is common expression also in English referring to internal sensual experience and a way of knowing different from intellectual knowledge, as there is usually the problem of giving the intuitive gut feeling an intellectually meaningful interpretation, if such is required by the situation.

In many situation such is not needed, e.g. when playing music in flow state, with "gut feeling" or "from heart" (or both), not only without thinking but in state which gets broken by trying to think.
