Session 3

Time for intuition training!

To build you your physical body, you go to the gym and you workout. You push yourself through exercises and challening repetitions. It works the same way with your psychic powers -- your connection with your intuition can also be strengthened through practice and exercise.

To build your psychic and intuitive strength, I recommend what I call Brain Aerobics. These are simple exercises that are a whole lot more fun than push-ups but equally valuable in building up your psychic muscle. For example:

Practice going with your first impression. Give yourself ten seconds to read a menu and make your choice. When you decide what to wear or select a movie, go with our first thought and stop second-guessing yourself or spending too much time in decision making.

EXERCISE:

Imagine you and a friend are dining out.

Select a Menu: give yourself 10 seconds to order

Practice Three Times!

Practice your ability to make predictions. Predict who is calling when the phone rings -- don't struggle to reason it out -- just relax and let your mind suggest a name. Predict what your next conversation will be about. When you're about to meet someone, predict what they will be like. Predict the outcome of the big game, such as SuperBowl, The World Series or any weekend sports event -- forget all those statistics and just relax and see what your mind tells you about it.

EXERCISE

Predict how many points the stockmarket will go up OR down tomorrow. Pick three stocks and predict the same.

Predict how many points the stockmarket will go up OR go down next week.

Go with your first impressions!

Try keeping score of your intuition and psychic impressions. Most of us mentally register our first impressions and opinions. After meeting someone for the first time, we might try to describe their character from the few impressions of the intitial meeting. Or we might do some guessing about their professions, their family backgrounds, or their marital status. I suggest you add to those natural impressions a little documentation. Write down our guesses -- your intuitive guesses. Refer back to those notes later. Pay attention to the refining and developing of your psychic and intuitive skills.

EXERCISE

Take a moment and describe your classmates; their marital status, how many children; personality traits, favorite food... be detailed.

Describe what a co-worker will wear tomorrow. Be detailed. What color shirt or blouse, etc.

* First write down your impressions; share your thoughts with classmate(s) via the messageboard or via MSN Instant Messenger.

Go with your first impressions!

 

You won't always be right -- but you'll fun at it and, gradually you'll begin to recognize some trends and characteristics about the most effective methods of communicating via psychic and intuitive channels -- the inner power that belongs to you.

Remember to respond quickly. Your first impression is likely to be your most accurate impression. Second thoughts may make you wonder -- but the long term will bear out the wisdom your psychic and intuition will if you'll just set it free to experience.

Learn to trust your psychic impressions and intuitive signals. Intuition is a natual mental faculty. It can do you no harm, only good!

*This is a good time to meet other classmates during this online course. Go the message board and introduce yourselves and experiment a bit. Relax. Play it out. Don't worry if your not right all the time. You're learning to develop your psychic abilities.

Victoria lynn Weston talks with America's leading parapsychologist, Jeffrey Mishlove on intuition.

 

THE INTUITIVE EDGE

Why use intuition?

A University of Texas professor, Weston Agor, believes that "intuitive decision makers are especially effective when new trends are emerging, when interpersonal judgement is valued and when it is necessary to challenge assumptions." Agor is right. Unless you're the boss' own child, you got your job because of your brain and it's unqiue abilities -- not because you have a warm body that could occupy space.

When you stop to think about it, your intuition is really what you were hired for. That's right. If a computer could do everything required for your job, you can be sure that your company would not be paying you all those fringe benefits. Computers can run rings around us when it comes to storing data, processing data, and moving data around. But computers with wisdom and judgement and intuition... are not yet on the market. You are still needed to use your human intuition to focus the blind power of the computer.

Intuitive people are very valuable commodities, especially when a problem arises that cannot be clearly defined and has no familiar method for solving it. In such times, a person who will listen to his or her intuitive voices holds the innovative key to the solution.

Success stories of intuitive people

Eleanor Friede is a good example. In 1970, Elearnor Friede was an editor for Macmillian publishing in New York City. One weekend, she sat on the deck of her Long Island beach house reading a manuscript for a children's book that two dozen publishing houses had already rejected. Eleanor felt the book was entirely believable as a story for adults, not children.

On Monday, Eleanor returned to work and tried to sell her bosses on the idea. Everyone laughed. The book just did not meet the criteria that they all accepted as essential. They started referring to the book as "Friede's Folly."

Eventually, Macmillian agreed to print 7,000 copies. To the surprise of everyone but Eleanor Friede, the book became an international best seller -- selling ten million copies 27 languages. Were it not for Eleanor Friede's attentiveness to her intuition, we would never have had a chance to read...Jonthan Livingston Seagull!

Eleanor Friede was relying on what gamblers call a hunch. She felt that the author, Richard Bach, had told a powerful story but was aiming at the wrong market. Because Eleanor had the courage of her convictions -- because she listend to her intuition, she and her company, and all of us are richer today.

A researcher at the FDA whose name I do not know, demonstrates that intuition can be more than a matter of good luck or good profits. It can be a matter of life and death.

Twenty years ago, this chemist was testing a new fertility drug for the Food and Drug Adminstration. The drug had gone through a battery of tests and had passed every one with flying colors. Even so, the young chemist felt that something was wrong, something just didn't feel right about the drug.

She went back to her supervisor and shared her doubts. She said, "I cannot prove what I am feeling. All the test say that the drug should be approved -- but, I just don't feel right about passing it."

This researcher had a wise supervisor. He said, "if your instinct tells you something, there must be reason for it. Trust yourself!"

The young woman went back to her paperwork and stamped "Rejected" on the forms andsent them back to the pharmaceutical company.

Less than nine months later, that researcher's doubts were justified. The drug she had been testing was Thalidomide -- a fertility drug that was later found to cause birth defects. The women who took Thalidomide in other countries did fidn that the drug helped them to conceive. But, in most cases their babies were born without arms or legs or diasastrously deformed.

That researcher stood firm against logic -- against scientific proof against the facts. If she had not listened to her intuition,k it is almost certain that thousands more women would have ingested Thalidomide and given birth to babies with twisted limbs and missing fingers.

"The 90s -- The Intuition Era"

John Mihalsasky and Douglas Dean, the authors of Executive, the authors of Executive ESP, researched the intuitive and psychic abilities of corporate presidents and CEOs. What do you think they found? They found a significant positive correlation between the precognitive abilities of company presidents and the profits of their companies. Intuitive leadership is profit leadership!

Robert Jenseon, the former chairman of General Cable Corporation, once told Fortune magazine about a time when he was faced with making five decisions worth $300 million dollars. Jenson said, "On each decision, the mathematical analysis only got me to the point where my intuition had to take over."

Philip Goldberg, author of The Intuitive Edge, quotes Henry Kissinger's description of the two-edged sword of playing your hunch. "The dilmemma of any statesman," said Kissinger, "is that he can never be certain about the provable course of events. In reaching a decision, he must inevitably act on the basis of an intuition that is inherently unprovable."

Going out on a limb and saying what you feel can be difficult in any organization. Research indicates that executives who have high intuitive powers are likely to de-emphasize their flashes of insight. As one CEO put it: "Even though I know the right answer instinctively -- it is usually wise to dress up an intuitive decision in a suit -- to make it acceptable."

But the situation is changing. Intuition is gaining respectability and finding proper respect in the corporate decision process. According to Success magazine, amjor corporations such as Hanover Insurance, Polaroid, and Pillsbury have consulted psychics.

Kentucky Fried Chicken tycoon, the late Colonel Sanders, was known to have welcomed a psychic to sit in on boardroom discussions and to provide insight into shareholder matters.

One stock broker and vice president for investments with the former Dean Witter Reynolds, frequently relies on psychic information to bolster his business judgements, a mfact he openly shares with his clients. he claims his psychic is right on about 80 percent of the time with predictions of stock market fluctuations.

Obviously, these companies don't blindly obey everything their psychics might tell them. But as one executive said, "Every bit of information helps in the decision making!"

Intuitive power is certainly a likely star on the corporate horizon of the 21st century. In fact, my intuitiov about the 21st century is that it will become known as the decade of "The Intuition Era" of business. We will continue to see an unprecendented level of acceptence with programs developed to help corporations identify and hire workers with natural and developed intuitive abilities.

Intuition isn't perfect -- psychic ability isn't 100% accurate all the time.

Don't let me oversell you on the powers of intuition and psychic abilities. Intuition isn't always right. Psychic impressions aren't always 100% accurate. In fact, if there is one thing that has confused the public's perception about psychic phenomena, it's the assumption that if you claim to be in touch with your psychic side, you are claiming to omniscient -- to know everything.

It's the old cliche question: "If you're so smart, why aint' ya rich?" Or, "If you're psychic why can't you pick the winning lottery numbers?" "Why aren't you on Wall Street making thousands day-after-day-after-day?"

To be perfectly frank, psychic information has occasionally steered me to the right stock, the perfect real estate investment -- but, psychic and intuitive powers is a gift intended fo rmore important works than doing party tricks or making big bucks.

Sometimes when people find out that I've been married and divorced, they respond "Aha! How come you didn't know in advance that your marriage was going to end in divorce?"

You should see the looks on their faces when I answer that I did know. "But then, why did you do it?" they want to know. And I have a chance to explain two every important factors of psychic knowledge. One...I could have been misunderstanding or misreading my vision of my future. And two...there are a lot of valuable lessons to be learned in life...even through the disapointment of divorce.

Intuition isn't always right. Psychic impressions aren't always going to be 100% accurate. Or maybe it's more accurate to say, "We humans do not always receive, nor interpret our intuitive messages, our psychic visions with accuracy and precision."

Many parapsychologists and myself believe that raw intuitive and psychic information is indeed 100% accurate. It's our ability or inability to interpret these visuals, feelings. Much can skew the message instantly by our desires. For instance, you dream of winning the lottery. You purchase lottery tickets -- carefully tunining-in to see predict the winning numbers. Now -- see how wishful thinking already taints the true intuitive and psychic information?

It is true that the psychic vision, intuitive vibe will be accurate, but our ability to understand it may be lacking. Let me give you another example. Working on my second book("Into The Future, The Next Millennium"), I made a prediction while under hypnosis that the United States and Russia would merge. I based that prediction on a clairvoyant picture that I received...which was the United States flag with the Russian hammer and sickle in the middle of the US stars. I took that visual to mean that the two countries would merge or create a new partnership. Of course, we know now what that psychic visual really meant. If I had been better read on international politics, I probably would have correctly interpreted the independence of the Soviet Union. The point is, the psychic visual was accurate. But it was human limitation on intrepretation that skewd the message.

A person's intuition can be strong in one domain and weak in another. A doctor whos intuitive judgements in surgery take him far beyond normal surgical skill, may at the same time, follow all the wrong hunches in his business investments.

Or maybe you have a known a truly intuitive personnel director, someone who has a sixth sense about putting the right employee in the right job... but whose ability to choose friends or lovers is notoriously poor.

Psychics have strengths and weaknesses as well. And there is certainly such a thing as a good day or a bad day for communicating with your psyche. Circumstances can effective the intuitive and psychic faculty. Just like other mental functions, intuition and/or psychic power is stronger when we are confident, motivated and deeply involved.
