Instinctive and deeply felt (8)

I believe the answer is:

visceral

(Other definitions for visceral that I've seen before include "(As an adjective) gut" , "Relating to internal organs of the body" , "Like the gut feelings" , "Appertaining to the guts" , "Intuitive rather than cerebral" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
