How to Tell If You're Being Led by Ego or Intuition

As a seasoned esoteric guide, I've spent years watching people wrestle between intuition and ego. You know what I mean. That sacred tension—between what feels divinely aligned and what keeps you safe—isn't always easy to navigate. And for lightworkers, witches, and reiki practitioners who often sit in the sacred silence asking, “Is this my higher self or my fear?” —let me assure you, you're not alone. I have even done this waffling myself more times than I can think of until recent years.

The truth is that many of us lean on hindsight to validate our intuitive hits and misses. We wait for signs, for approval, for proof. But you don’t need to keep doubting. You were born intuitive. Let’s get you reconnected with the knowing that already lives within you.

Three Signs Ego Is Leading You

1. Playing It Safe

The ego's core programming is protection. It’s like an overprotective friend that’s only ever read your past and doesn’t understand your future. When your spiritual guidance feels logical but lifeless—when you're choosing what’s familiar instead of what’s inspired—that’s your ego doing the choosing.

This is often where witchy and intuitive decision making come to a stall. We second-guess our spark in favor of stability. But intuition? It lives and thrives outside your comfort zone.

2. Dimming Your Light for Others

Ego loves comfort—and not just yours. It’ll convince you not to lose the weight, not to claim your dream job, not to shine too brightly - because it fears how others might react. For reiki practitioners and spiritual insight seekers, this manifests as "playing small" when your soul’s begging you to expand.

3. Pulling Back After Putting Things in Motion

Ever made a soul-led decision and immediately felt flooded with fear? That would be ego whiplash. It panics when you break pattern. This fear can freeze even the most confident lightworker. But trust—your higher self is still speaking, waiting for you to lean in deeper.

Three Signs Intuition Is Leading You

1. The Idea Is Irresistible and Electric

This is the spark you can’t ignore—the download that zings through your body and floods your heart with excitement. It’s as if your soul signed off on it the moment it arrived. You’re buzzing. Inspired. Obsessed. That’s how to trust your intuition as a lightworker.

2. Synchronicities Show as if by Magic

You meet the right person. See a repeated symbol. Get an unexpected offer. These universal winks confirm that you’re aligned. When the signs start stacking, you’re not imagining things—this is intuitive guidance in motion.

For those tuned into the Akashic Records or attuned to signs your higher self is speaking, synchronicities are part of your roadmap.

3. It Feels Light and Effortless

Intuition doesn't push—it flows. You may still feel nervous, but there's an unmistakable feeling that this path is all your own. No force, no struggle. Just ease. And that's when its time to stop doubting your intuition.

Final Thoughts: You Were Born to Rise

Lightworker, stop waiting. Stop hoping hindsight will give you permission for future endeavors. Stop asking others if your knowing is valid.

You already know.

Whether you’re a witch holding sacred space or a healer nurturing others, ego will keep you stagnant if you let it. But your intuition? It’s the lighthouse calling you forward.
