Do you sometimes have that feeling that something is about to happen and then find that it really does?

Intuition is something we all get. When you feel strongly about something without reason, it’s called intuition. Intuition is that feeling of knowing what to do, or knowing something and it can come in forms of sensing things, clairvoyance or clairaudience.

Clairvoyance is when you see things with your mind’s eye and typically you will know something is happening or something will happen.  Sensing clearly is basically what is referred to as “hunch” or “gut feel”. This is the time when you are overwhelmed with a feeling and you can’t explain it, all you can say is “I just know”.

Clairaudience is being able to “listen” between the lines.  Sometimes, a certain sound (like a bird call, a whistle being blown, a train engine) creates an intense feeling of ‘knowing’ something.

Some people say only a number of people are gifted with intuition, but I don’t think this is true.  I think that everyone has intuition but not everyone knows how to “tap in to it” or may have even learned to ignore their intuition.

Intuition promotes good communication. It makes you more sensitive to the people around you; it often keeps you from hurting those you love because you are intuitive enough to understand them. Intuition aids your creativity and may also provide a healing power.  This healing power is not in the physical sense, but allows you to look deep into your soul to remove negative energy that may be buried there.

My Mum has an intuition around business and technical things.  By listening to what others are describing, my Mum can often ‘reach the heart of a matter’ and help others achieve success.  I’ve seen her do this a heap of times – and it amazes a lot of people.  When we ask Mum, ‘how did you know to ask that question’ she will often say she doesn’t know why, just that it seemed to be the right question to ask then and there.  Some will say that Mum just listens well, but listening well is part of being intuitive.

Some ways to unlock this your intuitive powers are:

1. Hypnosis

Hypnosis is not limited to watching a pendulum move back and forth. A self-hypnosis can be made or you can get a hypnotic program or audio that can strengthen your intuition.  By placing yourself in a hypnotic state, you can help your subconscious release any blocks that may be in place.

2. Meditation

Meditating means finding peace in yourself. Sometimes, people confuse Hypnosis and Meditation – but they are different.  If your mind and heart are cluttered with too much hurt, sorrow or is just simply ‘to busy’, you won’t be able to hear (or even sense) that part of you that is intuitive. There are so many ways to meditate: take a yoga class, or just simply practice some relaxed deep breathing with a clear mind.  Sometimes, sitting quietly under that beautiful tree in the backyard and just being still is a great meditation.

3. Think positive!

A worry-free and fear-free state could do so much to improve your intuitive ability. By staying positive, you attract good energy that would be able to easily recognize pending feelings and events.  Staying positive includes letting go of the negative thoughts around people and things and just accepting them for what they are.  If you think badly about someone, this will eventually find it’s way to your subconscious and may block your intuition.

4.  Just let go.

If you are on the brink of making a decision, let go of all the inhibitions, head to a peaceful and quiet place and just be still!  You may be amazed at what you ‘hear’ when you do this – make sure that you listen to the voice within you.

Intuition is helpful, because sometimes it leads you to something that cannot otherwise be achieved. A lot of lives have been saved by intuition alone and you will find your decisions are easier done if armed by this gift. Develop intuition now and let benefits you have never imagined come to you.

            Have you ever been in a situation and had the uncanny feeling that you had already experienced it? Maybe you were driving past a traffic accident and felt like you had seen the incident before or maybe you met someone at a party for the first time but you could have swore that the introduction had already taken place. Most of us have had a similar incident at least once.

            This repetitive feeling of familiarity is defined as déjà vu and studies indicate that at least 70 percent of people admit to having it.

            Déjà vu is often described as a feeling of repetition or familiarity. Sometimes it is accompanied by an eerie strangeness. The word déjà vu is French and means “already seen” and was first used by psychic researcher Emile Boirac. But many people have experienced this phenomenon. And scientists have come up with more than 40 different explanations for this phenomena ranging from faulty memory, reincarnation and psychic activity to symptoms of mental illness.

            Many people may confuse the experience of déjà vu with precognitive experiences or an experience in which someone gets the feeling that they know what is going to happen next. Déjà vu occurs while the incident is happening and not before. However, some theorists believe that déjà vu is the remembrance of a precognitive dream. From this stand point the feeling of déjà vu is the real time version of a precognitive dream.

            Other explanations of déjà vu include memory glitches. According to Dutch psychiatrist Hermon Sno memories are similar to holograms. He asserts that you can recreate a entire three-dimensional image from a small piece of the puzzle. However, the smaller the fragment the fuzzier or the harder it is to see the entire image. From Sno’s perspective people may experience déjà vu when they encounter something similar to a memory that is very hard to recall. For example you may be at a party and be introduced to a young woman named Mary wearing a yellow sweater. You feel déjà vu and can’t explain why. Sno’s theory would assert that possibly you met a girl named Meredith wearing a yellow sweater in previous years. This is generally referred to as the hologram theory.

            Some scientists believe that déjà vu has more to do with the way the brain stores information that old and unclear memories. Robert Efron tested Veterans in 1963 and proposed that a delayed neurological response is the real cause of déjà vu. He said that the part of the brain responsible for sorting incoming information may process the information twice due to a glitch in-between the two sides of the brain. According to his theory the brain processes the information twice normally, once on the right side and once on the left.

            Despite the many ways that scientists have tried to explain déjà vu as a physical occurrence there is no concrete evidence that this is not a psychic phenomena.
