Dear reader,
when I attended the courses of Heartmath to become a Heartmath coach and trainer (heartmathdeutschland.de, and heartmath.com) I learned about three different types of intuition:
- Implicit Knowledge,
- Energetic Sensitivity,
- Nonlocal Intuition.
Heartmath has developed those as part of what they call Intuition Research.
It has been found that heart-coherence supports, a.o., Intuitive Perception, the term that includes the three types of intuition.
Intuitive Perception plays an important role in business decisions and entrepreneurship, because mostly business decisions are made with the view on the future – and the future can be different than we think.
Heartmath writes about the three types of intuition:
…“The first type of intuition, often called Implicit Knowledge or implicit learning, essentially refers to knowledge we’ve acquired in the past and either forgot or did not realize we had learned. … In this regard, the brain matches the patterns of new problems or challenges with implicit memories based on prior experience.
The second type of intuition is what we call Energetic Sensitivity, which refers to the ability of the nervous system to detect and respond to environmental signals such as electromagnetic fields (also see Energetic Communication section). It is well established that in both humans and animals, nervous-system activity is affected by geomagnetic activity.[232] Some people, for example, appear to have the capacity to feel or sense that an earthquake is about to occur before it happens. It has recently been shown that changes in the earth’s magnetic field can be detected about an hour or even longer before a large earthquake occurs. [231] Another example of energetic sensitivity is the sense of being stared at. Several scientific studies have verified this type of sensitivity.[234]
The third type of intuition is Nonlocal Intuition, which refers to the knowledge or sense of something that cannot be explained by past or forgotten knowledge or by sensing environmental signals. It has been suggested that the capacity to receive and process information about nonlocal events appears to be a property of all physical and biological organisations and this likely is because of an inherent interconnectedness of everything in the universe. Examples of nonlocal intuition include when a parent senses something is happening to his or her child who is many miles away, or the repeated, successful sensing experienced by entrepreneurs about factors related to making effective business decisions. …”
You can read the full article here. It is part of the book The Science of the Heart, free for download.
For me this is important research and highly relevant also in the business context, as mentioned with regards to the third type of intuition, the Nonlocal Intuition.
In business we prepare decisions in view of a unkown future. We collect data, we analyse, we write proposals, we do our due diligence – but finally we have to decide. And for this decision it helps if we have a understanding of the existence of Nonlocal Intuition.
We often use the term “I finally decided what I feel would be right” (gut feeling, or what my heart told me to do). The understanding of the concept of Nonlocal Intuition might help you to decide with more awareness and consciousness.
