The five basic senses are smell, sight, taste, touch and hearing.Material sensations allow us to see things around us.In addition to the five fundamental senses, humans also have a sixth sense that is sensitive to subtler, non-physical sensations.The sixth sense is a feeling of knowing something without previous knowledge.Learn how and why to use your sixth sense.
Step 1: Pick up your intuition.
Gut feeling is the term for something that you know is likely based on feeling rather than reasoning.It is considered intuitive when you get a liking or dislike for someone you just met or have a good or bad feeling about something.Intuition is a skill that can be developed with practice and attention, and it is believed to be a form of quick information processing.The more rich and complex your experiences, the more likely you are to develop unconscious, intuitive knowledge about a wide range of situations and experiences.To develop your intuition, you have to expose yourself to people, places, and things.It is important to pay attention to your feelings when you encounter something.Take the time to note how you feel about them and the circumstances that led to them.The more you practice observing others and your unconscious reactions to them, the better you will be to your intuition.
Step 2: Keep a journal.
Dreams are thought to be unconscious expressions of our inner feelings.Valuable intuitive information can be found in them, which your conscious mind may be unaware of.It's a good idea to write down everything you remember from your dreams when you wake up.People, places, objects, and feelings are things to note.It's possible to make connections between your dreams and feelings in your life.As you begin to draw connections between your conscious and unconscious experience, you will become more aware of and attentive to the more subtle ideas and experiences happening below the surface of your immediate consciousness.
Step 3: It is free to write.
Free writing is when you sit down with a blank sheet of paper and write whatever you want.It is possible to use free writing to tap into the part of your consciousness that exists before your rational mind intercedes.If you want to free write, sit down in a quiet place.If you don't know what to write, take out a blank sheet of paper and start writing.You can start by asking yourself a question such as, "What do I need an answer to?" or " What's been on my mind lately?"
Step 4: It is possible to notice small things.
Learning how to pay attention to small or minute details is a part of developing a sixth sense.The more attention you pay to your surroundings, the more aware you become of slight changes and variations.Enhancing your perception helps you to notice subtle shifts and changes in your environment, and eventually to anticipate certain things before they happen.Imagine a street that you travel frequently.Try to imagine it as close to reality as you can.Where are the shops located?Which traffic signs are posted?What are the parking regulations?What kind of landscaping does the street have?Write down as many details as you can remember, then visit that street and fill in the blanks.You should write down a description of what you see.Try to remember the details you wrote down.You must learn to notice and absorb this level of detail.
Step 5: You can record what you see.
You should focus your attention outward rather than inward.Doing so will help you develop sensitivity to what goes on around you and will teach you to quiet your thoughts when necessary.You should take a notebook with you.As much detail as possible, note what you see.Until you find yourself doing it automatically with or without the notebook, make this a regular practice.
Step 6: Listen closely and watch closely.
When talking with someone, make sure you put your full attention on them.When you learn to observe someone closely and attentively, you are able to pick up on subtle signals that indicate what the person is thinking or feeling.Pay attention to the small variations in their tone and inflection, watch the movement of their eyes, and notice the pauses and silences between their words.
Step 7: You can exercise your non-visual senses.
We rely on sight to interpret the world around us, so that sight can take over over our other senses.You can begin to see more subtle variations in the environment you were unaware of if you prioritize other senses.Close your eyes and use your other senses to see people.Look at the sound of their clothing, footfalls, and breathing.Take note of their smell.The air around them changes as they move.As they pass, note the temperature changes.If you can tell where their attention is being directed and when it is falling on you.As you become more sensitive to people and the energy they give off, you should be able to see the different types of energy each person gives off.Is it possible to pick up on any tension or negative energy?Take a look at the energy of the rooms you walk into.Are you able to sense positive or negative energy?
Step 8: Your thought should be directed outward.
You can easily miss what is happening with other people and things in the world if you are too focused on your own dialogue.When you get caught up in your own thoughts, turn your focus outward and notice the people, places, and things around you.Tell yourself that you don't need to think about what's happening in your head.Decide to be quiet and serene.
Step 9: You can develop a meditation practice.
Learning to quiet your mind and observe the world around you is part of the learning process.To tap into your body's inner calm, meditation trains your mind to move away from freneticism.If you want to sit quietly, find a calm place.To pay attention to the sounds, smells, and physical sensations around you, close your eyes.Take a deep breath and notice the pause between each breath.When random thoughts come into your mind, calmly let them go.Don't follow them.Gradually increase the time you spend meditating.You can only practice for 5 minutes a day at first.Gradually build up to 20 minutes a day.
Step 10: Take a walk.
It is possible to get out of your conscious mind and into a more intuitive, sensory state by going for regular reflective walks.There is a quiet place to walk.Being close to nature helps connect you to a place bigger than you, which helps you become more aware of the world around you and less focused on your conscious and rational mind.Turn your attention outward as you walk.Focus on what you see, smell, taste, and touch.Pick up the smallest sounds that you can.There are small changes in the landscape.It is possible to sense the smallest changes in temperature, wind, and pressure.You can record the things you see in a notebook.Take note of what you observe and how you react to it.
