"The intuitive mind is a sacred gift, and the rational mind is a faithful servant.
We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift."
Albert Einstein
Sadly, intuition gained a bad reputation after the Enlightenment—the Age of Reason—due to the emphasis placed on logic, reason, and scientific thinking.
This came at the expense of intuition, which was considered subjective, unreliable, and opposed to an objective and rational understanding of the world, thus seen as inferior or even as an obstacle to science and reason itself.

Purtroppo questa svalutazione ci è costata molto: l’intuizione e le altre forme di pensiero non razionale svolgono un ruolo cruciale:
Unfortunately, this devaluation has cost us dearly: intuition and other forms of non-rational thinking play a crucial role:
Fortunately, in recent years, there has been a renewed interest in intuition and other forms of non-rational thinking, with a growing effort to better understand their role in the wholeness of the human being and their importance in scientific research and other fields of human development.
Cultivating intuition is one of the focal points of SOTO’s practices, which regard the collaboration between the right and left hemispheres of the brain as essential for personal and collective evolution, and for the development of a deep and authentic spirituality—free from prejudice or dogma.


Mariabruna Sirabella, MS, LMFT, holds a degree in Communication and Performing Arts from the University of Bologna and a Master’s in Counseling from CSUS, California. She is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in California.
Since her teenage years, she has been fascinated by the many dimensions of communication with both the visible and the invisible, approaching them from both a scientific/academic perspective and a spiritual/indigenous one. These two “souls” manifest in her work in various ways, creating a space to explore polarities and discover unexpected bridges between opposites.

This gathering was for me a precious guide toward understanding what intuition truly is—a faculty innate and present within each of us. Mariabruna gently leads us, step by step, on a journey of knowledge and awareness. A wise guide, an authentic feeling, and many practical tools to bring into everyday life.
From the depths of my heart, a sincere thanks to Mariabruna for this gift, full of wisdom, love, and experience.

This gathering with Mariabruna was incredibly helpful for me in writing a story. My protagonist rediscovers the power of intuition—the ability to know without reasoning, the instinctive sense that something is true without knowing why, the capacity to accumulate past experiences as information that is not immediately accessible but helps evaluate a situation and make quick decisions.
She rediscovers non-rational thinking that creates new possibilities!
