How a Little Intuition, and a Little Logic, Saved a Little Life

I told her if we didn’t find him soon, he would probably die from lack of food and water. She started sobbing after that.

Keepin' it real at the Pavlina house. LOL I love it.

Great post.

[Laurenaus]

loved it as well.

I'm glad to hear that the little guy was still alive! I would have been panicking too, pets are family. How is Smoothie doing now?

I think the issue that I run up against when trying to use my intuition to find things is that I just don't trust it as much for some reason, as compared to using my intuition to work through inner issues or guiding others. Strange huh?

Like if I lose something, I try to tune in, I can literally only pick up 'static', but if I'm tuning into someone's question, no problems at all, clear signal feed.

Some perception & assumption block there for sure.

Erin - that's very similar to an experience I had trying to find a pet hamster years ago. I knew she must have ran into our unfinished basement, even though my mother disagreed with me. Well, I insisted, so we went into the basement and found her down there, behind a mattress leaning against the wall.

It's scary when a small, defenseless pet runs loose in your house!

Off topic - kind of ...

I always cringe when I hear that people get turtles as kids pets.

Most people don't realize that they grow 10 -12 inches and need their accomodations expanded accordingly, and can live 40+ years.

That's a pretty big commitment - so they end up getting dumped. Or die of stress and neglect.

Fortune Cookie and Smoothie.

(Just repeating my favorite part as a comment. Have I been on YouTube too much? )

Wow, your intuition was practically spot on! Amazing.

Part of the logic element was memory. I had helped to assemble that credenza.

It's not really THAT heavy. Erin just doesn't have much muscle. I told her that if she couldn't move it herself that either I'd come over and help her, or she could have another friend help her. But I figured she'd be able to move it enough to find the turtle once she took the stuff out of it.

I just wished she'd told me what happened a few days earlier instead of waiting till I was back in town.

Poor little guy...

Didn't want to disturb your retreat darlin'

yeah steve put the hutch and credenza together for me. It was amazing, and complicated. I never knew it was hollow underneath. I'm just soooo relieved that we didn't find him dead, knowing that he was right there and we could have saved him if only I knew about the hollow credenza.

Great story. So glad that the little fella is all right.

Captivating story.

I've found that whenever I am looking for objects, I usually rely on my clairvoyance to help me out. Typically, I'm claircognizant, but for finding physical objects, I always have to close my eyes, breathe in a bit, and feel a couple of heartbeats.

I usually get a picture in my mind, but I've found out that the picture may or may not be the actual place of the object that I'm looking for. Sometimes, it may be around the area, under, about, over, etc. And sometimes, that area is just a "stepping stone" to where the object actually is.

Example: I'm looking for my pitch pipe and I get a picture of a blue-box in my exercise room. I go to the exercise room and it's not in the blue box. However, a red Target bag catches my eye and it reminds me that I once had my pitch pipe in the blue box but moved it to a plastic bag in my room. I still find the object, but it's just a multi-step process.

I've found that my intuition as ALWAYS right - in one way or another - it's just my interpretation of it that is less than 100%. However, whenever I DO "mess up" on my intuition, I can EASILY spot out what my intuition was trying to say to me and how I misinterpreted.

Cheers. Again, captivating article. It actually touched my heart.

We have this situation going on:

As we have been building our house, all the accumulated excess material, and inactive tools are placed in what we lovingly call the Tool Room, which is the farthest room located in our basement.

Whenever we need something retrieved out of there, it looks hopeless - just a jumbled mass of STUFF! I know someday it will get organized, but not right now...

Anyhow, my favorite method of retrieval is to stand in the doorway, and state, "I'm looking for xxxx." And I ALWAYS find it.

I tell people it's the positive thought plus the statement of command....
because I have NO idea how or why it works.

This story reminds me of a funny story from college. We had a teacher who was not so good with words. After a heated argument with someone one day, he said "This whole thing is reaching a credenza!" (instead of reaching a crescendo) Since we were all music majors and he was a music professor it made it even funnier!)

After that point, it became our catch phrase.

I wonder if your teacher remembers this with as much fondness as his students.

[desertrat]

Erin get your self a wight set or join a health center/gym . The next time that critter crawls under any thing heavy , you say " pice of cake mommy can bench press 400 pounds " (lol) . desert rat

Same....

The only way I do it is I ask, "Where is my XXX". But I have to do it OUTLOUD. If I do it in my mind, it doesn't work, but when I ask outloud, I find what I need.
