A Letter from Susan on Living an Intuitive Life

Several decades of research and clinical work have confirmed  for me that we are not only powerful, loving beings, but, additionally, we are extraordinary and our extraordinary qualities have much to do with our inherent gift of intuition, sometimes called our inner voice or our sixth sense.

For example, have you noticed how often listening to your strong gut feelings has been worth your time and effort? If so, you likely have recognized the power of learning to develop this valuable gift with which you were born.

When was the last time you had a strong hunch or gut feeling about calling a loved one or making a decision and then acted on it, whether at home or in your workplace, and felt pleased that you had?

Have you noticed, when you choose to listen to your gut feeling, that events, sometimes labeled miracles (because they save your life), occur?

Intuition and age, I have found, work in your favor. For example, the older you are, the more likely you have had opportunities to put your intuitive wisdom to the test by choosing to listen to it – and, if you have, you have most likely found that it served you.

For example, Kate Gosselin, a guest participant on Dancing with the Stars, while being interviewed on the program, mentioned that on the night she was eliminated, she had known she would not be returning to the show because she had had a strong gut feeling and she had learned that she could always trust her gut. Though losing a competition is never easy, being able to anticipate this made it just a little easier for Kate. A mom with eight children is clearly empowered by recognizing she can trust her intuition – especially in managing and anticipating possible problematic situations with her kids or in her own life.

Another example of the impact of trusting our intuition occurred about a month ago when I met a dear friend at my hair salon, a friend I had not seen in almost a year. She explained that she had to change the day she normally comes to the salon and that she had a very strong gut feeling that she would see me there. She was absolutely on target – and she told me that she felt good knowing that she was getting better at trusting her own intuition. I smiled as she told me her story, knowing that she represented so many who were learning to experiment with and harness their intuitive wisdom.

Additionally, within the pages of the soon-to-be released Touched by the Extraordinary, Book Two, Stories of Love, Loss and Hope, are beautiful, heartwarming stories of people such as physician and author, William Hablitzel, spiritual teacher, speaker and author, John Harricharan, and breast cancer surgeon and author, Beth DuPree. Each of these individuals chose to listen to his or her intuition, thereby enhancing the quality of his or her life. Also included are stories of those who, while dealing with cancer or other health issues, chose to listen to their intuitive guidance and, afterward, felt that their decisions contributed to their healing experience. Yes, hope comes in knowing that you are not alone and that you always have access to your intuitive wisdom.

Developing this intuitive gift with which you were born is easy and even fun to do – and definitely something which can serve you practically, as well as spiritually. I have learned that your intuition is one of your greatest resources, enhancing your ability to be resilient in challenging times. It has helped me through personally difficult times in my own life.

My own journey has been enlightening. While writing about the extraordinary, I’ve discovered that we create our own miracles because we are intuitive and because we choose to trust that part of us that knows Truth. As I often state in lectures and workshops, it is not that we are touched by the extraordinary, but, rather, it is that we ARE extraordinary! And, it is our intuitive wisdom that contributes to our amazing power.

Personally and professionally, I use my intuition to assist my patients to heal themselves. I intuitively know how they are the moment they enter my office or when I speak with them by telephone. I then begin the work of asking for and listening to the intuitive guidance I need to assist them on their healing journey. Nurses, physicians and those who work with the energy of the body are especially effective in listening to their intuition. But, whether you are a student, plumber, painter, business person, parent, teacher, artist, writer, hairdresser, manicurist or scientist, you can easily learn to make the very most of “the still small voice within,” otherwise known as your intuitive wisdom.

This is what I wish to emphasize: You are as extraordinary and remarkable as anyone else! What I have learned is that we are all blessed to come into this lifetime with the ability to know what we need to know and that when we tap into our own Knowing (our intuition), the quality of life is enhanced and, definitely, more enjoyable.
