Intuition: Accessing Your Inner Wisdom

by Geoffrey Jowett

The only real valuable thing is intuition. ~ Albert Einstein

Intuition is the power and ability to acquire knowledge without inference, observation or the use of reason; it all comes from within. It can be defined, too, as the act of knowing or sensing without the use of rational processes and the feelings, hunches, ideas, impressions and suspicions related to things. In other words, you do not need to Google, research, or do an inquiry of outside resources to know the answer; it’s all within you.

Your intuition is often referred to as your knowing or inner voice. Your knowing is always right! How then can your intuition change about a specific situation, relationship, or circumstance? How can your intuition be different from someone else’s? Intuition is based on your personal and internal experiences. Since no two people have exactly the same experiences, their point-of-view varies, and therefore, their intuition could be diverse. Your inner knowing is subjective based on your perspective from your life understanding.

Inner knowing is based on the present moment, the now. At this specific moment, based on all your understanding, your intuition presents a feeling about a situation. In time, things change and so does your perspective. Your intuition about a specific event might change from one day to the next, but that does not make it wrong.

All knowing must complement knowledge. Intuition is not your imagination or fantasy about some situation; it is the actual knowing of the specific conditions or circumstances associated with the situation. Your inner knowing should correspond and match the actual facts.

Often, terms like instinct, psychic or mediumship are confusingly used with the term intuition. Your instinct is your lowest level of knowing or the fight or flight survival response. All animals have this basic level of knowing to live and thrive.

With your psychic abilities, you are actually picking up on signals that others are broadcasting or carrying in their energy field. This process is not about going within to your knowing, but rather you are reaching outward for information. As a medium, you are also sensing energies external to yourself and connecting with the unique energies of a person who has died, and you convey specific evidential and inspirational information accurately. Remember that intuition is an inner awareness or knowing without knowing how we know and drawing on past, present or future insight.
