They are rich with valuable data — experiences, memories, learnings — so they can work hard if we let them. Paying attention to dreams can provide information that we may not have access due when we are awake.
Before you fall asleep, turn your thoughts to any unresolved issues or problems. Close your eyes and let your brain do the rest. You need a balance of both — call into play both the intuitive and rational parts of the brain to position yourself to reach the best decisions. I have always known I have had high intuition since I around 10 years old.
The biggest one was a few weeks ago. I had my neice over to my house, and she asked to sleepover. I told her she would have to get her fathers permission. She texted her father, and he did not respond. So, a few hours later I texted him. No responce. Then a few hours later I had threurge to text to ask if he was ok. Finally at around his sister called me, and said there was a family emergency. They were coming to pick her up. I went outside to smoke, and calm myself. He has a criminal history, but at this time they said a family emergency.
Not that he was having the emergency. I knew he was having heart issues. I immediately thought he is in jail, or hosptial with heart issues. These oprions did not feel right. I was urged from inside to see if there were any shootings in MN that night, and even called the hospital to check. The hospital said they did not have a person by that name, but inside I knew he was the one shot and killed from what I found on google. My bf said no, there are millions of ppl in MN that is not him. I said yes it is!
I am sure of it. He was shot and killed that night. Bf asked if I was psyhic. Do we just acknowledge the past reoccurrences and let go to trust whatever happens happens? Since every situation can be different and not follow old patterns.
What about conflicting feelings? If I leave a situation that feels draining for certain reasons, or from certain people, yet I still get the ache you describe from a bad decision? I would trust that!
Just found your article while searching information about; Intuition vs Leading. It was difficult for me to explain the difference to her. I appreciate your articulation of intuition in this article.
I would be interested in knowing if you feel there is a difference between intuition and leading. You simply know you want to do a certain thing because it is presented to you in knowing or leading and you chose to do it. Just a note of clarity, the empath and the intuitive are not the same, you have some crossovers here. These two neither operate the same way, nor express it in the same way. A police officer and a psychic are classic intuitives but not empaths.
A seer and a dreamer are empaths but not intuitives. Dreamtime can only be accessed by a fully enlightened human being, but dreams and dreaming can be done by every.
There is much more of course but great job and blessings. I am 71 and have always almost feared my intuition. I finally realized it is not so unusual. It came to me that it is more than physical and mental. Framing the alternatives in terms of lives saved or lives lost is what made the difference. When choices are framed in terms of gains, people often become risk-averse, whereas when choices are framed in terms of losses, people often became more willing to take risks.
Other cognitive scientists argue that intuition can lead to effective decision-making more commonly than Kahneman suggests. He, too, says that people rarely make decisions on the basis of reason alone, especially when the problems faced are complex. He views intuition as a form of unconscious intelligence. Intuitive decisions can be grounded in heuristics: simple rules of thumb. Heuristics screen out large amounts of information, thereby limiting how much needs to be processed.
Such rules of thumb may be applied consciously, but in general we simply follow them without being aware that we are doing so. Although they can lead to mistakes, as Kahneman points out, Gigerenzer emphasizes that they can be based on reliable information while leaving out unnecessary information.
For example, an individual who wants to buy a good pair of running shoes might bypass research and brain work by simply purchasing the same running shoes used by an acquaintance who is an experienced runner. In one of their experiments, test subjects were asked to select which of the four cars was the best, taking into account four characteristics, among them gas consumption and luggage space.
One set of subjects had four minutes to think about the decision; another set was distracted by solving brainteasers. But if participants were asked to assess 12 characteristics, the opposite happened: undisturbed reflection had a negative effect on decision-making; only 25 percent selected the best car. In contrast, 60 percent of the subjects distracted by brainteasers got it right. Investigators have been unable to replicate these findings, however.
And in a review Ben R. Shanks of University College London concluded that the effect of intuition has been overrated by many researchers and that there is little evidence that conscious thought arrives at worse solutions in complex situations. Of course, problems in the real world can be considerably more complicated than the artificially constructed ones often presented in laboratory experiments.
In the late s this difference sparked the Naturalistic Decision Making movement, which seeks to determine how people make decisions in real life. With questionnaires, videos and observations, it studies how firefighters, nurses, managers and pilots use their experience to deal with challenging situations involving time pressure, uncertainty, unclear goals and organizational constraints. Researchers in the field found that highly experienced individuals tend to compare patterns when making decisions.
They are able to recognize regularities, repetitions and similarities between the information available to them and their past experiences. They then imagine how a given situation might play out. This combination enables them to make relevant decisions quickly and competently.
It further became evident that the certainty of the decider did not necessarily increase with an increase in information. On the contrary: too much information can prove detrimental.
A completely deliberative and analytic strategy would be too slow. She asked managers at a food company how they use intuition in their everyday work.
Almost all of them stated that, in addition to rational analyses, they tapped gut feelings when making decisions. More than half tended to lean on rational approaches; about a quarter used a strategy that blended rational and intuitive elements; and about a fifth generally relied on intuition alone. Interestingly, the more upper-level managers tended more toward intuition.
Malewska thinks that intuition is neither irrational nor the opposite of logic. Rather it is a quicker and more automatic process that plumbs the many deep resources of experience and knowledge that people have gathered over the course of their lives. Intuition, she believes, is an ability that can be trained and can play a constructive role in decision-making.
Field findings published in by Lutz Kaufmann of the Otto Beisheim School of Management in Germany and his co-workers support the view that a mixture of thinking styles can be helpful in decision-making.
The answer to this question is yes and no. Your purest intuitions are always right but those tinged by your own thoughts and emotions may only be partially correct or even completely wrong. With practice, you can learn to assess your intuitive experiences and identify when they are more likely to be right.
For some reason we expect more from intuition than we do from logic. Ask yourself if your logic has ever been wrong about anything? Most people would agree that their logic doesn't always prove accurate. But we expect intuition to be perfect, even though we are not skilled in its use. This is magical thinking and intuition is not magic. While intuition is not always perfect, we can develop our intuitive skills to increase their usefulness.
Practice with intuition teaches you how to identify, integrate, apply, and assess your intuitive experiences. On an interesting note, we don't yet fully understand the mechanism by which true intuition allows us to obtain information.
But in the last five years, researchers have discovered chemical reactions that occur in your body during commonly-reported intuitive experiences. Some day scientists may even discover biological distinctions between pure intuition and other phenomena, such as wishful thinking, projection, and imagination.
Intuition takes many forms and can include visual imagery, as well as any intuitive sensing in your body--with your ear, or nose, gut, heart or any other way that information arises without the use of logical processes. Most of us have little training in identifying any of these, because Western education methodologies focus primarily on left brain skills.
We need to begin by paying attention so we can recognize our intuitive sensing. Then we need to determine if it is true. One of the most challenging things for us to do is to separate true intuition from wishful thinking what we hope will happen or projections interpreting images through the lens of our own history or ideas. All of us are full of wishes and fears. When you open to intuitive images, it is important to be aware of how these wishes and fears can confuse your ability to identify true intuition.
Your body is amazing. Tune into its response when you have an intuition. People describe feeling the following with true intuition: openness; relaxation; joy; a sense of connection or belonging; lack of doubt; clarity; surprise; awe; excitement; fulfillment; inspiration; or brightness. Naturally, their curiosity is heightened.
The dancer, Agnes de Mille, once said, "Bodies never lie. You can learn its language and know to trust it. Willis Harman, Stanford researcher and President of the Institute for Noetic Sciences, stated, "Most of us are living on the periphery of our lives; intuition invites us into the center. This state is less likely to produce intuition clouded by projections or wishful thinking and thus facilitates pure intuition.
Many people have experienced this state without striving to achieve it. For example, some people find that nature calms them. Other people listen to music or talk with a good friend in order to restore their sense of inner peace and balance. There are many ways for people to separate themselves from their emotional responses , projections, or wishful thinking.
Another way to induce a centered state is to focus or meditate. This allows you to develop an observing self-a self that acknowledges your thoughts and emotions without believing that they are you.
There two ways to do this, as shown in the examples below. Both examples concern Sarah, who is worried about doing well at work. Both ways establish the observing self and its capacity to remain calm.
Inner calm fosters true intuition and allows it to be easily identified. It is instantaneously relevant to you and beyond you. Pure intuition is non-emotional, although it may fill you with a sense of joy and connection. Of course, achieving a calm, detached state is challenging for all of us. You might have to explore different techniques to see what works-for some it may be sitting meditation, for others it may be listening to music or walking in nature.
You may find it takes quite a bit of practice and even then may be easier at some times than others. But even at the beginning, simply recognizing your emotional state can help you assess if your intuition might be tinged or pure.
Since wishful thinking and projection are so filled with your history, your hopes, your ideas, and your wounds, it is important to analyze your images.
Ask yourself these types of questions:. It is some times useful to write your answers down to this question. Of course, your intuition can use your history to bring legitimate intuitive information to you. Therefore, you can not dismiss all the intuitions that you have which are related to your past. But, it is important to be objective and unemotional when assessing them. You have nothing to lose by asking yourself questions, keeping a record of the answers, and waiting to assess the results.
Remember this: your intuition is not going to go away.
