What is Medical Intuition?
When I tell people I teach Medical Intuition, their first reaction is often - “what is that?” I usually start by telling people what it isn’t.
Medical Intuition is not a treatment, intervention, or healing modality. Although it uses the word “medical,” it is not to be considered the practice of medicine, or any other licensed healthcare practice. It is also not meant to be used as a substitute for licensed medical care or advice. A qualified medical intuitive should always refer you to your primary care provider for your health care.
So, what is it? Medical Intuition is a foundational whole-person energetic assessment skill for mind-body-spirit wellbeing, that is designed to support all healthcare methods, from allopathic to integrative, to complementary and alternative.
Medical intuitives use various methods of intuitive “scanning” or “reading” intended to gather information from both the physical systems and the energetic systems of the body. Our energetic systems, also known as the “biofield,” include the chakra system and the auric field.
Medical Intuition is designed to assess energetic patterns in the physical body and biofield that may correspond to the underlying drivers and root causes of illness, imbalance, and disease. Medical Intuition can also assist in addressing the energetic influence of thoughts, beliefs, and emotions, and how they may impact our health and wellness. This process can help to not only promote physical wellness, but also emotional, mental, and spiritual wellbeing.
Can Intuition be Learned?
I believe intuition is hardwired into us - we all are intuitive. People may experience their intuition as sporadic and elusive. We may get mysterious intuitive “hits” or “feelings” that can be random, unpredictable, and unreliable. Many believe that one must be “born with it,” or have special gifts in order to use it.
Having taught all kinds of people intuitive practices for nearly 15 years, I can assure you these are basic misunderstandings of the skill of intuition. As with any skill, our intuition can be developed and optimized for greater clarity, consistency, and application.
Who Needs Medical Intuition?
If you are curious about seeking answers to your health issues directly from your own body and energy systems, Medical Intuition can help you tap into your own body’s wisdom for deeper answers.
If you are a wellness professional interested in a new approach to the promotion of wellness and wellbeing, Medical Intuition offers a new paradigm that can help to transform the lives of your patients and clients. Practitioners report that integrating Medical Intuition into their practices can be both time-saving and cost-effective.
Where is the Research?
The value of intuition in healthcare has long been acknowledged. You may be surprised to learn that there are over 30 years of peer-reviewed scientific studies on various kinds of intuition in the clinical setting.
Doctors who pay attention to their “gut feelings” when treating patients, as well as nurses who are alert to their intuitive senses of knowing and feeling, find intuition gives them important – sometimes even life-saving – information for their patients. Medical educators also agree that a healthcare provider’s use of their intuition, alongside professional judgment, is a key aspect of high quality care.
Where do medical intuitives fit in? A 2021 survey of professional medical intuitives in the U.S. revealed that 82% assist licensed healthcare professionals with Medical Intuition, while 86% receive referrals from licensed healthcare professionals for Medical Intuitive services.
A 2020 study with trained Medical Intuitives show 94% accuracy rates in the intuitive location and evaluation of a subject’s health issues, along with 98% accuracy in descriptions of life experiences that may correspond to their health issues, 94% consistency with a subject’s known medical diagnosis, and more. These remarkable results have been published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine.
