Answer of the month – August (Yvonne)
August 29th, 2008Heidi,
My question is combo of a psychic development question and a personal topic.
Q: How reliable is a person’s intuition? As in, intuitively I know I should be with someone from my past. I’ve always known this, perhaps earlier I described it as a gut feeling but in the past few years I would consider this being my intuition and that “I know” this will happen. This was always reinforced by getting his card (King of Swords) constantly over the years in my tarot spreads. Yet there is absolutely nothing whatsoever solid to say that I am right. In fact, his present status would point to the contrary.
I’m afraid I’m confusing wishful thinking with intuition but because it’s always been so strong I’ve never questioned that I may be wrong up until now as nothing has ever come to fruition.
Many thanks,
Yvonne
Heidi’s reading for Yvonne:
Hmm interesting! This feels to me as though yes, indeed your ‘feelings’ relate to a deep connection with this man rather than this be your imagination. The reason I say this is because when I look at your energy (energy isn’t logic therefore it has no distance, it can be seen / felt regardless of whether a person is present) it feels to me very calm, collected and by no means obsessed with the past. Your energy is carefully observing rather than trying to jump in to this man’s life. Therefore it is again, your intuition that is picking up on the connection between the two of you rather than your personality desperate to rekindle the past. There is certainly unfinshed business between the pair of you and you are much more conscious of it than he is. I feel he is a man who hides behind bravado, and perhaps makes jokes to hide his feelings. It feels to me at the moment this chap has a partner but he can’t quite commit to this person because he can sort of feel something in his past, but wouldn’t be able to immediately identify what it is he’s ‘thinking’ about. This to me suggests that indeed Yvonne, you are very much in touch with your intuition and you’re quietly listening to it. If life takes you on a path where you and this man are not back together you will though find resolution. This is because you trust in your own instincts.
Your story reminds me of someone whose story is very similar. I can tell you the conclusion of that one! A woman I’ve known for 10 years or so had an almost identical set of circumstances. She was with a man for a while and they split up but she had a feeling like yours, (for years) that they were going to be together. She carried on with her life, and as far as she knew he was with someone else, he hadn’t contacted her etc etc. But she had this feeling and everytime I saw her sporadically she would mention it and she felt she had to move to a certain town.
Anyway, I bumped into her at an event a couple of years ago in the town she thought she should move to, she invited me to her house. Her house was the house she lived in with her husband-to-be. He was indeed the man she knew she’d be with. Apparently, after she moved to the town her intuition had told her to move to, she bumped into this man from her past as she walked home from work one day. The rest is history, they; I know got married last year, and I think this year in their life so I’ve heard, is the patter of tiny feet…

Heidi,
Many thanks for your response – it has made a lot of sense (I wouldn’t expect anything else!). I think – for me – I generally trust my intuition when I know something is going to go “wrong” and it’s more a “I told you so/ I knew I was right about that” reaction when the wrong thing that I anticipated happened. I was just not confident (up on now) relying on my intuition when I felt that something good might happen – and I was afraid that I was confusing this with wishful thinking.
However, after reading this, I am going to make a conscious effort to be honest with myself and if see/feel intuitively something that is good for me or someone else, I am not going to put it down to wishful thinking and believe that it is my intuition.
When you described that my energy was “carefully observing” I had to laugh – it’s completely what I’m doing. I’m sitting back and watching everything. I see the events that are going on in front of me in black and white but I feel that something quite else is really happening. It’s something akin to “playing happy families” is what I’m observing.
When you described him as a “man who hides behind bravado, and perhaps makes jokes to hide his feelings” – I nearly felt I should send him this link!! I don’t see him much – perhaps twice in a year for the last while – I could confidently say that your description is perfect – in fact I’d say even his closest friends would say this is accurate. I do think it’s fascinating that you have the gift to do this so well and accurately and although I’m currently booked to go to your workshop in Dublin in November – I’m looking at flights to go to your workshop next week in the UK to learn more!!!
I hope this question/answer does encourage people to rely on their intuition more!
