We tend to associate intuition with the air element, the flow, something that’s ephemeral, something that comes and goes. But intuition is not transient because it is eternally within and with us, guiding and leading us. It is that nudge, those two hands pressing against our backs, directing us, constantly signaling useful information to us. Thus, it is a part of us. It is part of our physical being because our bodies express, through our senses, what our intuition is trying to tell us. We can feel it. We feel it in our emotions, our gut, our most intense sensations. And we hear it; it is there. And if we are in tune with it, we listen.

But intuition is not to be confused with the mind, with thinking, because the mind is prone to rationalizing, and rationalizing tends to lead us to associate with things that are disconnected from the truth, which then plants the seed of doubt and quiets our intuitive desires.

This is why curiosity is so important. If we are curious, we start to pay attention to the signals, the cues, the sensations manifesting in our physicality. And the more attention we give them, the more in tune with them we become, and the more our rational minds tune out the WHY behind them.

But mastering the art of intuition requires trust in ourselves and trust in God because the true mastery of intuition is the belief that it is the whisper of God manifesting physically within us, there to guide us and light the way.
