The Problem With . . .Intuition
Hi ho, MMMLogerinos!
Most of us don't think we're intuitive or have any special extrasensory gifts, but I believe we all do have them to whatever degree we allow. The phone rings and you know who's calling before you pick it up, or something's come in the mail and you know because you've been suddenly thinking about it.
Interpretation is the problem.
You get those feelings or think those thoughts and don't really know what they mean. If you're a sensitive receiver you're getting stuff all the time, often as your own thoughts or feelings. And it sometimes takes years or a lifetime to sort out which is your own stuff from others. Then there's the problem of getting whatever message loud and clear, but projecting your own fears on it thus distorting it. Yar!
They say practice makes perfect. Great. I've got years of practice at this and I'm still getting it wrong if I allow my own stuff to color the information. If I'm emotionally invested in the outcome of whatever, then I misinterpret or overlay the information with my own wants and desires or fears. Case in point, I was at a national convention sitting with a friend who was up for two awards in a competition. There were many categories of awards and as the evening wore on just before the winner was announced I was able to name the winner in all but one case. In that particular instance I didn't think that individual deserved to win. Of course that person won. When my friend's categories came up, I was hopeful she'd win, but as the pictures of the nominees came on the screen, I said "Uh oh!" My friend freaked. I told her that she wasn't the winner and named the winner. And so it happened. She further freaked and almost yelled, "How are you doing this???" I was relaxed and in the flow, receiving. She won her final category. Of course I knew she was going to.
Since I've looked through a listing of nominees for a particular award and often picked the winner. And I let them know that I think they're going to win. And they do. And how do I do it? It's just a feeling, something different about a particular name or picture, I don't know exactly. When I'm successful in receiving, it's because I don't overthink it or rationalize. I go with the first impression. That's the trick.
