What is intuition? Take a look of the following examples. All of a sudden a great idea occurres to you in the most unexpected moment. Or maybe you discover, spontaneously, the answer to a question that had been bothered you for two weeks. Sometimes you think about someone and after a few minutes, that person rings you up. How about the moment you run into somebody you know and you guess exactly what the person is about to say? All these examples, apparently ilogical, can be explained by using the term intuition.
Without intuition, the mind is limited just to the facts we experience. By using our intuition we can say that we let, in a way or another, our mind or soul transmit to the eye those things that cannot be correctly distinguished. Instinct or intuition requires, in the first place, an open mind, capable to receive and transform information. It is also true that intuition helps us perceive meanings beyond logic or read between the lines.
The main problem is that our visions or intuitions can't be always trusted. More exactly, the logical message we extract from them depends by how good is our understanding. We can’t always afford to be spontaneous and take the risk to act based on that message. Sometimes, it turns out exactly the opposite from what we expected it to happen and we discover that in fact, our intuition, was nothing but a fear, a thought that turned out not to be real. We feel very embarrassed at the moment and we don’t dare to trust our instincts anymore, which is precisely something that we should not do. Despite the occasions when you were wrong, you should never totally ignore your intuition, especially when you have a strong feeling about the subject it adresses.
Our everyday lives are influenced and affected by the intuition. "Using the intuition" rarely is a counscious choice. Persons who use intuition frequently tend to analyze the possibilities and the effects certain actions might have, and they end up with a multitude of options, out of which they choose the most favorable one.
There are two main types of intuition: the one based on affection, representative for the persons recognized by the others as energy sources, as they influence in a positive manner all the people around them; and the intuition based on reason, typical for the persons who try to dominate the capacity of understanding, controlling and predicting the reality.
It seems like the intuition is more powerful for women. That's probably because women are more sensitive and open minded. Modern studies, regarding the typology of the personalities, reveal that about a quarter of all women know how and frequently use this mental capacity called intuition.
In conclusion, intuition is, indeed, a real and positive characteristic, but nevertheless it must be combined with judgment and reason. Believing and acting upon your intuition is probably the most certain path to acquire your profound wishes and goals.
