Understanding how to pay attention to your intuition or  ‘natural knowing’ is a vital skill for success in business and life

If people like Oprah Winfrey and Sir Richard Branson are always talking about the power of using your intuition, then learning how to use it is only going to add a valuable and profitable skill to your repertoire ...

1: All of us have ‘natural knowing’ or intuition

Everyone has the potential to tap into this wisdom as long as you know how

Take a look at something that went wrong in the past, that with hindsight you realized that you knew it would go wrong (but still did it anyway). In hindsight, here were probably some ‘red flags along the way that you dismissed because you didn’t ‘have proof’.

That was your inner knowing, guidance or intuition working in your best interests.

'Learning to trust your instincts, using your intuitive sense of what's best for you, is paramount for any lasting success.

I've trusted the still, small voice of intuition my entire life.

And the only time I've made mistakes is when I didn't listen' 

Oprah Winfrey

2: Your intuition lives in your body not in your mind

Meditation is one of THE most powerful practices to decrease your mind chatter so you can hear, feel, see or sense your inner knowing.

You may think you’re not the meditating type but if you want to get your gut-feeling train going, then ‘get your meditation on’ – 10 mins a day is all it takes

3: Get physical … pay attention to your body's sensations and responses

Whenever you have to make decisions, ask yourself, what am I feeling? What am I sensing in my body right now?

• Do you feel an immediate sense of dread? Are you getting tight in your chest or your shoulders, do you feel tired or reluctant?
• On the other hand, do you feel a sense of openness or lightness or excitement or a sense of relief? 

Your Intuition speaks to you through your physical and emotional feelings, not thoughts.

4: Ask for guidance

Each of us has access to an infinite source of wisdom, whether you call it God, Spirit, Source or any other name

If you find yourself stuck - or anticipating being stuck - in a certain situation, ask for guidance.

The response is accelerated depending on how genuine and emotional you are when asking -  it's the emotions the Universe responds to, not so much the words.

Once you ask for guidance, listen to hear the answer

It can be very subtle, like a whisper and you have to know how to tune in and pay attention; it may come immediately or days later ... JUST KNOW IT WILL BE ANSWERED

Research also shows that  …

When you give your subconscious mind a little bit of a break or time to process, it will come up with the perfect intuitive answer

Meditation is the fastest way to get in touch with your intuition accurately

And 10 minutes a day is a great place to start.

'Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition ... they somehow know what you truly want to become'

Steve Jobs
