singing hey jealousy before it plays on the radio

Driving with my son. He starts singing an old song, 'Hey Jealousy.' Seemingly randomly.

A few minutes later, the song 'Hey Jealousy' plays on the radio. Chad remarks, "I was just singing that!" He looks at me with his jaw dropped open. He doesn't think it is a coincidence.

"Yup. Interesting how that happens, eh. When we have a synchronicity like that, it is just a way for our intuition to get our attention. Something about that song has meaning for you. And, hello, you are soooo psychic. Why are you surprised!?! Giggle."

We had been talking the last few days about a challenge with another person. And I think jealousy makes perfect sense. I think the insight is helping him see how the other person is hurting. Hopefully the next precognitive song suggests actions.

Songs can be a great way for intuition to get our attention. Ask for intuitive guidance, be open to it through song. I bet it's happened for a lot of you, too?? What songs or situations?

it's just not ripe yet

I noticed a few people a bit mixed up by something they saw intuitively that is coming but not here yet. They didn't realize what they were sensing isn't quite ripe. Want to know how I tell the difference?

I noticed three people had each tuned into something that is coming. In one case, someone tuned into changing jobs and was excited (and couldn't wait). Another tuned into a death coming. Another noticed a possible long-term challenge with a boyfriend. However, they were feeling unsettled with these insights, wanting to act and not feeling ready or sure. In each case, I could tell the energy was true, but the idea wasn't quite RIPE yet and they were thinking it was ripe and acting as if they had to deal with eating the fruit today (rather than working with the seed until it is ripe). It wasn't that they weren't ready or weren't courageous...they were each ready to follow their intuitions...but it simply wasn't time yet.

While the intuition may be true, the intuition was showing something still in seed form, an early form of the energy that needs to be watered, lived, experienced as is, as a seed...not acted on as if it is currently in full bloom. Right now, prepare.

For example, the one who can feel the new job and a shift coming, doesn't mean she has to quit today. Now she can get things in order to make the new job a-go. When the time is ripe to quit, it will be even clearer. That's why she felt confused about quitting, now...the seed is there, she can feel it...but it isn't ripe yet. So what great intuition...act now to prepare for the harvest/change/new job.

So for clarity, when you get an intuitive 'hit' on something, ask yourself...
What stage is this energy in?
Is this ripe? Is it time to act/eat/enjoy/experience now?
Or is it time to nourish this energy? What guidance is there FOR NOW with this insight?

Hints to notice ripeness/readiness/presence & timing of energy:
Everything is energy and has a vibration. I read energy. That's what I do. So check the vibe. Symbolically feel the energy. Energy that is ripe to me feels (or looks/sounds/is) bigger, bolder, steadier, closer, more solid, more present, more dense and touchable, juicier, tender, ready! Energy that is not ripe feels further away, more mushy, hazier, smaller, more ethereal...not here yet... Practically, ask your intuition to notice the ripeness of the intuition...try it on, feel it.

Also, I often see it to the right of me or in front of me (like down a timeline) when it is coming, and to the left of me or behind me if it already happened.

Additionally, when I get an intuitive hit, I also always tune into what the guidance is FOR NOW. What actions (internally or externally) make sense for me now, given this insight. That also can help understand the timing of the intuition.

Organizing intuition
Analogies and symbolic thinking like this help me organize and get detail to make more meaning and practical application of intuitions. It focuses me on the present moment. Intuitive predictions can be helpful, or not, depending on how you use and interpret the energy. Your intuition guides you to choices to make for now, to be present fully, to live freely, now. One of the biggest obstacles I see to people using intuition is not finding a way to organize it or not intentionally asking for specifics. Stretch the muscle...organize. Even something as breadcrumb and 'flash-like' as intuition can be organized.

What types of organization do you use or have questions about?

guest post: a non-BSG but still savored moment

This guest post brought to you by SuperMel. Few can twist a word or story to truth with humor like she can.

---

Thanks to Meredith for inviting me to write a guest post on anything I wanted except for Battlestar Galactica. So here's a story about friends and intuition.

Some of the best moments happen when I listen to the inner voice that quietly nudges me in the right direction. Doesn't have to be anything major, just moments I savor even years later.

My friend Mary and I were tight. Partners in crime, Thelma and Louise, you get the picture. Mary lived in the city and I lived in suburbia, which made it difficult to get together and wreak havoc. One day, unbeknownst to Mary, I happened to be headed downtown for a meeting.

Suddenly I thought, "Hmm, I should stop by Mary's beforehand." So I got off the Metro and took the back way towards her place. Suddenly, I see Mary running down the sidewalk towards me, saying, "SuperMel!SuperMel!" and waving a City Paper in her hand. She had seen her ex-boyfriend's personal ad in the City Paper and was Having A Moment.

Something told her to take a walk towards Woodley Park.

I love that moment. What's yours?

since i met you i notice my own intuition in new ways

I've been working with a chiropractor the past six months and just adore her. She's helping me open up my whole spine, neck and chest. Today, she said, "Meredith, ever since I met you I've been really paying attention to my intuition. And you know, I'm really noticing so much more. I'm very intuitive. It's just so true that whatever we focus on we can develop."

She already knew she was intuitive. Now she's using it even more intentionally. A lot of people who I meet tell me later that they are much more intuitive now and trust themselves more. I seem to hold space for that. :) I simply share and love seeing the light on inside so I notice it in others.

It all comes down to intention and attention. Simply pay attention to it. Notice it. Ask questions.

"I intend to allow my intuition to guide me for my highest good in all areas of my life. I'm open to only the highly guidance for all concerned. I welcome it. I notice it."

• How can I be more intuitive?
• What stops my intuition?
  
• How does my intuition work?
• Where does intuition come from?
• What does my intuition suggest about ___________(specific topic or area of your life)?

Sometimes people simply don't think to ask these questions. I ask them all the time and that's why my tuning keeps refining. I pay attention. So can you.

What questions/intentions have you/will you use to strengthen your intuition?

buttons, buttons...who pushed my buttons!?

Are there some people, especially those closest to you, who can just push your buttons...rather, your buttons just go haywire around them at times? Uh, yeah. Got that going on.

Actually, the buttons kinda implode and crack and spew...they don't just push. Just being honest.

I've been watching myself closely in these button launching moments as of late. I'm watching them like a bad movie that I should turn off but just don't seem to move to change the channel.

I mean, I dearly, deeply love and respect the person who witnesses (had to scratch out 'causes') the button fiasco happening...so...next time, I'll try "changing the channel "and just see what happens. As I go in the 'lovey' channel again, I can simply choose to button and unbutton without so much tension... I mean, so much about intuition is about being more aware, more perceptive, more conscious in my choices...so I like this analogy to notice, observe and choose to just change the channel.

I think I should name the channel just to make it more powerful. Higher Reasoning Channel. Channel Love. Channel 4 (mind-body-emotions-spirt..all working together). Open to suggestions....

check's in the mail...really

I get this sudden insight that I'm going to get a check in the mail. Okay, I wonder. Why would I get a check in the mail? Is that wishful thinking or actually going to happen? Doesn't seem like a gift, nor from anyone I know.

I chuckle to myself and the Universe that I'll happily accept checks in the mail. Then I think to myself, why not write the amount myself! So I make up a ridiculous number of zeros. And it occurs to me, "No, how about 100 or 200 dollars, just enought to justify to myself a little purchase I wanted to make." That'll work.

Well, guess what. In my mailbox the next day was a check for $169. My mortgage company sent back escrow overage for the year. I've had mortgages for 20 years and in the past that amount has never been sent to me in a check but applied to the next year.

Fun. I didn't manifest it coming, I just tuned into it coming. Now to manifest with zeros.

are you getting anything?

Just a regular conversation with a friend or family member, hey, hello, howareya. At some point, it's not uncommon for me to hear, "Are you getting anything on that?"

Sometimes I do. Sometimes I don't. Sometimes I don't want to, and let people know I'm not objective in this case. And I'm completely comfortable telling others no. I'm happy to help, but sometimes I just want to be 'off' and be a friend and not feel as if I always have to have wise insight for someone. And sometimes I feel that the emergency beeper I've committed to with the Universe (beep me when you need me, I'm available) was accidentally publicized by me.

There are a few people who've I've given blanket permission to always ask, any time. And who have given me blanket permission to always suggest. Making it more comfortable for us, clear about boundaries, and because it gives us both opportunities to explore things in new ways (something I wouldn't do with a client, for example).

What I don't want right now is to always feel 'on' .... free to be on and off at will. I'm curious how this will develop over the years. Perhaps it's just still a transition going from 9-5 to 24/7. I know that even with 24/7, I need my me time and I'm still exploring the best ways to carve that space.

got "snagged" by son's intuition

Intense that one was. My psychic son knew what was happening (totally snagged me) in a 'delicate' situation and called me out on it very directly with a question. If I'm not straight with him, I risk shutting his intuition down...that's a no-no...if I'm straight with him, oh, man, there's going to be some explaining to do. Is he really ready to know the truth about this topic?

"Yup, you're right on. That is what's happening." I tell him.

If he's old enough to get it intuitively, he's old enough to talk about it. So we did. Like it or not.

intuitive bonus or threat?

If I get a vision, insight or whatever about something related to my own life and another person, is it lording over the other person with an unfair advantage!? Is it okay if I'm right about the insight? Is it not okay if I'm wrong about the insight?
(Surely when people have an 'idea' it isn't always right either, so why should an intuition "have to be" right?...And sometimes the insight is about something somewhat negative, but truth even when not so positive can be of great assistance....but I digress...)

So if I notice something 'unseen' or that hasn't happened yet, does that give me an unfair advantage?

How about a situation in a relationship or partnership where one person is far more intelligent than another....should the intelligent one stop being intelligent to make the field more 'fair'?

If someone has previous experience in a work situation, for example, should the person withhold it so as not to threaten a colleague?

I'd say not.

So long, of course, as the intelligent (intuitive, experienced, whatever) person isn't manipulating, taking advantage of, condescending to, or trying to hurt the other, then having the ability in the partnership is a bonus. Right?

Or do I need to make it more of a bonus, a gift. I know sometimes I hesitate, don't want to interfere, and sometimes only share intuitions in more concerning areas. Is this occasional issue my own confidence in communication, or is it others' lack of confidence and desire to not have something be seen, for whatever reason?

I think I'll explore ways for it be a benefit to those around me in a non-intrusive way...like a bonus or a gift. And explore alternative ways to communicate intuitions, like...."My vibes say..." "I wonder if this could work for us?" "Do you think it would be interesting if we tried this?" "I have the sense this may be happening, do you have any thoughts or clarification on that?" "Let's invest in this stock :) "

Or perhaps I'll play a sarcastic act as Emma the Omniscient just to swing it another way and see what happens. Oh, wait, I've done that...oops...annoying. Or maybe sometimes I'll just go with the ignorance is bliss. Oh wait, I've done that....oops....can you say 'blind sighted'?

I'll stick with Bonus.

LEARN, LEARN...MORE, MORE!

Get more! Do more! Have more! Know more! Be better! Fix! Fix! Fix!

Learn! Acquire! Succeed! Master!

Such a fast paced life. It's everywhere. The soccer team must win! The participants at the six sensory playgroup must succeed! I must be a better intuitive and get more, more, more for my clients. Figure out and be a master at so many things.

Whoaaaaaaa. In comes my son. Just being. A nice model. Happy to do well, happy to explore, happy to just be, happy to relax, happy to learn, happy to wonder, happy, happy, happy. He isn't struggling. He isn't busy. He isn't overwhelmed. He isn't trying to master everything. His drive is more about experiencing what he wants and not being pushed by others. Even when he's learning, he tends to be more relaxed and curious and wonderous.

He's enjoying his experiences, rather than trying to be the best at them. What a concept to adapt into wisdom.

perhaps his foot is broken?

Soccer mom. Gooooaaaaaallll!!!

At the game a boy complains that his foot hurts and doesn't know why. He played in the game anyway.

I mentioned to his mom, "I wonder if he may have a small break in his foot. Might be worth having a doctor check out. Who knows."

Sure enough....it was broken.

I've made an agreement that I'm willing to be of service where I can without prying. Otherwise, the antennae's are down. It's nice to throw in little tips like that in a gentle way though. Hope he heals up quick now.

um, I changed my question

I was doing a reading for someone, after having already done about 8 readings. I was doing the reading blind, which means the person thinks of the question without telling me. I love that. Keeps me super focused on the energy I am sensing since I have no pre-conceived notions at all about the topic.

So I started reading, I started to get a sense of some energy but it was very vague and didn’t quite understand it yet, when suddenly it just.... disappeared...... I tried to focus, but couldn’t get it back. I thought perhaps I’d lost my train of thought from doing so many readings or something and said to the person, “hmm…now where were we…I lost track.”

She started laughing and said, “Um. Sorry. I just changed my question.” We both cracked up. All in a days work. I love my job.
