Modern life is very dynamic. The processes that take place in economics and politics and are reflected in the daily life of every person do not give an opportunity to think. Modern times require every person to make decisions as quickly and continuously as possible, often on an intuitive level. Every person has a sixth sense or intuition, it always knows the correct answers to questions, helps people make the right decisions in a timely manner.
Everyone understands perfectly well that intuition exists, but not everyone realizes what its essence is. In psychology, intuition is understood as the ability to instantly understand what is happening outside of conscious control, without resorting to reasoning and conscious inferences. This term has Latin roots and in translation means carefully, intently look. Even ancient philosophers said that in order to solve any problem, it is always necessary to supplement logical thinking with intuition. Goethe learned about the concept of "intuition" from Spinoza, and later gave it his own definition as "exact fantasy." From a religious point of view, intuition is seen as the voice of God in man. Esotericists often refer to various manifestations of intuition, in particular, premonition, clairvoyance. And in the modern dictionary of the Russian language Ozhegov, intuition is interpreted,as a direct comprehension of the truth without preliminary logical reasoning.
Intuition is the ability of a person to feel certain information and find the correct answers to certain questions without any evidence whatsoever. People who have intuition are able to solve complex problems, passing them not only through consciousness, but also through the subconscious. And some experts say that intuition is a kind of insight.
The meaning of intuition is to summarize all the information that a person receives from the inner and outer world, purposeful or random, negative and positive. According to scientists, every second the human senses perceive at least 10 million bits of information, of which 80 percent is visual perception of shapes and colors. Of this number, only 20-30 unconscious sensations become conscious. Intuition can quickly process this information, highlight the most important, most important points and prompt what and how to do. With intuitive cognition, a person is not aware of all the signs due to which the conclusion is carried out, and those techniques with the help of which it is done. The most important thing at such moments is to listen and trust your inner voice,which leads to the most optimal result, which does not require any evidence. Intuition manifests itself in inner faith: a person knows how and what to do, and believes that it is right.
Modern society has great respect for the intuitive qualities of people, because the most successful professionals are distinguished by a high level of intuition development. It should be noted that people who managed to achieve significant success in life due to the ability to predict future events have been at all times.
Thanks to intuition, even in moments of danger, when there is not enough time for logical reasoning, a person can avoid a threat or even save his life.
In the presence of intuition, a person has such qualities as openness and attentiveness, self-confidence and self-respect. In the event that a person is not able to maintain these qualities in relative balance, experiences self-doubt and suffers from complexes, intuition is blocked. Therefore, a person must strive to have both correct thoughts and impressions corresponding to them. It is the correct ideas about the surrounding reality that provide information for intuition.
Emotional, physical and mental intuition is distinguished depending on the type of thinking. People who have emotional intuition perceive information in images, people with physical intuition experience physical discomfort in the process of making a wrong decision (feeling of lack of air, heaviness in the body). And people with mental intuition receive various information.

Scientists argue that for a successful understanding between the sexes, it is necessary to take into account their psychological characteristics. In relationships, women are more likely to feel, while men choose the path of reason. In male perception, the main place is occupied by what he sees. In women, the lion's share of impressions is associated with the perception of speech. Hence, the famous saying that a man loves with his eyes and a woman with his ears must have been born. Women focus on small things, while men assess the situation as a whole. By numerous small signals - facial expressions, hand movements, body position - women are much more observant than men, and this is the source of the well-known female intuition. As a rule, women's intuition is based on the ability of women to simultaneously perceive all kinds of information: to see, hear,feel and combine it all into a single whole. Male intuition is based on logical analysis.
Women's intuition is somewhat fictional, a fusion of a natural ability to understand and speak in body language and experience. At the same time, it must be said that women's intuition, starting in the sphere of human relations, ends there, and in the objective world it is not really worth relying on it. It is much more difficult for women to predict the future, because they see what is "here and now". In addition, if women's intuition begins to be influenced by her moods, emotions, fears and hopes, then there will be much more erroneous decisions.
It must be said that in addition to the division into masculine and feminine, intuition is divided into rational and mystical. Rational is based on experience, therefore it has its limits. Mystical intuition has no framework. It is very simple to distinguish between these two types of intuition: if the prediction is within certain reasonable limits, this is rational intuition, if the prediction is beyond the boundaries of reality, this is mystical intuition.
People who believe in everything mystical admit the existence of Higher powers and the possibility of establishing contact with them. For such people, intuition is a way of penetrating into a special space in which all the secrets of the world can be revealed to them, and the future will become known. Belief in mysticism and mystical intuition has no scientific evidence, but from a human point of view, it is quite understandable. In situations where there is not enough data for making a decision and it is necessary to calculate all the risks, taking full responsibility for himself, a person needs a certain mitigating factor - a hint of intuition. And the more insecure a person is, the more difficult it is for him to make decisions, and the more often he turns not to reason, but to intuition.
Intuition is a tool that you can and should use. For example, American industrial giants invest heavily in developing the intuitive abilities of their employees. And a psychologist from the USA Marsha Emery, studying people with increased intuition, came to the conclusion that they are 7 times less likely to receive various injuries, 5 times less likely to get into accidents, just as rarely get heart attacks, 2 times less likely to suffer from cardiovascular diseases, get sick viral infections and get food poisoning, 3 times less likely to suffer from neuroses.
American scientists have found that intuition is best developed in artists, musicians, actors and writers. Only 3 percent of people have a highly developed intuition and use it consciously, and another 20 percent of people periodically listen to their inner voice.
Intuition is inherent in every person, just few people understand the mechanism of its work. But in fact, everything is very simple: you need to learn to hear it, listen and understand. For this, in turn, you need to be able to control your attention in order to direct it to the right point at a certain moment and keep it as needed. Before you start to trust your own intuition, you need to learn to feel it, be able to separate lies from truth, fantasy from the sixth sense.
The development of the sixth sense is inextricably linked with the synchronization of the work of both hemispheres of the brain - left and right. The right hemisphere is responsible for emotions and intuition, the left for logic. The left hand is connected to the right hemisphere, and the right hand is connected to the left.
For the development of intuition, there are special exercises, the essence of which is to constantly train the skill of determining the correct decision using intuition. By training the left hand, you can develop the right hemisphere of the brain, and, therefore, intuition. It is very simple to do this: just take the copybooks for first graders and start filling them out, but write not with your right hand, but with your left. Or just draw or write something, also with your left hand. In theory, this kind of training can give good results. If you are lazy to train on purpose or do not have enough time, you can try to do some of the homework with your left hand.
Meditation also contributes to the development of human intelligence, the combination of all factors of mental activity and a single organization, harmonization of the emotional sphere, and the acquisition of a qualitatively new way of thinking. Modern scientific research has proven that with a calm state of consciousness, which is achieved during meditation, the work of the cerebral hemispheres is synchronized, which has a significant effect in the development of not only thinking, but also intuition.
It is difficult to do without intuition even in the simplest situations. And very often a person simply does not notice that he made a decision intuitively. It is necessary to observe signs, images and pictures, because intuition speaks to a person precisely in the language of unclear and incomprehensible at first glance signs. You need to believe in yourself, trust your feelings, then life will become much easier.
