How to learn to hear your intuition. How to hear your intuition
How often has it happened that we felt the phone ringing even before it rang. On top of that, already knowing in advance who will be on the other side of the telephone. Or, let’s say, you woke up with the feeling that today would bring some kind of surprise. And one day something prevented us from boarding a plane, which crashed an hour after takeoff. The last example is, of course, scary, but this also happens.
How do we sense signs of this or that danger? How do we feel the approach of something pleasant or, conversely, events that bring disappointment? Where does this inner voice come from that tells you what to do in a certain situation? For many people this voice is good friend, whose name intuition. Why can’t every person boast of good intuition and how to learn to develop it?
How to hear your intuition?
To begin with, it should be noted that absolutely every person on Earth has intuition, just for some, and for others to a lesser extent. Moreover, our sixth sense becomes dull with age, when we more often begin to use only our reason to solve various problems and tasks.
So that the bustle and everyday ups and downs of life do not drown out our inner assistant, first of all and in no case. Such people often do not trust themselves and therefore begin to listen only to the advice of others, while completely forgetting about their own capabilities. Thus, a person involuntarily closes the only window through which one can.
Also, learn to consult your intuition by asking yourself questions. Questions should have one-word answers: yes or no. Remember that the inner voice cannot talk to you in the literal sense of the word; intuition works through sensations, images, impressions, and smells. For example, if you ask yourself: “Is it worth collaborating with a certain client,” and you feel an incomprehensible pressure in your chest or start to feel anxious, then you should think carefully before signing any contract with this person. It may turn out that he is dishonest. Be extremely careful.
To hear the message of your inner voice, sometimes it’s worth taking a break from everyday problems, seclusion, and meditating in order to better hear the answers to the questions that interest you. Abstracted from all others unnecessary thoughts and the bustle of the outside world, you will be able to better analyze your problem, find the right ways to solve it and feel your attitude towards it. If joy and calm respond in response, you can safely continue to walk in this direction, and you will definitely find a way out. If you feel anger or malice, these are the first signs that the venture you are deciding on will not bear fruit.
And the last piece of advice, sometimes you need to turn off logic and reason in order to understand the true meaning of the message of your intuition. If you suddenly feel some impulse towards certain actions, but logic tells you that the action does not justify the means, muffle it and try to follow your intuition. And see what happens. As they say: “He who does not take risks...”
Each of us has abilities that, if desired, will help change our lives.
Superpower #1: Intuition
Personal experience
Olga is an aspiring financier, a very rational and materialistic girl. Any decisions are made after carefully weighing all “debits” and “credits”. However, one day she discarded very serious advantages, listening only to. And I was right!
“I very meticulously chose a job, went to interviews for more than three months, and then the leader of my career preferences emerged - a large international company that offered me a solid salary, bonuses, foreign trips, growth prospects... But for some reason I could not accept the final decision, I still doubted it. Gathering my willpower, I said “yes” and waited for my first working Monday. But I couldn't sleep all Sunday night. I understood only one thing: I don’t want to go there, I don’t want to! My mind told me that I was a weirdo, that such a chance only came around a couple of times in my life. And an inner voice quietly whispered: “Please, let’s not go...” Closer to the morning, I sat down at the computer and wrote a letter of apology to my awkward boss. Only eight months later did I find out that the project I was invited to was closed. From then on I became..."
How does it work?
The thing is that our brain receives millions of signals from the outside world every second. Plus, it stores information about all the situations that happened to us in the past. But we consciously process only a small part of it, the most important at the moment. Everything else seems to happen in the background. This method of analysis on a subconscious level is intuition. Olga probably noticed weak signals that something was wrong with this position. Maybe the intonation of the interviewer, or one or two strange, inappropriate questions, or the way the employees looked at her when she walked past... Separately, they were meaningless facts, but all together they summed up in a vague feeling of “something is wrong here.” "
Superpower #2: Dreaming
Personal experience
Marina came to a consultation with a psychologist very confused. Two months ago she received a marriage proposal. Her gentleman fit well into the “Prince Charming” category: handsome, kind, interesting, successful... Attention, question! Why then did the girl go to a psychologist, and not to wedding stylist? It turned out that after the engagement she suddenly began to suffer from attacks of fear and even panic. Why? Dont clear!
Then she suggested an experiment to Marina: keep a dream diary and write down your dreams, if possible, after every night. After two weeks, a plot began to emerge: in almost all of her dreams, the girl lost her freedom. Either she was pulled into a swamp, then she was taken prisoner, then she got stuck in a narrow labyrinth, then her mouth filled with sand and she could not speak... At a consultation, the psychologist suggested linking this with the events of the present. Certainly, family life suggests the loss of some freedom, but why does the unconscious protest so strongly?
The psychologist drew attention to a detail: in several dreams, one way or another, a certain letter appeared. She asked the client what letter had excited her recently. And she remembered - an email from the “Study Abroad” mailing list. It came almost immediately after the engagement; the organizers offered a super-interesting program in the specialty, but the start of the year-long study in Helsinki coincided with Moscow! “Igor will not approve,” flashed through her thoughts, she quickly sent the letter to the trash. But a trace remained in my soul. As a result, Igor and Marina had to reconsider many aspects of their relationship. Before Marina left for Helsinki, they modestly signed. Now the girl is finishing her studies, and Igor is going to move in with her.
How does it work?
You can better understand yourself, your emotions and relationships, what experiences and situations require completion and mental work. The easiest way is to keep a dream diary and re-read and analyze it from time to time.
Deja vu
From French, the name of this mysterious condition is translated as “already seen.” Some people associate deja vu with the ability to predict the future, some believe that this is evidence of our ability to astral travel in a dream, and some even claim that this is evidence of reincarnation, they say. similar situations happened to us in past lives.
Of course, everyone chooses for themselves what to believe in: in, transmigration of souls or the gift of prediction. And for skeptics and materialists, there is a scientific explanation for this phenomenon: a certain part of our brain is responsible for image recognition (with its help we divide incoming information into “seen” and “unseen” before). With strong emotional arousal, some “confusion” occurs in this area and even completely new signals are recognized as familiar, and a feeling of recognition appears. If you regularly experience déjà vu, you may be very tired.
How to learn to hear
your inner voice...
The inner voice that tells us whether to take certain actions is usually called intuition. This ability is inherent in all living beings. It helps to avoid danger, suggests the moment when you can take a risk and get a big win, etc. But often people do not listen to the admonitions of their inner voice. No matter what he tells us, we will still do it differently, obeying the cold reasoning of reason. Many greatest people the past was considered an intuitive insight necessary tool knowledge of the surrounding world, often giving preference to the voice of the heart rather than the mind. Remember how the fox argues in “ The Little Prince» A. Saint-Exupery? “Only the heart is vigilant; you cannot see the most important things with your eyes.” And we, children of technogenic civilization, are accustomed to trusting the readings of instruments more than the voice of our own body, which has preserved ancient instincts. Intuition helps you connect to the cosmic information space and draw information from there or hear the memory of our ancestors carried through thousands and millions of years in human genes. 
A significant drawback of intuitive knowledge is its spontaneity: we cannot predict when the inner voice will provide us with the next hint. Representatives of psychological science have found through numerous experiments that intuitive knowledge manifests itself most often in extreme situations. By the way, our ancestors knew about this feature of the human psyche to mobilize in critical conditions and find a way out in difficult situations, but they attributed this to the intervention of higher powers.
One of the sources of intuition is life experience. The famous Swiss psychiatrist M. Luscher, the creator of the no less famous color test that bears his name, in his article “Is it possible to develop intuition in yourself?” writes that information through the senses enters the human brain continuously and in huge volumes – up to 10 million bits per second! However, we consciously perceive only about a few hundred thousandths of this volume. And how much information, until now unclaimed, accumulates in billions of brain cells! Intuition is what helps you take advantage of them. We can deny its existence and close our eyes and ears to its clues, but it exists and works. To receive precise instructions from signals that are in Everyday life The Universe sends us in the form of various material signs, we need to learn to trust the world around us and believe that there is a certain supreme law, according to which everything in the world, including ourselves, lives and develops.
To listen to your inner voice, you need to trust yourself and listen. The main obstacle on this path, oddly enough, is the human mind. The “intelligent” part of our brain makes up a twentieth of it; the rest is the work of the subconscious, in which sudden connections are instantly born, reflecting the indivisibility of the world and giving brilliant insights. The mind, whose main property is the analysis and subsequent classification of the information received, rejects everything that cannot be decomposed into clear components.
Universal laws that apply to everything and everyone around us are usually expressed not in simple and understandable words, but in symbols. A huge amount can be compressed into one word or image. important information, indivisible due to its universality. But, like behind mathematical formulas, we do not see any reality 
ity, so in the symbols sent to us by intuition, we cannot recognize the essence.
The voice of reason also rejects the so-called truisms. Have you noticed that at the moment of the highest tension of physical and emotional forces, for some reason, continuous platitudes creep into your head? The mind laughs at them, but they are the truth in the highest authority, which has stood the test of time and therefore is the quintessence of true knowledge.
The ability to listen to your inner voice and your mind at the same time ultimately gives an amazing effect, which seems quite difficult, but, believe me, it’s worth learning. Firstly, the channel of intuition in modern people is clogged with distrust of the world and oneself, inability to listen, and an abundance of various information that enters the brain through all 5 senses. Intuition, which is also rightly called the sixth sense, is not fed by information from the outside, but knows the answer to any question due to the indivisibility of the perception of the world. Clearing the intuitive channel, the ability to disconnect from excess information from the outside world - this is the first task.
The second difficulty is related to the lack of understanding of the voice of fate. We sometimes interpret clues incorrectly, if we do so at all. The language used by the inner voice is symbolic and often incomprehensible. Therefore, it is worth learning to decipher mysterious messages and understand the language of your own inner voice.
There are people who do not hear their inner voice. But this does not mean that he does not try to shout to his owners. There is a purely psychological reason for this, which extinguishes the ability to intuitively perceive the world and, figuratively speaking, plugs your ears. This is a blockage of consciousness. To learn to use the help of intuition, you need to find and remove blocks from consciousness. Their causes are any unpleasant incidents in the past associated with the involuntary use of intuition. This has happened to every person. Usually the situation is simple: you did not listen to the signs of your inner voice, and misfortune happened. Consciousness drew a parallel between these two things and concluded that there was an obvious connection between them. But instead of heeding the warnings of intuition next time (and they make their way to our consciousness in the form of negative emotions and unpleasant sensations more often than signs of good luck and success), the mind put a block on any subconscious information, the consequence of which is trouble. Messengers of misfortune are not liked everywhere; in ancient times they were even punished, believing that they showed the way to grief and death.
Intuition appears today in the position of the mythical fortuneteller Cassandra, whose prophecies no one believed. Why should we be surprised at the troubles that happen in our lives? They could be so easily avoided if we were a little more attentive to the signs of our own intuition.
Channels of intuitive information.
Each person experiences the surrounding reality in his own way - emotionally, intellectually and logically, and guided by internal impulses caused by the contemplation of reality and its perception. And since each person has his own intuition, which depends on personal experience, there are a huge variety of types.
All people, without exception, have the ability to sense impending danger. This intuitive knowledge is associated with the ancient instinct of self-preservation (instinctive intuition). Also, everyone has a predisposition to a certain kind of action and behavior, which is due to individual personality characteristics and the influence of the momentary situation (dispositional intuition). Some people prefer to combine intuitive knowledge of the world with logical analysis and theoretical calculations; someone emotionally perceives the whole world and people, having a high capacity for empathy (sympathy, empathy). Some perceive the world through the prism of associations, instantly connecting two facts into a single chain (the chain of reasoning is not visible, but only the result - insight); others simply intuitively read the possible development of the situation and are rarely mistaken in their forecasts. The brain, every time it receives a task, knows its solution before the person realizes it. 
American psychologist A. Damasio conducted an interesting experiment. 4 decks of cards were placed on the table (2 with blue backs and 2 with green backs), from which participants were asked to take any at random. On the cards was an amount that the “player” received as a win or gave to the bank as a loss. Initially, the cards in the decks were distributed so that the blue ones had more large wins and losses, and the green ones had smaller amounts, but there were significantly fewer opportunities to lose. Naturally, the subjects were not aware of this fact. As a result, it turned out that it took up to 50 attempts to realize this fact, after which the experiment participants no longer wanted to take cards from blue decks, fearing large losses, since winning was more obvious with green cards. But after 10–15 attempts, the brains of the participants recognized this principle, and every time the “master” reached for a dangerous deck, he signaled with all his might: at this moment, the participants’ hands were sweating a lot, and their heartbeats increased. All these physiological data, indicating a critical situation, were recorded by special sensors.
The famous Soviet pop artist V. Messing, performing in the genre of pop telepathy, had phenomenal abilities. His brain could not only accept a huge amount of information, but also process most of it, allowing it to issue unmistakable conclusions about the things hidden in the hall. He not only had subtle perception, but was also sensitive to the slightest changes in the behavior of the experimental viewer. However, he himself claimed that he did not know exactly how he did this: “... This is not reading thoughts, but, so to speak, “reading muscles”... When a person thinks intensely about something, brain cells transmit impulses to all muscles body. Their movements, invisible to the naked eye, are easily perceived by me. ...I often perform mental tasks without direct contact with the inductor. Here, my indicator can be the inductor’s breathing rate, the beat of his pulse, the timbre of his voice, the nature of his gait, etc.”
Other examples of such sensitivity can be given. A number of similar cases from many years of medical practice are described in the popular scientific literature. One day, an experienced doctor was invited to see a boy who was experiencing a nervous breakdown - he had been silent for several days. None of those around him could establish the reasons for such an anomaly, especially since the boy was usually talkative and sociable. Asking leading questions to the patient, the doctor determined from the pulse beat that he really wanted to get a dog and even brought home a stray dog, but his parents did not allow it. The doctor even managed to determine the dog's name! When the reason for this behavior was discovered and the problem was eliminated, the boy spoke again. 
Thus, the specifics of working with the inner voice are different for each of us. Someone perceives it through physicality, feeling changes in the physical state of their own body; other intuition clues are heard in emotions, positive or negative; For some, intuitive information is pure knowledge. The inner voice works based on information received from the outside, but does not classify it, but perceives it as a single ingot, sees all sorts of internal connections that the logical reasoning of the mind misses. Then all of them are issued using one of the intuitive channels. If it is easier for you to perceive the world in its physicality and materiality, listen to your physical and physiological sensations; if you are emotional, then your emotions are the key to deciphering the messages of your inner voice.
However, both of these channels are publicly available. And, by the way, we most often brush aside the intuitive information that they provide us. Think about the past, rummage through it, and you will probably remember several cases that are not entirely explainable from a logical point of view. For example, how many times has it happened that you didn’t want to go to work (to class) and you literally dragged yourself out of the house by your hair? But when they arrived at the place, it turned out that classes had been canceled, and there was no light or water at work all day. Your intuition warned you, but you didn’t listen, and the day was lost. Or cases from the business sphere: you were offered to invest a certain amount of money in a rather risky enterprise. This very thought caused a surge of positive emotions in you, your mood improved. But you remembered (your mind has already kicked in) that you don’t know the person from whom the offer is coming very well, and you don’t want to risk money. After some time, it turns out that those who took the risk received a worthy reward.
Of course, you should not rely only on intuitive insights, to the exclusion of any other sources of information, especially since intuitive clues can be incorrectly deciphered. And the inner voice itself sleeps under the influence of poor physical condition, depletion of biological energy, or is completely silent, tired of shouting down the everyday experience of its “owner”. 
From the point of view of signs and symbols, what and how you feel is important. You need to listen to yourself own desires and interests: emotions are the loudest clues from the inner voice. For example, figuring out where to go if your current path is full of failures can sometimes be easy. Are there things that you truly love, or activities that make you forget about bad mood and boredom? This is the path suggested by intuition. You should not think that your favorite hobby is associated only with costs and does not bring anything. Firstly, it gives a good mood and a desire to live and work; secondly, provided that, having listened to your inner voice, you try to earn money with its help, even if in addition to your main income, it will begin to make a profit.
Another universal hint from the inner voice is negative emotions (sudden anxiety, obsessive fears, causeless bad mood or irritation, etc.). So, boredom to the point of yawning means that you need to change the environment, goals and direction of movement.
If you do not want to turn your own hobby into a source of income, there is another way to make your own intuition speak. Go to the job site. Just scroll through them, read employers’ offers and mark everything you like. Do not make allowances for your age, skills and abilities that you possess, or the distance of the proposed place of work from home. Just look for what will put you in a good mood, make you smile involuntarily, lead you to Nice memories or associations. Positive emotions will suggest an area in which work will give you pleasure, and therefore bring benefits, because you will work with full dedication. When you have collected enough material, you can, based on the prompts of your inner voice, draw up a picture of the ideal job for you. To do this, you need to find out the area to which your soul strives, the particularly attractive characteristics of your future place of work. Express your aspirations to one in a short phrase. Finally, decide what you need to immediately start working in this capacity (perhaps special knowledge or initial capital). Most often it happens that everything seems to be there for this, but you just need a push that will set you in motion. Here your intuition is no help, and you will have to act on your own. In any case, you will not regret listening to your inner voice: a change of environment will bring new experiences, new friends and new emotions.
Working with the inner voice.
There are several simple rules that will allow you to hear your inner voice. The first is associated with turning off consciousness and being attentive to one’s own feelings. Sometimes it is only the abundance of unnecessary information that prevents us from listening to our inner voice, since it needs analysis and classification. The mind, connecting to the information channel, blocks the signs of intuition, since it does not trust everything that is illogical and intangible. He weeds out what is unnecessary, from his point of view, that which does not fit into a rational framework. Remember the work style of Scotland Yard Inspector Lestrade, the hero of A. Conan Doyle's novels about Sherlock Holmes: he collected several of the most striking facts and evidence at the crime scene and built a version of the crime based on them. He simply did not take into account all the data that did not fit into this picture. It is not surprising that he never solved a single complex crime, where not everything is as obvious as it seems at first glance.
Therefore the first rule – avoid external excess data coming through the senses, and listen to information coming from the subconscious. Set your task free, give the solution time to “mature and manifest itself.” In general, one should work with intuition “by touch”: in order to get the correct answer, the intuition does not need to know the question at all.
Another negative quality of the human mind is stubbornness. Today everyone is practicing the so-called Success System, one of the most important aspects of which is developing the ability to set goals. It's simple: you set goals, and your subconscious, with the help of the Universe, does everything according to your wishes. All this is wonderful, if not for one “but”. Very often, along with our goals, we also think through the path along which we will go towards this goal. The Universe offers paths shorter than those we have chosen, intuition whispers various techniques with the help of which what we want is achieved much faster. But we stubbornly rush forward along the road that we have determined for ourselves, and close our eyes and ears to all the hints and detours. The mind is very stubborn and does not want to turn aside. Yes, we ultimately achieve our goal, but we spend so much effort and time on it, and most importantly, nerves!
Second rule– listen to your own feelings, physical and emotional. Let memories and quotes flash through your head. Associations will help you understand what your inner voice wanted to tell you. The main thing is not to miss the slightest detail from the first sensations, so it is important to say, without stopping and without thinking, everything that comes to mind. Use a voice recorder to record or ask someone close to you to record your monologue without omitting anything. Finally, once you recognize the question posed to your inner voice, learn to interpret the signs. As has been said more than once, it is the solution to the signs that often confuses people. This is quite difficult and requires a certain skill, especially since the pieces of the puzzle are scattered, often many of them are not enough to complete the picture. Your inner voice offers you these separate fragments, and leaves it to you to put them together into a single picture. When a coherent and logical answer does not work out, come up with one! You must trust your inner voice; This is the hardest thing to learn.
Of course, learning to listen to your inner voice requires training. There is special literature devoted to this issue. Here we will offer only a few well-known techniques.
First, you need to decide what type of intuition you have and what kind of intuitive information you receive (sensory, associative, verbal or bodily). To do this you need to connect memory and reason. First, remember various times when you think you took cues from your inner voice; The more similar cases you remember, the better. Then, when you have collected material for analysis, distribute all cases into groups depending on the channel through which the information came to you, for example, through positive or negative emotions; with an arbitrary association that was a response to asked question; feeling unwell, intrusive sounds or smells, etc.
Conclude how it is easier for you to hear your inner voice - in wordplay, smells and sounds. Perhaps clear pictures pass before your mind's eye, or you just suddenly feel that your body is giving out some strange reactions. Once you have done all this, you will be able to identify your own intuitive channel.
If visual information only clogs the intuitive channel (most of the information that enters our brain is what is transmitted through the visual channel), perhaps other organs are connected to the inner voice with stronger ties. For example, smell. For representatives of the animal world, smell and its change speak volumes. People do not have such a keen sense of smell as our smaller brothers, but still the ability to capture the finest odors is quite well developed. The brain receives this information and sends signals to the body that consciousness cannot always respond to. Eric Berne, in his work on intuition, writes: “The fact that we are not aware of the presence of a smell does not mean that it does not affect our emotional attitude. Smells can change the content of dreams without being perceived as smells.” They can also be a source of intuitive information.
When working with the inner voice, it is always important to remember that the subconscious, the main source of our intuition, works with an undifferentiated picture of reality. For him, any situation is seen as a whole. When it receives a question (sometimes we don’t even know that it has already been formulated), it immediately gives a possible scenario for the development of events, seeing connections at a level inaccessible to consciousness. To develop the ability to connect various data with chains of associations, it is enough to force both hemispheres to work in a coordinated manner. However, this is easier said than done. The exercises aimed at this are quite complex. The point is that you need to learn to combine incompatible things and perform several dissimilar actions at the same time. For example, there is an exercise for children “Goat and Cow”, which is also suitable for our purposes. It is necessary to show the “goat” with the fingers of one hand, and the “cow” with the fingers of the other, protruding forefinger and little finger. Both figures are performed simultaneously. To begin with, you don’t need to take a high tempo; perform the exercise at a speed that will allow you to avoid getting tangled in your own fingers. Recommendation: when you are just starting to master the exercise, it is more convenient to pronounce the names of the figures, silently or out loud.
When you no longer get lost, begin to increase the pace. In addition to the fact that this exercise coordinates the work of both hemispheres of the brain, it also develops attentiveness and teaches concentration.
How does your intuition speak to you? Through internal and external sensations. To catch them without missing the smallest nuances, you must learn to pronounce everything that comes to mind. The fact is that consciousness is responsible for speech. It builds a phrase in a logical sequence, organizes entire texts, whether monological or dialogical; forces you to choose words and constructions, topics of conversation, etc. The same applies to written speech, only it is even more organized and subject to the logic of reason. While all slips and slips are the work of the subconscious, it is through them that our intuition speaks. From all of the above, we conclude: in order to “awaken” our inner voice, we need to learn to speak without stopping, without choosing words and expressions, jumping from topic to topic, while getting rid of the control of consciousness. This is very difficult, since at first the mind constantly intervenes and tries to dictate its laws. To get rid of its pressure, you need to approach a state close to meditative.
It happens that people, faced with the need to speak without stopping for at least a few minutes, seem to be speechless. Words suddenly disappear somewhere, not a single thought comes to mind. This happens, for example, when you talk on the phone with a person who, by and large, has nothing to say. And it is necessary. Learn to pronounce everything that literally comes into your head. Let the words flow like a river. It will be good if at first one of your relatives or friends helps you. Their job is to "talk" you by asking questions and not let you stop. It is better to record this stream of consciousness, or rather the subconscious, on a voice recorder. Remember, when you speak, forcing your consciousness to remain silent, your inner voice speaks. It reveals connections and associations that you don't see. Don't disturb him, don't try to connect fragmentary details together. You can do this later by listening to the recording. Perhaps it will become clear to you what pressing question in your life is answered by intuition. The fact is that the subconscious, better than you yourself, knows all your problems, requests, questions and goals. They are born there and do not always manage to break through to the level of consciousness, to move into the category of “put in line for decision, implementation.” Listen to the voice of intuition, and you will learn a lot about yourself. Don't be afraid to speak: you will find the words!
Then, analyzing the information obtained in this way, you will notice with interest that absolutely everything you say falls into 3 blocks:
The first consists of comments and logical insertions of reason. He enters into your monologue as soon as you allow him to, and corrects what is said;
The 2nd block is the results of the imagination. It also enters the work with permission, and sometimes, when there is absolutely nothing to say, and under his compulsion: this is easy to track from the recording. For example, you fell silent, losing all your words at once, but then, with an effort of will, you clung to the last word spoken and continued the phrase, inventing its ending;
The 3rd block consists of images, thoughts, sensations and words that first came to your mind. This is the voice of the subconscious.
You need to pay attention to the information from all three blocks when analyzing, without missing anything. Signals coming from consciousness need to be monitored. Sometimes it happens that they interfere with concentration, and this irritating factor is worth paying attention to. If something persistently “crashes” into your head, and the brain fixates on this factor in such a way that it is impossible to distract it, then it is important. Listen to those “interferences” when nothing else comes to mind and they occupy all your attention: this can also be an inner voice. 
Imagination is also necessary because it helps the work of intuition. After all, consciousness is only the starting point of the imagination, and then free associations come into play, launching the subconscious and all the information stored there. Finally, signals received specifically from intuition must be carefully analyzed and, if you wish, coherent answers can be composed from them at first.
When the first steps have been mastered, and you have learned to voice the voice of intuition without restraining it with consciousness, you need to move on. To hear the prompts of your inner voice and heed them, you need to trust it, we have already talked about this above. The famous multimillionaire Robert Kiosaki, the author of many books on developing the ability to be financially independent, writes that many people believe in God, but very few of them trust him, relying entirely on his kindness, justice, love and desire to help. Let us also add: it is with those who trust that things happen, popularly called miracles! In the case of intuition, the situation is similar: it is not enough to believe in its existence, you also need to listen to its advice. No, we are adults and reasonable, why are we going to act like children?! Yes, they trust their inner feelings and very rarely make mistakes. Adults are hampered by elementary mistrust. Introduce a special rule for yourself: live one day a week according to the advice of your inner voice. Now that you have learned to hear him, he will speak to you very confidently. Neither doubt nor reasoning should be taken into account: intuition never doubts or guesses. She knows.
So, what does it mean to “live by intuition”? You listen to your inner voice and go where it leads you, or, on the contrary, go nowhere. Choose the clothes (shoes, bus, movie session) that he will tell you; if suddenly there is a persistent desire to call a person whom you have not seen for many years, you do it without doubting or thinking about the result. This list can be continued endlessly, because in almost every case, intuition will give its recommendations. And the results will not be long in coming. For example, choosing a bright shirt will help support good and festive mood throughout the day, which means everything will be easy and fun. At a morning screening at the cinema (if you usually go to the cinema late in the evening, but then decided to listen to your inner voice), you will meet a school friend who has brought his children. It may provide the key to solving the long-standing problem of investing capital, finding a job, etc. If the question is “launched” in the information field, then there will definitely be an answer to it, and your intuition will lead you to it along the shortest path. An example from real life can be given. A certain young woman from a small provincial town decided to start searching new job, but they were to no avail. She was already desperate, but somehow she went to an exhibition of gems (which, by the way, she was never interested in) and met her old friend there. In a conversation with her, it turned out that she now works in Moscow and earns good money. And, remembering that our heroine is fluent in English, she suggested to her: “Move to Moscow. Our boss has two school-aged children, and he is just looking for a tutor for them. English language. The pay will be good." After some time, this young woman moved to the capital and got a job as a governess, while her employer provided her with housing. Once again you are convinced that it is not possible for us to predict where our paths lead, but for intuition this is not a mystery.
AND final stage our classes: we need to give our inner voice a task. If there is no goal, then the results are not very visible (although a good mood, unexpected finds of long-lost things, meeting old acquaintances, etc. are also a consequence of the work of intuition).
It has already been said before that intuition knows better than you and me what exactly we want and what we are striving for. She tells us where to go, what to do, but we don’t hear. Why? Because our desires and goals are unconscious. If you learn to consciously set tasks for your inner voice, it will, of course, also give an answer. But in this case, there is a greater chance of hearing it and, most importantly, applying it, because it will correspond to the direction of the search. It must be said that when a goal is set, not only the subconscious, but also the mind participates in the search for ways to achieve it. He also looks for solutions, and there is no need to discard them, waiting for prompts from the inner voice. It’s just that, when accepting them, you need to remember: not the whole picture is open to consciousness, it is not able to calculate everything possible consequences actions taken. Frankly speaking, not many people have a mind that is able to calculate the situation and determine all possible options for the development of events. But each of us has an intuition that can do all this, knows everything and will undoubtedly help in making a decision. You probably know examples of “unexpected” insights and greatest discoveries. Take, for example, the textbook story of Isaac Newton's apple. If the question had not been formulated by scientists long before the moment the notorious apple fell on their heads, the law of universal gravitation would not have been discovered by them. After all, many people had apples and other objects fall on their heads; nature chose Newton, who was able to draw the right conclusion from this.
Ordinary people want to receive answers to questions not of a scientific nature, but of everyday life, which would lead us to prosperity and success. So let's learn to formulate questions and, once again, listen to the answers to them.
The simplest exercise is to learn to formulate short questions addressed to yourself. It should be mastered in several steps, slowly and analyzing each intuition response received through any of the possible communication channels. So, relax, get comfortable in your favorite chair and - let's go!
The first stage is that you ask yourself the simplest questions that require a monosyllabic answer. Even if they are obvious to the first questions, you will still “hear” instant agreement or disagreement with your own intuition. However, you will not only hear, but also feel - in an instant change in physical state (tingling in the fingertips, the desire to change a comfortable and familiar position, yawning, ringing in the ears, etc.); in visual images that appear to your inner gaze, etc. Not all answers will be identified by you as positive or negative. Therefore, the results of such a blitz survey need to be carefully recorded and then, after analyzing, decide in which case your intuition agrees with you and in which it does not. This will be quite easy to do, since the questions of the first stage are unambiguous and the answers to them are well known to you, for example: “Am I sitting in a chair?”, “I have long hair? etc.
Stage two. Now we ask more difficult questions: “What to buy first: a refrigerator or a stove?”, “Should I go to the theater or cinema tonight?” etc. You will hear the answers and, based on previous experience, will be able to interpret them, checking your feelings.
To practice, play this game with intuition constantly. Let the questions get more complicated from time to time (first ask questions the answers to which you are able to check; then, when information about your individual channel of communication with the inner voice accumulates, you can complicate them by asking really important ones, the answer to which can radically change your life).
For those who do not want to believe in the existence of an inner voice, I would like to offer an interesting experiment (such people usually believe their own ears and eyes better than the words of others). Let's call it "Libra" because all you have to do is try to pretend to be a scale. You can choose any image for yourself, that’s not important. The main thing is that your scales have 2 bowls - you will depict them using your own hands. Focus, formulate your question to your intuition and then imagine that both possible answers (“yes” or “no”, “good” or “bad”, “for” or “against”) are on the scales. Remember which of them each decision relates to for you. Usually with right side good is associated, and evil is associated with the left. People even say that “Behind the left shoulder is the devil, and behind the right is the guardian angel.” Let go of all thoughts and relax, feel the heaviness in your palms and carefully monitor your own sensations. You will definitely feel that one hand has become heavier: the answer lying on this side of the scale pulls the palm more strongly towards the ground. This will be the answer to your question. The experiment always works, even if your faith in intuition is zero.
Automatic actions as signs.
Now let's talk about actions that are commonly called automatic. We do them without the participation of the mind. You can automatically speak, write, leaf through a book, finger objects in your hands, etc. All of these are also signs of the inner voice. Everyone in childhood has probably read the fairy tale “Go there, I don’t know where, bring that, I don’t know what.” This was a task just for an intuitive: without listening to the voice of reason, let your feet choose the path themselves. The body, which receives commands directly from the brain, bypassing the censorship of consciousness, knows where to go. You can do the following exercise. Formulate a goal for yourself; it does not have to be localized on the map of your locality. This could be a question from any area (it would be desirable, of course, to be able to check whether the answer given by intuition is correct). And then hit the road, not choosing a particular road, but carefully looking around and noticing everything that your eye or ear catches on. Give yourself a certain amount of time to complete the task, for example 30 minutes. And after exactly half an hour, stop and look where your feet have taken you. By the way, it is better to go on such a walk on a fine, clear day and with a friend who will distract you with light conversation from consciously choosing a route. When you return from a walk, write down everything you remember: impressions, emotions, changes in the topic of conversation, changes in weather and, of course, your final destination. Analyze this data and relate it to the question posed before the walk. Believe me, the results obtained during this unscientific experiment can be very interesting.
Automatic speech or automatic writing are widely used in the practice of clairvoyance. There is a special category of people - mediums who easily refuse the primacy of the mind in the body. A place is freed up, which, as we know, is never empty; he is immediately occupied by, say, intuition, which begins to speak through the mouth of the medium. By the way, who or what exactly takes the place of the mind in the body of the medium, I think they themselves argued. For those who perceive the other world as something real, such a question does not arise. Therefore, we will not insist on our point of view, putting it forward as a hypothesis.
Disadvantages of the inner voice.
If you think that, relying solely on your own intuition, you can happily avoid any dangers and traps, then you are mistaken. Especially, you should not rely only on signs from your inner voice in business. As already mentioned, past experiences and memories are one of the sources of intuitive knowledge. And the experience, as you understand, can be not only positive. He remains in our memory once and for all, constantly whispering fears and concerns, mostly groundless. For example, the famous American psychologist and writer D. Myers, author of the book “Intuition,” says the following. After the tragic events of September 11, 2001 in New York, when the famous twin towers were destroyed, most Americans prefer ground transport to air transport. Their negative experience (even if not their own), reinforced by numerous broadcasts from the scene, publications in newspapers and magazines, and eyewitness accounts, warns them about the dangers of airplanes, although statistics report different data: air transport is much safer than a regular car or bus. Or another example. As a student, you wore a yellow shirt to take an important exam, which you ultimately failed. This happened because you were ill-prepared for it. What will consciousness do? It will associate a yellow shirt with failure and from now on, when you choose clothes of this color in your wardrobe, the brain will say: “Don't! Be careful! Failure is guaranteed! This is how signs and superstitions are born. Although here the behavioral line developed as a result of negative practical experience is clearly erroneous: yellow I am not at all to blame for your failures. Psychologists call this phenomenon, which so often influences our inner voice, the “illusion of correlation,” that is, it is common for a person to see or invent cause-and-effect relationships where they do not exist.
If you are seriously involved in business and are going to invest heavily in some new business, you should not completely trust your intuition. The already mentioned D. Myers said in one of his interviews: “...economic intuition is a very dangerous thing. Relying only on it, you can lose big.” Moreover, as you understand, she does not always act as a voice from above, speaking exclusively the truth. This feature of the human being was noticed by an American philosopher of the 19th century. G. D. Thoreau: “We hear and accept only what we already half know.” Therefore, if there is too little experience in this particular area, it is better to gain some!
Let's try to draw a conclusion that suggests itself by conducting an experiment. We offer you 2 situations:
1) a person is in mortal danger of which he is unaware;
2) a person (let’s assume he plays on the stock exchange quite often, but is not a professional broker) is faced with a choice: buy more shares of a particular company or start selling them?
Now answer the question: in which situation are you more likely to receive a real prompt to action from your inner voice?
That's right, in the first one. Our distant ancestors evolved mental strategies that helped them find food and survive. Their brain constantly analyzed the surrounding reality in order to make the right decision and avoid danger. The mind has never evolved in the direction of intuitively predicting fluctuations in the stock market, optimal policy social security or the relative safety of driving compared to flying. Therefore, jumping to conclusions may work better in situations that our species has faced during evolution than in those that it faces today. Often, based on certain behavioral stereotypes, people make far from the wisest business decisions.
Another unpleasant feature of intuition is its unpredictability and obvious dependence on human emotions. The famous psychologist E. Berne wrote about this in 1971: “Unfortunately, at present, intuition can only be revealed at such times and in such circumstances that seem suitable to its bearer. Either he’s “on the ball” or he’s not, and so far no one has discovered a way to control intuition, which would make it possible to call it up arbitrarily...” D. Kahneman worked on the problem of emotional bias of the inner voice, who proved that “ different ways descriptions of the problem that needs to be solved give different results. Even though from a rational point of view the answer should be the same.” This phenomenon was called the "staged effect", which was confirmed in an experiment referred to as the "Case of Asian Disease". Its participants were asked to choose one of two existing ways to combat a certain terrible disease that came to the United States from Asian countries. If you don’t fight it at all, 600 people will die; method A will help save 200 sick people, and method B will either save everyone (about a 30% outcome) or none (the probability of such an outcome is approximately 70%). With this formulation of the hypothetical situation, the participants in the experiment cast their votes for method A.
Another group of participants was given the same choice, but worded differently: if Method A was used, 400 people would die; Method B allows you to save with a probability of 30% of all sick people, or (with the remaining probability) everyone will die. Although with a rational approach the choice should be the same, in the second case the participants in the experiment voted for method B, since it indicated not the number of deaths, but the number of saved ones, that is, emotions came into play.
However, there are situations in which you should not rely on emotions and feelings, so it is better to ignore the inner voice in favor of rational logic.
An intuitive solution can sometimes indicate problems that have not been relevant to you for a long time. The inner voice doesn't care what matters to you today. Moreover, one of the requirements of intuition is the ability to temporarily forget about the task at hand. The mind is busy with other things, and meanwhile the subconscious is looking for a solution. When analyzing the prompts of your inner voice, it is worth considering this point: perhaps they do not relate to the current moment, not to the problems that your brain is currently occupied with, but to some questions asked to your intuition a long time ago?..
Finally, when listening to the advice of your inner voice, you should always remember: intuition, like any other sign of fate, does not predict the guaranteed occurrence of a particular event. Any sign, be it folk sign from the area of superstition, an individual number in numerology, zodiac sign and date of birth - they speak of potential events that everyone has the power to change. An inner voice often signals the creation of a turning point, after which, if the situation is not taken under control, everything can go from bad to worse. Therefore, sudden negative emotions or a voice muttering ominously somewhere inside you are not signs of a problem, but an approaching one. And instead of cursing your fate, it’s better to analyze the clue and try to fix everything before it’s too late.
And finally, here is an excerpt from the book “Intuition” by D. Myers, who, discussing the pros and cons of intuitive knowledge of the world, cites the 12 most common misconceptions of our inner voice, peculiar stereotypes of thinking.
1. Constructing memories – Our moods and misinformation can cause us to form false memories and give questionable testimony.
2. Misinterpretation of our own mind - often we do not know why we act the way we do.
3. Misinterpretation of our feelings - we are bad at predicting the intensity and duration of our own emotions.
4. False predictions of our behavior - our intuitive predictions about ourselves often turn out to be completely groundless.
5. Distortions of looking back - when remembering certain events, we proceed from the false premise that we always knew that “this is exactly how it will all end.”
6. Defensive self-evaluative distortions – different ways we demonstrate inflated self-esteem.
7. Excessive self-confidence - intuitive assessments of one’s knowledge are usually distinguished not so much by correctness as by confidence.
8. Fundamental attribution error - we attribute the behavior of others to their inclinations, downplaying the importance of unnoticed circumstances of a particular situation.
9. Belief persistence and confirmation bias - partly due to the fact that we prefer to confirm information, while beliefs often persist even after their reasons are discredited.
10. Representativeness and accessibility - fast and economical heuristics become hasty if they lead us to illogical and incorrect judgments.
11. Framing effect - conclusions change to the exact opposite depending on how the same piece of information is presented.
12. The illusion of correlation is an intuitive perception of a connection where it is absent.
The Great Ones on Signs and Symbols
“When a drop of rain knocks on the window, this is My Sign!
When a bird trembles, this is My Sign!
When the leaves rush in a whirlwind, this is My Sign!
When the ice melts the sun - this is My Sign!
When the waves wash away spiritual sorrow - this is My Sign!
When the wing of insight touches a troubled soul - this is My Sign!
Count the steps when you go to the Temple,
for every seventh step bears My Sign!
When you show a new understanding of My Sign,
you will see the sparkling lightning of the Worlds.
I opened the door for you, but you can only enter yourself.”
E. I. Roerich
“Signs and symbols rule the world, not words or laws.”
Confucius
Several years ago I fell very much in love with a man who was very wrong for me. I became obsessed with him from the very beginning and despite many warning signs and warning signs - but I felt something that I had never felt before, so I turned a blind eye to the bad.
Deep down I knew something was wrong. I knew that I couldn’t trust him, I knew that everything would end sadly. But I didn’t want to admit it, it was painful to admit.
Looking back, I am amazed at how much time, energy, and heart I could have saved if I had just listened to my intuition. And this happens to many of us.
How often do we doubt something, ask a friend for her opinion, and she tells us the truth, which we ourselves suspect, but are afraid to admit... And in the end we still deny it, because we simply don’t want it to be true . We ask for advice only to do the opposite, to do it according to our hearts and not according to our minds.
In fact, the inner voice is a powerful tool in our lives, especially in relationships. Women even have an advantage - Woman's intuition. The main thing is to learn to listen to her. Think about how much pain and disappointment you could avoid if you always listened to your inner voice: “You deserve better, you don’t need it.”
But the voice of our ego is very loud: “Of course he loves you! He says that you are the most amazing girl he has ever met, which means he really loves you!” Our ego drowns out the inner voice of reason, and then our heart suffers from this.
Our subconscious stores a whole arsenal of information that our consciousness cannot always explain. For example, when we just meet a person and we immediately like him. Or vice versa - he seems cute, but for some reason you can’t stand him anymore. This is the work of the subconscious. Sometimes these people remind us of someone from the past.
We perceive many things subconsciously and react in ways we cannot explain.
The point is, most often you already know the answer. The problem is that you wish it were different, and instead of accepting it, you rationalize the obvious.
Our thoughts and feelings have the power and ability to protect us, but it all depends on us whether we listen to them.
As scientists confirm, our emotions come from the subconscious, which means they reflect more information than our conscious mind. That is, intuition saves us from unnecessary pain.
Here are some tips on how to listen to your inner voice:
1. Ask yourself a question and listen to the inner answer.
Just the first thing that comes to mind. This is the answer, and then the excuses begin.
2. Make a decision and listen to your body.
If this is not correct, you will feel resistance, usually in the abdominal area.
3. Ask a friend.
An outside perspective is very useful, because we still often take wishful thinking. Ask a friend for objective advice.
4. Be conscious.
In the sense that try to evaluate everything equally, listening to your intuition and feelings. Time alone helps with this - meditation, yoga, journaling, walking. Try to do this regularly and in all aspects of your life.
Everyone has a sixth sense, but not everyone is able to feel it and recognize the signals of the inner voice. To learn to use intuition, it must be developed and trained, like any other human ability. If you want to figure out how to develop intuition, you need to clearly understand how it works.
What is intuition
Our brain is divided into two hemispheres:
- The left is responsible for logic and analytical thinking, according to which most ordinary people live. They do not listen to signs, but follow the voice of reason, often making wrong decisions, ignoring their sixth sense.
- The right hemisphere is responsible for inspiration, makes you do illogical things, and is well developed in creative people. It contains the subconscious, which contains everything that happened in our lives, all feelings and thoughts. The subconscious mind is capable of capturing a million pieces of information per second and storing this knowledge to use for making the right decisions.
Intuition is a kind of channel for communication with the subconscious. Through it, insights necessary for non-standard solutions to problems and answers to important questions come from the right hemisphere of the brain.
A person reveals hidden abilities and develops psychological skills when he is able to use both hemispheres of the brain equally. According to scientists, many successful people have this feature.
What is needed to develop intuition?
To develop intuition, you need to learn to listen to your subconscious. First of all, increase your self-esteem.
People who do not believe in themselves cannot use intuition, because if they hear its advice, they will be afraid to follow it.
A person with low self-esteem tends to do what stronger, more confident people tell him.
Once you have built up your self-confidence, trust that intuition exists. Without this faith, you won’t be able to use the channel, because it only works for those who believe.
It is important to learn to ask the right questions. They need to be spoken clearly and clearly, preferably in an affirmative form.
For example, if you want to know whether you will get a job, you need to mentally voice: “I will get a job.” And listen to the sensations that appear in your soul. Phrases constructed in the form of a statement do not affect logical thinking and are not capable of spoiling the answers sent by the intuition channel.
How to learn to hear intuition
If you expect to hear a straight answer to a question, you will be disappointed. The subconscious mind sends signals in the form of images, vivid impressions, sensations and smells.
For example, there are widely known cases where passengers canceled their plane tickets at the last moment because on a subconscious level they sensed impending misfortune and thereby saved their lives. Such people have a well-developed sixth sense, and they know how to listen to its warnings.
Signals of intuition manifest themselves in a rapid heartbeat; you may suddenly feel hot or cold. Some people feel a tingling sensation in the pads of their fingers.
Before making an important decision, listen to your feelings. If they are joyful, the subconscious mind sends you a positive response. When the chest is compressed by an unpleasant feeling and a feeling of anxiety appears, the answer is negative.
In rare cases, the subconscious mind sends responses through intuition, expressed by different smells. There have been cases when people, before an important joyful event, smelled the smell of oranges, and before troubles, the aroma of rotten fruit.
Sometimes a person is not able to subtly sense signals from the subconscious, and then he can receive signs from the outside. For example, when you are struggling for a long time and cannot make the right decision, an article comes across your eye that points to the right path, or a bird knocks on the window. In order to push you to the right decision, various events can happen.
How to tune in to the desired channel
Meditation helps to develop intuition. Find a quiet place and get lost in your thoughts. Having completely relaxed, ask your subconscious a question that worries you and wait for an answer. The sixth sense does not always answer immediately, but the answer will definitely come, you just need not to miss it.
When inspiration strikes you and appears new idea, turn off logic, follow your intuition and see what comes of it.
How to use your intuition
To avoid making mistakes in people, use your intuition. Everyone has had a case in life when, during an acquaintance, they did not like a person, despite decent clothes and manners. An inner voice whispered: “Be careful and don’t trust him.”
Your subconscious sensed the negative energy emanating from this person and sent a warning through the channel of intuition. If, when you first meet a person, you have a feeling of anxiety, restlessness, a stomach cramp or a headache, do not ignore the warning, but listen to your feelings and try to trust them.
- The subconscious mind gives us the ability to distinguish lies from truth using intuition.
When a person tells a story with all sincerity, his energetic vibrations are picked up by your sixth sense. If he is lying, intuition speaks about this with internal resistance and anxiety.
- Learn to recognize these signals; they will help you avoid many mistakes.
The development of intuition begins when you listen more to feelings rather than thoughts. Pay attention to your instincts and the world around you, trying to catch what your inner voice is saying.
Technique for developing intuition
The American psychologist’s technique, which he called “Glass of Water,” helps to develop intuition well.
- To implement it, before going to bed, pour a full glass of clean water, tune in to the problem for which you want to know the solution and drink half of the water with the words: “I know the answer to the question I’m thinking about.”
- After this phrase, go to bed, and in the morning drink your water, repeating the same words.
- In a few days, the subconscious will reach you and send you a dream with an answer to a question or give a sign to solve a problem.
The main rule for receiving answers from the subconscious is the specific formulation of the question in a positive way. Don't forget that you can ask one question at a time and not use the particle "not" in it.
Practical lessons
Developed intuition has many possibilities. Try sending a signal to your loved ones using your sixth sense.
To do this, think about relatives or friends who are far away all day and before going to bed. Imagine them in your imagination as clearly as possible and do not stop doing this for several days. Energy waves will reach these people and they will contact you. They will call, write a letter or come to visit.
- Find what's lost
With the help of intuition, you can find a lost thing, you just need to tune in to the right channel and release energy for the search. If you have lost your keys or phone in your apartment, close your eyes, relax and allow the energy waves emanating from the subconscious to fill the entire house.
Listen carefully to your inner voice and you will feel where the loss is. Perhaps not everything will work out the first time, but if you constantly practice, you will be surprised at the accuracy of your sensations.
- Maps and flashcards
The development of intuition is improved by a regular deck of cards. Place 4 cards face down on the table and try to determine what suit they are.
To do this, start slowly moving your hand over each card and listen to your sensations. You may feel heat or cold coming from a certain suit of cards. Trust your first impression, turn over the shirts and check how many suits of cards you have guessed. With each new training, your intuition will strengthen, and soon you will accurately determine the suit of each card.
- Blind reading
The correct answer to a question can be obtained by blind reading. This method is easy to use and quickly develops intuition.
When you are worried about a certain situation or question, focus on thinking about it, prepare 3 sheets of cardboard, sit at the table, take a pen and write possible solutions to the issue on the cardboard. Place the cards with the inscriptions down, mix thoroughly, relax and hold your hands over the cardboard.
Tune in to receive information, and soon your palms will feel a slight warmth or tingling. The card with the strongest feeling carries the correct answer.
- Mantras
In addition to meditation, mantras can be used to develop intuition. These are poems written in Sanskrit that have a mystical meaning. Many people believe that with the help of mantras you can fulfill any desire and greatly improve your life.
There are special poems for developing the sixth sense, which need to be read during the waxing moon and combined with meditation. This technique releases a person’s hidden abilities, allowing him to see the future and treat diseases with his biofield.
It is very difficult to achieve this; constant training of intuition and spiritual development is required. Such a gift requires great responsibility in the use of knowledge.
A person with developed intuition has extrasensory perception, and he can heal diseases with the help of the subconscious. To do this, you need to concentrate and hold your hands over the body of a sick person, listening to sensations and signs. The energy of the biofield will quickly find pain points and let your palms feel warm or cold. Initiating healing is more difficult than making a diagnosis; it requires special training and a lot of intuitive experience.
To develop intuition, you need to understand that it is not a unique feature inherited by a select few. This is a gift of nature, available to everyone who wants to master this skill and use it to help themselves and loved ones.
