We all know about IQ and EQ (Emotional Intelligence). But what about GQ - Gut Intelligence™?

Gut Intelligence™ (GQ) is the ability to synthesize information quickly because you are paying attention to that gut-alert that tells you to S.T.O.P.: Slow down and breathe, Tune in within, Observe what is happening, and Perceive a new possibility to make a conscious decision that aligns to your vision, values, and goals.

Susan K. Wehrley is the trademark founder and owner of Gut Intelligence, a process, backed by science that tells us our gut is our "second brain." When we realize the gut-alert in our body, we can learn how to SHIFT into the parasympathetic nervous system and integrate this unconscious information from our gut at cheetah speed for greater cognitive meaning.

Here is the blueprint to increase your Gut Intelligence™ (GQ). In all of our programs, we help you to be more enlightened and aligned to your vision, values, and goals so you can create the life you love, at work and home.

What is Gut Intelligence™ and how do you increase it?

The gut acts as an initial information system to alert us to S.T.O.P. and pay attention to something that requires our decision. When we learn how to bring the neurons, neurotransmitters, and hormones up the vagus nerve we make what was unconscious now conscious. Here is how we can increase our Gut Intelligence™ and make better decisions in our life, according to our vision, values, and goals:

1. The Gut: The Internal Compass

• The Signal: The Gut-Alert. This is a wake-up call to pay attention and make the unconscious neurons, neurotransmitters, and hormones in the gut conscious by sending them up the vagus nerve to be processed in the head-brain.

• The State: Fight, Flight, or Freeze. This is the agitation stage, marked by the belief of survival and scarcity -  triggered by the amygdala, located in the Temporal lobe.

• The SHIFT Technique: By first acknowledging the Gut-Alert and agitation stage, you can use the S.T.O.P. Technique to regulate your nervous system—starting with "S" (Slow down) and breathe more deeply into your gut. This allows you to physically transition the nervous system from a sympathetic state to a parasympathetic state, creating a more awakened, aligned, and attuned state of being. Learning how to breathe deeply reduces the heart rate, makes the corpus callosum more efficient (so you can get out of the reaction center), and bring the neurons, neurotransmitters, and hormones from the gut to the Frontal lobe—where possibilities exist.

2. The Heart: Emotional Data

• The Signal: The Heart’s Desire. This is the information system that reveals your emotions and helps you determine your direction.

• The State: Abundance or Stress. By becoming self-aware of your emotional state of agitation, you begin to understand how your emotions act as your inner GPS, telling you "something needs to change!" If you feel stressed, it signals you are out of alignment with your intended direction; if you feel abundant and happy, you are on the right path.

• The SHIFT: Practicing the second step of the S.T.O.P. Technique—"T" (Tune in)—you awaken to your emotions, leading you to understand your authentic vision, values, and goals. This allows you to align and attune to what matters to you, so that you can make choices accordingly. Your heart and emotions are your inner GPS, signaling what feels in alignment, or not.

3. The Head: Cognitive Awareness

• The Signal: The Field of Possibilities. This is where we become aware of the various strategies available.

• The State: Heightened Awareness to Consider Possibilities. With increased Gut Intelligence™, we practice the "O" in the S.T.O.P. Technique and become the Observer of the abundant possibilities that exist.

• The SHIFT: Moving from the reaction center into the Frontal Lobe to analyze the possibilities to achieve one’s heart’s desire.

4. Intuitive Knowing: That “A-ha” Knowing

• The Signal: “A-ha” Knowing: A visceral response in the body that tells you your gut, heart, head, and intuition are all in agreement and you've found your just right solution. This happens when we step into curiosity and surrender. It is the "P" in the S.T.O.P. Technique—"Perceive & Receive." When we ask our intuition a curious this question, "How might we find a solution that keeps us in alignment with our vision, values, and goals?" - we attune to that "A-ha" knowing.

• The State: Enlightened and Energized. In this higher state of awareness, alignment, and attunement - we are operating from the Parietal lobe, desiring to connect with our intuition and the collective consciousness to arrive at that "just right" solution. It's a feeling of Oneness with our Higher Self, Others, and the Universe.

• The SHIFT: Moving from the Parietal Lobe—aligning our truth—to staying attuned to that truth by stepping into that truth in the Occipital lobe where we stay in attunement to that vision and feeling of having it, as though it already exists. It's the believing and receiving steps of manifesting, after your asked and now know. Staying in that believing and receiving lobe in the brain, allows you to become the magnet that manifests.

The SHIFT Effect that increases Gut Intelligence™:

• S – Sense misalignment clearly – Learn to trust the gut-alert that signals when something is out of alignment with your vision, values, and goals.

• H – Harness your intuition – Breathe into your gut and integrate wisdom from your gut, heart, head, and intuition for deeper guidance.

• I – Integrate your insights – Use our Gut Intelligence™ (GQ) Blueprint process to synthesize information and make confident decisions like an inner Board of Directors.

• F – Focus on creation, not reaction – Stay present, respond with purpose, and align every action to your vision, values, and goals.

• T – Take inspired action – Move forward with the speed and agility of a cheetah, inspired and aligned with the outcomes you want to create.

Join the Journey to SHIFT by increasing your Gut Intelligence™ and "A-ha" knowing. Isn't it time you became the clear, calm, and confident version of yourself that can create the life you love, at work and home?
