This is the second part of a two part post about being a highly intuitive person with a very strong rational mind. If you haven’t read the first part, please start here.
To say working with Dr. Norm Shealy changed my life would be a gross understatement.
The moment I read in intuition pioneer Carolyn Myss’s books of her partner I knew he held the keys for me. Incomplete spinal cord injury was so rare at that time. And it’s been following my intuition that has saved me many a time since The Big Bang when no one else knew what was happening in this body. In fact, finding out that there was a neurosurgeon on the planet that actually co-pioneered the science of medical intuition was something I could barely believe. The only doctors I had dared talk with about what I knew wanted to send me to write me off or give me a pill.
It took me just days to locate Norm and schedule an appointment for a week at his clinic. In one of many, many synchronistic connections with this giant in the movement to make medicine more sane, I found when I arrived that he had experienced a similar spinal cord compression in his own body just a few years before we met.
Thank God for books. Before the internet they were my best way of connecting with new ideas.
I also found Deepak Chopra’s Center for Mind Body Medicine in San Diego right after it opened in 1993 through his wonderful books.
And Dr. Judith Orloff’s life story as an intuitive, as depicted in her book, Second Sight was invaluable. This practicing psychiatrist author’s experiences have changed the way many in that field address intuition.
Modalities such as guided meditation, visualization and mindfulness have been my most successful “medicines” in my own journey to stay healthy. And my intuition and my guides have been there every step of the way, too.
Through it all I’ve employed several “covers” to working with my now exquisitely honed intuition. First as a designer who interpreted her clients’ visions, I’m told, uncannily. Then as a communications consultant helping businesses define and express their identities. And always, my most relied upon skill was my intuition. It was like breathing.
And now I don’t need a cover. That’s the “gig” that is up. Walking right into the center of what really matters to me and openly living it is the only way for me now. What my gifts – and my life, really – are about is sharing what I’ve learned the hard way. I’m ready to share, with those that will listen, the wisdom that my intuition and my spiritual guides have instilled in me for over 20 years.
With each step I’ve taken towards better health my passion for helping others has grown. And I love combining this passion with my business skills and my intuition.
It’s nice to finally come “home” to my real work.
