Anubhava - "Intuition"

How does one tap into their intuition? How does one become more intuitive?

First, the seat of our intuition is the medulla oblongata, the uppermost portion of the spine, where it intersects with the skull. And Ajna, the Third Eye center, is the forward most center of one's intuition. (In Yoga, the Three Master Poses are important because of their emphasis in these areas.)

Anubhava is one's perception and understanding, one's experience and knowledge derived from personal observation. For example, when one really wants to reason something out, it may take a lot of time, but when one gets an intuitive flash, it's immediate. Then, if one wants to prove it, they can reason it out. What normally happens: One discovers that reason and intuition agree.

Anubhava is more direct than reason, which is why you should always use anubhava. Always go inward - trusting Self - to find answers, rather than scurrying around in the externalities of the mind.

Read this Note and apply it to yourself, making every metaphysical and philosophical area work within you. Do not carry this information about as 'knowledge' or 'Yoga wisdom' - which is the intellect, but as inner 'knowing'.

It takes time to remind the subconscious that one is a spiritual being whose existence does not begin and end with this life. Therefore, this inner teaching must begin to be applied as soon as it has begun to be understood. The superconscious mind - the 'god consciousness', or 'christ consciousness', or 'self consciousness' - is the most wonderful area of the mind there is, although .. awareness is not always in it. So that, one is not always aware of the superconscious mind, being too busy with the conscious mind - the everyday, waking, talking and working mind.

When one feels as if they are living in the moment .. in the now .. as if there is no past and there never has been any past or future, one is becoming subconsciously certain that they are in an intense, vibrating entity of the eternal now. That is the superconsciousness, and that is Real.
