Intuitive Experiences

I've been tentative to post this, but feel it's the right thing to do, as it's part of my journey and understanding of myself. It's also completely natural, as everyone (yes, everyone) possesses the wonderful trait called Intuition, and everyone has the ability to pick up on information, it just depends how tuned in you are and how sensitive you are to energy.

The other week was the most recent example of my experience with intuition. The morning after a party, I was outside walking around with my camera and walked near my sister in law's dog. She (the dog) was laying down on the grass and I got an immediate sense that she was not 'quite' dead, but that she would "be" dead. I took a photo because I love taking photos, and thought I was being silly thinking how she looked "dead" when she was just laying there sleeping. My niece aged 7yrs, walked up to me and burst out with "she looks dead" (nice confirmation for my intuitive feelings at that moment).  Of course being around a child I just said "no she's just sleeping".
The next day my sister in law contacts us to say her dog had died. Apparently she went lame, and they had to put her down.

Now this could very easily be passed off as just a coincidence, but I'm learning to realise that what I feel at the time, is intuition, and it's important to trust your feelings or sense of 'knowing'.

How many times have you thought of someone and the next moment that exact person calls you on the phone?  Or how many times do you get a feeling of something not being right, or having a feeling that you shouldn't be somewhere or do something, when later it proves you correct? This is intuition. It's inbuilt in all of us.

I find that personally, my intuition grows stronger and occurs more frequently the older I get. This is partially due to the fact that I am naturally quite sensitive, and partially due to me being aware of this gift, and acknowledging it as often as I can whenever it occurs.

Here I'll share with you a select few of my intuitive moments. I will break them up in sections of dreams, voices, visions, and energy/feelings:

Energy/Feelings:
★ One late afternoon as the sun was setting, I was standing on the balcony of our apartment looking out towards the street. When I came back inside I had an eery feeling of something not being "right",  and had a strong urge to light a candle and close the blinds (which I did immediately). I kept mentioning to my husband how strange the energy was that I was sensing. The next day we got a phone call letting us know that my husbands grandfather had passed away.

★ One morning upon waking, I had an overwhelming urge to stay in bed. Each time I wanted to get out of bed it felt as though my body would just not cooperate, and felt incredibly heavy. Energetically, I just didn't feel right, and felt more sensitive than usual. When I finally did get up, I let my husband know how I was feeling and specifically asked him to be extra gentle with me. I couldn't shake off the negative energy & 'off' feeling. I just knew something would take place that day.
As usual I thought I was being ridiculous, ignored what I was feeling, and proceeded to make plans for that day. We hopped in the car and started our drive on the highway. A short time later, traffic began to slow... and on the opposite side of the road a high speed car accident took place directly infront of us. Immediately all the negative energies I experienced earlier made sense. "Ah ha!" moment. Shaking that accident off, we continued driving at snails pace, still stuck in standstill traffic on our side of the road. Soon enough we witnessed an overturned car & trailer, with a seriously injured cow laying on the side of the road, wide eyed, and kicking it's legs in shock. It was horrific to see. Again, confirming the feelings I had earlier. I learnt then to always trust my intuition.

★ Whilst reading in bed, home alone, with my head flat on the pillow laying very still, I suddenly felt the pillow get pushed downwards to the right of my head, as if someone touched it or laid their hand on it. I felt an overwhelming feeling of calm, contentment, and protection. It was so lovely that I stopped reading and just laid there for 10 minutes absorbing the energy.

Dreams:
★ One night I had a dream that my cousin in law was pregnant. The following morning I let her know about my dream and asked her jokingly whether she was or not. Of course it was denied, but 3 months later when ready to tell the world, she told me that yes they had infact just found out they were pregnant a day beforehand.

Voices:
★ At around age 13 when I was busy occupied with something or other, I heard a clear voice in my mind stating "you will be with a man with blue eyes". I was a little puzzled as it was so random, thinking it was my imagination, but after that somehow I just "knew". I would always tell my my mum and friends that I'm going to end up with someone who has blue eyes. When I met my now husband at 18, he was the one with the blue eyes. The minute I saw him it was the blue eyes that entranced me, and still does to this day. I went on & on about his "blue eyes" to my family and anyone that would listen, as it seemed so pivotal. Looking back, it's as though the eyes were a clear sign to me that this was the man I agreed to become life partners with.

★ One night after having just learned that my aunt was diagnosed with a brain tumour, I was laying in bed quietly reflecting on the news when I heard a voice in my mind say "She is going to die, now." It was very clear, calm, and matter of fact. Deep down I just knew. It was very confirming. She passed away very quickly almost 2 months later to the day.

Visions:
★ I was working an office job, and whilst at the computer I suddenly got a flash (think movie reel vision) of myself in a hospital bed, holding a baby, with my husband sitting beside me leaning over the bed. I could see the room fairly clearly and the window was to the right of me.

★ The morning after my 27th birthday I was in bed after just having woken up, thinking about all the mundane things that had to be done that week, when I had a vision of a little blonde haired boy aged about 2 or 3, riding a tricycle directly towards me (as if I were the lens). I could see his face clearly and had the distinct impression of "perfection" as if he were my son.

★ One night I was laying quietly in bed reading a book next to my husband, when I heard a tiny creak of the door (it was closed), which was enough to make my head turn. I immediately saw a tiny but vibrant gold spark of light dart around the room near the bottom of the door, before it disappeared in what seemed like a split second.

★ During a meditation in my Reiki course, I saw a bright blue 'pearl of light' coming towards me in my mind's eye. Immediately after the meditation was over, I was left with an overwhelming sense, and extremely emotional knowing of having just been "home". I wanted nothing more than to go "back home", spiritually speaking.

So as you can see, intuition and Spirit can come to us in many ways :) I have had many more personal experiences but have selected these few to share.

Maybe you have had similar experiences to what I have listed here - if so, feel free to share your intuitive moments too! ❤
