Gut Feeling Gift

I have a gift to tell when something is going on with my family. I also know when something good or bad is gonna happen.

What's Behind Your Belly Button?

A new titled "What's Behind Your Belly Button?" available on Amazon is worth a read if you want to really understand your gut feelings.

an accident not avoided

Some 20 years ago I was on the motorway with my Ex-husband. Suddenly I got that really urgent feeling that we need to get off that motorway. I told him, but he just laughed it off. A minute later we reached the end of a traffic jam. We stopped just behind a van, but the car behind us did not see and crashed into us. Only the fast reaction of my ex who turned the steering wheel around and our car was moved along instead of under the van. Well, better he would have listened to me in the first place :-)

Awesome Feeling

I was on my lunch hour and wanted to buy a Christmas gift for my son's girlfriend. But, I decided rather than going shopping I would drop off the coats for kids that I had in my car at the Salvation Army. As I arrived, there was a lone girl sitting on the steps freezing (it was about 40 degrees out). She had no coat on. I asked if she had a coat to which she replied no. I had one woman's coat in the bag which fit her perfectly! I think I was supposed to be there - that day at that time to help someone who needed me. It was an awesome feeling. I only wish I could have done more.

temporal lobe epilepsy and ESP

Some of you might want to look this up. There are a number of studies showing a link between temporal lobe epilepsy and ESP. We're talking University funded projects and peer reviewed papers and publications. I had temporal lobe epilepsy as a child. The seizures stopped when I was 7, then the precognitive dreams began. My strongest ability is precognition and to a lesser extent telepathy. People might also want to research the fact that ESP runs in families and appears to be an inherited trait. It runs on both sides of my family along with epilepsy.

My gut feeling is always right

I've just finished reading your "Gut Feeling" article which I found interesting. I have found over time that my gut feeling is always right. If I don't listen to it, I'm usually regretting it. Thank you for a wonderful site. I wish you abundant success on your life path.

Harrassing in a bus

I went to Vegas for a long weekend one time and got on a bus. For some reason I started seeing these pictures about a person getting on that same bus yelling and harassing. So I quickly started thinking about what to do in case of something like that would happen. On our second stop on our way back, a woman with a manly appearance, got into the bus saying racial slurs towards two African American girls seated in front of me and I just couldn't believe it. I grabbed my wife's hand at that point, remained quiet, and did not look back not look towards the woman. I was ready to attack if she started messing with my wife though. Fortunately, the bus driver did not take the smack and got her out of the bus immediately.

6th Sense

I have always felt things deeply, and been very sensitive/emotional. I used to get teased for crying so easily, sometimes I'd cry and not even know why or not feel sad (I know now someone close to me was probably sad at the time). For a while I used to ignore the intuitions n signs in my body (energy shivers across my skin) when they tried to tell me something; usually out of stubbornness. Especially in the case of guys; I'd have a bad guy feeling but was determined to prove he was right for me, needless to say every guy I've met like that turned out to be a complete jerk, has cheated on me, and emotionally abused me. I've now met a guy, and although I'm not as physically attracted to him, I sense his energy is genuine. I can sense lies/thoughts/memories too. I am very good at reading people. I once met a girl for 10 minutes and later described my impression of her to a mutual friend, who said he couldn't have even described her that well and he's known her for 5 months!

Knowing

i was told i am an empath. A person who can actually feel anothers feelings and iI also know what someone is thinking or if they're lying. It's just a knowing that comes naturally to me. It doesn't happen all the time. When have important issues to attend to, I zone out by keeping away from people, so that I can tend to my life.

Boyfriend's Ex-Girlfriend

I have been with my boyfriend for 7 months. I love him dearly, but he has some crazy ex girlfriends that will not move on from him. I had this bad vibe from one of his ex girls. Which I was right. That she was trying to break us up, and I was right. She would lie to him saying I was cheating and that I wanted him for money. I have the same bad vibe from his other ex but it's more of a feeling she's trying to get him back. I try to like her as a friend, but something won't let me because of this feeling. I don know if I should ignore it or see it through, but even if I see it through I wouldn't know what to do about it.

Instincts predicting futures.

I, after experiencing so many things myself now know that our instincts are our true guides. I have noticed many times, suddenly a thought comes to my mind about something wrong about to happen, and it turns out to be true. Even I felt sick when something really bad is about to happen. Like this one.. One Saturday i made plans with friends, but early morning I got sick. Other day I was completely fit! Even puked and felt very very weak. then after 15 mins I got well. Around 11 am was waiting for friends to pick me up that suddenly my father came back from his driving classes and sat quietly. I asked him about the class but then felt something was wrong as he is a very 'always smiling' kind of a person. I inquired about my paternal grandfather's health. He told with wet eyes that maternal grandmother i.e my Nani expired in the morning whom I was very attached to. I was shocked by the news and what was more shocking was, I felt the same thing she went through in her last minutes!!!

Stranger on the Bus Gave Me Bad Vibes

This happened two years ago. I was riding on the bus and was sitting towards the middle of the bus. It was after nine at night and I was on my way home from church and was feeling kind of tired. This man whom I had never met in my entire life had come from the back of the bus and sat in an empty row of seats in front of me. Then he turned around and looked me dead in my eyes. I just got the strangest and most horrible vibe from him and my walls just went up. Red flags were popping up all over the place. This man immediately struck me as the "I don't take no for an answer, I will "MAKE you like me" type. He looked like the type that would blow your phone up eighties times a day. He asked me for my number and I said "NO", but shortly after that experience, he continued to try and pursue. Thank God I stopped riding the bus for a while because it throws him off when he thinks that I'll be on the bus. He tried so much to look like a "Nice Guy." Please! That's how the game always starts. I'm too smart!

Absolutely a dimension of healing

I recently came across a website that referred to the five dimensions of healing. One of them was the "subtle," which I believe can be a good description for the gut instinct - although sometimes it comes across as strong! Mine's right about 95% of the time.

Inner knowing: the key to bliss

I am a medical doctor by profession who graduated from a school in Jos, Nigeria. I was in search of a housejob and had this gut instinctive feeling that I was going to do it in a particular hospital in a different state. Following my feeling, I declined to write interviews in Jos where I knew I would have been given the job without the blink of an eye and decided to follow my feelings to go to a place where my chances were logically less than 50% and I did not know very well. Turned out it all worked out well. I now am enjoying my self in this new state. Doing things I never dreamed would have been possible. Oh! would have shot myself if I didn't listen to that inner feeling! It really is a way God connects us to all of nature and we are able to know everything because it is all there, all written. "Intuition", so much better than any "tuition" any external source can give. I'm learning to follow it more and more each day.
