Inner-tuition describes the process by which 'intuition' operates in our body and psyche.
Our gut mind contains more neurons than a cat's brain. It also operates 5 to 10 seconds ahead of our conscious mind. This has been confirmed by neuroscientists with MRI scanners.
This mind center actually steers us in the right direction and guides us in directions that are helpful to us whilst also protecting us from harm.
It is an illusion our conscious mind makes decisions. They are made ahead of time by the inner-tuitive guidance system in our gut.
When someone says, "I wish I had gone with my gut on this or that decision ..", what they were really saying was that they wished they had followed their inner-tuition.
