Developing intuition: Frequently Asked Questions

Q-1: What is Intuition?
Your intuition is a vital resource for you at work, during social situations and in your personal life. Intuition is an inner advisor, a counselor, even an oracle, which you can access anywhere, anytime, day or night; in the office, on a commuter train, at home while doing exercises, walking, relaxing, even sleeping. Unfortunately, many people ignore the intuitive mind and depend solely on logical thinking. Yet logic and intuition are necessary companions. Logic helps you organize and assess the forest of information in which we live.

Dictionary meaning of the word Intuition

1. Knowledge or perception not gained by reasoning and intelligence; instinctive knowledge or insight.
2. Anything learned or perceived in this way. Roots: Late Latin Intuition means contemplation; From Latin intueri to gaze upon. From tueri to look at. The word intuition comes from the Latin intueri, meaning to consider, to look on. This intuitive “look on” implies something deeper than simple perception and is best described as apperception, the ability to “take hold of” knowledge in one glance. Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary sums up intuition as “the immediate knowing or learning of something without the conscious use of reasoning; instantaneous apperception.” Simply stated, intuition is direct knowledge.

Q-2: Is everyone Intuitive?
