Intuition Week 2: The Hidden Intelligence In Your Body

What happened this week absolutely blew me away.

Last week, I realized that an improved awareness is the key to your intuition. But the last seven days completely changed how I view intuition as a whole. Because intuition doesn't live in your mind alone – it's much more at home in your body.

The body always tells a story. It just uses another means of communication than we're used to in our left brain world.

But why is that important?

Because that's how the major part of intuition communicates with you.

We all know the feeling when we meet another person who seems nice, but something inside of our body screams: "danger". Or when you get asked to do something or go somewhere, but your gut tells you "no". You can't put it into words – into language – but something seems off.

That's your intuition communicating with you. But not through thoughts, but bodily sensations.

I suspect that language simply isn't a good enough communication tool for intuition. Language's processing speed is too slow. Much more information can be carried in bodily sensations than in thoughts articulated by language.

But the problem was that I had partially lost the connection to my body. I wasn't able to deeply feel what it wanted to tell me. And you can only access this information if you have the ability to feel the sensations in your body.

Luckily, the tool for intensifying these sensations is the same as before: meditation.

If you've meditated on your breath for a while, the mind is much more quiet than before. When your mind quiets, you're less distracted by thought. This lets you put your awareness on the body more easily. This widens the space of your awareness from your breath to your body.

It's a funny feeling at first, because the more concentrated you are on the sensations that appear, the actual shape of your body dissolves. You don't feel the actual shape of your limbs and torso. It's as if you were liquid, getting held in place, but flowing nonetheless. In some parts, the stream might be stronger, like when your foot falls asleep during meditation. You can feel a tingling sensation.

If you do this practice for a while, then the ability to feel your body more will spread into day-to-day life. That's what happened to me this week. The information stream of intuition intensified a hundredfold because of this simple realization.

I'm excited for what will happen next.
