How My Intuition Saved My Life

Years ago, I was passionate about volunteering with a shark research group. Our mission was to tag Whale Sharks while scuba diving around the world, helping to track their migration and birthing patterns. Our ultimate goal was to save these gentle giants from extinction caused by fishing and other harmful human practices. (Side note: Whale Sharks are now listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List and still face illegal fishing and death in ghost nets and debris.)

After several successful trips, an opportunity came up for a 14-day live-aboard expedition in the Indian Ocean. The moment I saw it, I jumped at the chance and paid the $1,000 deposit, even though the trip was eight months away. It was unusual for me to plan that far out, as my intuition usually guided me on much shorter timelines. But my love for Whale Sharks and my commitment to their survival drove me to take the opportunity.

I’ve always had the “Clairs” (Clairvoyance, Clairaudience, Claircognizance, Clairsentience) since I was a child, but I began to seriously listen to and develop these abilities in my mid-twenties after a transformative past life regression experience.

A few days after booking the trip, I woke up one early Saturday morning with a strong intuitive message: “You can’t go on that trip; cancel it.” I was startled and confused by the message, but the sense of urgency was undeniable. Despite my love for diving and my past positive experiences with the group, the Claircognizance “Clear Knowing” compelled me to act.

That evening, guided solely by this powerful feeling and inner voice, I emailed the group leader to cancel my participation. Even though I couldn’t provide a concrete reason, I explained that it was a strong intuitive feeling I needed to honor. The leader informed me that the deposit was non-refundable, and although it was painful to lose $1,000, I stood by my decision.

Eight months later, the Indian Ocean was struck by a devastating earthquake and tsunami that claimed approximately 230,000 lives.

This experience reinforced for me the importance of trusting my intuitive guidance, no matter how it might seem to others. I now fully honor my feelings, sights, sounds, and insights.

To connect with your own intuition:

1. Find a quiet space.
2. Close your eyes.
3. Place your hands on your heart and womb space.
4. Take ten deep, calming breaths.
5. Ask to be shown a time when one of your “clairs” tried to protect you.

Reflect on these moments and recognize which form of intuitive communication resonates most strongly with you. As you quiet your mind and develop these skills, you’ll navigate a life filled with adventure, insight, and profound connection.

Here are the intuitive abilities you might recognize:

Clairaudience “Clear Hearing”
This ability allows you to hear messages or sounds that others cannot. You might hear words or names out loud, or as a voice within your mind that feels like your own thoughts.

Clairvoyance “Clear Seeing”
Clairvoyance enables you to see images or symbols that are not visible to the physical eyes. This includes visual representations such as symbols or names, appearing either as physical manifestations or vivid images in your mind.

Claircognizance “Clear Knowing”
This ability involves gaining knowledge or insights without relying on logical reasoning. It feels as if information, such as names or important details, suddenly appears in your mind with a strong sense of certainty.

Clairsentience “Clear Feeling”
Clairsentience allows you to sense and feel guidance through your emotions and physical sensations. You might experience physical sensations or emotional responses that provide insights into names or their meanings.
