I’m trying to learn how to pick up on any intuitive thoughts I have. And have tried to journal questions and wait for some hint as to and answer. If everyone has this skill, why dose it take so long to develop it? I see this like finally winning the lotto after playing it for 70 years. And then when you finally win and got the prized payout, you die a week later. I’ve been told I have this ability around me from a psychic before. But trying to meditate, I fall a sleep and remember nothing. I don’t question that this is possible to do. I just cannot seem to get it to work for me. Anyone have some ideas to try to push this ability through the roof.

Freddy, You are trying too hard. don't give yourself a spiritual or mental hernia, by straining. Intuition is a natural process. You can't force nature. (at least not without miracle grow) Start with something simple that you aren't laying down for. This will help keep you from falling asleep. Try some telepathy. Sit with a deck of cards and quiet your mind and focus. What do you think the top card is? Now check it. make two piles...the ones you got right..the ones you didnt get right. After a few trips thru the deck, you will find your accuracy getting better...even if it is only by one card more...each trip thru. Don't give up. Getting over your own skepticism is the first half of the battle, and finding confidence to expand on it, will come with the larger pile of "right" cards. You can also expand this intuition by doing the same card deck thing, but with another person who sees the card and sends you the picture telepathically. This will get better with practice, too. You can also play with dice. predict what will turn up when you roll the die. It seems like a real small start, but remember that the only job that we start at the top, is digging a hole. Happy practice. Blessings, Rebecca

I agree that it sounds like you are trying to force it and that just doesn’t work. As for falling asleep while meditating. Try focusing on something, an apple or a candle. If your focus drifts bring it back to the object. The thing to remember is that you can trust your instincts because it is a part of you.

It depends on what sort of meditation you're after. If you're going for a total-being-present-awareness, then letting all thoughts be gone is your objective, or at least being aware and recognising your thoughts, but ultimately to nevermind about them. This I think is the typical no-thoughts quiet meditation. If you're going for guides/higher self, then as Erin said in one of her blogposts (please look it up), going for entire quiet meditative state is not ideal. What you're to do is, I think, let thoughts come and go and when you recognise it's (slightly) different from yours, engage in conversation (hence not quiet). For either, guided meditation is probably the best tool when starting. I assume you're starting 'cause you're falling asleep. Another thing is to do it after you wake up or after a nap. I find myself falling asleep when meditating when I'm tired. Falling asleep while meditating is very common. What Andrea Hess (psychic) said most helpful: it's your undisciplined brain trying to get out of it. Also, aim for 5 min a day (Andrea Hess' youtube on meditation). Just that. |

If you notice some of the weird positions that meditators are pictured in, there is a purpose to those mudras (hand positions) and asanas (body postures.) They force you to maintain a physical position that keeps you from falling asleep. As far as intuitive ability, if you separate out the people that couldn't be introspective if they were given a million dollars as a reward to do so, that's about 30% of the population. Then if you weed out the ones who are so hard-assed in life that they have to have everything proven to them, that's at least another 30%. Then there are the fluff balls who are so superficial that all they care about is their outfit, the car they drive and the watch they wear, that's at least another huge bunch. What you are left with are the people that have a chance to develop their intuitive skills. Of them, there will probably be some that just ignore their intutions as brain noise or, in all fairness, probably just are having the time of their lives and don't need any guidance. I find intuition happens no matter what I am doing or what is going on. Meditation actually offers me less insight than just moving through life. But you can't have a limiting belief that meditation is the only way to pry loose your intuitions.... Jennifer |
