10 REASONS WHY YOU ARE ALREADY INTUITIVE

Before you say to yourself, “Oh, I’m not really intuitive,” think about these ten ways that you regularly rely on your intuition without even thinking about it:

1. Sense of being stared at.
Did you ever find yourself standing in a line and get the feeling to turn around for no reason? And when you did, you found that someone was absent mindedly staring straight at you and quickly looked away? Where did that feeling come but from intuition?
2. “Give me a moment. It’ll come to me.”
Were you ever mentally blocked and said “Give me a moment. It’ll come to me”? And then it did come to you? But where did it come from—memory, the subconscious, intuition, or from somewhere else through the non-material “radio receiver” that seems to play in the background of our lives?
3. “Let me sleep on it.”
Did you ever face a question that you were uncertain about and decide to leave the final decision until the next morning, and when you awoke the next morning, you felt you had the right answer and went with it? What you did was give your question to your nighttime intuition expecting an answer. Here’s what basketball’s reigning MVP LeBron James said when asked about when he had made up his mind about joining another team: “The last time I changed my mind was probably in my dreams. And when I woke up this morning I knew it was the right decision.”
4. The problem you solved at work.
Did you ever have a problem in your work that you didn’t know how to solve at first, but then you did solve? If you’re like most, you studied the problem to find out all you could about why you couldn’t quickly solve it. Then, you likely went on to something else, putting the unsolved problem aside. Suddenly, at lunch, or working on something else, or when someone said something pertinent, the solution popped into your head, and you solved the problem. What happened here? You turned the problem over to your intuition to solve, and, working with the research you did to understand the problem, your intuition solved it for you, as it likely does on the many occasions in your work when a problem comes to you without an immediate solution.
5. Commuting.
And speaking of work, have you ever had the experience of leaving your house and arriving at your workplace with a good thought about what you were going to do at work that day, but with almost no memory of what had happened around you during the trip to work? What happened here? During the commute, your mind was likely in the “alpha state” (8-12 brainwaves per second) where day dreaming and intuition frequently occur. Wasn’t it intuition that created the good thought while you were making the trip?
6. Hunch.
Did you ever have a strong hunch that proved absolutely correct when you followed it? Here’s how the Chilean president charged in 2010 with the responsibility for trapped miners expressed it: “I had a kind of inner voice that told me, ‘Keep searching, keep searching, don’t give up.’”
7. Listening to your inner voice.
Have you ever followed a strong feeling to do something that you wouldn’t normally have done if you hadn’t had the strong feeling to do it? Then you are in good company: many of the world’s enduring religions (including Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam) were all founded by people who heard and followed their inner voice.
8. Intuitive healing.
Medical intuitives, like Carolyn Myss and Dr. Mona Lisa Shultz today, have existed throughout history. And we all exercise a bit of intuitive diagnosis and healing when we simply go to bed with a harsh cold rather than continuing with our daily chores.
9. Inspiration.
Have you ever had a thought just “pop” into your head? Many famous novels, songs, inventions, and solutions have just “popped” into people’s heads. An inspiration is a thought that we didn’t intentionally create. Where but from intuition do inspirations come?
10. Attraction.
Have you ever had the experience of instantly liking someone you meet? Did you immediately feel “in sync” with them? Why do we vote for one candidate for office over another? Because it “feels” right. That’s intuition.

You use intuition every day without even thinking about it. You are very intuitive.
