She Shares Sixth Sense By The Seashore

A young woman came into my office the other day. When I pulled out my tarot cards, she said with great disappointment,  “Oh. You’re a card reader. I thought you were a psychic and would just tell me things.”  Sometimes a client will expect me to be able to see ghosts and auras, talk to the dead, read their mind and/or play some strange guessing game with them. Although I have been able to do those feats at times,  I make no great claims to be anything other than a simple card reader.

I always say that “anyone can learn to read cards” but to be honest, if you don’t have a good grasp on your sixth sense, it may not work quite as well. I compare it to a musician who can play an instrument but has no passion for the music.  So although I claim to “just” read cards, the truth is, I am reading energy or vibes at the same time I am looking at those cards.

I’ve always had a highly developed intuition although I didn’t understand it  when I was young.  I just knew that I saw things differently.  Strange dreams, contact with spirits and “knowing” something was going to happen were common occurrences for me.  I naively assumed that everyone had these experiences.  As I got a little older, I kept my mouth shut about these things because some people made me feel that I was “weird”.  As I look back on that, I have to laugh because that very thing that set me apart and made me feel “different” has been such an important part of my journey and a blessing as well.

Life lessons taught me that intuition serves an important purpose.  Many times, I did not listen to that inner voice – and I suffered the consequences.  Other times, I would follow my gut and things would flow beautifully.  We all have this ability within us.  I am not special just because I use it for my living.  In fact, many police officers would tell you that they rely on it too.  If we all learned to trust our instinctual nature more, perhaps we could live more enlightened lives. Or at the very least, make wiser decisions.

Now – let me share a few of my favorite stories about psychic experiences with you.

1. The intuition runs in my family strong.  My Irish grandmother had keen perception and was a very superstitious woman.  One morning, she was sitting in her favorite chair and she saw an image of a man, dressed in work clothes standing before her. She called out to him but he disappeared.  At the time, she lived with her son, Frances. When he came down the stairs, she told him not to go to work.  Later in the day, she got the news that her other son was killed at work.

2.  When I lived in New York, there was a very handsome man that used to flirt with me.  Technically, he was my “type” but something seemed “off”, so I demurred his advances.  We did become friends but I always kept my distance.  A few months later, he was arrested for murdering his girlfriend.  I’ll spare you the gruesome details but I thanked spirit for looking out for me.

3.  A few years ago, my mother was ill in the hospital.  This was common as she was a very sick woman for as long as I can remember.  The doctor visited with her and made the statement that she had about a year to live.  I asked him, what that meant (I like details) and he said “I don’t have a crystal ball but her heart is failing and she has maybe a year”.  That night, I was walking with my husband and I felt a sensation like someone sawing my umbilical cord. I said out loud “She doesn’t have a year.  She’s dying now.” She had a stroke that night and died three days later.

As you can see, intuition can play a part in many aspect of our lives. It can warn, it can confirm, it can prepare. How does your intution serve you?
