Mothers Intuition

In Washington State, a mother recently woke one night to the sound of
her one-year-old daughter coughing in her bedroom in the northwest
corner of the house. She got out of bed, went into her daughter’s room
and without too much thought scooped her up and took her into her and
her husband’s bed. Five minutes later a huge Douglas fir toppled by the
high winds of a storm landed on and demolished her daughter’s small
bedroom. Was this just a fortunate coincidence or could the mother have
somehow intuitively known to move her sleeping child?
When I was in grade school, I remember walking home on certain test
days, with the impending feeling of dread. My mother always seemed to
know if I had a test that day and would look me in the eyes as I entered
the house and ask me how I did on it. I could not casually tell her that
I did not have a test or that I did great when I did not. She would know
the truth. I sometimes wondered why she bothered to ask.
Mothers and fathers, but especially mothers seem to have the ability to
know their children with uncanny accuracy. There is an unspoken
connection between a parent and child that bypasses logic and reason.
This is commonly referred to as mother’s intuition and it can empower a
parent with almost phenomenal abilities. Yet, it is as prevalent as the
common cold.
Our children come into this life with special talents and gifts and a
unique purpose. Not only can our intuition help to keep our children
safe and healthy it can also help us to support them in achieving their
highest good. By becoming more aware of how we receive intuitive
information we can sharpen and utilize our innate inner wisdom.
We all receive intuitive information, usually without even knowing it.
Our intuition like our sense of smell, taste, sight, hearing and touch
helps us to interpret and understand the world that we live in.
Intuitive information manifests in four general ways, through our
emotions, thoughts, and physical body and through our spiritual
awareness.
Parents often feel their children’s feelings without being aware that
they are doing so. Our children are sometimes not able to put into words
their need for comfort and connection. Mothers can have an uncanny
ability to know when their children need a warm hug, a quiet look of
reassurance or a soothing boost of confidence.
We may pick up intuitive information though our thoughts and spontaneous
insight. We may know without knowing how we know. My mother was very
good at this. She always seemed to know what I was doing and with who.
We may receive intuitive information through our body. We may have a gut
feeling of uneasiness or we may have a feeling of excitement and
confidence when our child wants to pursue a certain activity. Perhaps
Tiger Wood’s father felt this when his young son first picked up a golf
club.
We may also receive intuitive information about our children through our
dreams and unexplained sudden insight. When I was pregnant with my
daughter I had two names that I liked and I could not decide on which
one to name her. I had a dream one night where she in no uncertain terms
let me know her preference.
Quiet reflection and meditative silence can help us to become more aware
and further our intuitive connection with our children. Intuitive
awareness can be increased by simply taking a few minutes during the day
or evening when you can be alone, closing your eyes then calmly
breathing and relaxing. When you feel relaxed imagine an image of your
child. Use your imagination. Do not worry if do not get a clear image of
them. Some people are more visual than others.
You may simple feel or sense their presence. Imagine that you are
connecting with your child’s inner soul wisdom and send a message to
this energy image. Ask them what they need from you for their highest
good. Then become aware of any thoughts, feelings, sensations in your
body, or spontaneous insights that you receive. When you feel as if you
have received as much guidance as you can at this time, imagine your
child and your entire family surrounded by love and white light.
