How Did I Know That?

Investigating Mother's Intuition

By Dr. Laurie Nadel

Pages:  1  2  3  4  5  6  

Such dreams are what I call "intuitive knowing with precedent." In other words, you have acquired information through your five physical senses and your intuition processes it in such a way that you experience that "sudden, immediate sense of knowing ... without the conscious use of reasoning."

However, in traveling around the country talking to people about intuition, I have come to see that it is not that simple. As a frequent guest on call-in radio shows, I hear about many different types of intuitive experiences: d諠 vu – the feeling that you have lived through an event before and you know what is about to happen; synchronicity – an intrusive thought or song about someone you have not seen in years precedes that person showing up in your life all of a sudden; and precognitive dreams that really come true. In these examples of intuitive knowing, you cannot logically explain how an individual previously acquired knowledge or information about an event that had not yet occurred.

A Mother's Intuition
There is a universal intuition that belongs to the realm of mothers:

"My 8-year-old son was fine when I dropped him off at school, but I was almost at my office when I suddenly turned my car around and drove back. I found him sitting in the nurse's office with a fever of 101. The nurse had been calling our house, trying to reach me." – Dana M., 32
