Destroying stereotypes, we will reveal to you one secret: nature is so arranged that intuition, our inner wisdom, is better developed not in women. Intuition is not about predicting the inevitable, intuition talks about the present and what the future is most likely to be. If nothing is changed in the present.
Intuition is the ability to know about something directly, without the aid of texts, observation, messages. Each of us has experienced this, and this is often perceived as an inexplicable mysticism. In fact, the feeling of "mysticism" is associated with a lack of understanding of the very mechanism of intuition.
Mechanism of intuition
For the natives of Africa or the Amazon, the voice on the phone or the image on the screen looks like a miracle. To understand and fully use intuition, it is enough to accept one simple principle: a person has not only a bodily, but also a field (wave) component. Not only a person, but our entire reality. This field coordinate is called differently: soul, semantic field, energy, morphogenetic field, spirit, etc. For the field and waves there are no space restrictions, but for bodies they are quite palpable. If in the case of physical objects contact is necessary, then it is important to be able to tune in to fields and waves. They fill the space, but do not mix, they are like different frequencies of radio and mobile communications.
We are always surrounded by information. And the perception of the necessary information is somewhat similar to the operation of a radio receiver: the receiver perceives all waves, you just need to know which wave you want to catch (target), and know how to turn the knob (technique).
The main thing that prevents a person from fully using all these fields is his own belief that this is impossible. This is the main block that interferes with the conscious use of intuition. If we accept the idea of the field, then it becomes reality that all the information we need is already present here and now, we are surrounded by it, and it cannot be hidden. Is that "make noise" or affect the ability of perception.

Access to the information you need
Intuition provides us with information in line with our interests and aspirations. Our desires and goals are like adjusting the knob of the receiver, and it is they that provide the desired "messages". The more certain we are in our goals and desires, the more accurately our intuition works. Accordingly, problems with goals and desires affect the quality of intuition: there is too much information, and, moreover, ambiguous. But this is not a problem of intuition itself, but of our “certainty”: what exactly do I want?
Here is a small list of the main destroyers of intuition.
- Contradictory goals (I want and do not want), doubts about goals. It's like switching every second between two or three radio channels. Information goes on, but only increases the general uncertainty.
- Non-specific, undefined goals. No request - no answer, in which case intuition usually does not work at all - there is nothing to serve.
- Desire. The goal becomes super-significant, stress and tension intensify - there is a "noise" of information. “Inappropriate” information is ignored, and the desired information is reinforced. This is addiction, when we are not centered on ourselves, but on something external (on another person, on results, relationships, objects, etc.). Accordingly, there is no freedom, no options.
- Fear. Also a strong desire, only with a minus sign: what I don't want. Again, intuition is distorted: information that speaks of threats is amplified and “peaceful” information is ignored. Here, one cannot do without psychological correction. Fear is rooted in a dramatic, under-lived past.
There is only one general recipe: self-determination. Relax, think about your interests and articulate exactly: what do I want? Internal certainty makes the external situation much more understandable and calculable.
The language of intuition
Intuition is a manifestation of the ability to perceive, which is inherent in us from birth, as in all living beings. A person has two basic abilities: to perceive and to act (will). Intuition provides "knowledge" of what is happening, and will - the desired changes. Small children who do not know the language, like animals, just feel. But in the process of raising a child, they are taught to follow the norms and rules of society and the family rather than trust their feelings. Gradually, a habit is formed to supplant one's feelings and follow norms, authorities, texts, advertisements, TV. Here the choice is simple: either Mowgli, or a social person, with access to all the possibilities of the system, culture. But the price of this is suppression of intuition.
In order to be a “normal” person, you must regularly do “unnatural” things: shake hands with someone you don’t trust, smile when you’re not having fun, be friendly with someone you don’t respect, etc. Therefore, the development of intuition is the return of attention and confidence to oneself. Intuition speaks to us extremely rarely in words, almost always - in vague sensations, feelings and images. It is important for someone who wants to get the most out of their innate intuitive ability to be able to detect these signals. It is somewhat like a hunter: to be attentive to everything, to catch the slightest sounds, smells, to be able to observe, to see traces.
George Soros, in his book Soros about Soros, talks about how long and unsuccessfully he tried to get rid of back pain. Then he found that the pain always intensified during negotiations, after which he did not make the best decisions. By starting to "listen" to pain, Soros began to reduce its intensity and save his money.
How to understand intuition
Our intuition gives information in the form of pictures, often non-specific, sensations in the body, emotions and feelings, less often - in sounds, smells, taste sensations or in words. Naturally, the question arises - how to decipher all these signals?
The best way to distort the meaning of the signals already received is to start interpreting, thinking out. Intuition and thinking are different processes. Synonyms for intuition are vision, contemplation. It is important to be able to ask a question and wait for the "receipt" of the answer. It's about awareness, not thinking.
Interpretation is an attempt to "attribute" meaning to the received signals, to guess, to logically come to a conclusion. It would be if you were driving a car using GPS and, with a broken screen and no voice message, tried to guess: there is probably a turn, and it seems to be a gas station, or not, most likely, a store. The work of intuition is somewhat similar to a miracle: if there is a right question, there will be an adequate answer.
Lack of confidence in one's ability to comprehend leads to haste and an attempt to explain. And when explaining, we already begin to rely not on the perceived reality, but on our knowledge, stereotypes, beliefs, trying to correlate the information received with one or another memory cell. And this will almost always be inaccurate.
For example, someone believes that there are human vampires who feed on the energy of other people. And then, if he regularly becomes ill when communicating with a specific person, he can interpret: "Here is a real vampire who feeds on my energy." And he decides to avoid communication, use countermeasures, etc. Although the reason may be that the "victim of vampirism" actualizes unconscious fear (the interlocutor reminds him of someone from the past) or, conversely, unconscious trust, when, "investing" in communication and not receiving what was expected, the person corny "burns out ". The interlocutor has nothing to do with it - it is the person himself who does something wrong. Meditation trains the ability to be aware - concentration on the chosen topic and awareness of all its aspects.
And it is also important to remember that intuition is not about predicting the inevitable, intuition speaks about the present (motives and activity) and about which future is most likely. If nothing is changed in the present. Accordingly, by changing something in the present (our attitude, strategies, goals, working through desires and fears, etc.), we create new trends and a new scenario for the future. The stars do not pull us with them - the stars illuminate the road.
Intuition and experience
Intuition cannot be a substitute for experience and is not determined by experience itself. Good, systematic, meaningful experience (professionalism) allows us to more accurately guide intuition and describe what we read in more precise terms. This, again, is like in GPS: the device will draw the road without loaded maps, and therefore the route can be returned. But without maps (past experience) it is difficult to see the situation as a whole and new interesting directions-opportunities.
Intuition is receptivity, and systemic experience is knowledge of "relief". In a pair - the perfect result. Intuition will be as sophisticated as possible if we “apply” it to those areas where we have good systemic experience. Without experience, intuition will also work, but in very general categories: I feel, but I cannot name.
Technician repair technician quickly and easily diagnoses equipment, as he knows its structure. If you have good intuition, this is unlikely to help you repair the car (if you are not an expert), but feeling that it is time to go to the master will help.
“Bad”, inadequate experiences usually have a dramatic effect on the work of intuition - it is something like outdated maps in GPS: they distort the information received (see the previous example about vampires). To "intuitive" the topic of relationships, it is important to have a good understanding of how relationships work, how they form, develop and end.
To "intuitive" in marketing, it is important to have a good understanding of how the company and the market work, how they interact.
In order to "intuitively" in the topic of health, it is important to understand how the body works and how it functions.
Intuition is only one of the mental processes. For adequate functioning in life, it must be good with will, and with thinking, and with feelings.
Interference
Once again about what violates intuition and causes distrust of it.
Uncertainty or ambiguity of goals
Medicine: be determined.
Stereotypes, imprecise or incomplete knowledge
The cure: Explore and learn subject areas.
Desires and fears
Remedy: know and heal yourself.
Accurate compass
A well-functioning, “pure” intuition is a guarantee of a person's adequacy and resilience in stressful and crisis conditions, situations of a high degree of uncertainty. Even without really understanding the essence of what is happening around us, or even not understanding it at all, thanks to intuition we can make accurate decisions, realize our ambitions and avoid dangerous situations.
It is enough to use several criteria for intuitive reading of information:
- Me: does it make me stronger or weaker (does it make me more whole or destroy me)?
- Environment: How does it affect my environment (destroys, preserves, develops)?
- Destiny: Do my decisions create future problems or create new opportunities?
If you have good inner alignment (a sense of yourself and your boundaries, an accurate understanding of your goals and interests), these questions are quite enough to manage your intuition in situations of any complexity and uncertainty.
Intuition - our internal GPS - functions so that we have the opportunity to realize our intentions and goals, ambitions and desires as accurately, efficiently and environmentally as possible, to cope with the challenges that fall to our lot. And this navigator works constantly, it is important to learn how to use it.
