Intuition


" The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has   forgotten the GIFT "  
                                               Albert Einstein

One of may favorite topics is Intuition and I, like Einstein consider it a GIFT
Who would ever have thought I'd I have something in common with Einstein !!!
By Intuition I do not mean an intangible  clairvoyance but a useful practical gift that we all can use and access as a compass for our lives. A skill perhaps to be acquired by some, a gift already used by many but I not a talent as such.



To me, being intuitive is a quiet subtle message you get from subconscious information that helps us make right decisions and guides us in life even if at the time we do not know why.
It is not a physic power nor does it have anything to do with crystals, essential oils, auras or predicting the future.







We all have heard or said these  phrases  :

I had a gut feeling
I had a hunch
I had an inkling
Struck by something
A Premonition
I just felt like it was the right thing
Feeling in your bones
It struck me like a ton of bricks
Suddenly came to you
" Doh "Moment
I just had to go with my gut
It hit me out of the blue
all intuition.



The only real valuable thing is intuition 
                                             Albert Einstein
  


By using intuition a more balanced decision making process can occur that is extremely helpful in day to day life, as we are using both sides of our brains.
Your left brain offers all the factual information and your right brain all abstract concepts so by using the right side and not ignoring our intuition we are gaining information from a much wider pool than just facts.

And lets face it in our world we dominate decisions with scientific facts, logical thought and reasoning. Life abounds with problem solving techniques where we gather information, formulate options , evaluate ,  decide while this is all worthwhile and has its place it should be balanced especially in an age where innovation is the key.

We need to allow intuition to fuel our creativity



 You may find intuition is felt as a gut feeling either good or bad,  an inner voice,  a churning in the stomach, or an instant of knowing what you have to do. A brainwave, an  ah haa moment, however you describe it
These sensations or feelings or perhaps  an image, a name  or a phrase or perhaps a mistake or delay that becomes the path to a greater experience.

It is our senses of perception that pick up intuition or knowingness without any conscious reasoning behind it.


If we can trust these perceptions or our inner voice, our instincts and develop a heightened perception it is possible to hone our intuitive skills to our advantage and reap numerous rewards. Call it right action or freedom from problems but the outcome remains the same~ life is easier.

You receive intuitive insights when you pose a question to yourself, forget you asked it, and then let yourself gain an answer when you are relaxed. You could be taking a walk or even daydreaming  when the answer “hits you.”
You may decide, out of the blue, to call someone and discover that they were just thinking  about you. When you use your intuition, everything feels right and you feel fantastic

It is not always easy to trust your instincts.
From the small hint to take your umbrella as you leave home in the morning to a hunch not to drive a particular way or to turn off somewhere and YES it did pour with rain and perhaps the delay in travel averted a problem or worse still a near miss diaster to full innovation or conceptualisation and plans that emerge from intuitive thought.

                       All great men are gifted with intuition. They know, without reasoning or analysis, what they need to know.
