On the Subject of Intuition...

Last night I was having a computer dialog with one of my new friends. It was so much fun. We were talking about essential oils and how they are not all created equal. I got so excited that I ran in the bathroom (where I keep all my bottles of oils - 52 I think at this point) and put three in little sample bottles - lemon, grapefruit and peppermint. I then proceeded to email my friend that I had done so. She came back almost instantly with the cutest response, "holy cow. those are the EXACT three that i just looked at on the site [www.youngliving.com]. can you see me?! :) thank you, that is VERY exciting. " Was that intuition? serendipity? I don't know.

Ninety percent of the time when I'm looking for a patient's chart at work I put my hand on it first shot. Is that intuition? It's cool, no matter what. It saves me time at work when I trust my instincts.

I remember when I had my healing practice how hard it was for me to dowse. I think that works on intuition, when it works. I wasn't very good at it back then. I would ask a pendulum for answers to questions that were very emotional for me. The pendulum always told me what I wanted to hear. I couldn't detach from the outcome. How effective can you be if you can't detach from the outcome? I got all twisted up in my clients' pain. I could feel it. It made me all emotional. I think that's the biggest reason why I stopped doing the work. Maybe I can go back to it now, now that I can detach and trust my intuition.

I can see where intuition and enthusiasm can get all muddled up, wanting a particular outcome. I guess this is where trust in the "highest good" becomes essential... We don't know what is best for a person. Some people need the experience of pain to give them strength for something that is yet to come. Who am I, this loely human, to say that ridding a person of pain will make them all better?
