Your Subconscious: A Reservoir of Intuitive Wisdom

We all have access to a giant data bank containing all the information we could possibly need. This vast reservoir known as the subconscious contains stored memories, creativity, and wisdom. Wisdom in the form of an intuitive flash or insight comes from the subconscious. Your intuition operates to uncover the truth and wisdom within you. There are times when most people allow themselves to be spontaneous and allow pearls of wisdom to roll out.

The logical mind, or thinker, would have a difficult time telling you exactly where the subconscious resides and the intuitive mind graphically show how the subconscious works.

Somehow the straight facts, and that the logical uses becomes “MORE”.

Intuitive Tidbits

  • Intuition or inner (in) teaching (tuition) comes from the Latin verb intueri, which means looking or knowing from within.
  • Using your intuition will help you sense new possibilities and discover new alternatives. This gives you more flexibility and freedom of choice in decision-making.
  • To use intuition effectively, simply believe it works.
  • The more you use intuition, the more available it becomes to you.
  • Through repeated practice, you will improve your decision-making and make powerful early good decisions.
  • Several culprits can impair intuition: you engage in wishful thinking, you may be acting out of fear, you are too embedded in a sense of ownership, or you are projecting your needs onto someone or something else.
  • Keeping a journal will help you discover the internal signals that confirm your intuition is correct.

Ten Point Keys For Developing Your Intuition

These keys will help you open and walk through your intuitive doorway. Use them to become more balanced and integrated in your decision-making process or problem-solving activities. These keys will help you understand other people better, improve your creative touch, and help you unlock the wisdom of your subconscious.

  • Honor – Respect you flashes and resist giving them a label as silly or coincidental.
  • Brevity and simplicity – Express your hunches from the intuitive mind briefly in a word or two. Considerable talking belongs to the logical mind.
  • Symbol, picture, and imagery – The intuitive mind will turn on the images inside your head. Do you get the picture?
  • Suspend assumption – Use intuitive input as naively as possible without entertaining any preconceived notions.
  • First impressions – Your first impressions are usually correct.
  • Faint stirrings – Respect the weakly articulated impressions as strongly as you do the loud raps of intuition.
  • Active – passive – intuition can come passively, like a “flash out of the blue” or actively when you ask a question and wait for a reply.
  • Relax for enhanced receptivity – letting go of tension or stress helps you relax and receive the pictures, images and symbols sent by the intuitive mind.
  • Associate – Freely associating to the imagery sent by the intuitive mind will help you unravel the underlying meaning of the symbols. If you see your new employee as a bear, perhaps he “speaks the bare truth”.
  • Playful moments – Enjoy the intuitive process. Fun and levity weaken analysis and strengthen the intuitive flow.
