"The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery. There comes a leap in consciousness, call it intuition or what you will, and the solution comes to you and you don’t know why or how."

~ Albert Einstein

 

The still small voice within, inner feeling, gut feeling... is a voice beyond our rational mind, a voice of our deeper wisdom, an inner compass telling us which way to go when we're not completely sure. In order to hear it, we need to be in touch with ourselves, our emotions, our desires, our true self. We need to be present in our body too, because intuition doesn't work when we're cut off from our body and living only in our head.

 

 

Intuition isn't loud, it doesn't shout. You need to listen to it very closely, because often our ego wants a certain outcome, and we're not really open to hearing anything else. And often what the ego wants isn't also what is best for us.

 

In order to hear the voice of intution, we need to be open and trust that there is a solution and that things will be fine, even if we don't get what we think we need. Intuition comes when we trust a wisdom greater than our ego and the rational mind.
