Understanding Medical Intuition

By Nancy Clark

The foundation of medical intuition concerns the assumption that there exists a human capacity for accessing information without direct observation, knowledge or understanding. Intuition is an immediate knowing without going through the normal analysis of the left (logical) side of the brain. It is said to begin in infancy, long before children can think in words. One example would be a child that speaks in complex  sentences without learning grammar.

According to this belief, here are three types of intelligence. The first is instinctual, and it is inherited or hardwired into our body’s computer at birth. The second is sensory intelligence. Jung described this as the ability to think logically. This is the domain of the left brain, which operates in time and space.

Third is intuitive intelligence, which is said to operate in a non-physical realm. It will instantly give the  correct answer to a complex problem when the left brain cannot come up with a solution. Rupert Sheldrake, the British biologist, performed experiments with animals and intuition. He found that when one type of animal learns a new behavior, the rest of the species could tap into what he termed the “morphogenetic field” and acquire that skill. Some people believe that intuition exists outside of time and space, and so humans, like Sheldrake’s animals, can access fields of new information.
