01: How to Improve Your Intuition Fast: 5 Simple Daily Practices

In this episode of The Spiritual Sanctuary: Wisdom for the Divine Feminine, we explore a simple truth: your intuition is always speaking—you may have just forgotten how to listen. This short, powerful episode offers five quick exercises to help you reconnect with your inner guidance, sharpen your intuitive senses, and rebuild trust in your natural psychic awareness.

Whether you feel disconnected from your instincts, unsure how to interpret intuitive nudges, or simply want to deepen your spiritual awareness, these practices offer an accessible and grounded way to strengthen your intuitive muscle.

As we move through each exercise, we reflect on meaningful questions such as how intuition communicates in everyday life, why it becomes muted or difficult to hear, how to distinguish intuition from fear or overthinking, and what it means to rebuild trust in your inner wisdom. You’ll also learn how small daily practices can significantly increase clarity, alignment, and spiritual connection over time.

Bertena Varney

Bertena is a spiritual teacher, priestess, and intuitive guide who blends ancient wisdom with grounded, modern insight. She is the creator and host of The Spiritual Sanctuary, a podcast devoted to the Wheel of the Year, Divine Feminine wisdom, goddess traditions, ritual, meditation, and soul-aligned living.

With decades of experience as a college educator and a deep background in spiritual studies, Bertena brings a rare combination of academic depth and embodied spiritual practice to her work. Her teachings weave together seasonal spirituality, priestess paths, somatic awareness, tarot and oracle wisdom, and contemplative ritual—always with an emphasis on empowerment, discernment, and personal sovereignty.

Bertena is the founder of the Ancient Arts of the Priestess Academy, where she offers self-paced courses, seasonal lessons, and immersive spiritual education rooted in the cycles of nature rather than hustle culture. Her work is especially supportive for women seeking a slower, more meaningful spiritual path—one grounded in trust, rest, and inner authority.

Through her podcast, courses, and writings, Bertena invites listeners into a sanctuary space where wisdom is remembered, not rushed, and where spiritual growth unfolds in its own time.
