Developing Sensitivity and Intuition

"Follow your intuition. That's where true wisdom is, it's your connection to the universe" - Caroline Myss

Intuition is the ability to understand something immediately, without conscious reasoning or logical thought. It's often described as a "gut feeling" or a hunch, and it can guide decision-making based on subconscious knowledge and past experiences.

Intuition is not merely a mystical phenomenon — psychological research suggests it is deeply rooted in the brain’s capacity to rapidly synthesize and interpret information, drawing upon patterns, experiences, and subtle cues that may not be immediately apparent to the conscious mind. While the process often seems instantaneous and inexplicable, it appears to be grounded in the accumulation of knowledge, emotional intelligence, and subconscious pattern recognition.

Intuition plays an important role in the process of awakening to the authentic self because it represents the aspect of our being connected with our inner essence. When we speak about intuition, we speak about the guide that comes directly from the Higher Self (or Soul). Our intuition, which we can also see as an inner teacher (IN-tuition), constantly speaks to us, whether we listen to it or not; intuition is that part of us that knows exactly where we have to go and what we must do, that inner voice that is constantly in touch with the Universal Mind and that shows us, at any time, the path of our life and helps us to manifest it.

In the everyday life we are often distracted by the intellect which, through rationality, gives us a personal interpretation of things, almost always strongly judging. Activating intuition in a maieutic way means to stimulate an inner process of self-inner knowledge and understanding.

Intuition is an essential and enriching facet of human consciousness. By embracing mindfulness, seeking diverse experiences, and balancing logic with openness, you can strengthen your intuitive abilities and navigate life’s complexities with greater confidence and grace. When intuition is wisely integrated, it becomes a powerful partner in creativity, relationships, and decision-making in the daily life.

Cultivating intuition invites you to trust yourself, remain receptive to life’s unfolding, and discover new depths of wisdom within. Developing this inner compass can illuminate our path and give us the strength to live more authentically and vibrantly.

The development of intuition is a journey—a process of tuning in, refining awareness, and learning to trust oneself at ever deeper levels. This course aims to be the first step of a long inner journey aiming to provide a comprehensive foundation, a toolkit of practical exercises, and an open space for exploration. By weaving together science, creative practice, and inner work, participants will emerge with a deeper understanding of themselves and the world, empowered to navigate the complexity of life with clarity and wisdom.

“…..education is undergoing important transformation. From relatively external process of pouring in facts, it is increasingly becoming a process of evoking the deeper generative possibilities that lie within the individual”.
- H. A. Overstreet

In our daily life we are often dragged into using the mind as a tool to understand reality, but the truth is that the mind is a slayer of the real. It may mislead our perception of the external world and make us become intellectualized and knowledge-based, causing an overloading and misuse of the lower mental body.
The mental is an aspect of the personality, while intuition is a quality of the soul. Between the two there is a gap that can only be bridged through a meditation technique which assists us in “thinking in the heart”. Blending the mind and the heart is a necessity for the higher mind to open our consciousness to the beauty, truth and love of the soul and support a direct knowledge of the divine.
Developing intuition means to become an instrument of intelligence for the soul and be guided without the interposing intermediary of the intellect.
During this 3-day course we will explore what is the purpose of developing intuition and how the soul can enhance her control over the personality instrument. We will explore the Law of Rebirth and the process of At-one-ment.
