How to Use Your Intuition in Real Life

During the last month or so I have been blogging about Intuition. I will continue on this topic this week and will be offering you further specific techniques on how to develop your Intuition. You might also want to go back and review what I have written previously. In effect, I have been offering a mini-course on “How to Develop Your Intuition.” Next week I will blog on a different topic.

When I worked on the polio vaccine, I had a theory.
I guided each [experiment] by imagining myself in the phenomenon in which I was interested.
The intuitive realm . . . the realm of the imagination guides my thinking.
Intuition will tell the thinking mind where to look next.
Jonas Salk

Intuition is my most valued business tool.

Learning to use your Intuition is like learning a new language. As you get practiced and fully conversant in the new language you are learning, you no longer need to think about what you are going to say, it just comes flowing out of you.

So, too, Intuition can become second nature for you. Instead of thinking in a left-brain, analytical mode all the time, you learn to “think” in a right brain way, too. Instead of experiencing paralysis through too much analysis, you can experience great success and fulfillment through inspired creativity.

Intuition uses a “language” that is made up of pictures and feelings. Over time you can create a very easy to use “language” that you make up yourself. For example, if you want to get a “read” on someone or some situation, just visualize them as a car, a book, an animal, etc and “see” what impressions come to you.

See what kind of car, book, animal, etc comes to you and then trust that the “feeling” or image that you get is an accurate “read” of the person or situation. In time you will learn to trust your impressions and very easily, accurately and quickly get a “read” on a person or situation with this simple, yet very powerful tool.
