Strong Intuition? What is this?

[Andrew Michaels]

Over my life, I've always had good hunches when it comes to to reading people's moods. In fact, sometimes I've been able to predict a person's mood before seeing them or in any way being informed that they could possibly be in a negative mood by intuitively reading body language, etc.

The reason I mention this is that I seem to be getting better at doing this recently. For instance, I just recently started dating a girl who is going through a hard period with another relationship that's being wrapped up. She also gets stressed out by school, family, and work.

When she's in a bad mood, I always know, well before I see her or talk to her. For instance, on Wednesday, I was supposed to meet her in the afternoon. Whenever I thought of her or our meeting all morning, I just had this overwhelming sense of her being withdrawn/unhappy.

It's actually hard to describe, because my gut tells me that those are MY expectations/feelings for our meeting, when I know full well that that's not the case.

When we met, she was trying very hard to act like herself, but I still sensed that something wasn't right. I kept asking her about it, saying that I just get hunches about such things. She avoided it for awhile, saying that she was having a good time, but then came out with all this stress that she's been having, etc.

I've only ever experienced this with people that I'm very close to. Usually with girlfriends. Years ago I read about this yogic breathing technique where you kind of...breath in a person's essence, connecting them with you and making both of you more open. I do this quite often around said girl, and I certainly feel the link more strongly with her than anyone else. I don't really feel it for my family for instance, but did with my best friend of 14 years.

I'm not really one to believe that I could have "powers", but who knows. I did recently do Erin's chakra opening exercise, and I've been working on a lot of meditation/breathing exercises.

So, my question basically is, what is this? Is there any way that I can strengthen or refine this, or perhaps test it somehow?

Any advice welcome.

Also, I'm not sure if this is relevant, but I'm a very calm person, but when I'm in big groups, I always feel somewhat frayed, like maybe I'm kind of feeding off what everyone else is feeling. I especially feel this way when I'm working in an office.

Thanks.

Intuiton is one of the most powerful abilities we have. I highly reccomend the book Blink, to learn of the scientific backing behind human intuiton.

I feel that the best way to hone your intution is to learn to trust it more. I play a lot of poker, specifically No Limit Hold'em - when it comes down to it, that game is more intution than anything. You can paly for money or for free online.

What you're describing is clairsentience. The ability to feel information with a sense most people don't have. When you're around others it's empathy as well. You feel frayed because you're picking up on the emotions and feelings of the people around you. You can learn to close that off a little.

I'd be very interested in learning more. Is there some book or other source that I might look into for more information? Would it be better to just kind of grasp around till I find my way?

[Erin Pavlina]

John Holland's book, Psychic Navigator, might be a good start. Google "clairsentience" and "develop" or something and see if anything interesting comes up.

Also, I would just keep experimenting. Branch out, reach out, and also work on closing down so you're not bothered by multitudes of people.

Work with your chakras.

Thanks Erin. I'll look into the book and try a bit of reaching out.

Andrew,

This strong intuition that you have is something you can develop. I do believe that all people possess the ability to pick up on the electrical vibrations that our brains produce while thinking and feeling a certain way. WHen those feelings are strong of course the chances of you picking up on them are greater.

Myself, as a child and to the present day, I'm able to pickup on certain information that is in the air. Predicting or sensing people, their emotional states, discomforts and also their next actions and thoughts sometimes. somtimes of course there is nothing. But that's because I was thinking and not feeling.

I do believe that this ability is going to become a normal part of life for all humans, but until then for those who already know how it feels and what to look for, they have an advantage, and it is great!

FOr me, it really helps me in making business decisions. It's very easy to figure out the truths of people when you can feel their emotions. As for girlfriends, well my girlfriend doesnt want to explore too much about this ability and would like it if I think more. But I tell her that If I come up with the answer it could be wrong, but my intuition has never been wrong.

It has saved my life multiple times. I think I'd stick to this force.
The only trick is put your mind in a very blank state when you want to use your intuition instead of your own mind. Stop thinking.

Also I found out that the more information you stuff into your brain the more chances you have for your intuition to cook up an amazing thought or truths.

Just know one last thing, you intuition has been the force that has kept us alive since we were still walking on four (or six) feet. It's only been very recently (about 1million years) that the modern humans have been around, since our own thinking mind is still very young, our subconscious has been developing along side with instinct in fact it replaced it.

On another note...I have been seeking seeking for answers about this for years, my conclusions are that this ability exists in very few people.

I'm glad you came out with your message, cuz I know exactly what you're saying. Stay in touch please.

From last one year I started noting things i observe and felt using journaling and was noting on my mobile itself

What I found worked best for me was just grasping around! lol That sounds a bit more... futile than it was. I just trusted my gut more and more, started saying out loud what I was feeling. I also got reiki attunements - that really seemed to help open me up.

I had the same experience, that actually someone I was dating, I had a really clear, strong connection with. This was before I took the reiki classes, before I even thought about it as an ability. I could sometimes *see* what he was doing, as well - used to freak him out, when I'd ask about that run he took, etc., even though we lived 300 miles apart. I haven't experienced that since (haven't dated since either!), but I think it was just my openness during the whole falling-in-love stage. You know how things just *look* brighter during that time?

So now I think of opening myself in that way to it ALL. All of life, all of this moment.

So, yeah - just trusting myself more, offering to do readings for people even though I wasn't sure at all of being able to do that (I can!). Opening myself more, and trusting I'll be led to "the next right thing". That's how I met my reiki teacher.

PerDev, you might want to start a new thread with this question! You just "hijacked" this thread, which I know wasn't deliberate. Just click "new thread" when you're on the main page for psychic & paranormal.

Haha yeah. I'm a big fan of the Texas hold em as well. A good way to practice intuition. For me, it seems like some days I'll make all the right moves at the right time and other days I'll just get butchered. To be fair it is mostly luck, but you still have to know when you're beat and when you're not.
