How to Regain Intuition

Question

I had strong awareness of things around me when I was a kid, I only realised this now, in my introspective phase of life. Back then the intuition was pure and not influenced but at present it’s a chaos of voices in the head and the search is to find the true, strongest and real powerful intuition. How did we get here?

Answer

Dear Bhanu,

It is our ego, working through our desires and attachments, that have added the koshas (sheaths) of delusion to our lives. This is what has caused us to lose our natural intuition.

But, fortunately for us, we can regain that intuition, along with the true joy of who we really are, through meditation and attunement with the Divine. You don’t mention if you meditate or not, but meditation is the key to unlocking our highest potential. If you don’t already meditate, here is a link to get you started: meditation.
