Unfolding Intuition
Buddha means “enlightened, awakened One” who knows, perceives, sees from the inside. Buddhi = intuition or, as I like to say, “the teacher within.”
So how can we develop our intuition? The monks retreat from the world and spend time in meditation and contemplation. Not exactly ‘escaping’ as some westerners might suggest — because they’re actively learning about the intuitive inner world of the Mind.
Is it beneficial?
Intuition is helpful, because sometimes it leads you to something that cannot be achieved otherwise. A lot of lives have been saved by intuition alone. (Sixth sense). Decisions are easier made if armed with this gift. Develop intuition now and reap benefits you have never imagined.
Have you had that experience when all of a sudden you just had this huge hunch that something is about to happen, and to your surprise, that intuition was eventually translated into reality?
When you feel strongly about something without logical basis to it, that’s called intuition. It comes in three impressions: 1. clairvoyance or “the third eye”, 2. sensing clearly and 3. feeling through listening.
Clairvoyance is when your eye goes beyond what it can see. This is when you know what is happening somewhere.
Sensing clearly is basically what we refer to as “hunch” or “gut feel.” This is the time when you are overwhelmed with a feeling and you can’t explain it and all you can say is “I just know.”
On the other hand, feeling through listening or clairaudience is being able to “listen” between the lines. Intuition also happens at times when a certain sound, whatever it is - be it a car’s honk or a bird’s twitting - ushers in an intense feeling.
They say only a number of people are gifted with strong intuition. Astrologers even insist that people born under the Scorpio or Pisces signs are naturally intuitive. It almost borders on E.S.P. but psychological studies have been sprouting left and right that proclaim that anyone can develop intuition.
Use Hypnosis?
Hypnosis is not limited to watching a pendulum move back and forth. Perform self-hypnosis or you can avail of recorded hypnotic programs that can strengthen your intuition.
Use Meditation?
Meditating means finding peace in yourself. If your mind and heart are cluttered with too much baggage and emotional hurt, you wouldn’t be able to quiet down that part of you that could eventually initiate pure intuition. There are so many ways to meditate: take a yoga class, or just simply practice some breathing exercises and focus techniques that could bring you straight to Zen. The paradise of a clear, stilled mind.
Positive Thoughts -> Emotions?
A worry-free, fear-free state could do so much to improve your intuitive ability. By staying positive, you attract good energy that would be able to easily recognize imminent feelings and events. You begin to cause positive emotions and outcomes in others, too!
Relax and Let Go?
What does this mean? If you are on the brink of making a huge decision, let go of all the inhibitions and head to a quiet place where you could find out where the letting go has brought you. Sometimes you just have to listen to the voice within you, and that voice wouldn’t come out unless you let go. Let yourself get in touch with your deeper sub-conscious levels …
Intuitive First Impressions Are Powerful?
When you see someone for the first time and think that he is a bit too arrogant for your taste, chances are that impression actually holds true. Most of the time, first impressions are brought by intuition. Billions of tiny bits of information have already been processed unconsciously!
Be HAPPY and Well …
See? All you need to be intuitive is to stay happy! Happiness attracts immense power and such power includes intuition. In tapping your intuition, your motivation must be happiness and contentment. Given that premise, intuition will fall to you easily.
