The ABC’s of Actively Being Conscious Day 11
I is for Intuit
As you expand your conscious awareness, your intuitive faculties expands right along with it. It can’t be helped.
Everyone is intuitive to some degree. We have so much information available to us all the time, but we just forget to pay attention.
Today we’ll discuss a few more ideas to help increase your awareness, and thus your intuition.
First, intuition is defined as:
¨ Immediate cognition. The ability to understand something immediately, without the need for conscious reasoning.
¨ The act or faculty of knowing or sensing without the use of rational processes.
¨ The power or faculty of attaining to direct knowledge or cognition without evident rational thought and inference.
Notice how the definitions explicitly eliminate rational thought from the equation. When we can be purely aware, without interference of the rational process either to figure out what something means or to rationalize why it can’t possibly mean what it feels like it means, our intuition flows freely.
And if you combine that with becoming more deliberately aware, your intuition goes through the roof – literally!
3 Tips to Increase Your Intuition
Here are some ways you can deliberately increase your awareness and thus your intuition.
1. Be Aware Both Deeply and Broadly.
a. Focusing provides the depth.
If you want to get an impression of something in particular you would rest your attention easily on that thing (or person or situation) and see what you notice. Stay open to anything. You can ask yourself pointed questions about it. In other words, probe. Allow your attention to go more deeply than your normal senses might take you.
