What is intuition and how to develop it?

We are not surprised when we hear about male and female logic, but no one thinks about the fact that the presence of intuition is supposed only in women. That men have such a thing, how intuition is alien? Not at all! But the modern idea of ​​a man as a brutal macho, deprives him of the opportunity to take advantage of clues of the inner voice. And besides, most often with them in life there is a woman who is ready to share her anxious forebodings and protect from critical situations. And it does not matter at the same time, the wife or mother acts as a guardian angel.


A couple of centuries ago, women with developed intuition had to die at the stake, because representatives of the church and not only they, seriously believed that they were witches who had a connection with the devil himself. Today, however, the representations of modern man about otherworldly beings, their connections with their ability to intuitively feel this or that situation, are no longer connected with themselves and women with a subtle spiritual organization can not be afraid of a self-perpetuating life.

But if intuition plays such an important role in our life, helps to avoid critical situations, does not make fatal mistakes, can we more develop this sixth sense?

First, let's try to figure out what is intuition, who it is endowed with and how it can be used for good. So, as close as possible to the solution, there were such well-known philosophers as Emmanuel Kant, Spinoza, Socrates and follower of Freud Jung. The very concept of "intuition" is translated as "look".

In fact, our sixth sense, no matter how much it is developed, is a kind of inner gaze, the attentive relation to which allows us to solve complex problems. True, if a person does not possess certain knowledge about the structure of the world, then he simply does not have the ability to correctly decipher the signals that intuition gives. And as kakisvestno, hints can be manifested in different ways: some see prophetic dreams, other levels of sensations can foresee the various situations, on the third, the sudden insight descends.

As a result of carrying out a mass of research, scientists have drawn conclusions that the intuition is best developed among creative individuals who most often work the right hemisphere of the brain. But if you do not consider yourself creative people, can you develop the right hemisphere independently, thereby exacerbating the sixth sense? It turns out that it is possible, and the main attention should be paid to ensuring that this process contributes to the harmonious work of both hemispheres of the brain.

How to develop intuition?

Many believe that for the development of intuition, it is necessary to engage in some serious practices, giving them almost no time for your day. We will not argue, there are philosophical currents in the world offering meditative practices, the diligent fulfillment of which will allow you to look at yourself and sharpen your intuition. But there are more simple, but not less effective exercises.

The simplest of them are those that allow you to work with that hand that you have less involved. That is, if you are right-handed, you need to move some of the actions that you are accustomed to doing with the right hand, to the left. So, you can hold a spoon in your left hand, try to write at least a couple of lines of text, that is, you need to achieve that the load on both hemispheres was about the same.

As a workout, try taking a pencil in both hands and drawing a symmetrical object on a piece of paper. It can be anything: an apple, a person's face, a butterfly. Keep your hands moving synchronously, and the image applied to the paper is as symmetrical as possible. Naturally, to achieve an ideal result from the first rasudutsya not everyone, but such actions except that will help develop the intuition, will teach you to concentrate and even relieve migraine attacks. As soon as you started to get quite decent images, the speed of the movement can be increased.

One more option is the exercises on coordinated hand movements. To begin with, try to take two fingers of the left hand behind the mochkravoy ear, and two fingers of the right - behind the nose. Then release your fingers, clap your hands and immediately change hands. What, the first time did not work? It's okay, a couple of minutes of training and hands will move as needed. As soon as you can do the exercise without mistakes, accelerate the pace and continue in the same spirit.

Many women and some men understand perfectly when the interlocutor speaks untruth. And this understanding comes to us on an intuitive level. How does this mechanism work in this case? It's all a matter of fact that, telling a lie, a person with his facial expressions and gestures shows the true position of things - his body as it were reveals the true state of things. If you did not study such a science as physiognomy, this does not mean that you will not be able to recognize the lie - you will feel a certain alertness and will experience mistrust to the speaker.

As already mentioned above, the recognition of signals perceived by us on an intuitive level is helped by knowledge. At the same time, the intuition works as a kind of insight, thereby differing from the process of thinking, which can last several hours, and sometimes more. It is for this reason that skeptics do not believe in the existence of intuition, and even more so because of its clues, one can make the right decision.

Men who do not believe in the warnings of their women, believe that the foresight of the situation is nothing more than its programming. That is, a woman does not foresee the situation, but simply attracts her, and the man can only struggle with troubles.

In fact, we can observe a fundamentally opposite situation: a more sensitive woman anticipates the emergence of a difficult situation and tells this to a man. Then, after listening, she perceives this as another feminine invention and disobeys her. When the situation actually happens, the representative of the stronger sex has to fight with unpleasant, and sometimes completely irreparable, consequences.

Experts say that the inner voice is practically each of us, but only some listen to it. They can not trust their feelings and forebodings at all.
