Intuition in Relationships

Love is blind, or so they say. But is that really so? Are we so enamored by the object of our affection that we cannot see what or who is really there? Or, in the blindness of love, do we forget logic and reason in the hope that we have found everlasting happiness?
Is there such a thing as just knowing that this is the one for you? Could intuition play a part in bringing people together?

I for one have no doubt that intuition plays a significant role in how relationships are formed, and how there is a deep knowing in people that leads them into places of the heart. Sometimes in hindsight we think to ourselves that we must have been mad at the time, mad for jumping so quickly, mad for loving so intensely. But when it happens we don’t think logically. We just know that this is the one and this is where we belong.

But what is this knowing? What does it mean and where does it come from?

In the thousands of readings I have done in my psychic lifetime, I have “seen” many what I call “Past Life Re-enactments” in which people are drawn together through the past life energies which are still flowing between them. If we take what science says to be true, and energy cannot be destroyed, only transformed, then it makes sense to believe that the energy of relationship is also subject to that truth and keeps flowing in a certain form between people until it is transformed into something else. In relationship terms this is called resolution.

Why do I hang on?
The changes that resolution brings can release people to move on or shift into a deeper and more lasting flow. Intuition also plays a part in deciding whether or not resolution is possible in a particular relationship situation. The intuition that leads people to each other can also be the intuition that tells them it is time to leave. But it is much more difficult to know when to leave if there has not been a resolution of a kind that satisfies the mind and heart. That is why many people often hang on and hang in there by a thread. Letting go is a challenge at best and when fear and anxiety are operating it is very difficult to differentiate between intuition and wishful thinking in order to hold on longer, even for security sake.

Intuition cannot operate very effectively when there is fear and anxiety. Learning to relax is the key that allows intuition to flow.

The philosopher Plato reputedly called intuition the highest form of awareness, a sense of things that goes beyond the conventional parameters of consciousness into a space that is best described as knowing. Intuition in relationship tells you about the other person through feelings and a sense of who they are, not from any prior or learned knowledge about them. That sense of knowing includes feelings that embrace the other person in a cocoon of love that allows you to go beyond their faults and failings and see the real person. That sense of knowing takes you beyond the boundaries of ordinary understanding into an acceptance that can seem foolhardy to others looking on. It makes us more tolerant and forgiving, and less judgmental. It allows time to heal the differences when they occur. It makes us more open-hearted to loving more deeply.

Learning to trust intuition
It also opens your heart to being hurt more deeply if things do not work out the way you intuited in the first place. You can even blame yourself for being too intuitive, too sensitive, for being a fool. But what I have discovered in my journey is that when intuition and harmony go hand in hand, then the practicalities fall into place much more easily.

So a rule of thumb to guide you on the path of an intuitive life is to observe when the obstacles are giving you a message to wait look before you leap, and when the practical events and circumstances are falling into place in such a way that you know that harmony is on your side and supporting your intuition to manifest in the best possible and practical way for you and all concerned.
