Intuition as a Healing Modality: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives

Abstract

This article examines intuition as an archetypal, cultural-spiritual healing modality. It builds on the notion of intuition as a reality founded on the archetypal calling to become a healer. Consideration is given to a variety of intuition traditions as well as contemporary understandings of intuition based on natural scientific evidence. Intuition needs to be understood within the context of practice for appropriate use.
