More Intuitive Exercises

Hey there! How are you doing on honing up your intuitive skills? These are not things that come easily for most folks, BUT with practice, we can strengthen our intuitive "muscle"  :-) Below are some more ideas of ways to practice or exercise your intuition. Again, alot of people feel self doubt about these things, but listen to Mambo Sam's sage advice to "Suspend Disbelief" for a while and try a few! Post some comments and let me know how you do!

1. Whenever the telephone rings, close your eyes and visualize the person who is calling. Then pick up the phone and discover if you’re right. Your accuracy will improve dramatically as you practice this exercise, and this exercise may help you develop your clairvoyant abilities in addition to intuition and precognition.
2. When you stand in line at the bank, tell yourself which teller will serve you. This exercise is similar to the first, but you can see your “target." This exercise helps you develop your intuition and your ability to psychically connect with others who are in close proximity.
3. When you watch a sporting event, tell yourself the outcome before the event begins. As you develop skill with this exercise, expand to predicting more statistics such as scores or top 5 placements in racing or judged events. This exercise helps you develop your intuition, precognition, and clairvoyance. Do not misuse this skill for personal gain, such as gambling, or you will likely lose your skill entirely.
4. Have a friend roll a dice. Begin by calling “even" or “odd" before the dice is thrown your accuracy will increase with practice. Expand to call the number the dice will land on. This exercise helps you develop your intuition, precognition and clairvoyance (specifically your ability to see numbers).
5. Work with a friend and a standard deck of playing cards. Begin by predicting black or red, and then have your friend turn over the top card of the deck. Your accuracy will improve with practice. When your accuracy is 80% or greater, expand to predict the suit, and later, the number or face of the card as well. This exercise boosts your intuition, precognition, and clairvoyance (specifically colours and shapes).
6. When you’re riding an elevator and another passenger joins you, tell yourself which button they’ll press. This exercises helps you develop your intuition, precognition, clairvoyance (number recognition), telepathy, and your ability to connect with others psychically.
7. In the morning, write down the names of people you will have important interactions or communications with that day. Don’t rely on logic. Clear your mind and allow faces or names to come to you naturally. Trust it and write it down. Using this exercise regularly will significantly improve your accuracy.
8. When in line at the movies, tell yourself which movie the person or group ahead of you will request (if you overhear them say it, try again another time!). This exercise helps you improve your intuition concerning the intentions, preferences and actions of others, and it can lead to developing telepathy and empathy.
9. When you have a meeting or appointment, tell yourself the colour of clothing the other person will be wearing before you meet. (This does not work for all people or situations. For example, you can reasonably assume a doctor will be wearing white, or you may know someone always wears a particular colour.) This exercise improves your clairvoyant abilities and could help you develop remote viewing skills as well.
10. Ask three friends a question (such as “what did you eat for breakfast?" or “where do you want to go on your next vacation?") Before you ask your questions, your friends must decide amongst themselves which one will answer falsely, and you must write down which friend will answer falsely. Then you ask your question and listen to each friend reply. Show them the name you wrote down before you asked the question. This exercise helps you develop intuition, precognition and can lead to developing telepathy. This skill is especially valuable in life the ability to recognize deception and even predict it can make your life, and the lives of many others, much smoother.

All About Your Intuition -- and how to improve it

Hey there -- a number of folks have written to me asking about ways that they can improve upon their intuition. I personally think that intuition something that can be improved with practice. I think its a skill that we can develop over time. Like painting or sculpting, there is are certain people that have a gift of great intuition, but also, certain aspects of Intuition can be strengthened with practice ;-) Soooo, here is an article with some ideas of places to start. BIG DISCLAIMER ~~~~ ONLY practice these on things that you have no emotional attachment to! Like, what color envelopes might be in your mailbox, which way does that door open, who is on the other end of the phone when it rings. Do NOT try this with anything that you have any emotional attachment to!  Have a great time and leave me some comments about how you did ;-) Light and Love, Sister Bridget

ALL ABOUT YOUR INTUITION

...AND HOW TO IMPROVE IT

From an interview with Thomas Condon

Intuition is a lot like dreaming. We don't know how we do it, but we do it. Intuition is knowing something - but not knowing how you know it. Intuitive knowledge comes to us spontaneously and directly, without the use of reason or logical thought. Some people trust their intuition - they "believe" in it, and act on it. Example: you bypass a parking space because you "know" there will be a space closer to where you're going.

Others deny intuitive information, or distrust it as "irrational." But most of us can recall an instance when we ignored a "feeling" or "hunch" about someone or something - and later regretted it.

Knowing how to cultivate your intuition can help in every aspect of our lives. So, to help our readers get ahead, we spoke to the expert in this area, Thomas Condon. His insights: Intuition can be loosely defined as the ability to synthesize and make deductions from all of our accumulated unconscious experience. Most of the information we use in our daily lives is unconscious. We "know" much more than we realize.

Example: Which way doors open - in or out. Our senses provide us with ongoing information that never reaches our conscious awareness, unless we turn our attention to it.

Similarly, intuitive information comes to us through our senses. Examples : Some people get a "gut feeling" about things. Others hear "a little voice," "see the light" or see "a fleeting image." Still others sense good or bad "vibrations." Those who learn to "tune in" to their intuition find it a useful tool in their personal and professional lives.

Increasing Intuition

We can expand our intuitive capacities, like any other of our physical or mental capabilities, with training and exercise. The process :

1. Evoke, or awaken, our intuitive capacity, by identifying our personal intuitive messages.

2. Focus our intuition on practical outcomes ... improved relationships, confident decision-making, clear goal-setting, increased creativity and productivity, correct judging and forecasting.

Your Personal Intuitive Style

In my research and workshops, I have learned that each person experiences intuition in a different, highly individual way.

* Identify your intuitive style by remembering times you just "knew" something. Try to relive the experience. How does such information come to you? Do you see, hear or feel it? Is it loud and clear? Niggling and vague? Intuitive images, voices or feelings tend to have a consistent source. Examples:

"Suddenly the big picture flashes before my eyes".

"I feel a sense of sureness in my stomach - a 'grounded' feeling."

"I hear my own voice inside my head."

"I literally feel pulled in one direction."

"I get a feeling in my chest that something 'wants out'."

Object: Learn where to look, listen, or turn your attention when you want intuitive information. Exercise: Hone in on the part of yourself that transmits intuitive information - the voice in your ear, the screen in your mind, the feeling in your chest and belly. Pose clear "Yes or no" questions and be receptive to the responses you get. Result: The bridge between your conscious, active awareness and your unconscious is strengthened. You will find that intuitive information is readily available - even if you are highly skeptical at first. Your "inner translator" will become more clear and accessible with more practice.

Skeptics seem to respond especially well to intuition exercises.

Reasons: Underutilized intuition often seems to blossom when it is cultivated. Skeptics don't "believe" in intuition, so they can play with the exercises free of any expectations, judgments or defenses. They react with surprise and delight when it works.

To Improve Your Intuition

* Notice when you are being intuitive, and squeeze one hand with the other. Purpose: To create an association response so you can learn to access your intuition by squeezing your hand.

* Learn your physical intuitive habits. Do your eyes move in a particular way ? Do you have a characteristic posture or facial expression ? Gestures or actions ? Assume these motions to access intuitive information.

* Practise maintaining an open-minded, playful, experimental, non-judgmental attitude.

* Daydream, doodle, brainstorm, and write down words or phrases that come to you when problem-solving.

* Practice making wild guesses. Examples : What a salespersons's name is, what a new person or place will look like, who is calling on the phone. Imagine laughing when you are wrong about insignificant facts. Purpose : To free you to make wild guesses

* Listen to your "inner dialogue."

* Make positive suggestions to yourself ... pose positive, specific questions to your intuition.

* Take up rhythmic exercise such as swimming, yoga or t'ai chi. Also helpful : self hypnosis, meditation.

When seeking intuitive information about yourself or others ... relax and get comfortable. Quiet your inner dialogue and look past the inner images that run through your mind. Focus your attention on the "blank screen" behind them. Immerse yourself in the activity of receiving the information that comes.

Observation exercises : In restaurants, on trains, shopping, etc., practise noticing non-verbal behavior in others ... posture shifts, hand motions, vocal tone or tempo. Guess how your subjects are feeling or what they are talking about.

And have fun ! Some people may believe that their intuition only works in tragic or exceptional circumstances. But that is like saying we only use our common sense in emergencies. Intuition, like common sense, is with us all of the time - if we are willing to use it.

Hey there!

I am so excited to "see" you all again in the teaching chat class with Mambo Sam tomorrow night. AND for the Ogoun Ritual. Its going to be a great time! I am stopping on my way home tonight to get some extra special offerings..... I am thinking a nice red mango and a small steak would be nice. I received my Ogoun Ritual Pack today, and its really splendid. The oil is soooooo hot! Everything in the pack is great, but the oil may just replace Abre Camino as my personal favorite ;-) If you are a spellmaker.com client and havent signed up for teaching chat sessions yet, you can do so by contacting Berkeley at the office. Its going to be a grand time.

See you then!

If you want your Ogoun package before the ritual....

Today would be the last day to place your order!

This ritual pack will be used in conjunction with our online ritual on April 23, 2008. April 23 is the traditional feast day of St. George. St. George is often syncretized with Ogoun. We will be doing the ritual online together on April 23, however, you can actually use this ritual pack at any time you desire.  Please note: It is not necessary to have this pack in order to participate in the ritual we will do together online. This package is an enhancement to that ritual.

We are offering this package in two versions. The difference in the two versions is that "Version B" also includes Ogouns Crimson Power™ bath which may be used before or after the actual ritual itself is done. Both Version A and Version B contain special consecrated items for the ritual as well as ritual instructions.

To read more about this wonderful new and exciting package, click here.

Hope to see you all in ritual next week!

"Inches make Champions"

"Inches make Champions"

I came across this wonderful quote this morning and it made me think of all the beloved Spellmaker clients and their cases. These profound words were spoken by football coach Vince Lombardi. Under Vincent Lombardi's direction, the Green Bay Packers collected six division titles, five NFL championships, two Super Bowls, and record of 98-30-4. Lombardi knew a lot about winning. Progress is progress, even if it is just a few inches at a time. Success in any endeavor can be built inch by inch. Very few wins in anything in life are by a landslide."Inches make Champions" just rings so true for me, and I think for many of you as well. I know it can be difficult going thru processing and ups and downs and whatnot with your HD's. But keep your eye on the goal line, and take every inch of progress you make as a blessing. So, maybe once in a while maybe there is a fumble and you lose a little ground.... its the overall momentum towards your goal that will get you across that goal line!

Light and Love,

Sister Bridget

Thought for Today - Send out Love

Hi There -
I came across this passage as I was reading last night and it made me think of y'all. I mean , of course when doing spellwork, we send out love, that is what its all about. But sometimes, I think we get blinders on, that we focus so much and so intently on our cases, that we dont realize there are lots of people in out day to day lives that could benefit from a little love and kindness as well.....

Send Out Love

"Prayer is the act and presence of sending this light from the bountifulness of your love to other people to heal, free, and bless them. Where there is love in your life, you should share it spiritually with those who are pushed to the very edge of life. There is a very lovely idea in the Celtic tradition that if you send goodness out from yourself, it will come back to you multiplied ten thousand times. In the kingdom of love there is no competition; there is no possessiveness or control. The more love you give away, the more love you will have."
— Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom

So, cast your day to day net a little wider, smile at a stranger, say a kind word to a frazzled coworker. Send out love!

Light and Love

Sister Bridget
