Have you ever ‘known’ something was going to happen – and it did? There have been times I saw a door prize and ‘knew’ it was mine. I would be out of my seat and about to head to the front before my name was even called. I always wondered if I was creating the event or exercising intuition.

This can also apply to unpleasant events. Once my husband and I were outside watching our two-year-old ride his new bike. I was close to the house and Paul was by the end of the drive where there was a three foot drop into the bar-ditch full of muddy water. Jesse had ridden to within five feet of where Paul was and stopped. I ‘knew’ Jesse was going to head for the ditch but I thought ‘Paul’s there and will stop him’. Sure enough, Jesse gave a little banzai scream and headed for the ditch, and Paul just stood there. I was pretty frustrated with Paul at the time (we ended up in the emergency room – but Jesse was ok). But now I think I was picking up on intuition about that event when Paul was not.

Then there are the times I just knew it was time; time to get a job, time to go on a retreat. The feeling was one of resignation, a letting down of an energy that was keeping the status quo. As soon as I let the energy down the event happened. For example: I had moved to Austin with my new husband and had been searching for a job. One day while driving around I felt it was time to get a job. There was an energy shift. When I got home, I received a call from some one who had received my resume and I knew from their tone that they were going to hire me. Another time, my husband had talked me into signing up for a 3 day retreat. This was a women’s retreat that had a six month waiting list. I was not totally sold on going when I signed up but two weeks later while driving around town I decided it was time and I really did need to go on this retreat. When I got home, my sponsor called and said there was a cancellation for the retreat happening that weekend and could I go! As soon as my shift in thought or energy occurred the event happened!

I have been playing with shifting energy lately and it is hard. The resistant energy resides at the bottom of my heart and just above my stomach. I can feel it. But letting it go is difficult. I can’t seem to force it to leave; I have to let it go or release it. I would be interested in knowing of other people’s experiences.
