Do you have to let go of your maternal instinct when transitioning to intuition? Absolutely not!
The maternal instinct is a natural form of intuition that often presents itself automatically, usually without conscious effort. Here are some ways in which intuitive guidance and the maternal instinct relate to each other:


  • Trusting inner wisdom

    Just as the maternal instinct can prompt a mother to take certain actions or make decisions that are hard to explain rationally, intuitive guidance also works like an inner compass. Both rely on the ability to trust what you know deep down, even when logic or others around you don’t understand it.

  • Deep connection to feelings

    The maternal instinct often operates through intense feelings of protection, love, and care that arise naturally. On the path of intuitive guidance, you also learn to tune in more deeply to your feelings and inner signals. In this sense, the maternal instinct can be seen as a powerful form of intuition, especially in situations concerning safety and wellbeing.

  • Natural protective function

    Mothers often experience an intuitive urge to protect and guide their children, sometimes without any clear reason. Intuitive guidance works similarly: it often sends signals or warnings when something doesn’t feel right—or a sense of reassurance when you're on the right track. This protective aspect creates a strong link between intuition and the maternal instinct.

  • Access to deeper awareness

    The maternal instinct can be seen as a deep source of wisdom that goes beyond what you've learned or experienced; it stems from something deeper. This is similar to intuitive guidance, where you feel like you're tapping into a greater awareness or insight. Especially through caring for their child, mothers often develop a strong intuitive antenna.


  • Unconditionally and lovingly driven

    Intuitive decisions and the maternal instinct are often rooted in loving and authentic intentions. While the maternal instinct originates in love for one’s child, intuitive guidance can also stem from love and authenticity—whether for yourself, your dreams, or others around you. Both paths lead you back to your core, where love and sincerity are central.

  • Sensitivity to subtle signals

    Mothers often notice the slightest changes in their child—such as a shift in mood or health—because their instinct helps them tune in. Intuitive guidance also asks for attention to subtle signals, both internal and external, that can offer direction or insight. The maternal instinct almost trains this sensitivity, which can strengthen your intuition in general.

  • Growing sense of trust

    The more you trust your maternal instinct, the stronger it seems to become. The same goes for intuitive guidance: by listening more and following the inspiration it brings, you strengthen this “muscle,” making it easier to trust.


In short, the maternal instinct and the path of intuitive guidance are deeply interconnected and can even enhance each other. By embracing and trusting your maternal instinct, you often learn to rely more strongly on your general intuition—not only for your children but also for yourself. It’s a natural source of wisdom we can nurture and that can support you on your intuitive journey.
