Intuition... a Sacred Gift!

Albert Einstein said about 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."

Billionaire investor George Soros, (in his book Soros on Soros): when asked how he found out when things (i.e., his logic) were going wrong, responded "I feel pain. I rely a great deal on animal instincts. When I was actively running the Fund, I suffered from backache. I used the onset of acute pain as a signal that there was something wrong in my portfolio." Soros takes positions on billions of dollars every day, relies on his intuition in business.

The definition of intuition is instinctive knowing without the use of rational processes

How many of you are thinking that’s fine for them but I haven’t got an intuitive bone in my body!

Then let me ask you a couple of questions...

Have you ever, after something happened, thought to yourself, “I knew that or I knew that was going to happen?

Have you ever experienced déjà vu?

Known that your were going to get the job

If you answered yes to any of those then you have experienced intuition!

I took up meditation as a way to reduce stress in my life and found that it enhanced my intuitive ability. Having been raised with a strong Christian background, my interest in intuition raised some serious question for a number of family members. I came to realize that intuition was synonymous with the gift of knowledge in the Bible. What I have found is that most people are so busy they can’t hear the small still voice. When we feel that feeling in our solar plexus, our gut, we just drink some more pepto!

NOTE: The books to the left are excellent and will give you a really good basic understanding of how to develop or strengthen your intuition.

You can experience intuition in a number of ways

Clairvoyance – seeing a picture in your mind

Clairaudience – hearing a voice outside your head

Clairsentience – that gut feeling in the solar plexus area

How many of you have experienced that just before a draw was made and you won something? Intuition can be a partner in creating a better life for your self.

It can enhance better decision making. Start listening for the small still voice and trust your gut feelings.
The opportunity to relieve stress.
Less worry about how something might turn out.
Could mean an alternative to prescription drugs.

How can you cultivate intuition? Look for clues

Create an intuition journal.

You will be amazed how accurate you really are and how many experiences you have had once you write them down.

Practice imagining who is on the phone when it rings.

Play with it and don’t take yourself to seriously, a playful attitude allows intuition in, straining prevents it.

"We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them." ~ Albert Einstein

"You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover is yourself." ~ Alan Alda
