All of my life I have been extremely intuitive.  Most of my life I have denied what I knew and chalked it up to over-active imagination or emotions.  I had so many missed opportunities in every area of my life because I didn't trust my sixth sense.  A little over 20 years ago I was fortunate to meet a therapist who believed in the sixth sense and recognized my ability.  I learned to listen and trust that small inner voice.  And the way I learned to make a distinction between over-active thought processes and true sixth sense was that true sixth sense messages don't come with emotions, or judgments . . . they just are.  And they come without seeking and never fully know the circumstances of a situation.  But they are always "right on".  It is a knowing.

On Friday nights I make a list of sales we will go to as we garner antiques, art and other valuables, from advertised sources.  But sometimes there is a sale and it's just a little sign on a post.  As we cruise I often intuitively throw the agenda out the window and follow my gut to amazing finds.  I'll say "you know Taisto, I have a feeling we should go to this one".  It always turns out to be a goldmine.  Yes, I listen to my gut.  Especially when dealing with people.  My weekday job involves clients and I have to chose them carefully.  I always interview a client before I take the job.  If my instinct feels troubled I turn it down.

I thought I didn't have a sixth sense.  That is before last summer.  I was planning a trip and I usually plan it according to one specific thing I will be doing.  All during the planing stage I had this feeling I shouldn't go.  I even told co-workers about it.  They said I shouldn't go.  It was just little things that would go wrong.  I still forged ahead and went.  When I got to where I was going, my main activity had been cancelled that same day.  I was very dissapointed.  Having travelled so far, it took 8 hours of flights including airport waits to get there,  I made the most of it and still had a great time touring.

I might have had this sixth sense all along but had never noticed it.  Too busy I guess.  It was so intense.  Will I listen to it if it makes its appearance again?  Not sure...

I try to always follow my intutiion because it's almost always right.  I think women are very developed in this area because we are the keepers of the home, and family.  We need this to do our job. 

I rely on my intuitive senses a lot... but it's not only been the case.  As a child I was told I was being silly or weird and to stop it.  So, I did for a few years, but as I got older I still had these 'premonitions' that would occur.  At times I would alert others, but not actually telling them what I really felt, I just disguised it as being overly cautious.  Now that I'm older, I am experiencing them still, but in different ways...sometimes preceeded with a headache or 'goosebumps', etc.   I went for a 'psychic' reading a few months ago and was told I had my own answers, I just had to listen to them.   It's all quite interesting and I'm looking forward to 'fine tuning' this gift more.  I found this discussion interesting.

The intuition we recognize coming from the gut is one of the places we are inclined to open without fuss.  And yet, it is attached intrinsicly with the psychic abilities. 

Using all your 5 senses - sight, sound, smell, taste, touch - tactile and emotional - add that intuition you understand and one more - I know that comes from the heart (your heart neither sees nor hears - it just knows).  Now you have opened the psychic abilities that are inherent in all human beings.

You trust your gut reactions, now trust the rest of your senses and see your life unfold in immeasurable spirit joys.

I am sure that I had instances of premonitions before that day but I can say that I never thought about it until I was cruelly in the mist of it.

I had to fly to Vancouver one spring 25 years ago and since I had been living a seclude tranquil life for the prior three years I ignored all of my concerns that something bad was going to happen to me. I thought that I was just not up to travel in a fast pace world and feared it.

 My intuition was screaming so loud that I had to take a Valium to dim it.  That made it so much easier for the rapist.

Afterward I spent years analyzing my premonition and my effort to silence it.

 I read many books on the subject and I gave myself permission to listen to the cautionary voice.

I listen now and I am alive to write this. One of the worst parts is being a passenger in a fast moving vehicle and get the driver to slow down NOW because there is an obstacle around the blind curve on the road. That happened twice, both times it involved animals, a moose right in our lane and the next time was a group of mountain goats.

Never mind surviving a fatal crash when less that a second to spare I had my husband refrain from passing as a roaring car decided to overtake us.

What about driving very slowly at three AM signaling to turn left in an utterly empty town to turn at a Motel and stopping, looking, when suddenly a runaway eight wheeler cut us off from our turn, we do drive long distances.

 While on vacation I also had a dream of a white cat getting run over and I was so panicked about it that I had to phone home and find out if my Siamese cat was safe at our house. He was safe but that night during a violent Maritimes rainstorm while caught in a fast moving multiple lane of traffic we could not miss the cat running underneath our car.

 I believe that we should close our scattered brain and just breathe and accept other possibilities. It is so very hard sometimes to triage emotions from the unseen reality.

 For the last ten years I have been trying to understand what one part of my intuition was telling me.

 Maybe one of you knows. This is a real situation and not a dream.

 I was walking away from my friend in a large parking lot and I was answering her question. Out of the corner of my eye I recognized a man coming toward us but my mouth was talking and I could feel a bell like cavity resonating as my words were tumbling out.

My mind kept saying shut up but my words could not be stopped.

I knew that I was sealing my husband’s fate and that what I had just said   (something very mundane about people living happily in different places that this one) I knew that this man ‘my husband new employer’ was going to fire him I knew it right at that moment and I felt that the resonance, that bell like sound, was destiny.

Have any of you experience that resonance before.

I have learned to trust my gut, almost always.  My Virgo-analytical mind always wants to turn things every which way and examine them from every angle but in the end, I always go with what I call "my first mind".  Whenever I have gone against that, it usually resulted in a wrong decision being made and I have regretted it. 

I actually think that some of the stuff we call "intuition" is just plain ordinary paying attention. People give themselves away in a million different ways without knowing it; almost everyone has a 'tell'.  The man who cheats has changed... something... his body language; his habits; the tone of his voice; the set of his brow... something that tips you off. That's not intuition; that's science! (^_^)  I always say, "watch what people do; not what they say".  Anyone can say anything, but they will most often DO what is really in their hearts; their actions give them away.

That doesn't mean I don't believe in a 'sixth sense', though.  One day many years ago, I was sitting at my desk when the phone rang.  We didn't have caller ID on our phones but when I picked it up, I said, "Hi, Ivette".  I had absolutely no way of knowing it was her; she hadn't said she would call that day; I didn't even know if she was in that day because we worked on separate floors.  After we hung up, I sat there stunned for a full five minutes.  How did I know it was her?   I still have no clue.

Most of my premonitions come to me through dreams. When my first marriage failed, I was so heartbroken I could barely function. After that anytime I got involved with someone who wasn't right for me I had warning dreams. I had a dream about a bracelet that one man gave me that had our names on little tags joined together. The braclet broke between our names and fell off my wrist. Sure enough I soon found out what kind of man he really was! Another time I dreamed the man I was involved with was cheating on me with another woman, and the pearl ring he gave me crumbled. I saw the woman in this dream, and my brother said he saw them together and she looked exactly like I described her. If I was involved with someone I decided to break up with there would be no warning dream. Before I met my current husband a woman came to me in a dream and told me all about him. She had long blond hair and was wearing what looked like a white linen pant suit. My husband was exactly what she described! We have been married now for almost 22 years. I wonder if she was my spirit guide? I have gotten warning dreams for other types of situations too. I also had a gut feeling about winning lottery numbers, but didn't play. I sure wish I had, I would have won some cash! I was at work and a silly tune from the 60's kept playing in my head. I don't really like the song, it was the one that goes 3 6 9 the goose drank wine, all day long I kept thinking about it and on my way home I thought why not buy a pick 3 lottery ticket, but didn't and sure enough the winning numbers were 369!

I, absolutely listen to my "sixth sence", my "gut feeling", my "little voice".....

Whatever we want to call it, I appreciate that many women have given it a name of somekind. It is a true 'sence' of what will or will not, should be or should not be. I listen to it, and it is ALMOST ALWAYS the correct choice.

Be true to yourself? Listen to your "sixth sence".
