I have had these types of intuitive experiences many times, especially at work. I intuitively hear how to phrase sentences to prevent misunderstandings or provide clarity for certain issues. Or I intuitively feel when not to respond, though I want to hit the “reply” button. It avoids a chain of screaming emails.

My most profound intuitive experiences happen when I intuitively see information in emails that the sender didn’t type. I sensed his or her thoughts. For example, I emailed a colleague to see if he wanted to go to lunch on a Friday. He emailed me back stating that he had to leave early on that Friday, but didn’t say why. When I looked at his email again to delete it, I intuitively saw an inner vision flash in my mind’s eye. The vision showed the sentence: “I have to leave early to pick up my children.” I did a double take and his original words reappeared: “I have to leave early.”

Wanting validation, I emailed him and asked why he had to leave early. He phoned and stated that he had to pick up his two sons from a hospital. We laughed after I explained to him what had occurred. At that point, I realized I had to be careful of what is typed in emails versus what I sensed in emails, to avoid revealing people’s thoughts about personal matters.

I would love to hear about your intuitive experiences with emails.

I recall a time when my NJ flight arrived later than scheduled at PA’s airport. I doubted I would catch my flight back to GA. I intuitively heard my inner voice say, “You’ll make it.” I boarded a slow-moving shuttle bus driven from one terminal to another. I got off and ran to a third terminal toward my flight’s gate that felt as if was a mile away. Again, I intuitively heard my inner voice say, “You’ll make it. Keep running.” I reached the gate five minutes before flight attendants sealed the airplane door. My luggage made it, too.

I know, based on my own intuitive experiences, that our intuition communicates to us twenty-four hours a day, regardless of our situations. We just have to be aware of it. How about you?

Two main reasons why people ignore their intuition are doubt and fear. They doubt that the intuitive messages they receive are true or will come true. It could be routine information, such as your intuition whispering, “Watch where you step.” It’s protecting you from tripping over someone or something and suffering an injury. Or it could be lifesaving information, such as your intuition shouting, “Don’t get in the car with that driver!” It’s protecting you from a dangerous person looking to harm you or a good person whose careless driving will lead to a serious accident.

People also fear what their intuition communicates to them because it isn’t detected by their physical senses or it changes what they believe about people, places, and things–about themselves. For example, you believe a dear friend will help you take care of errands when you’re sick. Your intuition warns, ”They won’t call you or show up.” If they’ve always been there for you, you won’t believe it until it happens that way. The truth shall set you free and can make you miserable at the same time.

If this applies to you, why do you ignore your intuition?

Have you intuitively felt a resistance not to say or do something, in your daily living?

Has your intuition ever signaled a health crisis for you or someone else, before a doctor diagnosed it?

Have you ever intuitively felt a surge of energy when you felt tired and weak, but needed to accomplish a major goal or objective … or save someone’s life?

Recall if you ever had an intuitive experience cluing you to an error in a document you created.

On other occasions, I intuitively knew when drivers would speed up, as I entered an interstate, to prevent me from getting in front of them. Their first-lane arrogance was pointless, as I usually passed them a minute later.

Intuition shares your driver’s seat to help you avoid accidents that could lead to injuries. Pay attention to its intuitive messages, without letting logic and traffic appearances overrule it.

Massive job layoffs occurring in local, national, and international companies have led people to ask the question: How can I make a living when my job goes away? Listen to your intuition. It helps you sense when it’s “time” to change companies, relocate or train for better opportunities, or start your life’s mission.

I scanned through a real estate magazine and spotted a home I liked. I intuitively felt a strong feeling to cut out the image of that home, though I saw others. I did and glued it on my vision board. I bought a home four months later, and it looked like the one I glued on my board. 

What images and words does your intuition advise you to place on your vision board? Don’t be surprised, as your intuition knows your desires and dreams, even when you’re unsure or unaware.
