Times of Intuition
Intuition can be a strange thing. Where does it come from? Is it learned or inherent? How does it work?
Intuition has had to deal with having a bad name (in terms of the psychic/sensitive side of things). Intuition is defined as “direct perception of truth, fact, etc., independent of any reasoning process; immediate apprehension.” Because of that, people like to go with ‘instinct’, which has a more solid meaning and concept.
But there will always be intuition no matter what kind of label you give it..
How do you know that your mother is calling before you pick up the phone? How can you tell from words on a screen how someone is really feeling (email or otherwise)? How do you answer questions before the questions are asked, knowing that they will be asked?
Hello intuition.
Today I would like you to think about intuition. What you think it is and where you think it comes from. Write about your experiences with intuition.
Have you ever had someone say to you, “It’s like you can read my mind”? Or had someone ask you, “How did you know what I was going to say”? Or, “How did you know what I was feeling”?
When you sit down to write, remember how to help yourself to focus. Take some deep breaths – close your eyes if you need to – and try to clear your mind. Focus on the sound of your breath coming into your lungs and then leaving them. Focus on the world intuition and what it means to you.
