The phone rings, you are cleaning the house in a hurry but suddenly you know for an “instant” the
name of the caller without expecting any particular calls at that time. Driving home from work, you
have a “gut” or instant “knowing” that is not attached to any particular emotion. You recognize that
you should take another road home without any explanation for your thoughts. You decide to take the
road, arrive home safely and later find out that there was a car accident that included five deaths.
These are all examples of Intuition.
One dictionary explanation is:
“Intuition is an immediate form of knowledge in which the knower is directly acquainted with the
object of knowledge, which generally involves conceptualizing the object of knowledge by means of
rationale and analytical thought processes. “
Most cultures throughout mankind have honored and have been intrigued by powers of intuition.
Some philosophers consider the human experience of living daily to involve using intuitive thoughts
that are not formally recognized. Many Scientist are baffled what intuition means and what intuition
entails in everyday life. Partly, because many scientists have broken ground in their research using
certain hunches or intuitions.

Many theorists have studied and devised how intuition differs from
other senses.
Using intuition differs from having opinions. Opinions are based on
making conclusions about everyday occurrences and experiences;
intuition is a way of actually experiencing through objects and
possibly unexplainable incidences. Intuition is also different than
instinct; although the two can be intertwined. Instinct is usually a
genially born ability to distinguish various elements or to categorize
events for survival. Example: Most animals have the instinct with
their reflexes to turn away from a fast moving object such as a
baseball, before they may visualize it. In the same situation, intuition
would be explained by the same person who had an insight before
that they should not have attended an event, such as a ball game.
Intuition can also be defined by an intuitive that may not fully explain
other senses.

Intuition can also be defined by an intuitive that may not fully explain
why he/she has a feeling or opinion on a matter or event; however, the person may later rationalize
an intuition by developing a chain of logic to demonstrate why the intuition is valid.
Many people confuse and analyze their feeling of events: people and things based on their fear
rather than distinguishing if it was a true intuition. An example to differentiate fear vs. intuition can
be explained by a person may have a “fear” of traveling due to a posttraumatic stressor that
preceded the event. The person may have dizziness, feel sweaty and have a scared feeling to board
a plane and he or she may attribute these emotions to intuition as “Don’t get on this plane.” These
symptoms may be related to experiencing anxiety brought on by past history, and not merely
intuition. In the same situation: the same anxious person may have a sudden fleeing thought and
warning that came out of nowhere not board the plane. The difference is that intuition can hit a
person out of nowhere, like rock. Intuition gives the person a message or state of “knowing” on how
to proceed with the event and usually given a feeling of “knowing” that is not accommodated with
any other emotions such as fear. The intuition or message stands alone.
Everyone human and animal have the abilities to develop his or her intuition. It is a skill that can be
cultivated and nourished with practice. Some people say they strengthen their intuitive abilities with
meditation and visualizations.

Here are some other explanations of how intuition can be
perceived or experienced with various empirical senses:
CLAIRVOYANCE (clear seeing or clear vision) is experienced
when an individual discerns objects, people, or situations,
not with the physical eyes, but with an internal sense
sometimes referred to as the "third eye". Such "visions"
concern something beyond one's physical view such as
visualizing an event or object a thousand miles away or in the
perceived or experienced with various empirical senses:

visualizing an event or object a thousand miles away or in the
next room. Some people receive intuition messages through their REM dream states.
CLAIRAUDIENCE (clear hearing) is the ability to receive thoughts or information about a person or
situation through an auditory sense instead of a visual one. This information is actually inaudible to
the normal hearing range. It can be experienced as delicate sounds such as music, bells, or singing.
It might also manifest as a knocking, siren, or other attention-getting sound. Most often, it comes as a
voice that is literally heard either directly in the brain or through the auditory sense, as if it comes
from beside or behind the person.
This voice can have many aspects, at times sounding like the person's own, and at others taking on a
change of tone, volume, or pitch and sounding like someone else. It can take on an authoritarian tone
or that of warning, gentle prodding, or encouragement.
CLAIRSENTIENCE (clear sensing) is probably the most frequent way intuition manifests in our lives,
through hunches, gut feelings, or a sense of knowing without knowing how one knows. This
"sensing" is often accompanied by a physical sensation. The physical sensation can vary with each
person.
This information comes to us in a variety of ways. At times, it comes as a thought that walks across the
mind in a natural, subtle manner. When intuition comes to us in this way, it is so much like the regular
everyday thought processes in our minds that we can easily miss it, dismiss it, or mistake it for our
own ruminations.
