Answer 1

How easy is it for you to follow your intuition?



~~~ First you need sufficient experience to be able to recognize it.





Was it maybe automatic when you were younger?



~~~ Yeah, I was more aromatic when I was younger!





or have you had to cultivate and hone the ability as you've grown older and wiser?



~~~ Still cultivating, still honing...





Has family, society, culture or basic life training enhanced or hindered your intuitive ability along the way?



~~~ It is all part of the whole.

And intuition is wholistic! *__-





----and do you trust your intuition now?

Answer 2

It doesn't automatically follow that the older you get the wiser you become.

Old people can do incredibly stupid things.

What can and does happen is that as we age we may gain more knowledge,

experience, sophistication all kinds of layers that we think, in our blind vanity,

gives us a superior wisdom. So often, intellect, will, the ego or what ever term you care

to use gets in the way of feeling, a hunch. Intuition, that gut feeling is very often

the more reliable guide. Yet we ignore it even though since the dawn of the human

race it has aided our survival and development. The reason we distrust it? It's

an abstract concept not available for physical disection or scientific analysis.

The modern world dictates that we must control and understand.

Instinct doesn't allow easy analysis, it's a primative echo of our distant past

very much present if we choose to open ourselves and listen.

It goes to the very core of what it is to be human and alive.

Answer 3

its always there in the back of my mind but its unreachable. Its like someone else is looking through my eyes telling me how to live. We've been taught how to live our whole lives. We go to school to learn the way we should be then we all get jobs and live the way weve been taught. Weve been taught the line between right and wrong and our family beliefs have been the only way we have ever known. When do we ever get to use our own intuition when our lives have already been planned for us?

If we see something in the corner of our eye, something that shouldnt be there but is... its a trick of the light. If someone has voices in there head its a mental condition, and if we sense something is going to happen before it does its luck. What if these things are all real and we are turning are heads because of what we have been taught. If we all followed our intuition i think our minds would be more advanced, we would see the world for what it really is and wed be what we want to be.

Answer 4

The destruction of intuition starts with the first lesson most children are taught. It goes like this, "obey authority are you will be punished." This causes several things to happen. First, with the threat of punishment hanging over the child's head the child's thought processes are no longer a logic-based but fear-based. Secondly, the child is automatically forced to accept the station of "inferior" relative to any authority figure. And if a human being can be conned into believing they are inferior then they automatically begin to quit believing in themselves. This is how this society of morons has been developed. Now if the term morons offends you just think of this, how could any intelligent person claimed to be free and governed at the same time. Never going to happen.

Answer 5

I have no 'choice' on whether I follow it or not, I don't really think about it. For example "I" intuitively thought of this answer ;).



It is not 'my' intuition that I trust, it is existence itself (even, tho in a way you can say that I do because I too am part of existence!), I do not understand it (and therefore can't judge it), yet, I find myself with no 'choice' but to trust it, it doesn't matter what may or not happen in the 'future' or what has happened in the 'past'. We are here and now, aren't we?

Answer 6

I believe so, it was easier when we're younger. Because at a young age, you don't really think much of consequences should your intuition is wrong so you go for it anyway. It's that adventurous spirit we're born with that's so eager to explore.



But as we grow older and 'wiser', we begin to give high regard to consequences of actions. Such 'caution' if not done within limits can turn to fear which, in return, can limit us from reading further into possibilities.

Answer 7

My intuition I feel is part of what keeps me to where I can experience life. And we learn from that so I believe each time you learn something you gain intuition. You get a vibe about something because of some reason or lesson you have had. Keeps you on your toes though on just knowing you got it but not sure if your going to use and fallow it.

Answer 8

You may have a glowing sense of intuition, yet you may hesitate to follow your good soul's hints because from parents, culture, school, you have been inculcated the fear of failing, of doing wrong.



Your eagerness to freely unfold your good intuition is repressed or delayed by the scruple or qualm that you perhaps are thinking and doing wrong.



You may end up greatly trusting your intuition and yet you will desist from unfolding your intuition because you will be hesitating, wondering whether others will approve of the quality or permissiveness of your intuitive insights.



If you have a good useful tool, you will not show it to your brother because of your fear that he might laugh and say that it is not a smart tool but a toy.



When your intuition tells you about the suggestion of a good strategy, you may leave your intuition behind because of your fear that people will botch that strategy of yours that according to your intuition is good and appropriate.



You may daringly try and communicate what you think are your good intuitions or insights to those people that expressly will ask you about your suggestions, about your help.



When you do trust your good intuitions, when you do make use of your good insights, your life may greatly be benefited from your spiritual and material activity. So you may get in your soul, in your eyes, in your face, in the whole of your own person and personality, the fresher more sun-kissed glow of healthier more free life!



I am not kidding! Ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! Good luck!

Answer 9

When one is Psychic,

the Intuition is such an integral part of being Psychic

one cannot separate them.

My abilities have proven to be correct and most accurate

to the extent that it is not only 'easy' to follow my Psychic/Intuition

but a much wiser decision due to a proven track record...



I Trust My abilities....

Answer 10

I keep my instincts finely tuned. They have saved my skin many a time when I could not trust another soul. This is an intrinsic feature, that comes in every form of life upon birth into this world. Most human beings lose this vital asset after about seven years old. Because animals do not have the intelligence or rationale of man, they maintain this to keep them safe and - alive. :D



Peace and Blessings always...

Answer 11

Don't think twice, go with it; intuition is God speaking to you. You will never regret following your intuition. The only regrets I have had is when I did not follow my intuition. It's not a thought process, it is a choice; period, just do it.

Answer 12

We are all born with a complete & intact truth sense, but most of us lose it along the way to adulthood.

Little 5 year old Johnny can feel something is wrong with mommy even though she tries to hide it from her son.

So little Johnny asks her what is wrong.

In her misguided attempt to protect her son, she lies & tells him nothing is wrong.

At that moment little Johnny has a choice, believe that inner voice & feeling or believe his god like mommy.

In most normal homes mommy wins out every time.

It doesn't take too many incidents like this before little Johnny stops listening to his inner voice.

By the time he has started school he can't even remember he ever heard it.



I wasn't like little Johnny.

My mother was unpredictable & abusive.

I knew from a very early age that I could not depend on what she told me so I have always trusted my instincts.

Still, there is other input that can blur the clarity of our instincts & inner voice.

I had to work on separating my own insecurities & misinterpretations to gain better clarity.

Today, I trust my instincts & that inner guide implicitly.

Many Blessings!

Answer 13

Intuition has been good to me, but is delicate in nature, kind of like butterflies wings. When the hurdles are difficult it can only get me so far some days. But where ever I go, it goes with me and it serves me well.

Answer 14

The important thing is how much you trust in it. And the more you experience positive results, the more you will trust it to be correct. And yes, I think it might have been easier when we were younger because we weren't expecting anything. The world was large and unknown. Anything was possible.

Answer 15

I think intuition is still in the field of our thought, which will be thrown from positive feelings and thinking.

Do you think is it something beyond the thought?



If it so, how can we convey it to another, we can not convey it in words!

Answer 16

It's always been there and of course it develops with time. It gets better and better, especially when I'm on my own and connected to the Essence. I trust it with all my heart -otherwise I wouldn't be here today, and I probably wouldn't be alive either...-.

Answer 17
