Not only can rituals occupy your conscious
mind, freeing your brain’s associative powers
so intuition can bubble to the surface, they
are also actions that require an investment of
emotion. If you remove emotion or intention
from a ritual, it becomes a habit and habits
don’t transform lives because they lack
a sense of sacred meaning. A ritual isn’t
a ritual unless you perform it with feeling
and intention. Science has also shown that
deepening of emotion is the key to being
more intuitive.
In essence, the more meaningful ritual there
is in your life the more intuitive you are likely
to become. And the more intuitive you are
the better life choices you will make and the
happier and more fulfilled you are likely to be.

Being relaxed but distracted by an action
that doesn’t require much conscious thought
is the perfect combination for intuition to
emerge. That’s why we often have intuitive
insights not so much when we are meditating
or brainstorming or actively trying to trigger
insights, but when we are doing something
which doesn’t require our full attention yet
still keeps us distracted, such as walking,
showering or driving. During those times we
are also in a calm state of mind and this is
when inward-looking brilliance happens.
