Intuition: A Practice in Relaxation

Working with Intuition is by no means a science - at least not like any conventional science where you get accurate measurements or results. The best you can hope for is having any information you receive validated afterwards, and better yet, by someone else. This can be a bit scarey, however, as long as it is not someone asking a question involving a life/death emergency, it's ok by me (and in which case I would have directed anyone to '911' if it were a matter of emergency! I'm simply not going there).

How do I do a reading? The method is quite simple once you have practiced enough. I can honestly say, I do not practice near what I'd like. When I begin a reading, I start by relaxing as though meditating, drawing in deep breaths (usually 2-4 full breaths before returning to my regular breathing). I continue to relax my mind. If someone asked a question, I keep the question in mind as if I am asking it. The way the information comes to me can only be described as one of those moments an idea fully pops into your head. Ever get one of those 'ah ha!' moments when you've had a great idea - that's it. During this time, I keep the relaxation going. I do not find that it is a point of 'emptying' your mind, but simply focusing on the question at hand. If something unrelated comes to mind (my day at work, etc..), I simply acknowledge it and push it out with a 'thank you for bringing this to my attention' then bring my thought back to the question - always be polite to your thoughts as it keeps the relaxing atmosphere going! If you get something, great! If you do not, it's still great! At least you are making the effort. Keep practicing and you WILL get something. Trust! Believe you can do it, because you can - everyone can so long as they practice!

I mentioned meditation. It greatly aids in psychic/intuitive work! It allows you to relax, focus and receive the information. There are many ways to meditate of which goes way beyond this post. Many sites can be found with a lot of free music and guided meditations to choose from. Try them out! As time goes on, and with practice, you will need the meditative prep-time less and just get into the zone faster, if not immediately

There have been times I get information through intuition that is so vague it feels useless, but, if asked by someone else, I relay this information regardless. The same with information that I receive that does not make sense - I relay it regardless. The reason for this is due to the fact it may make sense to the person who has asked the question. I do make the attempt to ask additional questions, either out loud or in my mind, to clarify if answers where vague. Sometimes I get that additional info, sometimes I do not.

There have also been times where the information I've relayed to people makes no sense to even them. However, in those cases, I ask that they keep the information in mind. An example of this... When I did a psychometry reading for a friend, the name Rosemary came to mind. My friend knew no one with the name, nor heard the name for quite some time (not a very common name to hear in these parts). I received a call from her 2 hours later. She said shortly after I left the restaurant she worked at, a woman on a cell phone came in, sat down, and my friend heard her say 'Hello, this is Rosemary...' to the other party on the phone.

I don't believe in coincidences, however I do believe in synchronicities. The difference between these two words? The first are events that occur together by 'mere chance' and the latter are events that occur together with some 'meaningful' relationship. In the case of the 'Rosemary' name that came up in the reading: This type of information doesn't necessarily mean anything directly to the person getting the reading, but actually is more of a validation flag. It gives validation that the person doing the reading had been 'tuned in' and that the other information was being received intuitively. These type of flags will come up now and then as a validation.

It happened that, later that night, much more of the reading came to light for my friend at the restaurant. So it made more sense to her as the day/night progressed.

As humans, we are a 'questioning' species. Once we learn to 'trust' our intuition, this may change, but at this time we need answers and validations to much of what we do or want to do at any time. Personally I think it is healthy to ask for validation intuitively. Just be sure to pay attention once you put the request out there.

Following is an example of an intuitive reading that I did about a week ago:
A friend asked me for some help. She needed to find a set of keys but had just moved and things were not in a place easily found. This whole conversation occurred through messaging.

My first impressions were a jewellery box or cash box. She replied that this is where they used to be, but were not at this time. The next mental image was of the keys between papers, or in an envelope. She went to pursue this new information.

While she was gone, I pulled out my pendulum. The pendulum is a handy device used to receive yes/no/maybe answers to questions asked. My first question, Were the keys in her house? - Yes; Were the keys in the Kitchen? - Yes (Kitchen was the first room to pop into my mind. With this, I texted her the information.

Within 5 minutes (this whole conversation was, I believe, no more than 15 mins), she texted me back. She found the keys in and envelope, with some papers, in another envelope which was in an unpacked box, marked 'Kitchen', of wall-hangings.

Your Heart is the Key

"Forgiveness means letting go of the past."
   ~ Gerald Jampolsky
One of the most important ways to truly come into our own power is to let go of the past - and this includes forgiving everyone in it. If someone wronged you, it's in the past and letting go of it is essential to moving forward, otherwise you continually carry that past energy forward with you causing a whole world of hurt for yourself! Forgiveness of that person who stole from you, hurt you, broke your heart, destroyed your life... and more-so than any of them - yourself. Without the ability to forgive yourself, forgiveness of anyone is practically impossible as you will use the same old excuses to not forgive them as you do not to forgive yourself.

The number of people I've listened to who have said, time and time again, "I forgive this person, and that person for the wrong they have done to me" is staggering. Only to hear them spew venom about that very same person shortly after - or in the same breath as the so-called 'forgiveness'. Feigning forgiveness does not count when it comes to the energetic power involved! You cannot fake it! There are no ways to 'fool' energy into being positive state from negative state. This is just a facade which will decay over time, maybe painfully.

Our heart is the key.

If your heart does not feel the forgiveness for someone on an energetic level, then that door will remain locked to you and that venom of accusations and finger-pointing will continue until you have run yourself insane, sick or worse. This negative energy becomes directed in hazardous ways, sometimes to those not even involved in the situation, or even back to yourself. No matter what is vocalized, it will simply be a lie to yourself and any you choose to tell. And what is a lie? More negative energy added on top of the venom, multiplying exponentially the damage caused in all directions.

Quite the mountain to be buried under - perhaps volcano is a better term? It eventually disconnects us from all other sources of positive energy flow as we push ourselves further away and down that lava flow. Makes for a very slow and difficult return!

If the heart does feel the forgiveness, then the voice will reflect exactly that sincerity. Others listening will feel the forgiveness more than hear it. The positive energy will flow from within and without. Forgiveness comes from the heart. Words are extremely powerful, but energy coming from the heart will over shadow any words that you could ever use. Considering the happiness and joy, or the sting and hurt that words may cause, it is quite the contrast to the power which comes from our heart - positive or negative.

Forgiveness may be one of the most challenging, gut-wrenching things we must do, but I have felt the results myself... from both sides.
