or gut feeling?

Your gut is not your head!
Sometimes, if your "gut" is telling you something, your brain should take over and analyze the situation. Between the two of them you will most always make the right decision. Trusting only your "gut" can result in poor decision making, because your gut is definitely more intuitive but less intellectual than your brain.
For example the flight or fight reflex is mostly a "gut" reaction and sometimes you have to do neither to win.

I don't think you can hear intuition....
It is a feeling not a noise. I think it is based on experience more than spirituality. A child walks up to an electrical plug for the first time... nothing makes them hesitate to touch the exposed prongs on the plug.
Situations we experience tend to make us wary and that is what I think you are feeling.
By the way, my wife would disagree with this. She thinks she has a sixth sense or something. It never helped her pick the lottery numbers however.
g-day!

Yes!
I live by my intuition.....but I too, had to learn some things before I made better choices.
Intuition!
There's GOOD and Bad!
With the good Positive and Productive Moral teachings.......Sensible (Common Sense) reasoning to determine Right from Wrong...... learn a good deal on the subject's of Foresight & Hindsight when making choices.
It helps NOT to bee self-deprevating......You have to learn to Trust and Forgive yourself..... practice being positive and productive......and learn to bee your own best friend.....carry yourself with Respect and Dignity ....... choose your words wisely.....
Due to a bit of all these ingredients, you will have enhanced your thought process......This is where listening to your intuition can and will play a big part in your life ....due to making such choices to developing a more enriched way of thinking.
Your Intuition, is an Awesome tool in life to use. NO one can take this from you ....its the very depth of your souls being ......
YOU really have to believe in yourself as a human whom lives, learns from your own mistakes. (self - forgiveness is a key factor in order to move on and learn.)
As Humans we are Life Long Learners....Its your choice of whether or not YOU listen close enough to your intuitive nature...... which is always being enhanced by what you learn and live.

Always. Many people are either not aware of intuition existing or do not recognize it for what it is.

Absolutely. Through the years I have found that I end up regretting it when I don't. Our gut feelings are part of our survivial instinct.

I try to listen to my intuition or inner voice as often as I can.
I usually regret it when I don't!

"Intuition: (Lat. intuere, to look at) The direct and immediate apprehension by a knowing subject of itself, of its conscious states, of other minds, of an external world, of universals, of values or of rational truths. -- L.W. "
We had all better listen to it!
