Many other Intuitives come to me for a session.  They very often have a difficult time reading and seeing for themselves.  I do have the ability to read myself, and more and more I am getting the messages to spend more time in quiet meditation so I can gain a richer and deeper mastery of my gifts.The problem with me is that I do not always want to hear the truth.  I have my own agenda and that is not always for my highest good.  I am sure you have been here before like me, not wanting to hear or know the truth yet wanting a different outcome.   During one of my Medium venues last year I said to a woman; ”How honest do you want me to be with you in reference to your husband’s health and outcome?”"  She responded: “Don’t be that honest.”    Being honest, for many of us, is difficult.

I was just on the phone with my friend’s mother because I observed a heart problem around her.  As a matter of fact, six months ago I told my friend, I see leg pain around your mother and a heart condition and something needs to be done.  I just found out that last year she went to the doctor and was told she has some blockage in one of her arteries.  Now a year has gone by and I asked her, “why have you not followed up to see what the next step is for this condition to be resolved?” My friend’s mother said to me, “I was wondering lately why the doctor has not followed up with me.”  I said to her, “you have a heart condition, your legs are going numb, you need to take responsibility and know what needs to be done to solve this problem so you can heal your life.”  Now do you think she really wants to live in truth???? NO!  Her response to me was, “when am I going to have a relationship?”  She sounds like most of us; doesn’t she?  In the middle of a crisis we always want to know when the man or woman is coming into our life.  I said to her, “you can have a man in your life in the spring after surgery.”  She said, “so, you see surgery?”  Now the doctor had told her they needed to replace the clogged artery.   I am not a doctor, but isn’t surgery required to do that?    Mind you I told her about her date with surgery before I found out all of this information about the doctor.

I hung up with her and was baffled because she does not want to live in reality with her life right now.   Many times it is tough for us to live in reality when we are scared there is uncertainty around us.

Thinking about relationships made me think of the many conversations I have with my friends on a regular basis.  Going back to that whole living in truth moment…  How many times do you get the same message this guy is not the one and it is not going to work out, yet we still want to know what everybody else thinks, nd if they think it is possible.  When my clients ask me about a relationship that I know they want to be in, I see the outcome not going in their favor and this can be tough. 

I always say if something is removed from us it is because there is far greater waiting in the wings.  Also if someone does not belong to you, consider this a blessing and have your heart open to receive the gift.

Warm Wishes,

Joan Marie Whelan

In a recent article in USA Today, reporter Karen S. Peterson writes about social psychologists and researchers, who claim that their research is geared toward “fortifying intuition, sharpening thinking and deepening wisdom.” Stuart Vyse, a psychologist, however, stated that “…it has been shown over and over again that gut reactions are not accurate. It is a mistake to base a decision on a gut feeling.” I beg to differ. Intuition, “gut feeling” and “hunches” are often the saving grace to many a soul.

In an article by the Crime Library, “What They Did Last Summer,” novelist Lois Duncan (author of “I Know What You Did Last Summer”) incurred a tragic, life-altering event when her daughter, 17-year old Kaitlyn was murdered. Using intuition and psychic detective work, the case was subsequently solved.

The difficulty that intuition presents, as Myers points out, is that there are many false prophets who claim to know all and see all; and like any bad apple in the bunch, spoils the whole lot. Many times, it has been intuition and “gut feeling” that has saved people from many a tragedy.

What makes a complete stranger jump before a racing subway train to save another human being? Recent heroism, like that of Navy veteran Wesley Autrey of NY proved that making a split-second decision to save a convulsing man on the tracks was critical. Some might call that stupidity - others might call it luck; I call that intuition. Mr. Autrey, in response to why he had jumped onto the tracks was, “I did what I felt was right.” Had his intuition not taken over at that precise second, the man on the tracks would not be alive today.

What makes a person do incredible human feats? Is it simply “adrenaline;” or is adrenaline part of the “gut feeling” or “intuition” that gives us the insight to make strategic plans, and sometimes, lead us down the “right path” in our lives? Another case of intuition…or as some may call it luck…involves a family who decided to take the bus instead of taking the train on a cross-country trip in Germany. The train derailed. Coincidence?

Then there’s chains of ”coincidences,” like the many who decided not to work on the morning of 9/11. Was that mere coincidence or intuition? Another case of “intuition,” involves a young woman who chose to call into work one early Saturday morning. She worked in a sportswear distribution warehouse. On the morning that she was scheduled to work, all the 20+ foot aisles of ton-weight clothing racks toppled like dominoes in the area she would have been working. Gut feeling? Coincidence?

What makes a passerby jump into a lake to save a drowning stranger? Is that simply being a “hero?” No, the commonality of all of these cases is that no one wakes up one morning and says, “Oh, I think I’ll be a hero today,” or “I think I’ll save someone’s (or my own) life today.” Intuition is likening to that of “EQ” (Emotional Intelligence). Without it, many people would not even survive. These are instinctive emotions and “gut feelings” that are inherent in the human being. The difference between intuition and false thinking is that your ego mind gets in the way and you want something and want an experience that might not be best for you. False thinking is not hearing the truth of your reality and not wanting to live in truth in that moment. Can a hunch prove to not come true absolutely? The key is to look deeper into the feeling of what was really going on and get the lesson behind it. In general, individuals who have clouded their minds with greed and other habitual tendencies may not be able to think clearly; therefore intuition becomes just as clouded.

I believe that intuition, as our emotional intelligence, is the driving factor in what makes people succeed in life…draws people to each other in positive relationships…transforms our perception and makes us the best humane and compassionate people we can be; both personally and professionally. The major issue that surrounds intuition and developing intuition is not so much that we don’t instinctively have intuition; it’s the fact that we don’t listen to it, or abide by it — and that’s when we end up getting ourselves in a pickle. Intuition, like any other learning module, must be fine-tuned to deliver the best results; whether you use it effectively, well, that’s entirely up to you.

Until we speak again…I am

The question I get asked on a regular basis is – how long have you had your gift.  You see since I can remember – I have been able to look at a person and know things about them without even having a conversation with them.  I can see family members that died, I can see your possibilities of your future, very accurately I might add and I can see what has happened in your life and know the details of your past all without you saying anything.

Imagine being a child in your mother’s arms and looking at your Uncle who just walked in the door for a birthday party and know he is a very angry man with a lot of challenges in this life time.   Meanwhile, I had this memory when I was a child a about 2 years old.   As a child I had no idea that my gifts would turn out to be a profession and my greatest asset.  It was not easy though to get to this place. 

As a child I would always make my dad look in the closet, and under the bed  to make sure no one was there waiting for me…. Believe it or not- I still do this routine every night when I go to bed.  I do travel a lot and you better believe I check out my hotel room before lights out.  Anyway, the reason
