What comes to mind when you hear the word INTUITION? It's those feelings that point us in a direction, most often when we're at the crux of determining right from wrong, or meeting at a junction of indecisiveness.

It's the tingling, nagging, proverbial angel on our shoulder whispering, "Do this", "Think this"... We each have that GUT instinct, those butterflies in our stomach telling us when something just is or isn't right.

Perhaps it's the sudden wave of nausea you feel just before a big presentation, or the nervousness that settles in your belly when you JUST KNOW what is coming next.
