How can we become intuitive, how can we induce gamma waves in our brains – through meditation

Yogi Bhajan says in “Yogi Bhajan quotes”:

“meditation will make you intuitive, and intuition will solve your problems”:

Yogi Bhajan also said at the end of the following video «Sadhana gives you intuition»:

Sadhana is Kundalini Yoga training in the morning. Therefore to have intuition we have to do Sadhana or meditate. According to Sadhguru the simplest definition of meditation is to turn your mind inwardly.

Intuition is something that comes out of nothing, our inner voice, inner images which come spontaneously out of nothing. Other called intuition as the “google of the brain”.

Daniel Goleman explains in the following video gamma waves occur when we solve a problem whe where grappling with, and is this not the same as have an intuition? We have around half a second of gamma during such a phenomenon. Furthermore Goleman says in this video:

“We have to assume that the special state of conciousness that we see in the highest level meditators is described in the classical meditation literature as

a state of being that is not like our ordinary state of mind.

sometimes it called liberation, enlightenment, awake,

there is no vocabulary what that might be.“

But if we do not use these terms and instead measure clearly defined mental states things become easier, as here in the following video where Richard Davidson measured mental states of Mingour Rhinpoche:

As self-exerienced practitioners of yoga and meditation we know that these practices lead to inner peace which is represented as alpha waved in the brain. But intuition which is represented as gamma waves in the brain occurr spontaneously. The only thing we can do is to meditate and to let go. Intuition happens spontaneously without that we can do anything, but we can meditate, and we suppose that is how this mechanism works and can be explained. It is not a concious process which can be controlled directly.

A key paper in this context is a PNAS paper of Richard Davidsons group published in 2004:

https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.0407401101

Where scientists observed high gamma wave intensities of long-term meditation practictioners. And these gamma waves where so strong that the researcher thought that it is an artifact, but it was not. Is what is described in this paper not something wonderful which fit’s very well to the reports of self-exerienced practitioners of yoga and meditation, such as Yogi Bhajan, Osho and Sadhguru?
