Intuition means something different to each of us; it’s a personal experience. Let’s just say that intuition is messages from The Universe.
Messages show themselves is many ways. We feel them in our gut, get goosebumps on our skin, and experience sudden tension in our neck and shoulders. We receive messages in our body.
We also receive messages through our senses. We may directly hear or see a message – one connected to a specific neural network in our brain.
We’re aware of a second set of senses – seeing without sight; hearing where there is no sound; feeling without touch; knowing. Messages fill this mysterious space.
Where do messages come from? This is an important question because it leads directly to the first stumbling block to developing intuition: trust. We’re not sure we can trust what we’re getting in messages because we cannot see who or what is sending them.
Let’s say that all messages come from God. For you, God may be Source, or The Universe, or The Field, or Nature. This is where the spiritual practice of intuition finds its root. By developing our intuition we’re developing our connection with God. Essentially, we’re improving our listening skills.
Why do messages come? The idea that messages guide us to move in precise directions suggests there’s a grand plan – that we are being nudged to follow a particular path. Understanding The Universe’s plan for us and staying on track is a second aspect of this spiritual practice.
Our bodies are senders and receivers of messages. Physics and biology agree on this. If we’re developing our ability to receive messages we probably want to pay attention to our body as a receiver – to make sure it’s clear and clean. This attention is healing – the third element of spiritual practice.
As we improve our ability to receive messages, we naturally pay more attention to the messages we send. This opens the fourth element of spiritual practice: relationships. And the fifth: intention.
So, the five elements of intuition as a spiritual practice are:
- Connection with God
- Understanding the plan for our life and living it fully
- Healing
- Relationships
- Intention
Ultimately, the purpose of developing intuition is to live by faith alone – to trust every decision to Source.
