12. Demystifying Intuition with Sita Severson: The Energy of Sports, Business, and Our Gut Feelings

I welcomed Sita Severson, a yoga therapist with a rich background in mindfulness and healing practices, for a compelling discussion on the practical aspects of energy and intuition. These are often-misunderstood concepts, and Sita illustrates their scientific basis and their palpable presence in our daily lives. 

We explore the delicate dance between intuition and fear, drawing parallels with animal instincts and the nervous system's role in energy perception. Sita shares an experience where a dog sensed danger well before it became apparent, sparking a conversation on how trauma can sharpen our energy sensitivity and the profound gut-brain connection.

We navigate the realms of intuitive intelligence in sports and beyond, delving into how athletes and business leaders tap into an unseen energy for split-second decisions. Discover the role of emotional intelligence in achieving greatness and how we might deprogram automatic responses to better align with our intuitive selves for more conscious decision-making.
