Learning Kinesiology. Kinesiology can help you become more aware of bodily sensation and nerve stimuli. Kinesiology is defined primarily as the use of muscle testing to identify imbalances in the body's structural, chemical, emotional or other energy, to establish the body's priority healing needs, and to evaluate energy changes brought about by a broad spectrum of both manual and non-manual therapeutic procedures.
Pay attention to what catches your eye or ear. Don't worry about what it means, just notice. This exercise is not about judging or labelling the experience. You are not concerned whether it is “good” or “bad’. You are simply allowing and witnessing and trusting. Observation exercises: In restaurants, on trains, shopping, etc., practise noticing non-verbal behaviour in others ... posture shifts, hand motions, vocal tone or tempo. Guess how your subjects are feeling or what they are talking about.
Ask questions. What's really going on here? What do I need to know? What's the best course of action for me? Then be open for an answer in unexpected ways.
Meditate. It quiets the mind and builds our awareness to emotions. Emotions are energy in motion.
Listen to your inner dialogue. Most intuitive hunches get edited out before we let them come fully into our minds. Or an intuitive thought comes in and we immediately tell ourselves we're wrong. Counter those thoughts with, "What if I'm right? What would I do with this information?"
Ask a question about something before going to sleep. Pay attention to the first thought in your head right after waking up. Sleep seems to be very important to creativity. Scientists at the University of Luebeck in Germany found that, during good sleep (which Jan Born, who led the research project, defines as at least 6 consecutive hours) your brain processes the sights, sounds, and other sensations of the previous day. Then, when you wake up, your mind is somehow more clear and organized. Born’s subjects did better at solving math problems that required creative solutions if they were allowed to read the problems, sleep 8 hours through the night, wake up refreshed (not doped up by medication), and then go back to the problems.

Thoughts need time to develop. With time a thought can take shape and you can decide whether it has potential. Everything begins with an idea. Your thinking time is valuable. By expanding ideas they can become powerful visions.
