In our day to day decision-making, we mostly do it in the conference room, that is our concious mind. If we need some extra information, we send a peon to the warehouse, the immense store of our concious and unconscious memory, to pull out whatever is relevant. So what does this ego-based peon do? He pulls out the data most near the door (most recent) and he pulls out those that are most lit up (most emotionally charged) and runs back with it.
I try to do some Gemba here. I try to immerse in the concious and unconscious memory without thinking and wait for the relevant memories to gather around, balance out subliminally and give me a solution. In the deepest sense, this is a meditative solution. In a slightly smaller sense, it is an intuitive solution.
However, this Gemba solution can come through only by non-judgemental immersion in the quiet depth of our mind, putting ready made and emotional judgements aside. The final recommendations of "this feels right" is the one to go with.
