion

64

Prepared exclusively for fcolleenva@yahoo.com Transaction: 0104965512

 Take time and pay attention to the energy. If you focus on how you

are feeling about your workplace, you may become aware that for

months, if not years, you felt things just weren’t right, like you were

going in different directions, and it was not because of anything

anyone said or did. You may notice the energy feels worse when

you walk in the door every day and feels better when you leave. At

some level your boss feels the same way, but may not be ready to

admit it to you yet. The energy could be telling you that you may

shortly be laid off if you don’t quit first.

Relationships

If the energy is coming from a person, focus on how you feel about

the other person. When you think about this person, do you get a

cold and a shut-off feeling? Or a warm and inviting feeling? Are you

angry or afraid? Or do you feel love, excitement, or all warm and

fuzzy? Whatever you feel about them is what that person feels

about you at some level. It’s that simple.

For instance, if someone writes or says, “I love you,” ask yourself

“Do I love them?” If the answer is NO, then they probably have an

alternative motive, or they are not aware of their own true feelings.

This material is copyrighted by Vickie Champion

65

Prepared exclusively for fcolleenva@yahoo.com Transaction: 0104965512

 What’s really important is how you feel about them.

Sometimes, instead of paying attention to your own feelings, you

might want to give the other person the benefit of the doubt. Don’t!

If it’s authentic, you both feel it.

Now, Don’t Take It Personal

If the energy feels unpleasant or negative and is directed towards

you, don’t take it personal. Even though it may seem personal, it’s

not about who you are, what you did or didn’t do, or what you said

or didn’t say at all. It’s not about you!

People lash out when they are judging. Period.

Your job is to ask your intuition or inner guidance to transform that

energy into something pleasant and loving so both you and the

other person can feel better. If you would rather take it personal, you

are trying to join with them in judging yourself.

IMPORTANT: We are all intertwined, and the underlying meaning

is to learn to unconditionally love others and yourself.

Here’s an Example of Picking Up Others’ Inner
Thoughts and Feelings…
Your partner sent you a long email breaking up with you. They

went into details explaining how difficult the relationship was,

exactly what you were doing wrong, and how it was affecting them.

If you are taking the email only at face value, you would probably

read it over and over, magnifying what is wrong with your

relationship until you feel horrible and depressed. How could they?

The thought of not being with your partner in the future devastates

you.

Instead of taking the email at face value, pay attention to the energy

and your own feelings. Ask yourself, do YOU want to break up with

them? Are YOU still thinking about your partner lovingly? If so,

that’s what they are thinking about you, even though it appears they

are trying to sabotage the relationship. But, if you feel the same as

they do, it’s time to go in different directions—no big deal.

VERY IMPORTANT: Focusing on how you feel takes the sting out

of anything that anyone says or does.

INFPs tend to be excellent at imagining! The INFP is a future-oriented

personality type—always thinking about what is next or possible.

Here are Some of the Reasons INFPs Have Excellent

Imaginations…
Imagining…

• Helps relieve your stress.

• Arouses feelings of passion and inspiration.

• Lets you explore new ideas and possibilities. INFPs love to escape

into their minds.

want.

• Is what makes you extremely creative and independent.

guidance.

When Imagining Is NOT Intuitive?

Not all imagining comes from your intuition or inner guidance. You’ll

know the difference if there is fear or worry that comes with it. When you

connect with a higher source you are in a state of relaxation, and there is

less heaviness or seriousness attached.

Ways Intuitive Imagining Comes In

Your imagination could come in the form of thoughts, visions, images,

symbols, hearing a voice, or just about any other way.

REMEMBER: It will come in the form that is perfect for you!

One of the Ways Common for INFPs to Receive

Intuitive Imagining is Getting a Download-
Since INFPs are so creative they often get hits or downloads from their

imagination. While exploring nature or doing anything else relaxing,

instantly they can know what their next painting will be about, the title of

the song they are working on, or the subject of their next blog.

 Getting a hit or download is a thought or a flash that suddenly pops into

your mind from nowhere, giving you information you need to know for

some reason.

Another Way INFPs Receive Intuition or Inner Guidance is by…

7 Dreams-
INFPs can also receive intuition or inner guidance by paying attention to

their sleeping dreams. When you are relaxed, there is a low resistance to

receiving insights. Many get the clearest insights in the early morning,

when they are the most rested and relaxed.

Dreams can help you cope mentally with your waking situations, foretell

future events, answer your problems, or put the pieces together to see the

bigger picture.

Even though INFPs’ dreams can be vivid and full of imagination, the

important thing to focus on is whether the dream stands out.

How Intuitive Dreams Can Stand Out from
Normal Dreams
Below are some examples of how dreams could stand out to you. You may

have different experiences than those shared below—these are only what

others have experienced. It varies with each individual. You could have

one or all of them. Having experiences like these is usually a validation

that the information being revealed in the dreams is from your intuition or

inner guide.

By…

• FEELINGS- How you feel and the emotions that came with it. It

doesn’t matter whether the feelings are comforting or

disturbing—the stronger the feeling, the more you need to pay

attention.

• REMEMBERING- If you can’t get the dream out of your mind,

that’s a really good sign it’s from a higher source.

• PHYSICAL REACTIONS- The dream can also stand out by

causing a physical reaction in your body, such as butterflies in

your stomach or sudden awakening by sitting up in your bed.

• VIVID DETAILS- Recalling the dream clearly with vivid details

time after time.

 • KNOWING- Just knowing you need to pay attention.

• PARTICIPATING- Participating real time in the dream. This is

when you know you are asleep but have control over your

thoughts and feelings.

• SIGNS FROM THE UNIVERSE- Getting external signs from the

universe after waking up, such as hearing the same phrase that

stood out in your dream.

NOTE: If you research interpretation of dreams, or dream analysis, the

explanation might be a good starting point. But only your own intuition or

inner guidance can give you the deeper meaning.

How Do You Know it’s

Your Intuition or Inner
Guide?
INFPs are good at believing in something before they see it. But they still may

need a little help believing in their intuition or inner guide until they see

evidence of it.

Here’s Some Things that Might Help You Totally

Trust It Until the Evidence Appears…
Intuition or Inner Guidance…

1 Doesn’t reveal the whole picture of upcoming events or show you

many of the details. It’s more step-by-step, letting you watch as it unfolds.

2 Is a matter-of-fact. The insight in itself is straightforward and not

dramatic at all.

3 Keeps gently reminding you. The insight will not change, and it will

keep repeating over and over—sometimes for years. Remember the GPS—

the turns may be different, but the destination is always the same.

4 Often surprises you. Insights aren’t very logical, they don’t even

answer the problem you thought needed to be solved, or they tell you

something you didn’t want to hear. You may not like it, but it will always

feel right.

5 Doesn’t make anyone wrong. The insights will not blame, criticize, or

punish anyone, ever. They just state a fact.

Key Points About INFPs’

Intuition or Inner Guidance
1 INFPs naturally operate from intuition and inner guidance, but only by fine-

tuning that ability will they know what to do with it.

2 The more INFPs relax, the easier it is to become aware of intuition or inner

guidance.

3 Exploring is extremely important for INFPs, being both a relaxing activity and

a vehicle for receiving intuition or inner guidance.

4 When INFPs try to restrict behaviors with moral codes or rules to live by,

intuition or inner guidance is cut off.

5 For INFPs, being creative or experiencing other’s creativity plays a big part in

both the ability to relax and in receiving intuition or inner guidance.

6 INFPs often get intuitive insights from seeing a vision, hearing a voice, or

following an impulse.

7 INFPs are extremely good at feeling emotional energy! But most don’t know

what to do with the feelings except to experience them.

8 To build on the previous point, INFPs are extremely sensitive to the thoughts,

feelings, and emotions of others, but often assume it’s about them. That means as

an INFP, you may tend to judge yourself or take things personally when it’s not

even concerning you, which blocks your intuition or inner guidance from giving

you the deeper meaning.

9 Any negative or unpleasant feeling from an INFP or anyone else can be

transformed by not judging it as wrong. That allows intuition or inner guidance

the power to take over the situation or relationship.

 About the Author
I have been a life coach for over 20 years, showing my clients how to trust their

intuition or inner guide (God, Higher Power, Divine, Spirit, Source, Universe, or

any other term you would like to use for it) with their relationships, careers, and

with just about anything else.

For years, I tried various methods to access that higher source with little or no

intuitive insights. Because others were successful, I often felt I was doing

something wrong, and at times wanted to give up on trying altogether.

Then I had the fortune of meeting a spiritual teacher who showed me how my

personality type got intuitive insights and how to trust them. That made a world

of difference! The best part of all was that I didn’t have to change who I was to

access it.

Since then, I have learned how to take advantage of intuition or inner guidance

to help others connect to theirs through years of research, discovery, and

experience.
