A meditative state of mind allows conscious access into the unconscious mind.
It is through our imagination that our intuition can be seen.
Access to our intuition is available to all of us.
Jung defined intuition as "perception via the unconscious".
Trusting that our imagination is a communication tool for our foreknowledge and discernment allows us to pro-actively seek knowledge and understanding from an area of ourselves which may have been previously and inappropriately viewed as unreliable, fantasy or delusional.
Although our imagination allows our intuition to be seen, the thoughts and images perceived may form beliefs that we cannot necessarily justify.
When the unconscious becomes conscious this is instinct plus cognitive consideration; we believe it makes sense but may be unable to express why.
Mantra Meditation
According to Mayo Clinic
The mantra meditation technique is a great calming meditation method. During mantra meditation, you mentally (silently) repeat a calming word or mantra. The repetition of the mantra will replace all busy thoughts and help you shut out the outside world, thus calming your mind and body. The Mayo Clinic adds that transcendental meditation is another specific calming mantra meditation technique that can be effectively used to relax.
