Trusting Your Own Intuition

By Rev. Juliet Nightingale

As we’ve entered the new millennium, the subject of spiritual awakening is being discussed and seriously thought about now. Many of us are probing on a deep level—through reading, meditation, prayer, etc.—in order to decipher just what all this means for us on a personal level as well as in the global community. All life on this planet is changing and we are becoming more spiritual, more aware and more attuned to our souls and the destiny we came to fulfil in this incarnation. This is a very significant step in the process of our evolution and, indeed, we are looking at big changes to come.

What does this mean for us as human beings? First, it means that we need to acknowledge some basic truths that have hitherto been thwarted due to religious, psychological and societal conditioning for centuries now—the fact that we are not five-sensory beings, but, rather, multi-sensory beings. “Reality” does not consist of merely what we can perceive on the physical plane. There is so much that exists in other dimensions that is beyond the perception and confines of the five physical senses. And it is important not to limit our understanding of “reality” by what we experience on the physical plane!

Let me give you an example of something so common that we all possess, but rarely give credence to. I don’t think there’s one person alive who hasn’t had a ‘hunch’ about something; and for those who have honoured their hunches, they’ve fared much better than if they’d not paid attention to and gone with their gut feelings. There may be no ‘tangible’ evidence to draw from on the physical plane, but your deeper Knowing guided you and protected you. It is on this level where you’ve got that direct link and communion with the Divine.

I cannot tell you how many times I’ve had clients tell me that they regretted whenever they’ve not listened to their intuition and followed it. I always praise the ones who do listen to and honour their intuition. Using your intuition can save you from an unpleasant or useless endeavour…or some disaster. It can even save your life or the life of someone you love!

Not only do we use our intuition for issues of decision making or gaining clarity on topics of concern; we also use it to communicate with others—or what is commonly referred to as telepathy. This is a little bit more difficult, because so many people still have a tendency to not trust their experiences when it comes to a two-way telepathic exchange.

This is especially true with relationship issues…and clients are so worried when they’ve not received a telephone call from a significant person in a few days…or whatever. People are so dependent on their partner or friend contacting them either by telephone or eMail, etc., in order to be assured that the person is even thinking about them. Some clients are nearly panic-stricken and desperate…if they don’t receive that coveted telephone call!

This is when I throw in that big question to them: “Have you been aware of that person in your space?”—more often than not, the answer being ‘yes’. Sadly, though, too many people still question the validity of their experiences and don’t trust them. They think they’re mere fancy, or imagination. “No,” I assure them. “It is not just your imagination; it is absolutely real!”

Let me give you an example: Haven’t you had the experience where someone will cross your mind and then you hear from that person? This is very typical of a telepathic exchange between two people. Another example is where you may start saying something and someone else finishes your sentence…or you both say the same thing at the same time!

People will ask me how I know it’s not just ‘wishful thinking’ that we experience someone else’s thoughts or presence in our space—especially when it comes to relationship matters. Most of the time the experience will happen when you’re not even focused on or thinking about the other person and sometimes it will. But it has got a special quality about it…and, if you remain open and just ‘listen’ to what comes to you, make a note of it and compare notes with that person at a later time. Chances are you will be right on target with what you experienced.

One time, while working here in my office, I suddenly became intensely aware of a friend of mine back in England. I wasn’t even focused on him, but he was so present in my space, I could even feel him standing next to me. He felt strong and triumphant and full of excitement. This has happened so many times over the years and has often been followed by a telephone call that very moment. Another time, I was carrying on a telepathic conversation with him at 4:00 in the morning, no less, and a moment later, the telephone rang and it was him—having just arrived in America! We’re both night owls!

At another point, I was aware of my daughter while getting my tea. The telephone rang a second later and, sure enough, it was she. But this doesn’t just happen with people who are close to me; it also happens with clients and associates as well. I’ll be aware of them and I hear from them either that same day or very soon thereafter. This is very real and it works for everyone—not just people who are psychic!

It is really important to have faith in our own intuition and also the messages that come to us through our dreams—especially if you want to be in contact with someone you care about. We tend to take all this modern technology for granted—the telephone, fax, eMail and so on; but there will be times when these physical devices aren’t always available to us…and we’ll have to make use of, and trust in that cosmic telephone or radar we all possess. Furthermore, it’s free and a lot more reliable and private than using the telephone or Internet!

I hope this will serve as a great source of encouragement for all who read these lines. This is especially true in a time where the veil is clearly being lifted...and we’ll be able to access and see into other dimensions without thinking it is merely science fiction. After all, what was hitherto thought of as fiction has fast become an understanding of the reality of our world and the universe on a deeper level.

So please take heart. Someone you care about is as close as your thoughts.
