Listening to your intuition: a forgotten sense

We have learned to trust our reason, our logic, our capacity for analysis. But amid this mental noise, another voice can be heard — subtler, quieter: that ofintuition.

Intuition, a forgotten sixth sense

Intuition is not a gift reserved for a few people. It is a natural sense, as real as sight or hearing, but expressed through finer sensations: an impulse, a shiver, an immediate certainty, with no rational explanation.

In our modern societies, we have often pushed this faculty into the background, considering it vague or irrational. Yet our ancestors placed it at the heart of their relationship with the world: they found their way, made decisions, and sometimes survived thanks to this inner feeling.

How does intuition show itself?

• Through the body : a knot in the stomach, a sudden relaxation, a shiver.

• Through fleeting images : a quick vision that comes to mind.

• Through an immediate certainty : “I don’t know why… but I feel it’s right.”

• Through synchronicity : those coincidences that seem to come at just the right moment.

Intuition does not seek to convince. It arises in silence.

How can you find it again?

To learn to listen to your intuition again, you need to slow down, quieten the mind and create space within.
A few ideas:

• Practise listening to your body : conscious breathing, meditation, relaxation.

• Welcome silence : switch off outside demands, even for a few minutes a day.

• Keep an intuition notebook : write down your spontaneous feelings before the mind starts analysing them.

• Trust yourself : act on a small feeling, even if reason says otherwise, and observe the result.

Intuition and energy treatment

In my practice, intuition is an essential guide. My hands sometimes follow paths I had not planned. I feel an area calling, an energy resisting, a breath asking to be released.
Each treatment becomes a living encounter, where intuition connects me as much to the person as to the energy flowing.

At the Centre Ananda, we also offer introductions where intuition finds its full place again. Because everyone can learn again to listen to this forgotten sense, and make it a precious ally in daily life.
