Chapter 1: Understanding Intuition

Intuition, often referred to as our sixth sense or gut feeling, plays a significant role in our daily lives. It nudges us to take different paths or alerts us to potential dangers. For instance, at work, I frequently sense when something is about to go wrong, often surprising myself with the accuracy of my intuition.

Have you ever experienced déjà vu? I have, and it can be disconcerting to feel a sense of familiarity with something completely new. Similarly, when I meet someone and get an uneasy feeling, I often later discover that my instincts were right about their character. These experiences have led me to explore the nature of intuition further.

In 2016, Professor Joel Pearson, a psychologist and neuroscientist, conducted research on intuition. He found that intuition allows us to make effective decisions without relying on analytical thought, deriving instead from our past experiences. Initially, I was doubtful—how could I know someone was untrustworthy, or foresee a traffic incident before it occurred? However, numerous studies indicate that intuition is a cognitive process that taps into our subconscious, drawing from our accumulated knowledge and experiences.

Intuition has been recognized as a valuable skill throughout history. For example, Steve Jobs credited much of his success to intuitive decision-making, stating, “Intuition is a very powerful thing, more powerful than intellect.” Similarly, Albert Einstein emphasized the value of intuition, asserting that it is among the most valuable assets we possess. The US Navy even employs what they call a “Spidey Sense” for quick, instinctive responses in critical situations.

This leads me to believe that trusting our instincts can significantly enhance our life experiences.

Section 1.1: Cultivating Intuition through Mindful Meditation

Interestingly, our busy minds can often drown out our intuitive signals. The saying goes, “Intellect shouts, intuition whispers.” To truly hear our inner voice, we must calm our thoughts.

To practice meditation, find a peaceful spot where you feel safe and undisturbed. Begin by closing your eyes and allowing your thoughts to flow. Gradually, focus on bringing your awareness back to the present moment and the sensations of your body. This practice can help bridge the gap between your conscious and subconscious mind.

Our subconscious is constantly absorbing information, often without our conscious awareness. To make it a valuable resource, immerse yourself in various genres and subjects, turning your mind into a well-stocked library.

In closing, powerful feelings are often mysterious and cannot always be easily explained. Yet, these instincts exist for a reason. As Steve Jobs famously said, “Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
