Shopping might be viewed as a rather shallow way to use your intuition. However I find it is one of the best ways to strengthen it. If you can develop it in your mundane daily decisions, you would be surprised by the quality of your choices, and also how many additional messages you might receive along the way.
I find the best way to see if your Intuition is correct is to actually follow it. I am coming to this conclusion usually after NOT following it many, many times always to my detriment.
My intuition has ALWAYS been right. When will I actually believe that? J I guess when I decide to listen to it absolutely, positively, 1000% of the time and as a result my life flows as smoothly as silk.
You will see from the following conversation between my intuitive mind and my “rational” mind that sometimes that is a huge struggle for me. (Luckily no one can hear these conversations except me…and that is bad enough.)
Reason: “Geez…I see the toystore I was headed to for my niece’s birthday present went out of business.”
Intuition: “Hey you - the name of that other kids’ store that just popped into your head – your niece would really, really love something that is in that store, for her birthday…”
Reason: Ignores Intuition. Keeps thinking of possible of solutions.
Intuition: “Hey you - I’m telling you she wants something that is in that store”.
Reason: “That store is too far.”
“It’s not too far if you go this way…[shows me a map of the route in my head]”
“Okay, but what about the traffic at lunch time?”
“I promise, the traffic will be light.”
“Doesn’t that store only sell clothes? I bet they don’t even have toys…”“The store has something your niece really wants for her birthday.”
“I have to get back to the office right away to give Dick that information he wanted…”“Dick isn’t even in the office this afternoon.”
“How do you know? Alright, but you’d better be right…I’ll go to the darn store”
K gets to the store…
Reason: “So what is the thing she wants?” asks, as K moves around the store looking at things.
Intuition smiles but doesn’t answer and stays silently smug.
Reason: “Am I buying the right thing? Is this what she wanted?”
Intuition still doesn’t answer, keeps smiling and not answering.
K takes the presents to the till for gift-wrapping and then leaves the store to buy some lunch, while the presents are being gift-wrapped.
K comes back in the store, is immediately drawn to the first thing she looked at in the shop and didn’t buy. K instinctively now knows this is the right thing, the thing she was supposed to buy. K takes this item to the till to buy it. K leaves store and drives back to work.
As she drives, K feels in her body and her mind, more and more, that the item she got is the thing she was supposed to buy.
Reason: “Great. Okay you were right. Fine. Thanks. Is that what you wanted to hear? Thanks.”
Intuition decides to be smug all day, but keeps laughing quietly while Reason is once again forced to admit defeat. Intuition is even more smug when K’s niece opens the gift and immediately loves it.
Score: Intuition - 3, 697, 884 correct
Reason – 3 (probably when it decided to align with Intuition)
Really it’s amazing Intuition keeps helping me out after all the attitude it gets from me.
Once again, thanks Intuition!!

Heavyweight
I had a dream last night. My mom’s boyfriend, who is an entrepreneur, had set up a boxing match. It was a fight between a woman I didn’t know against an established male boxer. It looked like a really uneven fight – definitely the experienced boxer would win. At the last minute, the girl bowed out of the match, and I had to take her place. For some reason unbeknownst to me, it was really important that the boxing match go ahead. Instead of running away or protesting against the ridiculousness of the match, in the dream, I determined that I had to go ahead with it.
Just before I woke up I remember thinking in the dream “This established boxer is going to kick the crap out of me. I know physically I am outmatched. How can I use my mind to win this match, even though it looks impossible?” I also remember putting black eyeshadow on my eyes, although I’m not sure if it was to make me look scary or pretty, but it seemed important for some reason.
I told my coach about this session, and we started trying to unravel the pieces of this dream. We established that my mom’s boyfriend is an entrepreneur, involved in a lot of projects I don’t really understand. She suggested that perhaps he was showing me something about my own entrepreneurial interests – perhaps showing things I don’t understand about my own business myself. We were trying to figure out the significance of the “fight”.
I told my coach that during the day I had been reading some New Age magazines like Mosaic and Synchronicity and didn’t realize it at the time, but I had been thinking things like “Wow. There’s no way my little voice and humble ideas could compete with Louise Hay, Stephen Farmer, and all those other….heavyweights.” As soon as the word tumbled out of my lips, I knew what the fight in the dream was about.
My subconscious didn’t believe there was room enough in the world for my ideas. After all, what is the significance of what I have to say compared to the big wigs of the New Age personal development industry?
(I never thought about the symbolism involving the making up of my eyes until later. According to whats-your-sign.com, the eye is the window to the soul, which may explain why the symbolic meaning of eyes tends to be of a spiritual nature. This to me indicates the dream was trying to tell me about the links to my spiritual projects, such as this blog. This confirms in an even deeper way what the dream was trying to tell me.)
My coach told me that she didn’t think I was connecting with those people who my blog is targeting. Perhaps that is because I haven’t had the courage to send it out to even one person yet!! What a surprise that I wasn’t connecting with anyone if no one even knew about it.
“Send the blog link out to one person”, she told me. “Just take baby steps.”
She told me a lot of stuff I know already and agree with, but apparently was not feeling deep down. Each of us is unique, and has a unique message. Even if the exact same message has already been shared many times, the unique individual spin I put on it is destined to reach the ears of one particular person, or perhaps several, or perhaps millions. There is a reason I need to share my message in my own unique way. That is the way things are designed in this Universe. Her point was, I will never know when or if that message finds its intended audience, unless someone actually reads what I write.
So here I am in the ring – my humble voice. I’ve put up my dukes and I’m giving it my best shot! Read away and I appreciate any comments you might have.
