How to Develop Your Intuition
Ă‚
Why Intuition will be One of the Hottest Skills of the Future
Ă‚
Hi {NAME},
Yesterday, I announced that we will be bringing intuition to the world in a big way, starting with our next [Mindvalley Intuition Training in Los Angeles]( this December 1-2.
And one of my big dreams in life is to make this skill mainstream.
The thing is, I wasn’t always a believer of intuition.
With my background in engineering, I’ve always needed “hard evidence” of how things work.
So naturally, I first greeted this whole intuition thing with a big dose of skepticism.
But over the years, having gone through multiple intuition classes and trainings, I’ve experienced things I just cannot explain nor can I dismiss.
It started in a big way in 2002. And I wrote the story in my international best-seller, “The Code of the Extraordinary Mind”.
I wanted to share this intriguing story with you here….
Basically I was living in Silicon Valley at that time and had lost all my savings in the dot-com bubble bust. 14,000 people were laid off the same month I lost my small startup company (and my savings) and the economy was so bad, the only job I could get was a lousy dialing-for-dollars job selling technology to law firms.
I sucked at it. And was not closing sales. After 3 months, and feeling like my life was stagnating, I saw an ad for a class on meditation for intuition. It intrigued me. I flew down to LA to take this class.
And below is an extract from my book on just what happened next….
“Immediately I began applying some of the techniques I’d learned, one of which was a simple technique to meditate and get myself into the alpha state of mind. Alpha is a brain wave frequency common in meditation where you’re in a relaxed state. People who advocate this type of meditation say that alpha puts you highly in tune with your intuition, your creativity, and your problem-solving abilities. A key part of what I had learned was listening to my inner voice or intuition. I practiced this when making my phone calls. I stopped calling every lawyer from A to Z in the Yellow Pages, as my coworkers were doing. Instead, I’d go into a relaxed, meditative level of mind, run my finger down the listings, and call the ones where I felt an impulse. The impulse often felt like guessing, but I heeded it. I realize this makes no logical sense. But I discovered that listening to my impulse somehow caused me to call lawyers more likely to buy. My closing rate started rising rapidly.
How much of a change can you expect from studying meditation? I certainly didn’t expect much, other than learning to relax and destress better. But by the end of the first week after flying back from L.A., I had my best- ever sales week. I assumed it was an aberration and that it wouldn’t last. But I closed two deals the next week. And the next. And it got better. A month later, I leveled up to closing three deals. Listening to my intuition seemed to triple the odds of my calling a receptive lawyer.”
This occurrence in 2002 - and my then meteoric rise in the company I was working in - caused me to later branch out on my own and eventually start Mindvalley.
And tons of people ask me about this class I took.
Well I decided to get the rights to this program and bring it into Mindvalley and take this powerful program to the next level. I also spent 5 years learning and teaching and honing my skills in it - because, simply put, intuition became such an integral part of my life.
I first started by training my own team members in this approach to boost their empathy, problem solving and creativity skills.
I then introduced this to 700 people at Mindvalley University this past summer in Tallinn, Estonia.

Hope to see you in LA!
