instinctive listening

My intuition is strong, about people, who is gonna call, visit, who needs me, even subtle shifts in the weather. I trust it every time. I know when I'm gonna get the job I apply for. When certain people come into my life. I'm also attuned to people's feelings. and can sense negativity from people or other feelings. Strongest one I had was about a friend. I was alone in my flat and an overpowering feeling that she was in danger came upon me. I ran the mile to the flat just as the ambulance was pulling away. Her partner had viciously attacked her. I had tuned into her fear. Even times when natural disasters happen, I get feelings of fear and dread a few days beforehand, but not specific.

Gut Instincts Keep You Safe

In the past I have always ignored my gut instincts and every time I have got into serious danger, especially with relationships i.e knowing there is something wrong about the man I'm about to date but I fancy him so I ignore the instincts. Because of that I ended up in a very violent marriage that destroyed me and my children. Because I would not listen to my instincts to start with and just listened to my desire of the physical type this has really strengthened since. I have met potentail relationships and I can with such force really pick out the dangerous personalities to the more kind genuine ones and I have been right every time. My psychologist who treated me after the trauma fom my violent ex-husband said my instincts have got immense and strong and this is often the case with trauma victims. Instincts are there to protect you so please if you have the icky feeling abouth that potential mate trust it. Only follow the feeling inside that feels safe at that time. Always be safe.

I know what will happen

Sometimes I just know for sure that something is about to go wrong. And it does, each and every single time. When I get mad at somebody, something bad happens to them, again every single time. I never wish it on a person - it just happens. I also get very negative feelings when introduced to certain people. I don't know them and I've never met them before, but these people always tend to turn out to be negative in some way or another. I'd love to be able to develop my sixth sense more, but from what I've learned through personal experience is to always trust my instincts.

Instinctively Knew Something Was Wrong

This happened several years ago. I was taking a late afternoon bath. My bath time is sacred to me. It is a time when I can relax and let the warm healing waters release any stresses. I hadn't been soaking for more than a few minutes when I got this very "sick feeling" in my stomach. I climbed out of the tub, wrapped myself in the towel and slowly made my way into the bedroom. I sat on the edge of my bed feeling more and more sick. I knew something wasn't right. My mind was in a swirl of confusion. I felt I was needed to be somewhere but had no clue where. Then the doorbell rang. I heard my husband answer the door. He soon hollered up the stairs for me to come quickly. It was the neighbor boy reporting that our 13 year old daughter who had been riding her bicycle down the street had been hit by a car. I threw on some clothes and went flying out the door. I got to her in time to ride with her in the ambulance to the hospital. She had bumped her head and had also broken her arm.

Didn't Feel Right

My girlfriend came over to introduce me to her new boyfriend, I didn't feel right when he was here. My plants were falling over on to the floor which I thought that was strange. Finally he left. Later found out he had escaped from a mental ward! So, I saved my friend's life.

Following my Instincts about People

There have been a few people in my life that when I met them, I had a very negative reaction to them for no apparent reason. In each case, the person ended up being someone who caused me trouble in one way or another. I always follow my gut instincts and am wary about people who make my "spidey" senses tingle!
