What is intuition and how important is it in human life?

Hello dear blog readers! Intuition is the ability to feel when it is necessary to take action, and when it is better to lie low, and this feeling is always true, and appears unexpectedly. Humanity has known about it for a long time, already in antiquity Plato studied this ability, and today I invite your attention to consider its characteristics, and what role it plays in the life of an ordinary person.

 

General information

Modern psychology does not really understand how intuition works, believing that it is hidden somewhere in the bowels of the unconscious. Provided that a person has an excellent connection with consciousness. It is believed that children under the age of 4 have this connection to perfection, they, having no experience and sufficient knowledge about the world around them, clearly determine their actions. And over time, the more knowledge appears, the less they are able to feel and anticipate adverse situations.

The female “feel” is also famous, and indeed, it is more developed among them, if only because most women do not have perfect logical thinking, and rely on their feelings and observations. They do not always criticize information, only if the source causes suspicion and unpleasant emotions in them. And men, on the contrary, from childhood are trained to restrain emotions, control their condition, so they lose touch with the sensitive part. They prefer to analyze using logic, relying on reliable facts and proven arguments.

What is intuition and how important is it in human life?

Maybe you noticed that even in the field of psychic services, mostly women? But because a well-developed male intuition is a rarity.

There is a diagram that indicates exactly how the process of foresight takes place. It was created by Graham Wallace in 1926. By collecting data from other scientists, Hermann Helmholtz and Henri Poincare, who were famous in the field of mathematics, he developed one clear scheme of the creative process, which is how he called psychic abilities.

Description of each ability stage

  1. Training. A person consciously seeks information about some problem, the focus of attention narrows, that is, he notices absolutely everything connected with it. Thinking and trying to find solutions to deal with it.
  2. Incubation. It seems that he has hit a dead end, not a single sensible idea and thought. Although in fact at this moment the subconscious mind is actively working, even when the consciousness is busy with completely different issues.
  3. Enlightenment. At a completely unexpected moment, insight occurs, enlightenment, as if a current had been struck. Sometimes it happens that it is even difficult to describe in words what happened.
  4. Examination. In this stage, the person tries to give a convenient form to his insight.

What types are there?

Bodily

What is intuition and how important is it in human life?

It is not connected with our mind, but manifests itself in the form of physical sensations. By the way, it is with its help that we recognize the emotions of other people, feeling when they are lying and when they are telling the truth. You can learn more about this in the article on non-verbal communication. So, it happened that when you first met a person you did not like? But you couldn’t justify to yourself exactly why, and over time, getting used to it, you began to trust him, and at some point he acts meanly to you. Here is your «sense», as they say, worked perfectly on the physical level, trying to warn about the catch.

Our mind does not have time to process as much information as the body receives. Attention is directed to the knowledge of the surrounding world. For example, when we are looking for some address in a new city, and while the brain is busy looking for the right path, our legs “carry” into unfamiliar alleys, so confidently that later it turns out that they really went in the right direction. But this happens to those who trust themselves, relying on their feelings, and do not develop a clear route.

Intellectual

It is such a hybrid, a mixture of experience, sensuality and logical thinking. It would seem an impossible combination, but real. The only negative is the duration. It is divided into several subspecies, which do not differ much in meaning:

  • Professional. That is, when a person has spent too much time in his profession, he can begin to use a creative approach, coming up with non-standard solutions to difficult situations. And it occurs at a time when the situation seems hopeless. For example, when a doctor, resting somewhere on the sea, saves someone’s life with the help of improvised means.
  • Scientific. Remember the story about the periodic table? Namely, that Dmitry originally dreamed of her? This is what scientific sensitivity is, it is characteristic of intelligent and creative people, in the eternal search for answers to their questions.
  • Creative. It manifests itself in the form of insight, insight, and is the most complex and rare type. It manifested itself vividly in Mozart, because Wolfgang could “hear” his work as a whole, and not like other composers, trying to create various musical fragments and transitions.

emotional

It manifests itself with the help of emotions, for example, anxiety, unreasonable anxiety. Something inside “tells” us that something is going wrong, that there is a catch or a danger. It is he who is most common among women, especially mothers in relation to children who are not around at the moment. Everything is calm and good, a person can even sleep, when he suddenly “undermines” due to the fact that there is a feeling of fear for a loved one and a clear understanding that trouble has happened to him.

Mystical

What is intuition and how important is it in human life?

The description of this species is complicated by the fact that it is the most poorly studied, mysterious and even frightening. At least, psychologists cannot yet explain the mechanisms and principles of its work. And people with a mystical gift are called psychics or magicians. Because they can so adapt to the personality of another, reading information from the Universe, that they easily predict some events, talk about the past and read thoughts. Up to the point that by controlling energy and matter, they are able to change both the present and the future.

These types are manifested in absolutely every person, just not everyone understands that these are clues from our subconscious and sensory organs. For example, someone uses only symptoms, at the level of physical sensations, someone believes that with the help of logic alone he was able to predict difficulties or consequences. It’s like with temperament, the characteristics of each type are present in the character of every person, just one of them is the leading and main one, because for the individual it turned out to be the most convenient and familiar due to various life circumstances and experience.

What role does it play in life?

What is intuition and how important is it in human life?

If we talk about the role the gift of foresight plays in our lives, I can say that it is very significant, as it helps to prevent many mistakes and disappointments, often saving lives. I’m sure everyone knows about such cases when a person, not realizing and not giving reasons for his decision, cancels a trip, and later finds out that an accident has occurred, and no one survived from his flight.

In such cases, the physical «sense» is more likely to work, and manifests itself in the form of malaise, a cold, which is why you have to stay at home. Such a legal excuse. After all, not every person can follow his desires as soon as he pleases, work and family obligations do not allow you to simply say: “But I won’t fly on a business trip, because it seems that something bad will happen.” Agree, then he will not work for a long time in the company.

Conclusion

If you develop the gift of foresight in yourself, you will be able to qualitatively improve your life, because you will end unreliable relationships even before they begin to develop, you will understand where it is worth investing money, and where you will “burn out”, you will be able to feel your partner and notice in a timely manner the moments due to which the relationship is in danger of collapsing. But this does not mean that the logical part of your thinking is depreciated, and that you should not be guided by logic, focusing only on premonitions. No, you must learn to use them in a complex way, without losing sight of your observations, experience, ideas and facts, or any sensations, signs and dreams.

And remember that it is very easy to deceive the mind, especially by using some kind of manipulative method, but intuition is impossible, it can be ignored, not noticed, not taken into account or not believed, but never deceived. Learn to trust yourself and your feelings, and you can do this with the help of the recommendations in the article about the development of intuition. And that’s all for today, dear readers, take care of yourself and your loved ones!
