Like most mothers, I feel a deep connection to my son. A few years ago, I experienced “mother’s intuition” at its best, in a weird and wonderful way.
My son, Sam, was attending college in Boston and called to say he wasn’t feeling well. What started out as a bad cold progressed to what seemed like a nasty flu. He went to a walk-in clinic, was prescribed antibiotics and a cough suppressant, and told to take the medication and come back in two days. I spoke to him on the phone after he got back from the clinic. He was going to take his first dose of medication and go to bed. Since he was under the care of a doctor and on medication, he was confident that he would soon be his old self again.
A few hours later, I felt a strange need to meditate and send some “healing energy” to my son. This was really weird to me. He had never done anything like this before, and he didn’t know where the impulse came from. While I was dabbling in meditation, I had never tried to use it to send energy to anyone. It sounded pretty silly. But there was the compulsion, sitting in my head (at least I thought it was in my head; I found out later that it actually came from my heart). Oddly enough, I decided to listen to this natural inclination.
I began to meditate and visualized Sam standing in front of me, looking at me. In my mind, I put my hands on his head and began to massage his scalp. I hoped that these efforts would help him sleep really well so that he would wake up feeling better in the morning. In the visualization, he leaned into me and placed his head on my shoulder. I continued to massage his head and his back, returning him to an upright position because it was easier to massage him that way. But Sam kept leaning into me and putting his head on my shoulder. This happened quite a few times during the meditation, so I finally gave up and continued massaging his head and back from this position. After about 20 minutes of visualizing this, I got tired and drifted off to sleep, hoping that I would get some restful, restful sleep.
Meanwhile, a few hours after talking to me on the phone, Sam took his first round of antibiotics. Soon after, his world began to tilt and flash and he began to vomit blood. His roommate called 911 and he was rushed to the hospital by ambulance. Sam was experiencing a severe allergic reaction to the antibiotic he had taken. Completely unaware of his crisis, he was immersed in my impromptu meditation, sending Sam “healing energy” out of some strange compulsion he felt.
When Sam came home for Christmas two weeks after his trip to the hospital, he and I were talking about what happened. I remembered the visualization and was curious about the timing of the events. I didn’t mention the visualization until he had explained the timeline of his ordeal. I was shocked when he told me that he was in the ambulance headed for the hospital between 8:00 pm and 9:00 pm This was the exact time I felt the need to visualize the healing massage. It was him exact time He kept leaning into me and putting his head on my shoulder while trying to massage it!
There is a difference between thinking and knowing. When we think, we use our brain and this requires a low level of consciousness. When we know something, we use our intuition and this requires a much higher level of awareness. We think with our brain but we know with our heart.
Our hearts are in constant communication with us. That forever communicate. It never stops. But the messages from our hearts reach us in an intangible way. We cannot see or touch the messages, we can only to feel Prayed perceive them because they come to us outside of our reasoning process. The information we perceive with our hearts comes to us through an intuitive process. It seems somehow alone know things without knowing how we know.
When we learn to harness this knowledge, our hearts guide us in weird and wonderful ways, just as it did when my son was in crisis. While my brain wasn’t aware of his crisis, my heart somehow knew. The paramedics and doctors helped him physically and I helped him strongly without even realizing what was happening.
Not everything can be tested. Some things just have to be experienced.
We all have access to a deep intuition, especially moms.
To tap into your mother’s intuition, all you need to do is accept, trust, and act on the promptings deep in your heart whenever you experience them.
