Intuition is the inner knowing that comes without outer sensory stimuli. It is the modality that senses most deeply, yet one that our society has valued least. We invest most of our efforts in educating our children to use their outer senses, ignoring and even denigrating the inner ones.

Intuitions surface to consciousness from unknown sources and through channels that are usually below our everyday awareness Intuition is often perceived as or accompanied by an inner uneasiness, a sort of spiritual itch that invites us to scratch below the surface of our ordinary perceptions, thoughts, and feelings. If we respond to this itch, this inner ring on the intuition hotline, if we invite our intuition to speak, we are often rewarded with important messages. . .

Taking advantage of on-line facilities, for our lay readers we omit technical details and link explanations for key words that may not be familiar, and for our professional readers we supplement basic materials with references and links to more detailed discussions. Both research and clinical references will be featured, including medical, psychological and spiritual studies.
