INTUITION WORKS IN RELAXATION

Intuition, relaxation and creativity are inborn talents of all human beings. This talents make us distinct and sets us apart from other animals in this world. However, to harness the power of our intuition and creativity, we must learn to relax mentally and physically. It is because of our ability to relax that we are creative and intuitive; we can look at old ideas and discover new thing in them.

If you are intuitive, you can tell what others are thinking, understand what others are feeling, and help yourself to make the best choices for yourself and your family. When we face problems and aren't able to solve them in the conventional way, we knowingly or unknowingly seek for creative solutions for the problem. The more relaxed and creative we are at solving problems, the more intuitive we become to create and adapt concepts.
