Trusting Your Gut: Michael Todd Fink on the Science and Spirit of Intuition
Intuition is the third and most subtle manner of inner knowing. The trip was delayed, so I believe it was after midnight and the greyhound bus station is in a part of town that is more economically disadvantaged.
Ever had a gut feeling that turned out to be spot on? In this episode of 'Kind Mind', Michael Todd Fink dives deep into the fascinating world of intuition. He explains how our 'inner tutor'—a blend of spiritual wisdom and scientific insight—guides us in ways modern technology can't replicate. With 500 million neurons lining our gut, it's no wonder we often 'feel' things before we know them.
Fink shares personal stories and delves into the enteric nervous system, often called our second brain, to show how closely our emotions and gut feelings are linked. He also explores how intuition has been understood through history, from its roots in Sanskrit and Latin to its modern-day applications. Whether you're skeptical or a firm believer in trusting your instincts, this episode offers a balanced view that's both enlightening and practical.
Perfect for anyone looking to reconnect with their inner guide and make more intuitive decisions in daily life.
