Part 5/14:
Intuition as a Source of Creativity and Profound Self-Knowledge
Beyond survival, she advocates viewing intuition as a creative, expansive force. William James referred to it as the “feeling of right direction,” encapsulating how intuitive insights can guide us true to our authentic selves, even when they bring discomfort or challenging truths. She shares her experience of panic attacks before launching a new project—a manifestation of intuitive anxiety signaling that she was venturing into unfamiliar territory. Yet, she understood this anxiety to be “good,” not a sign of danger. It was her body’s way of preparing her for meaningful change, underscoring that not all discomfort signals something wrong; sometimes they indicate growth and alignment.
