What Is Intuition?

What is intuition? In my experience, intuition is an incredible resource. It is an ability to get direct understanding and insight about something, situations or people, without the need to involve the mental and rational side of who we are.

And still it’s likely that when we ask different people the question, “What is intuition?” each person will have a different  answer. This is because intuition is an ‘instinctive knowing’, which can be experienced in many ways by each individual, rather than something that you can easily classify in a box and attach an objective meaning on it.

From its latin roots ‘intueri’, Intuition means ‘to look inside’, which provides a simple answer to “what is intution?”: all of us have within ourselves answers and knowledge that we can access and rely on at any given moment.

What is intution sometimes called?

Some people refer to Intuition with different terminologies. Some call it Sixth sense, others call it ‘gut feeling’, and others may relate to it as the ‘inner voice’ or Higher self. Whichever way you choose to resonate with it, I personally like the word Intuition because it has a ‘sheer’ feel to it. You can’t really hitch on any type of esoteric, occult or mystical connotation, which is still today a reason for many to create a default attitude to skepticism. The word Intuition has its own integrity, it is there and it is available all the time, it doesn’t interfere or demand anything from us, unless we ask for guidance.

Intuition is nothing really extraordinary or paranormal. I believe that every human being is born with this ability and that like anything else in life, Intuition gets clearer and sharper if trained with ongoing practice and awareness. It is an extra muscle that is available to us and that can be incredibly useful in our day to day life. So why not use utilize it?

What Is intuition For Individuals?

It may be that no everyone is or will feel drawn to develop their Intuition. For some it will be very natural to do so and they feel easily in touch with innate gift. For others it may be intriguing and their curiosity will lead them to explore Intuition and for others it may not be interesting at all.

The main important thing is to respect and acknowledge that not every single individual has the same need. After working for many years in this field I came to see that Intuition implements the ability to respect other individuals and their decisions, whilst at the same time relinquishing us from pointing the finger and living in blame.
