The word intuition is defined by Merrian-Websters dictionary as:

1: quick and ready insight

2 a: immediate apprehension or cognition

   b: knowledge or conviction gained by intuition

   c: the power or faculty of attaining to direct knowledge or cognition without evident rational thought and inference

For me intuition is an inner knowing without thinking. Intuition describes a wide variety of ways you get information without using known logical or rational processes.  All people have intuitive capabilities, but some might not be aware of them. We have called intuition with several other names like hunch, precognition, sixth sense, gut feeling, etc.

Intuition is an important but sometimes unrecognized part of our life.  All of us constantly receive its messages but choose to ignore them.  Our rational mind or our ego gets in the middle and gives us all the rational reasons why we should ignore the intuitive impulse. But the moment we start listening to it and following the guidance, the clearer its messages will be.

Intuition is never forceful or loud (except in times of extreme danger).  We must listen carefully to hear it.  It is that part of us that always knows the correct answer.  Intuition is guidance coming from our Angels, Spirit Guides, Higher Self, God, etc. It is a gift we all have; we entered this world with our most important survival skill highly active.  However through socialization we begin to ignore or suppress the intuitive guidance.

  An intuitive message can come in different ways; sometimes you can hear actual words, see a clear picture, have a gut reaction or feel a deep inner knowing.

You need to train yourself to pay attention to your intuition.  The only thing you need to do is to be aware, listen, trust and take guided actions.

There are many ways to develop your intuition, one of them is meditation. Meditation helps you to quiet your mind and to open your core connections with the higher realms where all your spiritual helpers can get through the messages or the guidance that you require.

Play with it and practice. Before you answer the phone or to a knock on the door, take a moment to guess who's there. Maybe at the beginning you might be wrong a high percentage of the time, but do not get discouraged, keep practising and soon you will see that you come up with the right answer. Play and have fun with it!

Log your experiences. Write down in a Journal every feeling, image, symbol or words that come to you during your meditation.  Write down your right guesses at who was knocking at your door or who was calling on the phone.  The synchronicities that might start happening in your life, what you felt and what happened after that. Write down everything.  From time to time go back to your notes and see if you can notice a pattern in what you felt, heard, or saw, and their meanings. Explore and create your own dictionary of meanings that work just for you, and remember have fun with it!
