We’ve all had days where we feel less intuitive. The hits aren’t coming, the flow is slow, or 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 came 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 over 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, and 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, instead is 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 had my intuitive awakening when I was in my thirties, and had serious misgivings about next steps. With research, therapy, and mentors my eyes opened. I also began documenting encounters, no matter how slight some seemed. This record keeping has been incredibly helpful in my growth, especially in those early days of doubt. What went from a series of sporadically intense events grew into a more firm pattern 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. We are spirits having a human moment, and sometimes we need to be grounded. 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. You prime your aura and energy to attract more extrasensory experiences. Use your notebook regularly. And as your record grows, this magnetism increases. It becomes its own manifestation tool, one that is easily accessible and always ready to use.
Here’s how to begin your intuitive record:
- Get yourself a notebook, your art supplies, or favorite app of some kind.
- 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.
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 back it up or say, “that’s my granddad you are talking to!” Within the other memorable experiences category, I may not be able to validate what I saw through another, but there is no doubt that something happened.
For example, 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 a verifiable experience. All three of us saw her at the same time. Years later, an outside party shared that we had seen a well-known energetic impression of “the bun lady,” known for the low bun she wears in her brown hair.
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 and ripped a hole in the black backdrop. The action was cartoonish as she popped her head through the emerald green colored crack (it was very much like a comic book, or 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 unverified 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.
Eventually Great Aunt Betsy passed, and a year later her sister followed. In their afterlife they are always together, sharing messages and advice. They were the ones who 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 that journal. 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!
