The Road to Intuition

How often have you had a weird feeling that something was about to happen, and to your complete surprise, that weird feeling was translated into reality?

When you feel strongly about something without logical basis to it, it's called intuition. It comes in ways: clairvoyance or "the third eye", sensing clearly and feeling through listening.

Clairvoyance is when your eye goes beyond what it can see. This is when you know what is happening somewhere.

Sensing clearly is basically what we refer to as "hunch" or "gut feeling." This is the time when you are overwhelmed with a feeling and you can't explain it and all you can say is "I just know."

On the other hand, feeling through listening or clairaudience is being able to "listen" between the lines. Intuition also sets in at times when a certain sound, whatever it is - be it a car's honk or a bird's twitting - ushers in an intense feeling.

They say only a number of people are gifted with intuition. Astrologers even insist that people born under the Scorpio or Pisces signs are naturally intuitive, almost bordering on E.S.P. But studies have been sprouting left and right and centre that now proclaim that anyone can develop intuition.

Why the need to develop intuition, you ask? Why not leave your emotional and psychological state as it is? First and foremost, intuition promotes good communication. It makes you more sensitive to the people around you; it often keeps you from hurting those you love because you are intuitive enough to understand them. Intuition also makes you far more creative than ever. Intuition means releasing more creative juices in any means of expression. Lastly, intuition has a healing power. This healing power is not in the physical sense, but in delving deep into your soul to eradicate negative energy buried within it.

Interested now? Here are some ways to unlock your intuition:

1. Hypnosis

Oh yes, get yourself hypnotised. Hypnosis is not limited to watching a pendulum move back and forth. Perform self-hypnosis or you can buy hypnotic programs that can strengthen your intuition.

2. Meditation

Meditating means finding peace in within yourself. If your mind and heart are cluttered with too much baggage and pain, your intuition is blocked. Meditation will help alieviate the pain and get rid of the baggage so that your intuition can function as it should. There are many ways to meditate either by yourself, listening to meditation CD’s or joining a yoga class it doesn’t really matter how you meditate just find a way that is most comfortable for you.

3. Think positive!

A worry-free, fear-free state will mprove your intuitive ability. By staying positive, you attract good energy and are more able to recognize imminent feelings and events.

4. Just let go.

What does this mean? If you are on the brink of making a huge decision, let go of all the inhibitions and head to a quiet place where you can find out where letting go will take you. Sometimes the only way to listen to the voice within you is to let go of all thoughts, decisions to make and problems and hear what you need to know, be guided by your own inner self.

5. Never expect.

After letting go of the inhibitions and all those things that stop you from thinking and feeling clearly, do not expect to have the answer immediately. Give it a little time and you will be surprised that the answer is suddenly there in your head and you will probably ask yourself why you didn’t think of that in the first place.

6. Believe in your first impressions.

When you see someone for the first time and think that he is a bit too arrogant for your taste, chances are that your impression actually holds true. Most of the time, first impressions are intuitive and should be listened to.

7. Stay happy!

All you need to be intuitive is to stay happy! Happiness attracts immense power and such power includes intuition. In tapping your intuition, your motivation must be happiness and contentment. Given that premise, intuition will come to you easily.

Intuition is an incredible gift, because sometimes it leads you to something that cannot be achieved otherwise. A lot of lives have been saved by intuition alone. Decisions are easier done if armed with this gift. Develop your intuition now, listen to your inner self, and reap the benefits you would never have imagined.
