Definition & Purpose

Defined as a system of expanded perception gained through the development of the human sense of intuition, Medical Intuition utilizes advanced intuitive assessment skills for insights into each individual’s unique physical and energetic systems. Medical Intuition is considered part of the emerging fields of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM), Complementary and Integrative Health (CIH), and Biofield Sciences.

Awareness of intuition is often described as “hits” or “gut feelings” that can be random, unpredictable, and unreliable. People often believe that one must be “born with it,” or have access to unique or special gifts. These are basic misunderstandings of the skill of intuition. Like any other skill, with correct instruction and practice, intuitive abilities can be developed and optimized for greater clarity, consistency, and application.

Focusing on pinpoint visualization skills and in-depth intuitive scanning, The Practical Path® Medical Intuitive Training™ is designed to assist a practitioner in intuitively assessing imbalances in both the physical systems and the energetic systems of the body (the biofield), that may correspond to illness and disease. In addition, The Practical Path® assessments can assist in evaluating the energetic influence of thoughts, beliefs, and emotions and how they may impact the health and well-being of a patient or client.

For the healthcare professional, The Practical Path® Medical Intuitive Training™ provides the opportunity to deliver fast, accurate intuitive health assessments for a cost-effective, targeted approach to wellness. For the patient or client, The Practical Path® assessments offer the potential to gain greater personal awareness, clarity and insight for enhanced health and wellbeing.

Although Medical Intuition uses the word "medical," the use of Medical Intuition is not to be construed as the practice of medicine, psychotherapy, or any other licensed healthcare practice and is not to be considered a replacement for medical care, diagnosis, therapy, counseling or treatment of any kind. Always refer to a licensed healthcare professional for health care. Please read our Disclaimer.
