never thought I'd post in here..

I always wondered whether deja vu (sp?) is a vague memory of a dream that you may have had..

I agree with MD hun.

I have the same thing, I know when someone is going to call me and I know who it will be. I know when someone is going to knock on the door unexpectedly.
I know in the morning if I am going to lose something. Just little things here but I surprise myself sometimes. You've gotta start somewhere

practice predicting the colours of your clinkers or use it to find carparks!

Only joking..best thing you can do is keep listening to it and respecting it. Looking after your emotional health, maintaining healthy relationship boundaries, and looking after your body can help with staying "clear" to hear the whispers more readily when it matters.

Mine started like yours...starting asking questions about it, answers started popping up when I needed them.

Clinkers is a great one. Used to have the comp of the first person to get 3 picks right in a row would win the bag of clinkers. I often won

Some interesting stories here.
And LOL at Clinkers, I love clinkers purely for the guessing part.

I'm curious as to why my new skill is suddenly appearing now? Or have I always had it but been a) too cynical and b) too cluttered, mentally and emotionally.

I think becoming a mother has something to do with it. How can I just hone in on this skill? I suppose I just have to let it grow on it's own. I also need to learn to actually stop and listen to it, accept that yes it is a real vision and I should respond accordingly. Previously, I've just heard it and thought little of it, only to see it pan out inevitably, when I surely could ave changed it/been prepared for it, eg my wallet! Even whilst shopping, I still kept thinking "wallet going to get stolen".
But instead of being extra vigilant, I ignored it.

You know i think mine is getting stronger as i get older. May be Turtleschell, i may be paying more attention to it, i dunno.

i'm with MD on this one. find a healthy balance with it. dont push too hard, but let it happen. (although i have no right to say much on the matter as i have spent the last oh say 13 years trying to block all things spooky lol).

we laugh at clinkers, but yeah, basic work like that can be really helpful. it is a matter of allowing your concious brain to take the back seat while the spiritual comes to the fore. it is a trick and can be hard to recognise at first but with practice you get better.

you may also find that there are certain times when it is stronger than others (like after a recent passing, or a birth or a new house with a 'guest' that you have been into).

my 'gift' (if that's what we wanna call it ) is quite disturbing. i have mentioned in here previously that i am able to sense the aura of death. so am (forced) to see the longevity (or rather lackthereof) of a soul in this life. my last one was really strong and weirdly enough has opened me up to my other more difficult 'talents'. but TBH i have decided that 2011 is the year i stop hiding and work on it again (albeit with a more healthy attitude: life balance and all that jazz).

my latest cool talent that has started to come up again is premonition! YAY!! the best one so far happened a couple of weeks ago in the city. i was waiting with baby marta at the traffic lights to cross the road (we were walking, her in the pram). so as i was standing there waiting for the 'green man' to come on i had a clear premonition of a green car running the red. in the space of like, half a second, i had that vision, had the thought, oh i had better stay on the kerb a bit and wait for the car to pass). ANYWAY, being me, i laughed at my 'paranoia'. green man came up i took a step and then like in slow motion i stopped, pulled the pram in close to me and turned to look up as the green car came towards us. the woman who was walking beside me saw me stop and stayed with me (thankfully!), the car sped its way through without even a second glance thankfully missing all of us then coming to a screeching halt as the driver realised what he had done (poor guy, he must of been freaked out). the lady beside me looked me square in the eyes and said: 'wow, good on you for stopping' and gave a nervous laugh (if we had not of stopped we would of been pummelled). it was weird though, because as it was happening it was like part of me was not 'there'. so when the lady spoke to me, part of me was so confused as to why she was talking to me. and it took me quite a few seconds to realise that i still needed to respond. all i could muster was a brief smile and a shrug of the shoulders. she looked at me like i musta been on drugs

anyway, enough of my ramble; i reckon if you are feeling it come through and you like it, then go for it!

I've always just called this stuff instinct. I find certain people I am naturally more connected to make my 'instinct' stronger. I was waiting for my sister to get home from work before I called her a few days ago. Without focussing too much o it I randomly gave her a try just after 6pm. She said "freaky, I just walked in." By the way I have no idea when she finishes work, its always different.

I often call my mum when she happens to be either walking past the phone, or better yet, holding it for whatever reason. Lol she hates it. With both of my pregnancies I had dreams about them before I had a positive test. The first time was the spookiest because we werent ttc, and I wasn't late yet.

If I try to make a prediction though, I can't. I find it worka best if I just follow my instincts in everyday life and I'm usually led in the right direction. That's all I can think of for now just listen for those little whispers.
