awareness or future knowledge or creative
self-expression that is within each one of
us but often suppressed. ‘I just knew’ or ‘I
trusted my gut’ are vague phrases they often
use, along with other equally vague phrases
and words such as ‘sixth sense’, ‘hunch’,
and so on.
In a nutshell, intuition is your connection
to something deeply wise within you that
leads you to make decisions based on your
highest level of good judgment. It provides
you with valuable insights about yourself,
your life, the people you interact with and
the situations you encounter. It is not a moral
compass or a supreme authority about what
is absolutely right and wrong for everyone.
But it does provide a sense of what is right
for you and what isn’t going to be in your best
interests. It is informed by but also beyond
reasoning, logic or experience, and is an
amazing source of wisdom, understanding
and potential. It is your highest self. The best
possible you.

is the inner voice many of us lose contact
with and don’t know how to identify when it
does try to speak. While there is some truth
in that as intuition is elusive, it is possible
to boost your intuitive reflex through daily
rituals. But how? In my latest book, 21 rituals
to ignite your intuition, I show how ritual can
powerfully boost your intuition.
Rituals are the key
to unlocking your
intuition
Science is proving that intuition is a real
super sense but to connect to it we need to
be in a confident, relaxed, preferably positive
and calm state of mind. Research has also
shown that anxiety can lead to poor-decision
making. It seems that, when we are fearful,
this short circuits the brain’s unconscious
associative process. Rituals are therefore
ideal for boosting intuition because they
occupy and calm your conscious mind with
the action or task performed, while at the
same time allowing your brain’s associative
powers to get to work, producing the intuitive
guidance you need.
