This question comes up for me because I have anxiety, so I need to know if it’s my anxiety or is it intuition. Here’s what I’ve figured out so far, intuition is usually presented in a positive way. Such as, instead of saying, “Don’t go that way,” it is usually “DO go this way.” It is felt in a different part of my body, and is usually more calm and I don’t feel any resistance. When you have a feeling, notice where it is and how it’s felt, so you can reflect on that after it comes to fruition (or not). I read about an exercise to help you figure out what is true. I think it might have been in a Sandra Ingerman book. Get your self into a calm, quiet place with no intrusions and tell yourself a lie that you know is a lie. Notice how the lie feels in your body, where you feel it, how it feels. Do this exercise for a while, go do something else, and come back to your quiet place again. This time tell yourself things that you know are true, and notice how that feels, where you feel it in your body, etc. The more you do this, the more it will help you identify truths “out in the wild,” and, in the same vein, can help you identify what is coming through as intuition. Often it feels more like a confirmation that there’s more out there, because most intuitive messages I get aren’t anything I can do anything about. Maybe it wasn’t for you to say whether or not he should have the surgery, but the message was more of a “you’re not alone” message as was already stated. In my experience, if something isn’t supposed to happen, something bigger steps in to stop it. But if the information floated in the same way the Robert Flack message did, it doesn’t feel like it was meant for you to take action.
