Listened to Your Body Lately?

Have You Listened to Your Body Lately? by Johanna Putnoi

by Johanna Putnoi.

Can you remember a time when your stomach knotted up in fear, your heart raced before an exciting challenge, you intuitively moved closer to a new love? Can you recall how your mind interpreted what your body felt?

What Is Your True Nature?

What Is Your True Nature? article by Rob Preece.by Rob Preece.

When we begin to explore the nature of the mind we will inevitably encounter the wild and uncontrollable aspects of our normal, some­what overcrowded, habitual mind. Only with guidance and skillful practice will we begin to recognize that the mind has an undercurrent of clarity and luminosity that is...

Spider Solitaire & Intuition

Graphic for article by Marie T. Russell: Spider Solitaire & Intuition

by Marie T. Russell.

Oftentimes, we hesitate using our intuition because of the "risk" of being wrong. What if the "voice" we're hearing, or the hunch we're getting is wrong? In some situations, as in chemo or not chemo, operation or not operation, change jobs or not, divorce or not, it's a "life-threatening" or life-altering choice. However, if...

Ways to Increase Your Clairsentience

Doreen Virtue, author of the article: Ways to Increase Your Clairsentience

by Doreen Virtue.

Some people are naturally oriented toward picking up the kinds of messages that come as emotions, gut feelings, hunches, and intuitions. This is especially true if you are sensitive to emotions in yourself and others. Yet everyone can become even more attuned to...

Learning to Trust Yourself

Deborah King, author of the article: Learning to Trust Yourself

by Deborah King.

Another big stumbling block along the path to shamanhood involves your ability to trust yourself and the process, even while undergoing experiences... [which] may not be pleasant, yet could be very necessary for your growth. Becoming your own shaman requires lots of trust, but not blind faith. You have to trust your...

What is Luck? Coincidences & Synchronicities

Goldfish graphic from the article:Coincidences & Synchronicities by Marie T. Russellby Marie T. Russell.

I love how the Universe (a.k.a. God, Creator, Divine, etc.) works. Things just work out sometimes amazingly perfect. Actually, I don't know why it's amazing, other than we've been brainwashed (trained) to expect the worst instead of...

Testing and Validation

Mary Ann Morgan

One of my children brought to my attention a TV program that he was watching. On the program, a scientist was testing individuals who had gifts similar to mine. My child said, "Mommy, you need to call that man so you can help him with those studies. "As a mother who believes in the intuitive capabilities of her children, I...

Communicating with Animals

Marta Williams, author of the article: Communicating with Animals

by Marta Williams.

Animals are always trying to get through to us. They are constantly sending us intuitive messages that we aren't aware of. However, in spite of ourselves, some of those messages are getting through. When you think your dog might need some water, and you check and find the bowl is empty, chances are...

A Gift from Christmas Angels

by Kimberly Ripley.

I usually made myself crazy with the holidays and had vowed to simplify that year. I had done my best to stick to my promise, and by the Saturday two weeks before Christmas, I felt that I really had a handle on my holiday preparations. Gifts had been...

The Power of Imagination

Robert Moss, author of the article: The Power of Imagination

by Robert Moss.

When have you said to yourself, "It's only my imagination"? I've said it at a moment of strong intuition — intuition that subsequently proved to be correct — that lacked supporting evidence in the moment. I've also said it when I've had a glimpse of a wonderful future — and then betrayed that vision by diverting my energy to listing all the reasons it cannot be. When we dismiss imagination, we...

Nancy C. Pohle

Ellen L. SeloverOur physical senses -- hearing, sight, taste, smell, and touch -- are powerful receptors, able to retrieve immense amounts of information every second. They send signals through the nervous system to the brain, which then processes and...

From Questions to Insights

by Lynda Dahl and Cathleen Kaelyn.

Lynda Dahl and Cathleen KaelynYears ago I was struck by what I recognized as a similar thread woven through many of my friends' psyches. The thread reflected an underlying sadness that life hadn't worked out the way they'd hoped, that there was so much they had to offer that never found the right time or circumstances, that life...

Being a Closet-Intuitive

Sarvananda Bluestone, Ph.Dby Sarvananda Bluestone, Ph.D.

Today we have come a long distance from standing in the jungle and tuning in to the presence of a saber-toothed tiger. Yet even in our modern, technological world, we still tune in to our surroundings. Our psychic ability is as much a part of us as our intellect.
