Cultivating Intuition
Ralph Waldo Emerson, the American philosopher said "The
primary wisdom is intuition." It is not just a theory; it is part of who
we are. Without training we can happen upon it occasionally and we usually like
the results when we follow our intuition. What would happen if we learned to
tap into our own innate intuition on a daily basis? Why don't we? As Carl Jung
said "intuition does not denote something contrary to reason, but
something outside of the province of reason." It is real and it is not in
our heads. And our head can't control it.
There are many ways we sabotage our own natural intuition all the
time. We don't give it a chance. How?
We hurry so much that we don't take time to listen to our intuition.
We need
to slow down or just be still to hear our intuition.
We don't look for the symbolism in things or events nor do we
develop our symbolic ability.
We need
to be open to possibilities.
We let our ego control us, and insist on being in charge/controlling
everything around us.
The ego
is threatened by the presence of your intuition.
We confuse intuition with fear and wishful thinking.
When we
stay in our heads and let our emotions control us, we lose the gift of what our
intuition can offer.
We continue to associate with people who don't believe in
intuition or want to use it.
Intuition
is contagious. But so is a lack of intuition.
We think we can force intuition just like we can pedal a bike or
pump weights.
Intuition
comes where and when invited, but not on demand.
We insist on staying in our logical, rational, analytical thinking
as the only way to find solutions to problems or make decisions or find
solutions.
When we
are centered, using all our emotional intelligence tools and habits, intuition
can flood us with many creative alternatives that the intellect could not
conceive.
We listen to our ego when it tells us it can handle the problem or
situation itself.
We allow
the ego to reject the insights that intuition offers.
We believe we don't need to learn tools, skills and habits to
master our intuition.
By
getting trapped in the endless loop of our heads, we never get a chance to
develop our intuition to see how good it can become.
One of the most brilliant and analytical minds of the twentieth
century, Albert Einstein said, "The real valuable thing is
intuition." If this famous and rational mind can credit intuition so
highly, maybe we should give it a try too. Who knows, with a little practice, a
little coaching and a few successes, perhaps we too will start to see the
wisdom of using this 'thing' called intuition.
