eMag ~ Intuition & Third Eye Awakening

Awakening Intuition and the Power of the Third Eye

This month, our teaching focuses on intuition, the most important faculty for connecting with our inner life and developing our spirituality.

Intuition is a form of perception that's neither obvious nor routine. In the moment of intuition, we become the seer, the outlier, and the inventor. Suddenly, we see some truth beyond tangible facts and personal experience; we have no rational proof, but an inner knowing informs us that these feelings are accurate and potent.

Intuition is an instant knowing that can guide us towards inspired and creative living. It requires openness, awareness, and inner silence to sense the subtle threads between things, events, and problems. However, intuition has its challenges. It is severely inhibited by overthinking, worry, stress, and a mundane and materialistic lifestyle. Today, these obstacles are all too common.

Intuition is not something you can control. You can't switch it on and off at will, as you do with analytical thinking. However, you can set the conditions for intuition to become an active, guiding influence in your life in the following ways:

1. Learn the psychology of intuition: Delve into the cognitive processes behind intuitive thinking. Learn how your subconscious mind processes information and how intuition differs from logical reasoning.
2. Develop non-rational perception: Learn magical techniques for moving beyond localized perception and how to inhabit multiple perspectives.
   
3. Develop psychic awareness: Awaken, strengthen, and support psychic awareness through third-eye meditations while remaining grounded (grounding is often the missing link in psychic development programs, which can cause imbalance.)

Our Awaken Your Third of Intuition Course aims to address these three phases (more information on that below).

In this edition of our eMag, we explore the powerful connection between intuition and the Third Eye Chakra (Ajna Chakra), offering insights and practical tools to deepen your inner knowing and spiritual growth. Contents include:

Personal Stories

An Intuitive Choice

While studying medicine, I had an opportunity to do a rotation at Harvard Medical School in America or go to India to study yoga and meditation. At that time, I had a very powerful intuitive insight that going to India was what I had to do, even though many of my friends and family told me this would ruin my career. Fifty years later, I can still remember the power of that intuition and the deep certitude it gave me that I was on the right path. I knew that rather than trying to fit into what others were projecting onto me, I had to find out who I was. This path has allowed me to meet and study with many great teachers and gain the knowledge Jayne and I are passing on to our students and patients.

As a result, I feel deeply fulfilled and grateful.

Wu Wei and Intuition

I've come to understand intuition as a knowing that stirs in the quiet inner spaces of our being. Intuition comes instantly, much like lightning illuminates the entire field at once. It leaps forth—not because we weigh the available information but because we've tapped into the well of inner knowing.

Intuition plays a significant role in my dream work and counseling sessions. I pay attention to subtlety and subtext because the unspoken and unexpressed are what give expression its form, much like how the rests in music create rhythm.

This approach differs from conventional counseling, which often focuses on visible issues. While traditional methods help clients make sound judgments, rationalize feelings, and modify behavior—essential first steps—they only scratch the surface of human feeling and potential. My work aligns more with the idea that life is emerging from the great abyss within, the mirror of the cosmic void. We are here to move with that power, not to wrestle it.

When we see life from this perspective, from the feelings and insights arising from the invisible yet potent world within, we perform fewer but more effective actions. Overthinking leads us to act excessively out of nervousness, harboring bad ideas, preconceptions, and assumptions that only breed confusion. We often find ourselves taking paths that lead to dead ends, forcing us to backtrack and seek new routes. Instead, we would be better served by lingering at the crossroads, allowing our inner wisdom to guide our next move.

When we relax into active waiting, we create space for intuition to emerge. This is Wu-Wei, the non-action that the Dao taught me long ago—a paradoxical stillness that breeds the most potent movement. In my younger days, I hurried to push mysteries into the sunlight, to expose and capture them like caging endangered species. My eagerness to understand often clouded the very wisdom I sought.

These days, I've learned to wait with the moon, making my way in the half-light because intuition lives here, on the other side of the sky.

Reflection 

Here are 5 reflection points to consider as you move through the month.

1. How do you recognize when your intuition is guiding you, and how does it feel different from rational thought or emotion?
2. What habits or thought patterns do you notice that inhibit your ability to tap into intuition?
   
3. How can you cultivate more openness and inner silence in your daily routine to create space for intuition?
4. What experiences have challenged your trust in intuition, and how might you overcome these doubts?
   
5. When have you trusted your intuition despite having no tangible proof—what was the outcome, and how did it affect your faith in intuitive guidance?
