207 Developing Medicinal Intuition • Wendie Colter

How often do you pay attention to your intuitive abilities in practice or in life? Intuition is more than a feeling. Medical intuition gives us the ability to make a diagnosis without physical examination, tests, or history. It’s when you tap into the patient’s energy to gain insight into underlying physical and emotional imbalances. Your senses come together in a profound way to give you a more textured and dimensional glimpse into the patients.

In this conversation with Wendie Colter, we discuss the often-misunderstood science and art of medical intuition, how we can practice or develop the medical intuition muscle, some interesting research looking into the topic, and why there needs to be more public awareness on energy-based practices.

Listen in on this discussion of understanding, learning, and honing medical intuition as an immensely useful skill in practice.

In This Conversation We Discuss:

• The inherent intuitive skills we have as children—and how they’re often snuffed as we grow up.
• The difference between drawing on subconscious information borne out of decades in a medical field and drawing on medical intuition.
• Intuition as a learned skill that can be practiced or developed—and how to go about developing the “intuition muscle”
• The ethics of medical intuition – i.e., How to proceed with care and respect.
• Wendie Colter’s research into developing medical intuition – how it came to be and why it matters.
• Integrative medicine or “synthesis” of these different medical traditions coming together.
• The profound fear in our world today according to Wendie Colter: “What are you seeing in the present moment?”
• The interconnectedness of the world and our bodies.
• The potent patient question in practice – “What do I need to know?”
• Having a bias in practice is a blinder.

Working with your own energy is a great way to build resilience. Grounding and shielding techniques can help you maintain energetic equilibrium.
