What is intuition, and does everyone have it — or is it a gift conferred upon some people only? A literal translation of “intuition” from the Latin is “in to you.” We interpret the “in to you” as knowledge that comes from sources other than books, classroom lectures, films, and other tangible transmissions of information.
Most people, in describing that they intuited a person’s state of mind — and sometimes even their actual or impending illness — cannot describe the process other than to say “I just felt it.” Essentially, it is a non-verbal, non-cognitive knowing of something actual or about to occur.

I believe that intuition is sent to us from our higher selves — that wiser, knowing part of us hidden from view — to guide us toward our survival first, followed by the attainment of what is good and right for us and for others. As inner navigators, flashes of intuition are useful in helping us make our way through many of the complexities of living, to secure our survival while pointing us toward the Higher Good. (more…)
