Intuition is sometimes defined as the sense of knowing something without
any empirical evidence. To some this is a divine source of knowing,
while to others intuition is about listening to instinct. Everyone
experiences flashes of their intuition from time to time – those are the
“ah-ha” moments of understanding. In fact, most people walk around
actively inviting their intuition to step in. This is what you are doing
when you wonder, whether you are wondering about people, places, facts,
ideas, decisions, etc
In
order to allow your intuition to guide you, you simply need to relax
and listen to yourself. What some refer to as a gut reaction is often
your mind trying to tell you something. In fact, the term gut reaction
is very telling – oftentimes, large emotions will have a physical affect
on our bodies. Our experiences of joy, sorrow, elation, anger, and fear
are all physical experiences. If you have a physical reaction to
something, listen to what that tells you, rather than ignore it for what
you rationally know is right. Oftentimes, if you take time to honor and
examine your initial emotion, you'll find that what you intellectually
desire isn't actually counter-indicated. The
more you practice opening to your intuition, the easier it will flow
through you. When you first start consciously calling upon your
intuition, make a time and space to do so. Find a place to sit quietly
and close your eyes. Then, call up the idea that you want to find
clarity on and allow thoughts and ideas to flow into your mind. You
don't need to follow any given train of thought, simply be open to
hearing what occurs to you. |
