Starting A Journey Inward
When I was a teenager I can remember having an uncannily reliable intuition.
We would have a drawing for a prize in class and somehow I just 'knew' the number in my teacher's head, (actually, I still have a small Indonesian figurine that I won from a Global Studies teacher my sophomore year of high school).
I would lose something (my pager - yes, pager or an earring) and if I simply closed my eyes I would see a picture of the missing object lying somewhere particular (just under the front passenger seat of my '82 Buick Skyhawk for example). Out I would trudge to the driveway to check my car and Tah-Dah! There it would be, lying in exactly the same position I 'saw' in my mind.
My dreams were vivid also and guided me to make the right decisions (and I now know with confidence that the dreams were the 'right' decisions because often during those years I chose to do the opposite and found the consequences very disagreeable). Always listen to that inner voice, especially you rebellious teens!!
I often found myself immersed in strong and frequent bouts of deja vu. And when I would glance around the room during these experiences, I would often be drawn to a particular person. It was as if I were sensing their discomfort or distractedness. Was this person reaching out for help on a level even they weren't aware of?
I came to rely on these 'gut feelings' as high school shifted to college and college to life. Then suddenly I hit 30 and my natural intuition became hazy. I didn't think it 'coincidental' that my days at this time were busy and stressful. A husband in an unhappy work situation, two young boys with overwhelming levels of energy, a concern for mom who felt trapped in a loveless marriage and for a brother that stood at a vital crossroad in his journeys.
All of this led to a LOUDNESS in my mind and I found I could no longer reliably tap into whatever source of intuition I once found so naturally. It was like trying to have an intimate conversation at a heavy metal concert! And I felt so lost. My inner voice was being drowned out by the chaos of daily life, and without its guidance that daily life was becoming a burden.
So, a few weeks ago I decided to gain back the quiet in my mind. I browsed through a few websites on intuition and psychic ability and I recognized that I could work at regaining what I had lost.
Welcome to the community of Developing and Enhancing Intuition. I hope you'll join me as I explore my inner potentials. I will post any exercises that I come across in my readings and invite you to join me in recognizing the voice within. Share your experiences and I will do the same.
