Almost everyone has experienced their own intuition.
Millions of people can walk into a house for sale, and instantly know its the right place for them to live. (Or know its not.) or some couples, it takes !ust one look to recogni"e their lifetime partner. Many people also experience their pets# a$ilities %to know&. 'ogs have $een known to howl inconsola$ly at the moment of their masters death, even if they#re separated $y thousands of miles. (n our own lives, we get more hooked into our own story $y glimpses our intuition gives us of how things can turn out. (ntuitive hits make life more interesting) Often, the inner voice is a *uiet one. +eople are used to important things $eing said in a loud voice. ,he inner voice can also $e cryptic and fleeting. (t can $e visceral, like the hair standing up on your head, or your guts contracting ('o not proceed)). Or, it can $e the voice of your mother or a $est friend. 'r. Orloff, M', a psychiatrist, Assistant -linical +rofessor of psychiatry at .niversity of -alifornia at /os Angeles... and author of several $ooks, including the New York Times $est seller Emotional Freedom (www.'r0udithOrloff.com), descri$es thus1 &(ntuition is a talent some people are $orn with2like math or music. 3ome have more of a propensity for it, $ut everyone can learn to develop powerful intuitive skills to serve them in their lives.& 3he descri$ed intuition as what we feel rather than think. (t#s a continuum that runs all the way from trusting your gut to seeing the future. 'r. Orloff suggests some simple signals that your intuition is at work1 Signs that your intuition is saying " yes "... 4our shoulders are relaxed. 4ou find yourself leaning toward the person you are talking to. 4ou $reathe normally. 4ou have goose $umps. ((nterestingly, goose $umps can indicate that your intuition knows you have hit the mark perfectly.) 4ou feel your gut tighten and you notice a somewhat sinking feeling. Signs that your intuition is saying " no "... 4ou feel a lump or constriction in your throat. 4ou find that you are holding your $reath2a sign that you#re afraid. 4our skin crawls or you feel chills. 4our shoulders tighten or you feel knots in them. ,he hair on the $ack of your neck stands up. 4ou feel drained, with a sense of malaise. 5xisting aches and pains feel aggravated. ,he intuition#s most important role is to indicate what, where, and whom is part of our potential growth and fulfillment. 6O7 'O 4O. ,5// 765,658 (,#3 4O.8 (MA9(:A,(O: O8 4O.8 (:,.(,(O:;1 (t is always $oth) (t is the imagination, with its a$ility to create pictures, that allows your intuitions to $e delivered. ,he imagination provides tools that the intuition uses to send messages.
