I’ve realised that often the song that’s playing in my head indicates my emotional state

Which is kinda funny really, I’ll be sitting there chugging away with some relatively mundane task and notice a sunny song has been playing internally for the past ten minutes

Then comes the realisation; “I must actually be enjoying this!”

Also the lesson of laughter has proven to be very potent as well, it’s a lot more fun to laugh at absurd targets or impossible tasks at work than to clam up inside and take them seriously

I have found that in matters of life or death, intuition comes across so strongly that there is no thought of doing anything but acting on it.

I was a nurse for 25 years. Twice while I was in charge of the ward I got a strong feeling that something was terribly wrong with a patient who looked fine, but when asked said they felt a little tired. I got the houseman (resident in America) to exzamine them and each time they could find nothing wrong, but when I next came back on duty the patient was dead. I never thought of it as intuition,but put it down to good observational skills.

Twenty years later when teaching nursing, I was talking to one student about a patient and about 30 feet behind her I could see another (excellent) student in the med room obviosly put a medication into an IV bag. I could not see what the med was or how much she was drawing up. Without even thinking I said to the student I was with “Excuse me I’ll be back in a minutre” and walked across to see waht the other student was doing. She had taken thr wrong concentration of the medication from the cupboard so was putting ten times the ordered dose into the bag. It would have killed the patient.

So I have no concerns that I will miss important life or death intuitive hits, but it is the still small voice I often wonder about. I think that your suggestion of just noticing is good. Often we are getting an intuitive hit but we misinterpret what it means, then doubt our intuition. So noticing everything – the channel the hit came through, what we expeienced, what we thought or felt about it, what the outcome was, and whether there was an obvious misinterpretation – can help build up an internal database that will assist us to later be more confident in acting on intuition.

I think too that not double-guessing ourselve is important. Act on the first thing that comes through (if not dangerous, financially irresponsible, or demeaning to someone else) and see what happens.

Since beginning my psychic development, I’ve noticed my hearing, since I’m clairaudient, to be much more sensitive. I keep contact with my guides and higher self, and have been quadruple checking what they say. eg, “You will meet someone called [guide's name] in a few days.” And I’ll go, “Wait, are you sure? Can you repeat that?” Just to be sure it’s not my ego.

Very true about noticing the ‘real’ life. I think validations from my guides have slipped past me because I’m not sensitive/present enough. Then on hindsight, I’d wonder if that was a validation.

What do you think about ‘synchronicities’ such as looking up and seeing a literal sign, a billboard?

Thanks for this.
