Two Ways to Develop Intuition
In the last article, we talked about a method for developing intuition that I called mechanical, because you gradually cultivate this quality and skill, simultaneously building trust, and teaching your mind to correctly decipher the signals coming from outside.
But in reality, people who follow a spiritual path take a slightly different route, because our intuition is a direct connection with the Higher Self.
Now we’ll dive deeper into that directly, break down the processes, and understand how it happens.
The “Spiritual” Path – Activating the Connection with the Higher Self
Everyone knows about the right and left hemispheres.
Just as everyone knows that the left hemisphere is logical, analytical, and structured, and most people live that way — it’s often said that men or people with masculine energy mostly use the left hemisphere.
The right hemisphere is used by creative people.
This is our inspiration, perfect illogicality, loss of orientation in space and time, because time doesn’t exist there.
So when you get carried away by an idea and enter the process of Creation — your right hemisphere automatically turns on, and at that moment you connect precisely with your Vertical, with your Higher Self, with everything that is “above,” and you tap into the Super-mind, the Super-wisdom.
You can call it different things, but the most important thing is that at that moment, when your right hemisphere activates, you go beyond yourself and connect to what my husband calls the “universal internet.”
That is, to a space that extends beyond the physical world, which is why it’s called metaphysics.

Alpha and Beta States
So, the main task is to make it possible to connect to this channel at any moment.
All spiritual and physical practices are aimed at this.
That’s why meditation is used so intensively, because there are many different frequencies at which our brain operates.
These are the frequencies it emits. So, the lowest frequency, in which almost all people reside, is beta frequencies — this is a very high speed, a state where there’s a crazy amount of thoughts in your head.
For those who have moved away from this long ago — just recall moments when you were very fussy, very rushed.
That crazy jumble, when there’s constant chatter in your head, when you’re constantly talking to someone, arguing with someone, an endless, continuous stream of thoughts.
This is precisely the state in which the majority of humanity resides.

There is another state, deeper and calmer, that people usually enter through meditation. Normal people are asleep in this state. That is, if the first state is the beta waking state, then the other state is the state of slowing down, when the frequency and speed of thoughts moving in your head calm down and slow down.
It is very easy to identify — at the moment when you start to fall asleep, remember — first there is a burst of activity, you have many thoughts, and then you calm down, only a single thought remains in your head, it gradually disappears, and you enter the state of sleep.
And when you wake up — you are also in that sluggish state, nothing is happening around you, you wake up slowly, slowly, with a feeling that you are “turning on” to life.
This state is called the “alpha state.”
If you carry this state over into your entire life, then the process is precisely what gets launched.
As soon as the frequency of your brain’s activity (this is pure physiology) decreases, this impulse becomes lower, calmer — this is a signal for the right hemisphere to activate.
And then both hemispheres begin to work — the left and the right, they become balanced. This is what was given to humans by nature and what we have lost during our hectic lives, this race forward-forward, just to keep up.
In the future, they say, both of our hemispheres will merge.
Those who have come across literature about how men and women’s brains work differently, how their hemispheres interact differently — there is such a principle, single-channel and multi-channel.
It is no coincidence that in everyday life there is a saying that women, like Julius Caesar, can do many, many things, precisely because they switch easily, physiologically, from left to right, from right to left.
This does not apply to all women; there are very linear ones who think one thought at a time, no room for more, which is why men usually have business intuition, while women usually suffer from overly developed intuition and sensitivity.
It all depends on the frequency, and of course, when these two hemispheres are aligned and working at the same frequency — that is precisely when your channel of communication with the Higher Self opens.

By contacting a more experienced version of yourself, you will learn to solve problems, find the right answers, and attune to your future life where your dreams are already realized.
But this happens in the early stages, when you are just beginning to spiritually improve yourself and step onto this path, because later it suddenly turns out that you are constantly in this state, meaning you are always sending a more slowed-down version.
Remember the state of meditation, the sensations in the state of meditation, the feeling — as if you have actually slowed down, and now scroll through the next few days — what state were you in.
Remember and compare the two states, how often you are in an alpha state, in a state of light meditation, light sleep.
At this moment, your inner observer turns on, you develop heightened awareness, truly a level of heightened awareness, but you do not engage in the process itself.
That is, in your state — your consciousness is split, and it is precisely in this state that the channel of communication with the subtle world, with the higher plane, with the divine, opens.
Whatever you call it, at this moment you connect to the source of wisdom, and then your mind — you are not sorting through the little programs in it that were laid down over your lifetime, but it receives insight, inspiration, clarity, precisely those moments when you think, “Aha! How did I not think of this before?” When everything suddenly becomes clear.
Remember this moment well — “I spent so much time on this, I spent so much time trying to solve some situation with my mind, and suddenly it turns out — everything is so simple and clear.”
Clarity is good, the main sign that everything will be very simple, because the mind complicates, while wisdom gives simplicity, and this very moment is called the moment of connecting to your spiritual Vertical.
At this moment, you take information, take energy not from the surrounding space, not by sorting through all those little programs of what you once heard and saw, including your experience and some emotions. You draw all of this from above.
And in order to enter this state, you need to fulfill several parameters.
Why do they say that people who walk the spiritual path have heightened intuition, that many additional abilities turn on, which were once called extrasensory abilities, but now this is normal.
Another point is that they sometimes turn on, and sometimes they don’t turn on “on demand,” because this happens spontaneously and depends on your inner state.
And I will repeat once again, first is the moment of slowing down, when you slow down, the frequency of waves in the brain lowers and the right hemisphere automatically turns on, and this does not mean that everything around you is sluggish.
Remember the process of Creation. For the girls, this could be some culinary creation or cleaning, something active and creative.
When you start doing something, at that moment you are very active, but at the same time you have an even state.
A very even, calm, harmonious state, because a balancing of the two hemispheres occurs.
