This is when a mentor tries to teach the hero not by thinking but by feeling. The emotional content is what leads to progress, not logical analysis. This most often comes up in martial arts study (supernatural or otherwise), competitive sports, and creative endeavors such as painting. Counter-intuitively, letting your emotions run and feeling your instincts guide you are not one and the same. Maybe these mentors simply suspect that their students are already driven by serenity rather than negative feelings and that their role is to guide that along. The problem is that taking a real approach to it can easily end up as Info Dump unless you do something creative with it. There have been times in Real Life when people have embraced this notion wholeheartedly; the so-called Romantic movement, for instance, was highly characterized by artists and philosophers critical of the Enlightenment's philosophies that (among other things) often shoehorned nature in a mechanical automaton and people as beings perfectly capable of using the power of rational thought to solve any problem. The writers of this movement, like Henry David Thoreau, needed passion to write their books and to publish them. note Obviously they needed to think and reason too but it was charged with emotion. This has some Truth in Television. When our brains learn a new skill, we learn it step by step. With practice, the process becomes implicit, meaning it can be done without really thinking about it i.e. "second nature" and "muscle memory". In high stress situations, the part of the brain that first learned the skill comes back to the fore, and tries to perform the skill explicitly, as if you were learning it all over again. This is why some athletes have a tendency to "choke" under pressure. Once you start thinking about doing something, it suddenly becomes very difficult and awkward to perform. Again this only applies with practice. The reason it becomes so effortless is because we repeat it so often. This approach does not work when trying something for the first time. This is noted in books about police training, in that a person, in a high-stress situation such as a firefight, will revert to training. When seconds count, you often have to do things without consciously thinking about them. Anyone who has driven an automobile and avoided a collision will recognize this, in which they instinctively turn to avoid the oncoming vehicle, but if they had to consciously recognize the threat the accident would have happened because an instinctive reaction happens much faster than a consciously thought-out one. See Ice-Cream Koan for pseudo-profound riddles and koan for genuinely profound riddles. Blindfolded Vision may rely on this. For Aesops lashing out against "thinking" in general, see Straw Vulcan and Logical Fallacies. See I Don't Pay You to Think, for when employees in companies are told that it's not part of their jobs to think. See the Centipede's Dilemma for when thinking does enter the picture. Compare There Is No Try and Machine Empathy. Examples |

Inverted in an episode of The Penguins of Madagascar where Skipper tries to teach Kowalski to listen to his gut and not his brain in a fight. At the time, the zoo's residents were being taken by mysterious creatures until Kowalski is left. Determined to save his friends, Kowalski listens to his gut and fights off the attackers...only to learn that his friends are okay and the creatures were chameleons that just arrived at the zoo and they were using their own method to invite animals to their welcoming party. In other words, Kowalski should've listened to his brain instead of his instincts. Skipper still considers it a success. | |

Choujuu Sentai Liveman has Dr Ashura, who turns out to have been calculating the moves of his opponents to such an extent that he doesn't ''need' to 'feel' (he's more than smart enough to brute-force the calculations necessary), but is defeated when he can't respond to a simple face-on attack. | |

The Riefenstahls in Endo and Kobayashi Live! The Latest on Tsundere Villainess Lieselotte is a warrior clan that has a reputation to live on intuition and little on logic. They believe spirit, tenacity, and their own senses are sufficient for both magic and swordplay, and as a result, have a reputation to be dumb muscles by the rest of the high society. The titular Lieselotte is the rare exception to this, as she's more of a Genius Bruiser. | |

A little speech deleted from the original Game of Death has Bruce's character lecturing an opponent to the effect that over-reliance on rote-memorized moves and routines kills one's ability to adapt and improvise — a point he proceeds to ruthlessly demonstrate. | |

Different variants in Disney Animated Canon film Pocahontas and Disney Animated Non-canon film Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World. The point of Grandmother Tree's teachings in the original movie (put quite succinctly in "Colors of the Wind") was for Pocahontas to get and stay in touch with nature; this is done to Anvilicious extent. Its direct-to-video sequel has, shortly before Pocahontas goes to Europe, Grandmother Tree asking her to get into and stay in touch with her heart—that is, her human nature—and then disappears. "Listening to her heart" somehow manages to cross the difficult language barrier for everyone, something which The Nostalgia Chick is incredibly confused by. | |

In the cartoon of Donkey Kong Country, DK is carefully crossing a narrow bridge in a temple when he's suddenly assaulted by several arrows in a booby trap. As he's dodging, Funky Kong calls out and tells DK to "let [his] body do the brain work". DK survives the trap and makes it to the other side. | |

In Fullmetal Alchemist, Alphonse tries to learn Xingese Purification Arts (the equivalent of Alchemy) from May. Her lessons are frustratingly vague to him, because it's all about "Feeling the Dragon's Pulse" and "opening your mind" and Al has a lot of trouble thinking in those terms. Telling May to "explain it more academically" doesn't help him. Apparently, you have to be "like woooosh!" | |

In Batman Begins, Ducard lectures Bruce about overcoming his fear and not blaming himself for his parents' death. It comes across as an inversion, given that he's telling him to approach the situation rationally instead of dwelling on his emotions. Bruce's whole training montage seems to be about taking control of his anger, guilt and fear instead of being driven by them. | |

A variation in Momentum (2003), when Adrian Geiger is trying to teach the other telekinetics how to do something they previously-thought impossible (like move a car half a mile away or grab a sniper on the roof). Notable is that it fails with his Number Two (who is too hot-headed to get it right) but succeeds with the protagonist, who has always considered his powers a curse. | |

This trope is the reason Guemon in Toriko is powerful enough to singlehandedly fight off beasts with Immeasurable Capture Level. His vast battle experience gives him the ability to instinctively strike at his enemies' weak points while avoiding all attacks without wasting time or energy thinking about his moves. He personally trains Sunny — whose primary weakness is that his style of fighting takes an incredible amount of brainpower to use — to do this as well. Sunny is shocked when Toriko manages to pull this off immediately after seeing Sunny do it. Sunny reasons that Toriko's greater battle experience made it easier for him to develop his instinct. | |

In both Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' and Dragon Ball Super, Whis tells Vegeta that he's relatively slow because he wastes time thinking about his moves. During Super's Universe Survival Saga, Goku achieves a state called "Ultra Instinct" where the user acts entirely on instinct and reflexes with no conscious thought whatsoever, something that's said to be extremely difficult for even Gods to achieve. However, at first he can only use an incomplete version that has a major logical flaw: while his defense is nigh-on impregnable, his attacks are far weaker because that actually does require conscious thought (where to hit, how hard, etc). In the final minutes of the tournament Goku achieves full mastery of Ultra Instinct, which has powerful enough offense that it's the first thing to do real damage to Jiren. |

Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends parodied it in "The Big Leblooski", when Mac acquired a mentor in bowling who talks like this about feeling the ball instead of knowing it.

Excel♡Saga: These exact words are left by Nabeshin to Excel at the end of their "intensive training" in episode 9. Ultimately it's parodied: She defeats the bowling villain by exploding the bomb hidden within the bowling ball Nabeshin left her. Also, this being Excel, the "don't think" part goes without saying. | |

In The Kingkiller Chronicle, the magical art of Naming requires an intuitive grasp of everything about the object being Named, which is explicitly impossible to process consciously. To explain, the instructor challenges the class to calculate exactly where a ball will land when he throws it; he lets them struggle in vain with the math, then lobs the ball at someone in the hallway, who catches it without thinking. | |

Discworld: Subverted in The Wee Free Men with some advice given to the main character Averting or subverting this is a central feature of witchcraft, which is interesting given their Mother Nature, Father Science contrast to the academic wizards. In Lords and Ladies, Magrat Garlick spends most of the book believing that the reason she can't use the godmother wand correctly is that she isn't wishing hard enough, until Granny Weatherwax tells her it's because she never tried to find out how it actually worked. |

In the Planescape campaign, the entire faction of the Transcendent Order, also know as the Ciphers, follow this principle in everything. They're consequently called the 'Ciphers' because it's impossible to figure out their rationale — they don't have one since they act on impulse. In-game, this means the player of a Cipher character doesn't get to go "no, wait..." after they've announced what they're going to do, no matter how stupid, silly and/or suicidal the declared action is. As with all things, it's up to the DM if they want to enforce it. | |

A variation in X-Men: First Class. Erik initially could only use his abilities by channeling his anger, until Xavier taught him how to control and vastly amplify them by reaching a state of Tranquil Fury, rather than let his rage consume him. | |

In Soul Nomad & the World Eaters, Gig uses a speech of this type to get Revya to tap into his power — he's not trying to train the protagonist but to goad Revya to accept his Deal with the Devil, in which case it's doubly important for him that you don't think too much over it. | |

Subverted in Samurai Champloo. An old hermit tries to teach Jin a lesson by using fishing as an example. The lesson: Go with the flow. If you do, the fish will come to you. He then attempts to catch a fish this way and... fails. "Well... Some fish are going to slip by anyway." May be a Double Subversion, as the advice was still useful. | |

In Inspector Gadget (1999), this is the principle behind Gadget's Neuron Synapse Amplifier processor-chip. All their previous experiments failed because they kept trying to mentally command the bionic prosthetic into moving. It only responds when the tester begins absent-mindedly moving the same body part it's modeled after, mirroring his motions. "It's animated by will, not by thought. By your heart, not your head!" | |

The Lost Fleet: Captain Geary describes his talent for complex formation tactics and four-dimensional thinking as something that "has to happen below the level of conscious thought", and which takes years of training to get really good at. Interestingly, for the ships he's commanding the exact opposite applies; his approach requires each vessel to execute their given manouveres with exceptionally precise timing and maintain strict formation discipline, with a very small margin of error. | |

One for All and Eight for the Ninth: Mirko points out Izuku, while having very good fighting skills, tends to overthink stuff, which distracts him during a fight, but when he disengages his intellectual part he's an absolute beast. She initially tries this by insulting him, but when he reaches his Rage Breaking Point he kicks her so hard she's embedded into a wall. Izuku then realizes he can use his muttering to keep his mind busy while he fights. | |

Later, Peter Quill manages to use the Celestial powers he inherited from his father this way. Spider-Man: Far From Home: Peter first began to consciously notice his Spider-Sense in Infinity War, and it's growing stronger in this film. At the climax, he masters it to the point that he can circumvent Mysterio's illusions, fighting with his eyes shut and relying on instinct to avoid the attacking drones. Spider-Man: No Way Home: The Spider-Man from the Earth-96283 describes this is how his organic webbing works. In his own words, he doesn't do it, like he doesn't do breathing, it just happens. |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: For Aang, learning each bending discipline requires a certain amount of letting go of what the previous one taught. Airbending? Go with the flow, let loose. Waterbending? Go with the flow, but never let it control you. Earthbending? Stay in control. Keep aware of everything around you. Firebending? Stay aware of the life and danger of fire - and know when to let loose. They're all more intuitive than not, but each one intuiting a different instinct and acting on that. Firebending still requires control that airbending lacks, hence the undisciplined response Aang has when he tries to learn firebending early. Also provides a Fridge Brilliance justification for the "Avatar cycle" in which Fire comes after Earth, since Aang does much better at it after he has internalized Earth's emphasis on control and obstinance. | |

The Colbert Report uses this as its central theme, lampooning the way some conservative pundits and politicians take positions based on what they feel is true rather than what the facts say. This is the meaning of the neologism "truthiness." Colbert frequently says that he thinks with his gut because there are more nerve endings in the gut than in the brain. He doesn't know if that's true, but it feels true. | |

12 Miles Below: This is the secret behind the "Iron Body" technique. Relic armor mimics the user's movements. If you learn to get the armor to mimic your movements without actually moving, it will react far faster than human muscles would ever allow. Surface knights touch upon this after decades of practice, while Imperial knights learn it much earlier and more reliably after a few years of mindlessly repeating their limited fighting forms. Keith figures out how to combine it with the quasi-meditative state of his soul sight to basically pilot the armor directly with his soul. | |

A recurring them in Animorphs is the kids learning to let their current morphs handle the details of whatever they want to do, whether it's flying as a bird or scurrying around as a spider. Best demonstrated when Jake spends several seconds as a monkey slowly climbing a tree while Marco lets the monkey part of his mind handle it and scurries up into the canopy in a few seconds. Though some animal instincts, such as those of insects, have to be tightly controlled due to how alien they are. | |

In The Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer, this is how Hangetsu considers his martial prowess - yes his training was important, but little compares to his native genius. He fights heavily on instinct. It gets him killed when he jumps in the way of a blow meant for Yuuhi. Yuuhi, meanwhile, has to come to grips with the fact that he can't fight on instinct like Hangetsu does, and has to think around his opponents for every victory. | |

My Hero Academia: This is why All Might sucks as a teacher and cannot effectively help Izuku Midoriya master the power of One For All. For All Might, tapping into its power was easy, natural, and instinctual. He cannot think of a way to explain it in academic terms and just tells Izuku to trust his instincts. Unfortunately, Izuku needs to do things academically and sucks at using his instincts, injuring himself whenever he uses his powers. When the much smarter Gran Torino starts mentoring Izuku, he quickly figures out an academic way how Izuku can use his powers without injuring himself. | |

Top Gun: Unlike the other U.S. Naval Aviators, Maverick doesn't have a particular style. He flies almost entirely on instinct. At one point, he flat-out states to Charlie that, "You think, you're dead." This is also repeated in the sequel, which uses Maverick's catchphrase "Don't think, just do" as some of its Arc Words. | |

Planescape: Torment, Night hag Ravel Puzzlewell bites back on this sentiment when she chastises the Fiery Redhead Annah with, "The tiefling. The fiery one. No choice. At. All. When you feel instead of think, there is little room for choice." Ravel's whole worldview revolves around riddles and magic, two disciplines you can't "feel" your way through in the Planescape universe. She then "thought" her way into a dimensional prison when her endless quest for riddles and answers lead her to chase after the secrets of the Lady of Pain, who doesn't appreciate such things. Trias is an angel who hates the reasoning and rationales of his fellows who goad the demons and devils along in the Blood War, letting the forces of evil destroy themselves, because it offends how he feels how things should be. Trias the Betrayer feels himself into falling from Heaven. The devil Fhjull's downfall mostly came from doing neither thinking nor feeling. The best ending could be argued for or against the trope, though, since it involves the Nameless One both reasoning and intuiting his way through Talking the Monster to Death. |

In Magic: The Gathering, Red and Green magic is this trope, gameplay wise. Red's is known for being passionate and emotional so it's primary strategy is to finish the game as quickly as possible, but have trouble surviving midgame. Green is about being one with nature so uses cards that revere nature and/or are gargantuan beasts of nature. A sharp contrast is Blue and White magic, who "thinks" (takes its time) about how to dominate the game. Black magic users can go either way since that branch of magic encourages people to be selfish, and do whatever they want to. The ironic thing being that playing Red in top level tournaments requires an obscene attention to probability and efficiency, even while using cards that represent thoughtless destruction, frequently in concert with mass quantities of collateral damage. For an individual example the Vedalken Heretic is from a world that's disdainful of instinct and anything associated with organic life, yet she has this epiphany when encountering a world that's filled with natural life. The Goblin Catapult. Tap, sacrifice a creature (killing it), deal that creature's damage to target player (which a more thoughtful player could do many times over several rounds by using the normal attack phase. For reference, the card itself is an artifact (no color). It is goblins themselves, which also bring the original haste mechanic to the game, that are red, and themed around suicide runs and dealing damage that also lashes-back on their controller. A particularly evil example of this is Vorinclex of New Phyrexia, who believes that sapient thought is a crippling weakness; his ideal world is one where creatures act solely on instinct, with no thought behind their movements. Appropriately, he's mono-Green. |

How to Train Your Dragon (2010): When Hiccup befriends Toothless, he's not thinking about his village's 'kill the dragon' philosophy; he's focused entirely on empathy. By realizing that Toothless was just as afraid as he was, he learns to understand Toothless on an emotional level. It's such an emotional process he doesn't realize how it works until Astrid prods him with an Armor-Piercing Question. Then, by reasoning through his emotional process, he invents dragon training. When Hiccup is first trying to learn how to ride Toothless (guiding him by using the foot pedal), he loses his cheat sheet which shows how the pedal positions affect the dragon's tail position. Both he and Toothless almost fall to their deaths trying to recover the cheat sheet. When Hiccup finally gets back on Toothless' back, they are headed right for a maze of rocks. Hiccup just throws away the cheat sheet and guides Toothless through the maze using pure instinct. |

In Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA, Illya tries to help Miyu learn how to fly by telling her, "Don't think, imagine." Unfortunately, it doesn't work. Illya is a huge fan of anime and can fly at will just because the magical girls she admires can fly. Miyu is so jaded that even seeing Illya fly right in front of her can't convince her that flying is possible. Later, Miyu can memorize all the steps in a dance, but because she thinks about it so hard, it looks too forced and rigid. She resorts to cheating using magic to win a dance contest. | |

Ultra Series has this happen a few times: Ultraman Z: Haruki is given training in an early episode to fight without using his eyes. This turns into a Chekhov's Skill against Neronga, who can turn invisible. Ultra Galaxy Fight: The Destined Crossroad: Zero's training from hell under Seven, Leo, and Joneus is done to reawaken his primal instincts, allowing him to abandon all techniques and emotions to face Absolute Tartarus in a rematch. Ultraman Trigger: New Generation Tiga: Ribut gives Kengo and Yuna training on how to empty their minds so Kengo can master Glitter Trigger Eternity and Yuna can learn how to use Yuzare's power. |

Parodied in the Ninja Gaiden episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd, most prominently in this section, which even invokes this trope by name: Don't Think, Feel was apparently the idea they had for how to shoot that scene, since the outtakes show the Ninja pretty much making up stuff as he went along. |

In Delicious in Dungeon, this is Falin's approach to magic. It works really well for her, but it turns out that it isn't the best method for teaching magic. She tried to teach Laios magic in the past this way with little success while when Marcille later uses a more explained approach, he is able to pick it up relatively fast. | |

The Moonstone Cup: A running theme is that Twilight's way of using magic is a lot more instinctual than she thinks it is. While most magicians need to laboriously construct spells to achieve their ends, she can simply imagine a desired goal and have it happen.

Amazing Fantasy: Izuku struggles to learn how to use his newly-built web-shooters because he's focused on the minute details of aiming to make sure he hits, only to take too long and miss a still target by a long shot. Peter, who mastered his powers and equipment in almost no time at all, tells Izuku to stop worrying and just have some confidence that he can do it. Izuku balks at this advice at first, but he soon finds that web-shooting and web-swinging come much more naturally once he just lets go and takes that leap of faith. | |

The Book of Boba Fett sees Luke Skywalker using the training of Qui-Gon Jinn and Yoda when teaching Grogu the ways of the Jedi. He tries to teach the kid to Force jump, and Grogu’s first attempt is rather minuscule (but adorable). He asks Grogu to feel the Force flowing through him and then jump; Grogu responds by thinking hard and then jumping, but doesn’t improve. Luke points out that he’s trying too hard and later uses a Marksman training remote to lightly tase Grogu, which succeeds in finally emotionally causing Grogu to perform a successful Force jump. | |

There's implication that this trope was used in MÄR after Ginta and Jack are trained for the second time, which is during the War Games. Their master is asked what they were taught and in response launches a pebble at each of them. They both dodge despite being shot at from behind. The humor is explored with Jack catching the stone.. and then rolling around on the ground because the pebble was moving at such speed that being stupid enough to catch the thing hurt. | |

Firefly: When the crew invades a skyplex to rescue The Captain, secondary defense of the ship relies on a shepherd, a doctor, a mechanic and a mentally traumatised young girl. At the time, Book is the only one with known combat training. Although Simon does try hard to help, Book ends up having to advise him that he's thinking too much and should just go with the shot. In the end, it doesn't help. Simon still can't hit the broad side of a barn. His sister, on the other hand... does feel it. | |

In Dragon Ball Z it was like this when Gohan taught Videl to fly. It was so natural for him at that point (and the bulk of his family) that it was hard for him to explain it in concrete terms. The Latin American dub for the show's opening theme (CHA-LA HEAD CHA-LA) contains a line that references this trope. In the original Japanese, where the song is stranger and more passionate, the same line says something along the lines of "my head is empty, so I can fill it with dreams". In both Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' and Dragon Ball Super, Whis tells Vegeta that he's relatively slow because he wastes time thinking about his moves. During Super's Universe Survival Saga, Goku achieves a state called "Ultra Instinct" where the user acts entirely on instinct and reflexes with no conscious thought whatsoever, something that's said to be extremely difficult for even Gods to achieve. However, at first he can only use an incomplete version that has a major logical flaw: while his defense is nigh-on impregnable, his attacks are far weaker because that actually does require conscious thought (where to hit, how hard, etc). In the final minutes of the tournament Goku achieves full mastery of Ultra Instinct, which has powerful enough offense that it's the first thing to do real damage to Jiren. |

A contestant who made it into the top 24 on the tenth season of American Idol was given the advice that her performances were not emotional enough and was told not to think so much. Feel. Certain other contestants in past seasons have been told a similar spin on this. | |

Spider-Man: Spider-Man does not have a mentor but his Spider-Sense can be tuned to the point at which he reacts based on this sixth sense, letting go of any thoughts. He'll even close his eyes during this time, allowing himself to act on instinct. This usually comes during very emotional or dangerous situations. In The Amazing Spider-Man (1999) #597, he defeated Wolverine's son, Daken, who has empath powers, by doing this. | |

Neon White: Yellow tells White this after White rebuffs his attempts at partnership; he's not exactly giving wise advice so much as looking for someone to bro around with. | |
