Become more aware, develop your intuition! Intuition is the perception of information by non-physical means. To be psychic means to have intuition and to be able to pick-up information from the environment and others. It is also known as sixth sense, feminine sense, and others. Intuition is the basic tool of perception for the projector and it is the basis for the recollection of past lives, premonitory dreams, communication with helpers, telepathy, and retrocognition and precognition. During the course there will be a practical exercise to test and develop the intuition of the participants. The main ideas which will be discussed will be: - Types of intuition - Current scientific theories explaining intuition - Intuition and other paranormal phenomena - How intuition works in an OBE - Intuition and energetic defense - Techniques to develop intuition

To go deeper into the subject, the main scientific theories on intuition are presented and discussed. They range from physics, to biology, to psychology, and others.
