Medical Intuition Online
Karyn Greenstreet "Intuition will tell the thinking mind
where to look next." Jonas Salk Within several months of our first online
intuition development class, we realized that we had built a significant
intuitive rapport with each other. This would manifest in many ways:
checking for new emails just 30 seconds after a person had sent one to
you without your knowledge, sensing when someone had a bad day while
simply sitting with them in the chat room, or knowing when someone was
having physical or emotional health problems by "scanning"
them while online. Because the energy information was coming so rapidly
and accurately, we soon added "medical intuition" to our
weekly intuition development class topics by popular request of the
students. Health care providers, from doctors to dentists
to psychologist, often have a built-in intuitive ability to sense energy
and health in their patients. Whether these practitioners are physically
with their patients, or across town, there is a connection that
manifests itself when needed. Many nurses tell stories of
"knowing" when a patient in a hospital needs their attention,
even before the patient calls them. Emergency Room doctors and nurses
often report relying upon intuition in crisis situations where it seems
knowledge and experience isn’t giving them the right answers fast
enough to save a life. Psychologist report knowing the "right"
question to ask a patient in order to bring about deep insight, even if
the topic of the question has never been discussed between therapist and
patient. Where once the western philosophy was to
separate body and soul, the new paradigm turns toward a new holistic
model where the body and soul can "speak" to a practitioner to
help increase health and well-being. Instead of using only intellect to
diagnose medical conditions, medical intuition is a more
multi-dimensional tool that takes into the practitioner’s training and
experience, and marries it with intuition and a full mind/body awareness
of the nature and cause of disease. In using medical intuition, there is
only one expert: the client’s body and soul. The medical profession is beginning to open its
eyes to using intuition as a diagnostic tool. As the Dean of Students at
Brown University once said, "What we are speaking of here, using
intuition in diagnosing, is the ‘Art of Medicine’ that has been
pushed aside for technological advances. It is time to bring it back
into the curriculum...to incorporate it into the training of our medical
students." Professional Medical Intuitives who are not licensed
health practitioners may not legally diagnose or offer cures for
disease. However, they often work closely with doctors and other medical
professionals, using their intuitive skills to assist in a full reading
of the patient’s situation. This form of intuition will often go backward in
time to find out the patient’s history and major life events that may
have be the basis for a current illness. Caroline Myss, for example, can
tell about small life events that happened many years ago that have a
bearing on the patient’s current situation. And remember, healing and
curing are not the same thing: a cure occurs when the physical
progression of an illness is controlled or stopped. But curing a
physical illness does not always mean that the emotional/psychological
stresses that contributed to the illness are diminished or
"cured". A Medical Intuitive can help to find the underlying
stresses so that they can be healed. Sometimes a dying person will not
be cured, but they heal their life and die in peace. If you turn your attention to a particular
person, you can "read" their energy and their well-being. This
may come to you in symbols or feelings or actual words. Sometimes the
message can be very specific ("The heart is weak") or you
might sense the flow (or lack of flow) of energy in the body. It isn’t
difficult to learn how to tap into your medical intuitive skills. It
requires knowing the process, then practice, practice, practice. Through
practice and experience, you learn to pay attention to the body and the
energy flow, without censoring, analyzing, or bringing and pre-conceived
notions to the session. Winter Robinson, the famous medical intuitive,
teaches an online introductory workshop in medical intuition. In the
beginning, you’ll start out scanning animals for health indications,
then gradually move on to people. You are only given the initials of the
people you are scanning, so you don’t even know if it’s a man or a
woman. This kind of anonymity of the patient allows you to come to the
session without any pre-conceived notions about possible situations.
Through repeated practice in online chats and remote viewing exercises,
both on volunteer patients and on your own body, you soon master the
basic techniques. You can visit Winter’s web site at www.winterrobinson.com. Medical intuition is just another form of
intuition, like psychometry or precognition. But there is a higher
ethical standard when practicing medical intuition, and the person
studying and using medical intuition should have the highest sense of
personal responsibility. This is not a parlor game for a Saturday night;
this can be an important part of healing the planet, and therefore
carries a commensurate weight. Medical Intuitives work with the body’s
intention to be healthy, and our energy field communicates these energy
facts, even when the patient is verbally saying something completely
different. As a Medical Intuitive, you must always tell the truth, not
just what the patient wants to hear. Whether you’re a nurse, a psychotherapist, or
a massage therapist, medical intuition can be one more "tool"
in your collection of skills, knowledge, and gifts to offer your
patients. As we progress in our society towards a marriage of intellect,
emotion, spirituality, and intuition, a holistic approach will become
the only approach to healing. Here is an exercise for you to try: This exercise uses both your knowledge of
chakras and your knowledge of auras to get 3-dimensional intuitive
information about a person. You can do this on another person, or try it
on yourself. If you are doing a face-to-face reading, have
the person stand in front of you. If you are doing this remotely,
imagine that the person is standing up. Starting at the top of the head, use your hands
or your intuitive senses to scan the front of the body, going slowly
from top of head to feet. What you are trying to sense is places where
the energy looks or feels "different". This different energy
can be: Warm/cold Dense/light Colors Textures Light/dark Make a note of where on the body the energy
feels/looks different, and write it down in your Psychic Journal. Go
over the body from head to foot several times to be sure that you sense
the energy differences in the same locations each time. Do the same scan on the back of the body. Write
down your discoveries. Go back to those places that feel different, and
try to determine which auric layer if affected. Start from about 36
inches from the body, working inwards. Is the energy difference in the
spiritual layer, emotional layer, or physical layer? Note down this
information in your Psychic Journal. Finally, interpret what you have seen/sensed.
Use a chakra chart or aura chart to construct a 3-dimensional
interpretation. For example, say that you sensed "dense"
energy around someone’s throat chakra, in the physical auric layer. It
could mean that they have a sore throat. If it were dense at the throat
in the emotional auric layer, it could mean that they are not speaking
their mind (which frustrates them), or that they have been arguing a lot
(which upsets them). In this example, ask the throat what this
information means. Copyright © 2001 by Karyn Greenstreet. All
