My experience with intuition has been evolving since early childhood. The signals have been strong and impossible to ignore. After many years I have learned to listen astutely and trust the information provided to me. I feel I am in tune with a certain frequency that allows me to be sensitive to those closest to my surroundings and as well as myself. As a young woman, I left school early and walked home because I felt my mother was in danger. I felt an energy that compelled me to leave and go home. Opening the door, I knew I was right. She was alone and had a mild stroke. Till this day she is shocked that I appeared at home early that day.
After that I began to realize that I see things about people instantly. Once I stayed for dinner at a friend's house and realized she was being severely beaten by her father. We didn't have TV shows back then that informed us of the signs of abuse or the stereotype of an abusive parent. I just saw it over the table during dinner. I looked at her father and had a vision of him being violent. It was as it I saw through his theatre of the bazaar. As our friendship went on, I eventually talked to her about it. When she asked how I knew, I told her about the night at dinner. She didn't believe me, but started to tell the ugly story for the first time. I didn't have dinner there again. My friend eventually moved in with her grandmother after 2 more years of violent episodes. I helped her pack in the night and she left.
During nursing school I had a difficult time pretending to examine the mannequins or do procedures on them. Everyone else was laughing and doing fine, but I felt unable to pretend. I was unable to assess and care for this inanimate object. I assumed that I was just nervous. Now I feel that the true reason was that I did not have energy with which to interact and communicate. When my first ICU rotation began with real people I didn't have this problem at all....
