You've all heard about intuition before. It
is the "gut instinct," the "feeling," the
"I just know what's going to happen!" A lot of times it is our intuition that guides us
whether we consciously know it or not. And, it can affect your psychic readings.
Intuition & Psychic Readings
If you have intuition or a "knowing" deep inside you of what is going to happen, try and
trust that, even if it is not what you want. People get psychic readings to "validate"
their feelings and intuition, to "find out" what is going on. If you already have an
idea of what is really going to happen, write it down on a piece of paper BEFORE you
call and get your next reading. If the reader gives you the OPPOSITE information, take a good
look at what you wrote about your intuition. Figure out if your intuition is just a "fear based"
nagging or if it is what you KNOW to be.
Unfortunately, psychics will give you the opposite answer to your intuition because you are
supposed to be LISTENING to your intuition. And the only way to get you to listen is to
contradict it so it speaks LOUDER to you. This does not mean psychics are lying to you, they
can only tell you what they see. But it does mean that you are not listening enough. For instance,
you "feel" that you are never going to end up with Joe, and you call five psychics and they
all say "Oh yes you will!" You might feel better for a little bit, but then your whole being
rejects what they say and says "Oh no you won't! I've already told you that!" So you call
more in hopes of hearing what fits with your intuition, and when you finally get a psychic
that says "no you won't" you feel it to be true, but then get upset because you WANT it so bad.
Remember, you might get the same circumstances from an enormous FEAR, and that is not your
intuition at all.
Intuition & Fear
Fear is something that loves to grow and fester in people. It can be bigger than life or
so small that it has no effect on you whatsoever. Fear can greatly hinder your intuition.
If you are fearful of a future outcome you will have a hard time HEARING your intuition.
Fear can also impair your judgment so that you do not even know that your feelings are
fear based.
Case 1: I was so afraid that a certain man in my life would not contact me if I walked
away from him. So at first, it kept me from walking away from a very unhealthy situation.
When I finally did walk away, I was not able to HEAR my own intuition about whether or not
he would come back into my life. My psychics all assured me that he would. At first I just
believed them. Then when nothing happened, I tried to let go. Then when more time passed I
got really pissed off and said "my intuition says he's not going to contact me, and all of you
are wrong!" He called me the very next day.
Case 2: Now, once he called, I had intuition that he was not there for a relationship, but for a
friendship. My psychics went back and forth and said "yes and no...this and that" but
it did not set right with me at all. And while I was a little afraid of his intentions, it
was not encompassing my thoughts. So when I found out he was seeing someone else and only wanted
friendship, I realized my intuition had been right...and that is why my psychics had such
a hard time reading it. Why did they have a hard time reading it? Because I already
knew!
Now, in both cases I felt very strongly that it was my intuition speaking to me. I would
have sworn on anything that I WAS RIGHT both times. But obviously I was wrong. The fear I had
been harboring for so long clouded my intuition in Case 1. But since I had been focusing just
on the initial contact and not on what would happen after that, the fear did not have time
to cloud my intuition in Case 2.
It is not easy to determine which is fear and which is intuition, especially when you are
going through it. The more emotionally detached you are from the situation, the easier
it is to hear your intuition. So ask yourself, am I just scared this will/will not happen?
Or am I feeling a tug of truth trying to get me to listen?
Intuition & Karma
Here's where it gets tricky. Sometime we just are not supposed to know what's going to happen.
If that's the case, your intuition and no psychic reading will unveil the truth before the
curtain is lifted. I like to look at these situations as karmic (something you are supposed to
go through). That does not mean karmic things cannot be predicted, but some things are
not meant to be known in advance. If that is the case, you might feel that your intuition is
jammed, on the fritz, uncooperative, giving you no answer or multiple contradicting answers.
Or it might just change its mind every few hours. No matter how it stalls on you, take note
that it is not working right and wait and see what happens.
Intuition Information
There are many good books on how to get in tune with your intuition more.
Here are two that
I have found very helpful.

Intuition FAQ
Is your intuition always right? No, based on the effects of fear and karma, it can
be misheard or misinterpreted.
My intuition told me to turn left instead of go straight, but I did not notice anything
unusual, what does this mean? Sometimes are intuition is guiding us to AVOID things,
and if you actually listen and AVOID whatever it was, you will not know because you AVOIDED it.
Other times you will know, many times I have jumped up unexpectedly and run out to come home to a
message on my machine from someone I did not want to talk to. My intuition told me to go, but it
did not tell me why.
My intuition is not giving me a straight answer, what do I do? Take the answer you
are getting and see what it means to you. If you are getting a confusing answer, then the
situation may actually be confusing. Also check to see if you are fearful of the outcome.
My intuition told me this person was "the one" and they left me and married someone else,
what happened? You intuition may have been right in the present moment, that person
was the one for you then, but not now. Make sure you ask specific questions.
Intuition & The Present Moment
Intuition thrives best in the present moment. While your intuition knows the path ahead, it
speaks to you in the existing moment. Sometimes your intuition has to lead you a certain
way to get you to do a series of things before the finale is revealed in entirety. You might
get intuition that the person you are dating is the one, however, you might not have the
relationship you want with them for two more years. So you might get the initial intuition as
"this is the one," and then in two months your intuition says "move on and date this other
guy." Following your intuition in the present moment is always the best route even if it
does contradict what it previously said. It is not logical and will not bend to your logically
ways no matter how much you beg and plead with it. It guides lovingly and guides in the present
moment.
Intuition & You
Intuition works a little differently for everyone. Figure out how it speaks to you. Do you
feel it, know it, taste it, sense it? For me, intuition is a strange knowing that usually
makes little sense to me. My favorite is when I decide to shave my upper leg for no reason
to find out I have a hot date later that night. But when I think, "oh I'm shaving me upper
leg, must mean I have a hot date tonight!" it usually does not happen. It only happens when
I just do it because I have a nagging feeling to do it.
Here are some typical ways intuition speaks:
Sense of Nagging (repetitive)
Sense of Feeling (gut or whole body)
Sense of Knowing (abstract or concrete)
Sense of Sensing (heightened awareness)
Sense of Foreboding (something looming ahead)
Sense of Nudging (feeling drawn/pulled to do something)
Find out how your intuition speaks to you. It may speak to you in many ways, but know that
it is always speaking to you. All you have to do is listen.
