The sixth sense. The inner voice. The gut feeling. The woman instinct.
But how do you listen to your inner voice or your gut feeling??
What if you don't hear anything...
What if it gives you ambiguous information...
What if it's flat out wrong...
Through my work as an Intuitive Counselor, I have developed a definition of Intuition which is immediately applicable in your life.
Intuition is a right brain process
that manages subconscious or abstract information.
It uses emotions to communicate with the conscious left brain.
It uses emotions to communicate with the conscious left brain.
Part 1: How Does It Work?
Our brains have two hemispheres:- The left side handles concrete intellectual knowledge.
- The right side handles abstract concepts that cannot be expressed with words.
That's where most people stop and make their decision.
But your right brain is also offering relevant information!
By reaching in your subconscious mind, it can come up with concrete answers based on a much wider pool of information than just the rational facts.
By learning to use your Intuition, you are harnessing the FULL POTENTIAL OF YOUR MIND.
Part 2: How Do I Use It?
You actually know a lot more than you think!Maybe you read an article years ago that you don't remember now. Or you overheard people talking at the table next to you in a restaurant, even though you didn't pay attention to them. You are constantly exposed to huge amounts of information that doesn't get processed consciously... it just gets stored in your subconscious mind.
Your Intuition is in charge of processing this information...
But it doesn't use words to do its job, simply because the information it handles is too abstract and is not stored in the brain using words.
Instead, it uses a communication channel that can handle these abstract concepts: Emotions.
This is the first line in your Intuition's User Manual:
- An emotion that feels GOOD (excitement, passion) is used to tell you that you're going the RIGHT WAY, towards your goal.
- An emotion that feels BAD (guilt, fear) is telling you that you're going the WRONG WAY, away from your goal.
But there's more to it than just that.
- If you don't understand the signals sent by your Intuition, you'll feel like you're looking at
a traffic light, not knowing what red, green and yellow means...
- If you don't trust your Intuition (probably because you tried to follow it in the past and it blew up in your face),
you can't rely on it to make the best decision...
- If you don't train your Intuition to get concrete answers, you'll get fuzzy "gut feelings" that leave you
confused and undecided...
Where do you go from here?
Well, it depends on what you want...
