Almost everyone has experienced a moment when they knew something was going to happen.
Like the time your friend just popped into your head, then the next day, totally out of the blue, you bumped into her in the street.
What most people don’t realize is that premonitions are coming to you regularly, perhaps every day. It takes an expanded state of awareness to receive them all, and it comes from being really present.
Most of the time we’re up in our ticker-tape minds. But if we stop, b-r-e-a-t-h-e, and listen, we will begin to sense an inner guidance system that waves us away from danger and beckons us towards joy.
Here’s how you can spot and follow the premonitions coming to you.
Premonitions come in all shapes and sizes — from good news to the absolute worst news, from the momentous to the mundane, from screaming loud to a whisper.
What all premonitions have in common is that they are giving us a sense of coming attractions, so we can decide in advance if we want to attend.
If we pay attention to the scary premonitions, they can absolutely save our lives or the lives of those we love. Mothers, especially new mothers, often notice a rise in their intuition, and their ability to sense danger before it happens. This is our specie’s adaptive behavior that has enabled us to survive.
If we pay attention to the positive premonitions, we can make happier choices and become more fulfilled.
We can also help the world around us because premonitions are not just about us. They are about everyone whose lives will be affected whether or not we heed our premonitions.
If we pay attention to the simple tiny little everyday premonitions, we will have even greater awareness about the direction of our lives — like going through life with 20-20 vision instead of the usual myopia.
Premonitions can come through dreams or hypnagogic experiences when you are half awake. Some people say they don’t dream. Not true. You dream every night. To remember these hidden gems of truth, keep a dream diary next to your bed and train yourself to write down your dreams. You’ll discover a rich inner guidance system.
A client nearly lost a job offer because she was waiting to hear from a company she preferred. Then she had a dream in which she over heard the preferred company’s CEO telling the HR director that he wasn’t going to hire her, even though in reality he was stringing her along. The vividness of the dream was the clue it was a true premonition. The day she accepted the offer she had in front of her, the preferred company revealed they’d hired someone else. Good thing she listened to her dreams.
Some premonitions are powerful and noisy and others arrive in a whisper.
One very loud, even screaming premonition happened to a student of mine when she had left her young children at home with her husband while she went grocery shopping. While waiting at the check-out, she suddenly became aware there was a fire at home where her children were playing. It went off in her head like an alarm. She did not hesitate. She abandoned the groceries at the check-out, rushed out of the store, sped home and burst into her house screaming to her surprised husband that there was a fire in the playroom. It turns out that one of the children had draped a hot electric light with paper causing it to ignite.
These loud premonitions are unmistakable and leave little room for dithering. When they go off in your psyche, you are going to feel very uncomfortable unless you act.
More commonly, premonitions are gentle, more subtle signals which, added together, can guide you to happiness and steer you away from disappointment. They are happening in your nervous system throughout the day, so pay attention to your senses.
Notice, for example, when you are smiling about a future event – your smile is your sign. Notice when enthusiasm surges within you about an impending activity. The word enthusiasm is from the Greek “to go with God, or “the divine flowing through you.” The Greeks knew that surges of happy positive feelings are signals to continue in that direction. Notice when you feel goosebumps or tingling — these are often signs that truths have been revealed. Or if you feel tears of joy – also signs of truth, and love.
When I first heard the sound of my husband’s voice over 30 years ago, it was on the phone, and something deep and wondrous surged through me. I was captivated in a way I’d never felt before. I tried to ignore it, but the power of the feeling was unmistakable.
Conversely, notice what makes you frown or tired or feel dread. And behave accordingly.
If your back aches and when you think about cooking Thanksgiving dinner, and you suddenly feel tired, you may be taking on too much of the task for your own, and everyone else’s well being. Consider getting guests to help with the meal until you find you are smiling and looking forward to it. They will also feel more engaged, raising the energy of the whole event. But maybe it wasn’t the cooking that was making your back hurt and the fatigue overwhelm you. Maybe it was the prospect of hosting your grumpy Uncle Jerry. Maybe it is time for you to have TG without the company of someone who drags you down.
Remember these premonitions are not only about your own reaction to an event, but the overall energy of the situation. So by arranging your choices so that they bring a smile rather than a frown to your face, you will be raising the happiness levels for everyone involved. So by heeding your body’s warnings, you can make it better for everyone, including your grumpy uncle.
So don’t overrule your premonitions to please someone else, not Uncle Jerry or anyone. Sometimes, the consequences can be worse than just having a bad time.
In Gavin de Becker’s book The Gift of Fear, de Becker, a personal security expert, interviewed people who’d been assaulted. He asked them if they had felt or noticed anything before the attack that gave them a clue that something bad was going to happen. Almost everyone remembered noticing signs of danger, clues something wasn’t right. But some of these people, to their regret, allowed themselves to be talked out of their concerns. One woman’s perpetrator told her it was silly for her not to let him help her with her groceries into her apartment. He cheerfully wouldn’t take no for an answer. Her submissive personality deferred to his dominance. This is denial, which de Becker calls “the enemy of safety.” So many of the victims he interviewed had talked themselves out of their sense that danger was lurking.
A few weeks before this writing, a rising American baseball star, Jose Fernandez of the Miami Marlins, died in a tragic boat accident with two friends. A third friend, Will Bernal, shared Facebook messages between himself and one of the victims, Eduardo Rivera, the two had exchanged just hours before the accident. Both had a foreboding about the prospective outing. Fernandez had been upset over his girlfriend and wanted to ride around with friends later that night on his boat. While you might argue that it wasn’t premonition but common sense not to go out on a boat at night, the dread that Bernal felt was more than common sense. In the messages Bernal later posted on Instagram, he had tried unsuccessfully to dissuade Rivera from going on the boat with Fernandez that night. “Yo please be careful, bro,” he messaged. “Keep Jose close to shore.”
Neither was smiling about the impending boat ride; Banal said that both had a bad feeling about it, but Rivero did not want to say no to his superstar friend. Rivera overruled his better sense to please Fernandez. Had he obeyed his psyche’s warnings, it’s possible that not only would he have been saved, but Fernandez too might have stayed home that night. Thus premonitions, when heeded, can help many lives, in this case, it would have save tens of thousands from grief and loss and altered the course of baseball history.
Whether your premonitions are positive or negative — urging you forward, or waving you away, the most important thing to remember before overriding your premonitions to please someone else is that your premonitions are telling you what’s going to be best for all involved.
I’d love to hear about your premonitions – the ones you heeded, and how they helped you.
The womans question was on social media btw as well as my response. I had a very disturbing vision a few years ago about a house fire fatality of a toddler and possibly his teenage uncle, brother or cousin trying to save him. I felt the family who experienced this were second cousins on my dad’s side and it would occur in Va or NC. It was even stronger than the hurricane visions and made me weep. Haven’t been able to verify this one though. I’ve sensed death before but didnt know who so I didnt know who to warn. Last year I dreamed about the number 319. I know it means something just don’t know what.
Johnny, Thanks for your questions. Use your premonitions with good judgement and above all do no harm. They are meant to help you and others. So I would suggest that you make a study of your premonitions to determine which ones come true. That way you can determine if and when you can trust them.
I was working on about April 24 2017 when I saw almost a transparent screen in front of me of a hurricane in the gulf. Something told me Texas hurricane Sept 20017. The emotion was so strong that I made a note of it in my phone. A few months later a woman asked if anyone had ever had premonitions that came true. I commented ” you mean like the hurricane that’s going to hit Texas in sept?” The hurricane hit several days before Sept. I’ve had many more of these in the past. What are you supposed to do with this information when it comes?
One more thing, when I say move in on him, its all in the etheric. I do not do physical. That is for others who are doing that type of work. One overriding theme is of concealment. What we see and hear out in the media is not what is going on. But this timeline is the optimum one and great things are instore for us all in spite of appearances, political parties and even Trump. Boy is he flawed…
Jean, way back before Trump got elected, I was ready to move psychically on him. My friend who sees interdimensionally, told me to back off. I was waved off… LOL. To not worry about Trump because he was being managed. That he would not be allowed to start WW 3. I heed those things and is one of the reasons why I will look at those around him. I have communicated some of that to you already via email. It tells me he has an important role now to play in this play. I fail to see it. I could move in on him but will not. Last time we communicated, my friend told me that same thing. It does stop me from that but it does not stop me from looking him up at the Universal Library which I’ve been Ok to research him on. I did find out some of Trump’s past lives and now will tell you. He was one of the original ones that was kicked out with the dark one. He was Nero the Roman Emperor, King Henry VIII, Benito Mussolini and now Trump. There were others not so well known but the theme is the same, a tyrant. So I really don’t care much from him. I know he has dementia and we could see more of this in his behavior. I concur with you that he is an agent of Russia and has committed treason. If you look at his face, he looks bloated and not well, angry all the time. I will let you know more as I find out but it will not end well for him as in his past lives. He has not learned his lessons well.
Pablo, thanks for posting your vision. I was doing a little timeline reading of Trump on a paper napkin this morning on an airplane with an hour of sleep. Although I accidentally left the napkin on the plane I do remember the visions which were powerful.
In the immediate future I saw four daggers pointed downward when asking to see how he was doing. The daggers remind me of the Senators tuning on Caesar.
Then when I looked forward a little more, all I could see was a pair of claws hanging from a ledge. I couldn’t see the whole person although I knew it was Trump. But it reasembles the diminuative monster in the children’s story “Where the Wild Things Are.”
Jean, Yesterday 8/22/2018 @ 6:00 AM EST, while watching the Morning Joe TV show and seeing Trump’s tirade at his rally, I heard a loud psychic CRACK! Not a snap but a crack like when a big tree breaks a large branch. That was followed by the strong feeling that has gone permanently off the deep end and is very dangerous. It is the end for him and he knows it.
Michael, Thanks for posting and asking a question. The best way to get a response is to post this in the Forum under a section called Understanding prediction and Prophecy. I’m sure someone will weigh in. Here’s the link: http://jeannemayell.com/community/understanding-prediction-and-consciousness/
I have been astral projecting since age 10 and I do not understand why and how I am able to do these things, I also have esp capabilities how I do not know.. Like I can automatically say things that are going to happen before it does. I do tend to keep journals of my visions so when I see something that happens on the news and revert back to my journal it is the same incident.
Such as last October I had a dream that the U. S. was under attack by biological nuclear bombs just dropping out of the sky.. Or August of 2000 I had a dream about airplanes with people falling out of the sky. I had awakened terribly frightend and scared so I had written it down in my journal everything that happens in my dream except it felt like I was flying along side the plane observing, but I could not do anything but observe. I later looked it up and there it was in plain text (ASTRAL SPYING)…so after further investigation on the subject I later found out that while you are astral projecting you can and will see glimpses of the future. So I wrote it down and tucked it away because being in the military I did not want to tell my commanding officer about what I had seen, and that something major was going to happen I can feel it, because they would have reduced me in rank and kicked me out so I pretty much tucked it away.
I wound up moving from off base to on base losing my journal somewhere in Hawaii in kaneohe…a year goes by and I totally forgot about what I seen that was until I had gotten awakened by my wife at 0500 on September 11 2001 thinking I am almost late for physical fitness training, she rushes me into the living room as I see the white house on the news along with the twin towers burning and people dropping out of the sky.
All of a sudden a plane falls out of the sky right into the second world trade center. I then remembered the astral projection from a year earlier. I sat in awww from 0505 to 0630 when the base alarm sounded and I get a call from command to rush to the main hanger for debriefing because of the high threatcon level we were in. Well I felt kind of responsible for not informing news or my command of what was going to come…maybe they could have prevented 9 11 01 from happening lives would have been saved…. But I bet whoever found and read my green military journal in Hawaii probably have some serious questions right about now… I don’t think I wrote my name so I may be in the clear… So my second incident of astral projecting I freaked my wife out one night when she had awakened to see me jumping up rubbing the wall because I left my body in my sleep I vibrated through the wall to the next apartment to have seen a woman laying in her bed as if she was dead, and what scared me the most was the same black entity I always see when I astral project standing next to her bed.
When I project it feels as if I am starting through a peephole as if I have just one eye. So when I seen the entity it saw me and I jumped right back into my body. What was scary is it that it’s eyes where hollow, scientific portion of it that I noticed that when I astral project.. People look like regular people. But the entities I see are just vibrational beings. I try to see their true forms but it pisses me off to see that they vibrate so freaking fast it’s if they are in hyper speed or something. Long story short! I told my wife what I had seen while astral projecting, I told her the woman two doors down just died, my wife wakes up looking at me delirious.. 15 minutes later she hears sirens outside, runs out to see what happened being nosy, the neighbors daughter told her that her mother just passed away..
My wife comes back in looks at me then cries freaking out saying I’m into black magic freaks out and disappears she is scared of me even till this day.. I still project and have visions I guess I am just happy to be on a site where there are others like me. You see I didn’t ask for this, I can’t control when I astral project it always happens when I least expect it.
It toys with me… When I try to do it willfully it don’t happen.. But whenever I just go to sleep weeks or months later. (BAM) I VIBRATE OUT OF MY BODY.heavy vibrations then a blast as if I was hit by a mac truck then there I go floating around .. can anyone explain this. Please
I have had premonitions for 22 years. But more than that. I “feel” spirits with me. They are mostly kind, but sometimes they scratch for attention. I know, sounds insane. I do not talk to them, and vice versa. They mostly want me to acknowledge their presence. As for the premonitions, I only get them when I am connected to them in some way. I get nothing for myself. When my family passes, I only get about 1 day to minutes before. And no, they are not always ill. I have only had my premonitions work to my advantage a couple times. May have just been mothers intuition, but either way, that was the only advantage. I can recall at least 8 deaths I (don’t know the word for what it was) just knew were coming. I don’t see or dream them, I just feel them. This sense is a curse.
This came by email from Laleh before I wrote this post and was the inspiration for this post: “I came across your website and am very intrigued by you and your gift of prophecy. I have had prophetic dreams and sometimes visions, or warnings (I ‘hear’ them) my whole life. Sometimes they are detailed visions of horrible disasters, like a plane crash and body parts hanging in the trees (it actually happened the next day in all the horrid detail I saw), or a bridge collapse (that happened the next day too) and other times they are mundane things like a vision of food I’m going to be presented with. Other times, they are clear warnings, like when I was told urgently that my daughter was going to die and I needed to pay attention. I did pay attention and, after watching her like a hawk for a day, noticed subtle problems with her balance and speech and took her to the ER only to find she had a brain tumor that would have killed her within 2 days (that was 4 years ago, she’s about to be a college student :-). Anyway, those are the clear ones. Most of the time, I can’t tell the difference between prophecy and my own anxieties. And, these things come to me randomly, often when I’m not paying attention and not expecting them. Is there a way to gain some control of prophecy? As in, is there a system (either through meditation or spiritual guidance) to make it more useful?
I wish I was closer to come to one of your classes, but appreciate any resources or guidance you might have for me.”
REPLY: Thanks for sharing all this. You saved your daughter’s life with your intuition. The warning system worked. And your question is so important so thank you for asking it.
Gaining an understanding of when your feelings are anxiety versus when it’s prophecy takes a lot of practice. I’d like to think about the answer to this question and answer it on my website so others will benefit.
For now, here are some of my thoughts:
1. Intuition happens at an unconscious, present moment, often sensual level. That’s because intuition is an energy awareness that can only happen in the present moment. So most of us mask our intuition with thinking – worrying, and being analytical, which is a necessary faculty, but more based on data and analysis the nervous system’s stimulus-response from past conditioning. So people who’ve been traumatized are more easily triggered with fears that are not intuitive because they are based on the past. So to be intuitive, it’s important to be aware of how your senses are reacting to the world, rather than your mind.
2. Dreams are an exception because when you are dreaming, you are in a deep unconscious state of awareness when you’re not distracted by thoughts. So dreams can be prophetic. They can also just be your mind and intuition sorting out the events of your life, which is another kind of intuitive processing, but not prophetic. I know when I’m getting prophetic dreams because they contain a kind of vividness , like you’ve had, and they don’t seem to be about me. I dreamed about the female member of parliament who was killed in a kind of terrorist attack and put it up on my website two weeks before it happened because I just knew it was prophetic.
