Intuition often called our sixth sense is the gut feeling that guides our perceptions. It is the basic of our nature that lies within us all. It is the hunches and insight we gain not from information but from the feel of a situation.
Intuition comes from a place very deep inside that is connected somehow to our own consciousness. It is compared like a tree of very deep root connected to levels way far from the ground and at the same time connected to the surface through its trunk and leaves.
Intuition requires a focused, receptive, non-judging state of mind in order to act and connect to our consciousness.
Meditation is a practice of quieting the mind and shifting from our normal state of awareness to a more focused and internal state of awareness. The changing levels of awareness corresponds to the different wave frequencies of the brain that act with it. We define these changes in frequencies as brain states.
There are four basic states, which we all experience everyday:
- Beta is the brain state we are in during our typical daily activities.
- Alpha is the sate that occurs when our body is deeply relaxed but our brain still maintains a sharp and
focused awareness.
- Theta states are deeper, more relaxed, where we lose our sense of being in a physical body and our
brain produces visions that seem as if we are living them.
We naturally experience Theta states every day just before falling asleep and just before waking from
sleep. It also can be induced through meditation.
- Delta state is our typical sleep state.
