When human body functions spontaneously, we call it as
instinct.
When you are totally awake and aware, this shift happens:
from the [brain’s] left hemisphere the energy moves to the right hemisphere. The
male is naturally an aggressive living being, the male is constantly in
struggle – the feminine is constantly in surrender, in deep trust. Hence
females have a better intuition or sixth sense.
Scientists have discovered that humans appear to
have two, very
different “operating systems.”
System 1 is our quick, instinctual, and often subconscious way of operating – it is
controlled by our right brain and by other parts of our brain that have been around
since prehistoric times, known as the “limbic” and reptilian” parts of our
brain. System 2 is our slower, more analytical, and conscious way of
operating – it is controlled by our left brain and by newer parts of our brain
that have only developed since prehistoric times (also known as the
“neocortex”). Researchers have found that intuition is part of System 1,
which is why it comes on so rapidly and often does not make rational sense to
us. In other words, intuitive decisions are not something that we have
thought out carefully with reason, but rather choices that have arisen quickly
out of instinct.
In my book, THINK LIKE A WINNER, I have briefly
touched upon how our human mind can be programmed for success. In my second
book, LIVE YOUR DREAMS, I have discussed, how people used their power of mind
to achieve their personal and professional goals.
Intuition is challenging to define,
despite the huge role it plays in our everyday lives. Steve Jobs
called it, for instance, "more powerful than intellect."
But however we put it into words, we all, well, intuitively know just
what it is.
Pretty
much everyone has experienced a gut feeling -- that unconscious reasoning that
propels us to do something without telling us why or how. But the nature of
intuition has long eluded us, and has inspired centuries' worth of research and
inquiry in the fields of philosophy and psychology.
If you want to get in touch with your
intuition, a little time alone may be the most effective way. Just as solitude
can help give rise to creative thinking, it can also help us connect to our
deepest inner wisdom.
Intuitive people are often introverted, according to
Burnham. But whether you're an introvert or not, taking time for solitude can
help you engage in deeper thought and reconnect with yourself.
"You have to be
able to have a little bit of solitude; a little bit of silence," she says.
"In the middle of craziness ... you can't recognize [intuition] above all
of the noise of everyday life." For inspiring books, individual counselling, group corporate seminars, please contact WA on 9820073993 (Mumbai)
