Instinct or Intuition?

We have previously spoken about how removing our sight can induce an instinctual way of moving as you are not influenced by anything or anyone around you. In discussion the question was raised of 'do we mean instinct or intuition?' To start investigating this we found the definition of both words:

Instinct:

noun

an innate, typically fixed pattern of behaviour in animals in response to certain stimuli.

"the homing instinct"

adjective

formal

imbued or filled with (a quality, especially a desirable one).

"these canvases are instinct with passion"

Intuition

noun

the ability to understand something instinctively, without the need for conscious reasoning.

"we shall allow our intuition to guide us"

a thing that one knows or considers likely form instinctive feeling rather than conscious reasoning.

We found that a synonym of intuition is instinct, therefore in the case of our practice as research we are focusing on creating instinctual movement from the unseen stimuli we are working from.
