Intuition
Meditation can help grow intuition by removing common mental distractions and thus improving the quality of our instinctive 'gut feeling' in all kinds of situations. For example, low self-esteem, anxiety or anger issues can cloud a person's intuitive judgements, preventing them from seeing issues properly. A more relaxed and happy mind makes much better intuitive decisions.
- The problem
Intuition is not to be confused with gut instinct, which is based on previous experiences which your mind-body-nervous system remembers. It is more abstract than that. Plato, one of the founding fathers of western culture, considered intuition to be a fundamental knowledge that resides in the soul of reality.
So if Plato’s right (and, let’s face it, he usually was), where have our intuitive capabilities gone? Why do we end up making so many bad decisions, feeling lost or like we’re moving in the wrong direction?
