Intuition, aka the sixth sense or inner voice. What is it and what impact does it have on our lives? How to hear it and is it possible to develop it? Intuition is a certain superpower that makes it possible to obtain information that is inaccessible to most people, without solving assigned problems, but following an inner feeling of what should be done. Intuition is the voice of our unconscious. For the first time K.G. began to talk about this. Jung, who created the theory of the collective unconscious, which reflects almost the entire set of ideas that find their way out in the form of intuition. The most important condition for opening the door of intuition is the rejection of thinking stereotypes, attempts to logically predict the outcome and excessive intellectualization. From the point of view of neurobiology, intuition is closely related to emotional memory. It is emotional memory that finds answers to all sorts of questions in our experience. The right hemisphere of the brain, responsible for processing non-verbal information, spatial orientation, imagination, dreams, also contains all of our intuitive abilities. This is where all the senses send information. The right hemisphere is able to evaluate the picture as a whole and instantly. It compares the external picture with our archetypal image in the unconscious and sends a certain signal in the form of an emotion, a reaction of the body or a sudden thought. This signal is perceived by us as an inner voice. The “quality” of our intuition is influenced by experience, empathy and imagination. Nikolai Lossky, the founder of intuitionist philosophy, distinguished emotional, physical and mental intuition. If a person sees a solution to a problem in the form of images, symbols, then he has emotional intuition. If you tend to trust your body and its signals, then you have physical intuition. Mental intuition occurs when solutions to problems come to you in the form of thoughts. Everyone has intuition. However, for some, the inner voice speaks often and loudly, for others it speaks rarely and quietly. If a person is able to listen subtly enough to sensations and their slightest change, then we can say that intuition skills are quite well developed. This manifests itself in such a way that a feeling of fear, anxiety, discomfort that suddenly arises in the body is a signal that events are taking a negative turn. On the contrary, when the brain reads that everything is going well, dopamine is released and the person feels peace and joy. Conversations, snatches of phrases, signs, chance encounters - through any signs, intuition can tell you the answer to an exciting question. Scientists have found that people with good intuition are 5 times less likely to have accidents and are susceptible to injuries, 2-3 times less likely to suffer from heart disease and neuroses, and 5 times less likely to have heart attacks. The main advantage of the sixth sense is helping us make decisions , in which logic is powerless, it also: helps to quickly find the right solutions, suggests when they are trying to deceive us, warns about danger, helps to be in the right place at the right time, can even save lives, helps to avoid mistakes and dangerous situations. How to develop intuition? It is believed that the development of intuition and extrasensory perception becomes relevant mostly in adulthood, since the child initially possesses intuitive skills, it is simply that after socialization and the dominance of a logical approach to decision, intuitive skills atrophy. One of the practices for the development of intuition: it is necessary sit in the most comfortable place, relax and, gradually turning off the internal dialogue, ask yourself obvious questions (is it day outside? - yes; am I sitting on the couch? - yes), in order to track your body’s reaction to the answers. At first these should be questions with a positive answer, after a certain number of times – with a negative answer. In this case, it is necessary to record any reactions of the body to the response. Then you will be able to identify a certain pattern between the answers to the questions and the “responses” of the body: warmth in the chest, tingling, twitching of the eyelid and!
