Your sixth sense doesn’t always communicate through words. Sometimes it simply moves you in the best direction for the highest good- Tells Hirav Shah.

Many people say- “Yes, I decided on that because my 6th sense said so. O, my sixth sense says, our deal with the client will be locked today only. Oh, the song I made will be loved by the audiences and will become a Hit

What is that…
That’s the sixth sense.
Does this apply for leaders to take crucial decisions?

Practically?
Is that even possible?
Prolific Business Astrologer Hirav Shah digs further into this, for us to understand.

Explanation of sixth sense

Leaders are increasingly faced with amplified organizational complexity and a myriad of challenges as they strive to help their organizations develop, maintain and grow their competitive advantage.

Unfortunately, there is no shortcut to becoming an impactful leader. Growing into the role requires conscientiousness and self-reflection. Of course, you need to learn about the intricacies of your organization, but more importantly, you need to learn about your people, authentically care and openly communicate. Connect them and their work to meaning and purpose, and everyone will thrive. And yes, take crucial decisions too…sometimes using the sixth sense.

At the workplace, ‘sixth sense’ is an emotional sense that gives leaders the ability to understand and describe what they experience.

Their emotions arise from their own perceptions, and in turn they play a big role in determining how they respond. When their emotions speak, they are compelled to listen.

Sixth sense always gets the same reaction from doubters: “You must be crazy”, or “It won’t work” and “Have you gone out of your mind”…

It’s a good thing Walt Disney, Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Henry Ford, Boeing’s Bill Allen, and Uber’s Travis Kalanick, among other greats, only listened to their sixth sense and not to others.

But there is a caveat.

In the Journal of Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, a study found that the sixth sense is effective when making a decision in an area where the decision-maker has in-depth knowledge.

Hirav Shah Says- “Sixth sense is like nitroglycerine — it is best used only in certain circumstances” and warned that one must be careful using their sixth sense in an industry they aren’t entirely familiar with.

Leaders who trust mostly on their sixth sense, may weigh empirical data and consult with peers and colleagues, but in the end, they rely on their sense of smell and gut feeling to guide their decision-making process.

All we can do is make educated guesses based on what history teaches us, and integrate what we have learned in the process. Good leaders know when to use their sixth sense.

What Medical Science Says

The Brain emanates oscillating electrical currents, measured in cycles per second

Delta Waves – 1 to 3 Hz

Theta Waves – 4 to 7 Hz

Alpha Waves – 8 to 13 Hz

Beta Waves – 14 to 35 Hz

Gamma Waves – above 35 Hz

Alpha waves are deemed to be the most favourable for extra sensory perception activities, and are generally generated through yoga, meditation and breath control techniques. To develop the sixth sense there is a need to attain and thereafter retain these waves for prolonged duration, even during working hours. Constant practice, discipline and passion to accomplish the desired mission is the key.

What Metaphysical Science Says

The human intellect is guided by two primary instincts, the Base Intellect guided by materialistic yearnings, and the Higher Intellect driving altruistic propensity. Generally the base intellect is the predominant instinct. The Higher Intellect controls and strengthens the Emotional and Social Quotients, is essential for success as a Leader, and needs a conscious effort over a period of time to develop.

What Yogic Science Says

Like the physical body is served with oxygen through a fine network of arteries and veins, so is the esoteric body served with astral energy, known as Prana, through a complex of 72,000 nadis. It is this flow of Prana, coupled with yogic control techniques that energises the nadi chakras leading to heightened sixth sense awareness.

Final Thoughts on sixth sense

No matter how successful you are, at some point people will start telling you to stop doing the things you do. Some of them may be right, and others may be wrong. As a leader, you need to know who to ignore and who to listen to. You need to quietly listen to your sixth sense.

You need to tune your ears so you can work out what’s really important and what really isn’t. That judgment comes with experience, but we all need to keep on working on it.

So, “Sixth Sense” does work in taking crucial decisions- Reiterates Famous Astro-Strategist, Hirav Shah.

Your sixth sense doesn’t always communicate through words. Sometimes it simply moves you in the best direction for the highest good- Concludes Hirav Shah, India’s Most Prominent Business Advisor and Astro-Business Strategist.
