Intuition is more than a feeling—it’s an inner compass that helps children and teens navigate life with confidence, clarity, and emotional balance. In a world filled with overstimulation, academic pressure, and relentless digital noise, young people are often left feeling overwhelmed or unsure of themselves. Developing intuition helps them tap into a deeper source of calm and self-reliance.
The Art of Living’s Intuition Process, offered under the guidance of Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, is a unique program that trains young people to access this innate intelligence. Using a blend of ancient techniques, guided meditations, and playful intuitive exercises, the Intuition Process strengthens mental clarity, emotional stability, decision-making skills, and creativity—empowering youth in all areas of life.
Intuition is often misunderstood as impulse, guesswork, or imagination. But true intuition arises from a state of deep inner stillness and heightened awareness. It allows youth to sense beyond the limitations of logic, helping them make choices that feel aligned and authentic.
Children are naturally intuitive, but this ability often becomes clouded by stress, fear, or overstimulation. With the right training, intuition becomes sharper, more reliable, and easier to access—a powerful life skill during formative years.
The Intuition Process is a beautifully designed, science-backed training that awakens the intuitive intelligence already present within every child. Developed under the guidance of Art of Living Founder Gurudev, the program helps youth experience deep rest, heightened awareness, and a calm clarity of mind.
The program includes:
Children often describe the experience as relaxing, confidence-boosting, and exciting—because the program feels more like exploration than “practice.”
The Intuition Process is ideal for youth ages 5–18 (age groups vary by center). It is especially supportive for children who:
The program meets children where they are—playful for younger kids, reflective for teens—with practices that are age-appropriate and engaging.
A strong intuitive sense helps youth trust themselves. They begin to make decisions with clarity instead of hesitation or self-doubt. This confidence carries into academics, friendships, sports, and daily life.
A calm mind processes information more efficiently. The relaxation techniques used in the Intuition Process help reduce mental clutter, improve focus, and strengthen memory recall—leading to better performance in school and extracurricular activities.
Stress, irritation, and emotional overwhelm are common in today’s youth. Intuition training teaches children to respond rather than react. With more inner ease, they experience more emotional balance, stability, and resilience.
The mind becomes naturally more creative when it is calm and centered. Many children report enhanced artistic expression, problem-solving skills, and innovative thinking after the program.
The exercises introduce children to meditation in a joyful way, helping them access inner silence—a valuable skill for lifelong well-being.
A typical session is joyful, immersive, and deeply relaxing. The environment is gentle, encouraging, and free from pressure.
A session may include:
The program is non-religious, experiential, and universally accessible.
Modern research supports what ancient traditions have long known: stillness and meditative states enhance intuitive ability. Studies on meditative practices show:
The Intuition Process blends these insights with specialized techniques to help young minds naturally access a state of deeper knowing.
Children today face unprecedented levels of information, expectation, and distraction. Intuition serves as a grounding force—an internal guide that helps them navigate complex choices, manage emotions, and stay connected to their authentic selves.
Growing intuition early in life supports:
This training becomes a lifelong gift—something they carry into adulthood with clarity and confidence.
It is truly a magical course. We had a lot of fun playing a lot of energizing games. I feel like I am in heaven during the meditation. I couldn’t believe that I could recognize color, animals, and numbers. I can’t wait to see how I can recognize after 40 days. This course is awesome! Sarvesh A., 11 years old
I relaxed totally. When I had to guess the cards I didn’t understand how it is possible closing our eyes. But I could do it. I was amazed to see how I guessed the cards. On the second day I felt more relaxed and I could feel the energy entering into me when I was doing the process. My intuition increased a lot and could guess the cards quite easily. I was getting the image in front of me. I believe I can become even better in time. V. Pragya, 12 years old
Can’t be put in words! The first day was unclear, hazy and my mind was going here and there. It took lot effort to listen to my intuition. Even though it took effort; guessing the color, number, animal was magical as it suddenly popped in my mind as though I know it already! The second day guessing took less effort and my mind was more relaxed. I’ve no answer to how I guessed it! Tarini V., 17 years old
