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?

coin flip for guidance

Client: "Should I leave VA and move to LA? My boyfriend is there."

Answer: got nothing. big nothing. no hints. no tips. no nothing.

My wording of her question: "What guidance, for her highest good, is there about her moving to LA? What will help her make the decision about moving?"

Answer. I see a matrix and ask if she has a comprehensive list of pros and cons around this decision. She confirms. I mention the criteria don't weigh evenly making for tough analysis. Though a worthwhile effort, it isn't really working, eh. This decision is meant for the heart, not the head.

My question to client: "What does your heart want?"

Client: "I have no idea! It's all jumbled up!"

My question for intuitive guidance: "How can I assist?"

Answer. Coin.

My internal response. Excuse me? She's come for spiritual guidance and I ought to suggest she flip a coin? Breathe. Coin again. Breathe. Yup. Coin. Okay. Here goes.

My guidance to client. "As you have discovered, there are many opportunities and concerns with both choices. There are no guarantees. You've considered the alternatives if the relationship doesn't work out. Really, what you need is simply a decision.... Let's flip a coin and be done with it. Heads you go. Tails you stay. FLIP.

Client: She jumps out of her seat and screeeaaaammmmssss..."HEADS!! HEADS!!!! Well...is it heads!!??? Is it??"

The realization. I look at her dearly, deeply, with a mischievous grin. "Does it matter? I think we both know what you want now."

Her eyes widen. Tears of relief flow. And out comes her desire. "Yes. I sooo soooo soooo want to go. I guess I'm just scared of what will happen." We hug. That was interesting.

But there's more. Then...all of sudden I sense more guidance about to come. I reach for a card. Flip the card. The title on the card is, "Go For It!" We both crack up. Then 10 minutes of details come about the relationship, the move, the timing and how she can best realize her potential in this situation.

My intention is to empower. I could have seen the move earlier and just told her to move. But she wouldn't have been fulfilled by having some psychic tell her to go. She needed to make the decision on her own. I am simply a facilitator for her spirit to move freely. I won't see beyond what is best for anyone. How lovely.

You know when it is time to know. I get messages when they are relevant. Not sooner. Even if I want them! I must trust what I get when I get it. Share it. That's it. If there's more we want to know, it'll come when it is appropriate, intuitively or otherwise.

She moved. They married. Living happily for years now.

Oh. And we never did look at what side the coin landed on.

they're both right

A client is working out some intricacies of intuition.

"Why did my vibes say to date him and that this is good?" And "Why did my vibes say he isn't right for me?" I was wrong.

AHHHH...but they were both right. Nice job.
It was good to date him. MUCH came from the experience.
And it's good to not date him forever. For many of the reasons she intuited and experienced, he isn't a good long-term match for her.
Start thinking of vibes as getting information about the essence of a situation, self, person. Then use the information to make a decision.

Stop thinking of it as getting the RIGHT answer. Stop waiting to be told what to do.

Just need to know what you need to know for right now. No more. No less.

Motto as of late: For now.
