The HeartMath Institute, and others, have conducted very interesting research that proves that we (our entire information processing mind, body, spirit) are able to receive information about future events.
First, let’s review the three types of intuition.
Three basic types of intuition
Although these are not the scientific names, there are three ways that intuition is commonly understood:
Past Intuition (Dual Process Theory)
This is a present experience that connects unconsciously with a similar past experience or event. The brain is always matching past experiences with current needs.
A nurse walks into a patient’s hospital room and instantly “knows” what to do. If asked, she cannot tell you how she knew the answer. She just did.
This is a matter of connecting patterns that are deeply ingrained in your unconscious mind. When similar patterns show themselves, an answer appears. The answer may not be an accurate solution if the past experience did not resolve the similar issue.
It is called Dual Process Theory to describe how the brain works by viewing reality at two different levels – one that we are quite conscious of and another where the mind is very active in resolving issues.
