Developing Your Own Personal Intuition Zone

A human being's ability to think beyond the five senses is something that has always fascinated me. Have you had feelings of having a certain power to foretell things before it happened or had this gut feeling that what you're doing is not right?

I ‘know' because I've gone through it. Sure there have been many instances where I have ignored such feelings and ended up in trouble. They say "hindsight is 20/20 vision," and know I know that it was because I had no real knowledge about intuition; I had no way to accurately understand and interpret the signals that my intuition was sending to me.

As I've developed my intuition further, I've started to consider the possibility that we all born with intuition. The only thing that varies is our natural alignment and awareness of our intuition.

On this hub, we'll explore some of the ways you can develop your intuition more effectively.

Here's one simple (yet surprisingly challenging) brain exercise that you probably haven't heard of nor tried before.

As you know we have two parts to our brain, the left side and the right. The left part of our brain usually does the verbal, analytical, rational and all the logical tasks. When it comes to planning, doing systematic work, and all sorts of serious work, it is our left-brain that plays the dominant role. The right-brain on the other hand is good at identifying nonverbal cues, etc. It is the right-brain that is more creative and intuitive.

So if you want to encourage your right-brain to work more than the left, then you must intentionally find ways for the two halves to connect. One such way is to draw. Yes... drawing, but not in a way that you're typically accustomed to. Instead, you must draw with your non-dominant hand while looking at pictures that are upside down.

I know this sounds a bit crazy, but bear with me...

The rationality of this is that you put the left-brain into a confused state, leaving space for the right-brain to get more active and play the dominant role.   Have you ever heard somebody say that the best way to solve a problem is just to sleep on it?  Well, when your left-brain gets too tired of this whole confusing upside-down thing, it will give up on the task and let the right brain get involved.
   
As you continue with this exercise (frustrating as it may be), eventually solutions will seem to appear out of "thin air."  These solutions are coming from your intuition - from a place where wisdom, knowledge, ideas, and creation all merge together. For many people, this is a place that many of us never even knew existed.

To help with this exercise, I've placed an upside-down image below that you can try drawing. :)

There's actually a lot of resources to help develop your intuition. One of my challenges is that discovering intuition has been primarily about trial and error. Like I mentioned before, it's taken me almost a decade just to start taking my intuition seriously, but one thing that has helped me is just going with the flow, and you can read more about that here:

Developing Intuition By Going With the Flow

Fortunately, intuition is finding more and more applications in our lives, and people are taking it more seriously. There's entire programs devoted just to using intuition in business. The real challenge is finding out which intuition development programs are the most effective, and also which ones are realistic, practical, and aligned for where we are uniquely at in our journeys.

For example, if you want to explore more left / right brain integration, then be sure to check out The Monroe Institute or Holosync. Both of these programs use audio technologies to easily connect the left and right brains.

Another program that I am currently exploring is called Intuition Zone. I'm only part-way through the program, but so far it has been really helpful for me and I'm looking forward to exploring it further.
