Sixth sense — the micro-levels of our intuition

There are minute details in our environment that we recognize with our entire body. Not just with our eyes and ears, but with are all of our senses. When these senses all work together, it can be considered a sixth sense.

Sharpen your sensory skills:

Take some time to notice the nuances of each sense. Spend some time each day on one of your senses. Mentally note the smallest thing you encounter with that sense. Write down what you experience and attach a meaning to it.

For example, if you are getting an upset stomach, take note of the feeling and guess why your tummy is doing flip-flops, besides that breakfast burrito you had at 10 am. Think more esoterically. Does any person or situation pop into your head? Are you thinking about your mom and need to give her a call? You’ll become hyper-aware on a subconscious level.

Individual senses may also become keener. For instance, if you spend time listening to the sounds around you, you might start hearing a song play in your head or remember that your grandmother used to tell you to clean behind your ears. These are clairaudient signals, where you’re tapping into your intuition. Write those down too and what it means — your impression of what you hear. You can also do this with taste, smell, vision, and touch.

When you hone five of your senses, you’re taking in cues from the external world and are working together to form your sixth sense.

When our intuition takes over

Think of a time when you’ve been by yourself: it could be a road, a parking lot, inside the car, or walking down the grocery aisle at the store. All of a sudden, the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. You become afraid, and I’m talking about the fear that makes you feel like you’re going to die. You can’t explain why, but you know that you need to get out of there fast and into a safe place. But why? Why would you run or at least swiftly walk out of that area? What is creating that visceral reaction within you?

It could be an overactive imagination, or it could be a real threat. You don’t know for sure. All you know is you need to get the hell out of there.

If you’re alone with that intense fear, would you suppress it? Would you write it off as silly? Or would you listen to yourself and get the fuck out of there?

Hopefully, your answer would be the last one of those choices.

So, why not use this advanced ability for your good and not just to keep you in the realm of being a victim. Why always use this ability on the defensive and not take it to the next level?

You can do so much more with his heightened sixth sense than you ever thought was possible. You can even use it to predict certain patterns that will happen in the immediate future. It can actually save your life.

Here’s an example:

I was driving home from work about seventeen years ago. I took the regular route, it was moving along well, and I was listening to a song on the radio. I felt great, I was planning on getting home to have dinner with my family.

For some reason, I felt like I needed to be more alert and the radio was distracting me. I did something I never do — I turned off the radio. I focused more on the road. I got more in tune with the traffic and drove like this for a couple minutes.

Shortly after that, I saw a car in oncoming traffic going much too fast. He was going to hit the car in front of him, so to avoid that, he veered over the meridian and within a split second I saw he was going to hit me head on.

I pulled my car to the right to avoid a head-on collision. He hit me anyway. He smashed into the right front driver’s side of my car. I watched, as if in slow motion, his car scrape all the way down the left side of my car before I drove into a ditch.

I sat there, shocked but unharmed. I walked away from that accident. I was told later that if I hadn’t turned into the ditch, he would have hit me head-on and I would have been injured or dead.

Somehow, I can’t explain how, but I knew that that accident was going to happen. I never saw it coming until it was right there, but my psyche, or my intuition, or whatever it was, made me turn off my radio and pay attention. It saved my life.

Always trust your intuition. It will never fail you.
