Intuition means the ability or an insight to instantly understand a situation in all its dimensions without any conscious effort. This understanding is not arrived at deductively on the basis of previous facts or experiences or any empirical knowledge.

Intuition simply springs up as a spontaneous impulse or a gut feeling without any previous meditation on the problem. It is a divine spirit that points to the truth and we often ignore it to our disadvantage.

Every human being is born with some level of intuition. An inexplicable feeling of some ominous or pleasant occurrence takes hold of our consciousness and to our surprise the intuition comes true in form of an occurrence that is in tune with our intuition. The intuition of mothers about the welfare of their children is a widely experienced phenomenon. It is a daily experience with most of us to guess correctly about who might be the caller the moment the door or the telephone bell rings.

Intuition is one of the incredible gifts of nature to human beings. It is a rich resource that must be developed to its full potential. The sad reality is that some of us are born rich with intuition, but we just squander it away either by ignoring it or by putting too much premium on the so-called common sense wisdom derived from reasoning. If we learn to suspend our judgment for a while and try to listen to this divine voice, we will soon realize what tremendous reservoir of foresight we have been blessed with.

Even the animals and insects have a highly advanced level of intuition. Ants, for example, are very intuitive creatures. They can predict the inclement weather conditions and move to securer places much before the threatening condition occurs. Quite a number of dog lovers can testify how some dogs stop eating, became morose and behave in a mysterious fashion before some serious occurrence takes place in the family.

The amazing truth about tapping this incredible resource is that you do not need any training to develop intuition. It is already waiting to well up. You only need to cleanse your mind of the redundant and obstructive clutter of negative thoughts. Just be quiet and relaxed. Have faith in its accuracy. Do not reason with it. You will see nothing but truth.
