We’ve all had days where we feel less intuitive. The hits aren’t coming, the flow is slow, and we’re a bit disconnected. This can foster doubt: am I really intuitive? Is any of this real? Did I imagine that feeling? A simple way to combat the psychic doldrums is through intuitive record keeping. Intuitive record keeping is a helpful practice I’ve turned to again and again, no matter how far along I am on my intuitive journey.
Write it down
Many years in the past, the common refrain floating through our summer cottage was “write it down!” This practical advice from Grandma and her identical twin was said in response to tales of the weird, wondrous, or woo woo. Pouring over the camp log there are stories of bats, strange flashing lights, and swamp gas casting an eerie green glow throughout the forest of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula; brief blurbs hinting at the fantastic interwoven in the fabric of daylight activities like blueberrying, birdwatching, and who caught last night’s fish dinner.
The twinnies knew that time washes out details, no matter how interesting or astonishing the experience.
The truth is out there
Case in point; in the mid to late 90’s, my sibling and I witnessed multiple night UAP activity over Lake Superior. We ignored Grandma and Great Aunt Betsy’s advice. As a result we’re left with a mere shape of the experience. What could have been crystal clear if we’d written it in the camp log is instead etched in eroding memory. Alas, there are no dates or times, no specific recall of who was with us, the trajectory and interactions with the UAP light, and how long each experience lasted; it’s all melted away.
Lesson learned.
I experienced my intuitive awakening as an adult, and had serious misgivings about next steps. Events in my life at that time were heavy, hard, and emotionally draining. Research, therapy, and mentors were part of the puzzle. I also began documenting paranormal and extrasensory encounters, no matter how slight some seemed. Record keeping was the missing piece in my growth and path forward, especially in those early days of doubt and fear. What was once a scattering of sporadically intense events developed into a bright constellation of extrasensory experiences. I could no longer deny that something was out there.
So what does keeping an Intuitive Record do for you?
It begins to build up your confidence. As your entries grow, you are reminded that YES, you are intuitive. YES, you have unique intuitive abilities. And YES, you will always be intuitive. This is really important for the times where things feel shut off, and for those periods where you need to be more embodied in your day-to-day experiences. It’s important to remember we are spirits having a human moment, and sometimes we need to be grounded firmly in the 3D. A record is something you can come back to when you are ready to open the channel again.
Energy flows where intention goes. As you continue to build, you are signaling to the Universe, the Divine, your Spirit Team, to whomever or to whatever is out there, that you would like more of THIS. As you use your notebook regularly, you prime your energy to attract more extrasensory experiences. And as your record grows, this magnetism increases. The notebook helps you become your own best manifestation tool, one that is easily accessible and always ready to use.
You begin to see patterns. If you keep seeing faces as you drift off to sleep, or receive visitors who have passed, you are likely a clairvoyant medium. If your hands heat up around crystals or tarot cards, you may be a clairsentient healer. Patterns can highlight strengths, areas to develop, how you impact your abilities and how energy impacts you, and where portals and other hot spots exist in our 3D. Your record provides a plethora of useful information for you to explore.
Here’s how to begin your intuitive record:
- Get yourself a notebook, your art supplies, or favorite recording app.
- Begin listing out/drawing out/talking out your accurate intuitive hits and experiences from over the years.
- Add to the record as new ones occur.
- Review your entries often for patterns.
It’s that simple.
Writing down the bones
I like to categorize my record into verifiable experiences, and other memorable experiences. If it’s verifiable, someone else is part of the experience. They can verify it (“that’s my granddad you are talking to!”). Other memorable experiences may lack validation, but there is no doubt that something happened.
Verifiable experiences
The UAP experience falls under verifiable experiences because multiple witnesses were present. My sibling and I talk about it to this day. The time two of my friends and I saw a woman walk through a wall is also a verifiable experience. All three of us saw her at the same time. Years later, an outside party validated we’d seen a well-known energetic impression of “the bun lady,” (known for the low bun she wears in her brown hair).
Memorable experiences
An example of a memorable experience is when I went to the local hospital for an exam. It was dimly lit, quiet, and comfortable, and the tech was working close to me. As I relaxed I only saw the dark behind my eyelids, until a woman punched through the center of my vision, ripping a hole in the black backdrop. The action was cartoonish as she popped her head through the emerald green colored crack (hello breaking the fourth wall). She had short dark curly hair, and even though she only showed me her head, shoulders and arms, I knew she was petite in life. She was wearing a small gold cross and I knew she was the tech’s mother.
While this was a fairly strong psychic experience, it is categorized as memorable in my records because I wasn’t about to broach the situation with someone I didn’t know. I didn’t know the tech, I didn’t know her story, I didn’t know when her mother passed, or what their relationship was like. (Although I did get the impression they were very close.) While unverified, it was an extremely vivid and intimate experience, and one I had forgotten about until I was writing in my intuitive record when it all came bubbling back up to the surface.
Just begin
These are some examples of bigger experiences, but subtle and small is often how Spirit works-particularly if you are just beginning your intuitive journey. Maybe you saw a lot of feathers after you asked for a sign of feathers from your Spirit Team. Write it down! Maybe you smelled your Grandma’s perfume when you were reminiscing about her. Write that down too.
Add to your journal when you experience anything extrasensory to build up your intuitive tracking and manifesting muscles, and when you recall something from the past. Don’t worry about dates or really specific details if you are back tracking. Include as much or as little detail as you’d like within each entry.
In time, your intuitive record will remind, surprise, and delight you when you read over its contents. It will remind you of your wondrous woo experiences, wash away your doubts, and help you to attract more extrasensory encounters. And it will always be waiting for you, even if you need to take a break.
As we all must go to on to our next grand adventure, eventually Great Aunt Betsy passed, and a year later her sister followed. The twin bond was and remains strong with these two. In their afterlife they are always together, keeping the intuitive fires lit. They were the ones who posthumously encouraged me to step away from public school teaching and into healing, a cherished visitation I noted in my intuitive record.
Do you have a memorable intuitive experience? Because now is looking like a great time to start your intuitive record. In the wise words of the twinnies, “write it down!” and follow the thread, because there are likely encounters you may have forgotten, and many more to come!
