Develop intuition

In the hustle and bustle of our hectic and hyper-connected lives, listening to our little inner voice, our intuition, is not always easy.

Yet intuition is like a sixth sense, a feeling that pushes us to choose this rather than that.

A small inner voice that advises, a dazzling certainty that imposes itself, or a more or less intense bodily reaction that can warn us of imminent danger coming from such and such a place or person.

Neuroscience confirms it: no magic, no gift. Intuition is a form of intelligence present in each one of us that comes from our primitive, reptilian brain. It is cultivated, worked on and sharpened on a daily basis. In this article, we will give you some clues on how to connect to your intuition and develop it.

 

APPROACH TO THE CONCEPT OF INTUITION

Intuition is what's going on in your brain that helps you make choices. For no particular and apparent reason, you will go towards one solution rather than another, only because you feel it is the right path to take. Some people describe it more as a kind of sixth sense, a knowledge that you don't know where it comes from.

Intuition is a compass, a small inner voice that tells us the "right choices". It is a tool that boosts self-esteem, brings luck and develops creativity. In short, an essential ally.

Intuition can also be defined as a spontaneous illumination, a sudden event that helps us make the right choice. Intuition is something that cannot be explained, it comes from inside us and manifests itself without any precursor symptoms. Intuition probably comes from our unconscious. It is not linked to any logical and rational reasoning and comes from experiences that we have made and from a kind of intelligence that comes from the depths of the human species.

 

KNOW HOW TO LISTEN TO YOUR INTUITION

To be intuitive would be to be able to give importance to something you don't see and have no tangible proof of. We are then in the realm of the irrational. It is then knowing how to "listen in oneself" and then act.

Of course, intuition requires you to trust what you feel despite the fact that you cannot link this knowledge to so-called rational reasoning. One could then say that you need to have "faith in yourself" to be intuitive.

Your intuition acts as a kind of personal detector that often enlightens you in your choices or actions by remaining in agreement with who you really are.

THE MEANS TO CONNECT TO ONE'S INTUITION

 

GET IN CONDITION

Clearly and concisely define the question that intuition should give you the answer to. Research the issue in question objectively without dwelling on it.

 

CONNECT TO YOUR SENSES

We remind you that to connect to your intuition is to give yourself time to become aware of your sixth sense. It is also to learn to listen to oneself in a more intuitive and profound way. Often, our intuition goes through our 5 senses to send us messages. But instead of stimuli coming from the outside, everything happens inside us.

In other words, this means that our intuition can send us all kinds of images, thoughts, messages in our head (the little voice). Note that emotions can also be linked to this little voice and guide us to develop our intuition. However, emotions that are too strong, whether pleasant or unpleasant, can also inhibit our intuition.

LIMIT ITS HYPER-CONNECTION

We can never say it enough: the various digital objects bombard us with superfluous or anxiety-provoking data. They also restrict our intuition, which no longer has any inner availability. This is why it is urgent to regain control of your digital consumption so that you are no longer dependent on it.

When you wake up, set a delay before connecting, on the e-mail side, take a break on weekends, put your phone on airplane mode in the evening. Limit your alerts and notifications.

Replace evenings spent surfing the Internet or watching a series of fast-paced TV shows with real-life activities: concerts, restaurants, reading...

In general, be more present to your loved ones. Forget your smartphone when you play with your child or have lunch with a friend. Don't forget: human-to-human communication is the channel through which we capture the most information - especially subtle information - about our environment.

 

INVITE MINDFULNESS

In your daily life, being connected to your intuition means fully investing your inner space in a form of mental calm and sensory attention to "what is". This experience, which spiritual traditions refer to as the "present moment", is acquired through mindfulness methods such as meditation, yoga or qi gong. What they have in common is that they bring us back to the slow, connecting body and mind.

Apart from this learning, it is possible to cultivate small moments of mindfulness in daily life. The goal is to put attention where we don't usually put it. Stop, even if only for a few moments, to connect with your senses.

At the table, take the time to truly taste and smell the flavors. In the shower, feel the water on your skin, the temperature, the roughness of the towel. Or, on transportation or at work, focus on your breathing, imagining and feeling its precise path through your body.

 

OBSERVE EXTERNAL SIGNS

Intuition passes through fine and fleeting manifestations that it is important to learn to spot. Thus, when thoughts outside the frame pass through you, unrelated to the present situation or usual inner ruminations, practice being aware of them.

Similarly, when visual suggestions appear on your mental screen while you are busy with something else, don't let them slip away. Just like in the movies, freeze the images. Also, be connected to your body by noting the feelings that animate it. Be sure to identify what specific sensations are happening, where in your body, and on what occasion.

In general, consider all these inner signals as a potential source of intuitive information about yourself, your loved ones, your environment, and not always as useless parasites.

Note their presence and welcome them without denigrating, explaining or analyzing them.

 

SHARPEN ITS RECEPTIVITY

Our Western mind tends to find immediate rational explanations for the phenomena we experience.

Thus, a dazzling intuition or a premonitory dream can be almost erased almost immediately after having been experienced.

On the other hand, if we pay attention to these manifestations, without trying to believe in them or to give them a reductive explanation, we will realize that they are likely to be useful in terms of advice, warnings or information. Moreover, they contribute to an "increased" perception of our being.

To realize the place that our intuition can hold, a good experience consists in keeping a logbook. It is a good experience to keep a logbook to record everything that seems to be related to our sixth sense, such as premonitions, intuitions, disturbing coincidences, etc. It is also a good way to keep a record of the things that seem to be related to our sixth sense. Care should be taken to note the context, physical sensations and associated emotions. We will end each event with what we have learned.

KNOW YOURSELF

The path of intuition can only be serenely traced in an authentic and peaceful relationship with oneself. This implies getting to know oneself well, by daring to approach one's shadowy areas like fears. In addition, it is necessary to cultivate a lucid and distanced glance which takes height and distance.

This is why it is essential that each person takes care to give a lot of attention and time to each intuition that comes to him or her so as not to miss something important.

More than ever, it is advisable to respect Socrates' old adage.

 

TRAVEL IN OTHER DIMENSIONS

Creative visualization, by teaching us to travel through the imagination beyond the usual boundaries of our mind, allows us to break down the barriers of our mind and gain access to other dimensions of our consciousness.

This technique is accessible to all. It is a matter of imagining with precision a form, controlling it and using it to obtain benefits (recharge, receive advice). Like meditation or relaxation, this method requires regular training.

 

HOW TO PRACTICE YOUR CONNECTIONS?

Relaxed, in a zen place, eyes closed, deep and regular breathing, visualize yourself moving in the landscape of your choice, let your imagination run free.

You can decorate your interior with a lamp of natural Himalayan salt for a cocoon effect.

The important thing is to immerse yourself in this universe. You can receive the information you need in several ways: by reading a letter, hearing a voice, meeting a character...
