I definitely put credibility into that feeling called intuition. In many instances, the gut has told me what direction I should take. And I think most people know those subtle whispers exist, but because of various reasons, other people, circumstances, etc. they often choose the practical route (which may not be what their intuition dictates).

Well, my goodness, after I read this, I had to zip up top just to refresh my brain that yes, I WAS on Belinda’s Blog. Belinda my poet friend, who obviously has one super analytical, scientifical and philosophical mind too! (Okay scientifical’s not really a word.) But I’m impressed at the scope of your mind.

And just for the record, I believe the best poems, ARE scientifical how we are enmeshed with them, at cellular level, as we are with music.

Yes, yes, yes I listen to my intuition. And when I don’t I end up out of harmony.

And good on your mentor validating your intuition! You are both smart.

I adore this post. In an age when we worship the checklist and subject ourselves to endless streams of data, all too often we don’t listen to the little voice inside which is the ultimate arbiter of common sense.

Not wishful thinking. Common sense – developed as the result of age, experience, perspective, and a certain je ne sais quoi that many of us have and we can all learn to nurture.

For parents, it’s certainly the parental GPS. And for everyone else, I believe it is indeed that physical sensation of knowing that is better than any set of criteria, graphic, or other so-called proof.

When the issue is really big and important, I definitely trust my intuition.

I have learned to trust my intuition when it comes to people. There have been people I’ve been introduced to that for not logical reason I just don’t like and/or trust. There have been times in the past where I’ve dismissed my intuition to not trust a person and I’ve always eventually been proven right. Now, when I have that sense, I just stay away even if there is no logical reason to do so.

I think some people are just more in tune and that’s why they have and listen to their intuition.

Belinda,
I believe in intuition . When my son was eight, we were invited to a pool party by my cousin. I had a feeling not to go and I went against it. Someone hit my son by accident and he went under. His eyebrow line busted open and he was bleeding. He needed stitches at the hospital. We were lucky because it only takes a minute for a disaster to happen. This is one example. I try to listen to my intuition because anytime that I have not, I end realizing that I should of.

Belinda,

A well-timed post for me. I recently experience a crisis that both validated my intuition, even as it showed how I didn’t trust it. Two years ago, I made a decision that went against my intuition and now has come back to haunt me.

Still, it also teaches me. When I listen to my intuition, I seldom make mistakes. The key for me seems to be knowing when it’s the intuitive voice speaking. The hardest thing I experience is trying to put my intuitive thoughts into words. It isn’t to explain an intuitive feeling.

I remember once I felt something wasn’t right with my youngest daughter. She was a canoe trip with her boyfriend. I bugged her dad to call the canoe place and see if they had returned. They had not and were overdue. To make a long story short, it turned out she was in trouble. They’d had a sudden lightning storm while canoeing, but had found shelter in a home off the river. Eventually, she called us. Once again, it taught me to pay attention to that “feeling” or “little voice.”

Thanks for this post.
