DEVELOPING YOUR INTUITION

---

Intuition is a powerful and often elusive phenomenon. Sometimes referred to as a "sixth sense" a "gut feeling" or a "hunch". It is an ability that we all have to some degree. Some people have strong intuition, while others may not feel as connected to their intuitive sense.

It can be thought of as a form of subconscious processing, where our brain is picking up on subtle signals and patterns that we may not be aware of consciously.

Intuition is not the same as instinct, which is more basic and automatic intuition response to a situation. Instincts are hardwired into your biology while intuition is a more complex and abstract phenomenon involving sensory input, emotions, and past experiences.

How does Intuition work?

Scientists are still trying to understand exactly how automatic intuition works, but there are a few theories. One theory is that our brains are constantly processing information at a subconscious level, and intuition is the result of that processing. Another theory is that intuition is a form of pattern recognition, where our brains pick up on subtle cues and make connections that we may not be aware of consciously. Intuition can also be influenced by our emotions and past experiences. For example, if we've had a negative experience in the past, our intuition may tell us to avoid a similar situation in the future, even if we can't consciously remember the details of the previous experience.
