The Anatomy of Intuition

Many people don't understand how to use their intuition. Today, I'm going to talk about why it's necessary to understand the anatomy of your intuition. Did you know that there is a defined structure to your intuition? It's true!

Structure, any structure, was always a topic I had an affinity to study. Little did I know this interest came from my ability to witness, see, and sense the unseen and the observed dynamics that were going on in the world around me. Everything has a structure, whether we see it or not.

Intuition allows you to sense that unseen structure and your body will enable you to feel it and interpret the data your nervous system is receiving. You don't have to be a mystic or particular type person to have intuition. 

We are all born with intuition. It’s a natural skill. When we’re young, no one actually teaches us how to use this skill. As a result, we end up not understanding or knowing how to use our intuition effectively.

Trust is the most significant problem people have when it comes to their intuition. The self-doubt this generates creates a scenario where we run over ourselves and ignore our intuition — our wisest voice within. When you have a question pop up in your mind, and then an answer comes to you, this is your intuitive system working for your better good! Your intuitive system is the system through which ideas and solutions flow.

Malcolm Gladwell's book Blink talks about how our intuition is the strongest when we know what we're doing. I don’t disagree. However, there is a whole lot more to this story. You don't have to be a subject expert in a specific field to receive an answer for our questions.

Listen in to find out how intuition works, why you don't have to be an expert to have receive information on a subject, and why intuition is not a gift, but a skill. Learn why intuition is not understood well by humankind. What is gaze detection, and why your brain is the endpoint for teasing out signals in your body.
