Intuition

What do you do when you encounter a challenge or a problem? Most likely you try to think your way out of it. You try to get clarity by looking at the pros and cons, looking at solutions - all very valuable tools. What if you still cannot take a decision? What if none of the solutions feel right or tempting to you? We have another resource to deal with that - our intuition. What is intuition? One definition is “attaining direct knowledge without evident rational thought”. You just know. Don’t worry if you lost touch with your intuition or you are just beginning to develop it.  A simple way to get started is the following.  Before you go to bed, ask a specific question. Whether the question is about what do to (asking for guidance) or how can you be happier (asking to understand your emotions) , write it down before you go to bed and let it go. Do not try to answer it. Instead, set an intention to be aware of any clues or opportunities arising in the next few days. Maybe your intuition will speak to you through a vivid dream, a sensation in your body, an idea, a person you meet, or an opportunity that shows up unexpectedly. Just keep your eyes open. Maybe the old saying “Sleep on it” refers to letting your intuition guide you.
