These are all tendencies of the body, fluctuations of the mind, or reflexes of emotion. In the modern world, language has become loose and terms like intuition, emotion, imagination, gut feeling are used interchangeably without proper differentiation.

The process of learning intuition begins with observations and then moves to interpreting. To develop intuition, we must enhance our power of observation, which evolves through experiences, not words. So, in order to develop observation, we must cultivate experience. We begin by feeling it, then observing it, and then try to name/describe what we perceived.
