This nervous system is very powerful (second only to the central nervous system, and even some scientists are debating that point) and is capable of both receiving information from and giving information to the brain. So, quite literally, our gut is connected to our brain.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Deepak Chopra, a neuroendocrinologist, has studied the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sites.psu.edu\/siowfa15\/2015\/10\/19\/is-your-gut-feeling-right\/\">connection between our consciousness and the physical body<\/a> for years.<\/p>\n<p>Chopra has posited the power of our bodies\u2019 cells and come to the conclusion that each cell has its own memory that can be tapped into at a later date. So when we get a \u201cgut feeling,\u201d our cells remember stored information and relay emotions associated with those memories from the enteric nervous system to our brain. Our brain then sends signals out to us telling us what to do, which is where intuition comes from.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box  \">\n<div class=\"product-img product-img-noaward\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41NhR5QGgvS._SL160_.jpg\" height=\"147px\" width=\"147px\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>According to Dr. Chopra, the enteric nervous system does not have the ability to doubt itself. This would explain why many gut feelings come to us quickly before we think about them and decide whether or not we will follow.<\/p>\n<p>The enteric nervous system also explains why many emotions involve our gut. When we are very stressed, angry, or upset, we often feel sick to our stomach. Those nervous \u201cbutterflies\u201d we feel when we are initially attracted to someone or nervous and excited about an event fly around in our stomachs. On the flip side, poor gut health has been <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4752653\/\">linked with various health concerns<\/a> ranging from IBS and arthritis to mood disorders and cognitive dysfunctions.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Trust_Your_Gut_And_Be_More_Intuitive\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_1\">How to Trust Your Gut (And Be More Intuitive)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Some people seem to be more in tune with their gut and general intuition than others and are almost always right when they trust their gut feeling. Just like exercise or meditation, this takes practice.<\/p>\n<p>Whenever our brain works through how to do something, it <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/blog\/are-you-persuadable\/201711\/when-should-you-trust-your-gut-heres-what-the-science-says\">draws from our memories and patterns<\/a> from previous experiences to determine the course of action with the least resistance. If the decision is successful, that information is stored, and the next time we encounter a scenario with a similar pattern our brain will send the corresponding information back to us. Even if the information is vague\u2014which will probably happen when the memory our brain is drawing from is old or stored very deeply\u2014our intuition will still be able to give a \u201cthis is a good thing\u201d or \u201cthis is a bad thing\u201d message.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box  \">\n<div class=\"product-img product-img-noaward\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51BePI6KzwL._SL160_.jpg\" height=\"147px\" width=\"147px\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The more patterns we create around similar events, our intuition will be better. For example, if you go for a run every day, you\u2019ll get pretty good at identifying potential safety hazards in your path, even if you\u2019re on a new trail that you\u2019ve never seen before.<\/p>\n<p>Intuition like this is not always directly linked to the enteric nervous system, but the terms \u2018intuition\u2019 and \u2018gut feeling\u2019 have become pretty synonymous. Wherever your gut feeling is technically coming from, it\u2019s wise to take a listen.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '267914477473431');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
