Something's not right. And she runs down the mountain. She sprints down the mountain and it erupts. Like, I don't know if it was the day later. It was after she got down the mountain. But within a very short period of time, the volcano had erupted. And from what I can remember of this story,

no one was there with her no one had told her she just had this very human sense and it was almost like some ancestors some human person in her past had encountered this and there was a knowledge there that was passed on and I remember her telling me she felt like she needed to move and she needed to hustle and But she didn't feel anxious about the thought.

She didn't feel like there was anything to do other than to act. She was very certain. And I think this is what intuition feels like. It feels very calm and self-assured. There is no doubt. There is not a thousand possible outcomes or explanations running through your head. The way that that, you know, that's sometimes what happens with anxiety.

You're sitting there, oh, like this could happen or this could happen or this could happen. It's serving you up a thousand different possibilities. With intuition, that's not the case. There's one explanation, one prediction. You feel it in your body. It is stable. It is certain. It is confident. Most people also obviously say you can feel it in your stomach. That's the term gut instinct.

That's where it comes from. Now, the science behind this sensation is very, very cool. Scientists don't call the stomach the second brain for no reason. There's very good reason because there is a vast neural network of over 100 million neurons lining your entire digestive system.

And every single year, more and more evidence emerges that there is this bi-directional communication pathway between the brain and the gut. In other words, you might feel your emotions or certain sensations in your stomach before you consciously process them. They're known by another name. They're called gut signals. And a 2020 paper looked at whether they could be trusted.

And it did find that emotional stress and cues have an immediate impact on the gut in a way that we may be quicker to recognize than a passing thought or than any other kind of sensory information. That's what the gut instinct is. As to whether we can trust our intuition, I can't go into all the studies because there are so, so many. And the answer is, it really depends. It really depends.
