Medical Intuition & the Medical Intuitive: A Day in The Life of A Medical Intuitive - Part 1






Medical Intuition & the Medical Intuitive:
A Day in The Life of A Medical Intuitive - Part 1

Most articles on medical intuition and medical intuitives address how to get certification, natural gift development, and awakening the intuitive you. This article presents the human side of this ability.

Traditional medicine is becoming more integrated with alternative medicine (thank goodness). Depending upon the open mindedness of the health care facility and it's staff you receive different welcomes.

My real name is Brent Atwater. However when I walk into Intensive Care, my name is "who the H…is that?" Moving on to the patient's room, visitors ask and call me "who's she?" As the attending healthcare provider whispers out of the side of their mouth to the immediate family, "who's that, and why is she here", I gain yet another identity.

If asked to leave the room, the family immediately states, "she's with us", so I'm not escorted out. Interesting, during this entire process, I don't have a name. So don't think you're going to arrive in a healthcare facility and be given a beautiful brass badge that says Medical Intuitive. Let's also dispel the fact that no one but the family and client really cares what you do except to get information for their benefit or to learn more about your skills, mostly out of curiosity.

In more progressive hospitals I get to be a "medical intuitive", and no one makes a funny face and tilts their head saying "a what?" However, the curious come out of the corners. "You do WHAT?" is the standard reply when you explain that you can look inside a patient's body like a human MRI. Immediately they say, "what do you see in me?" I never answer that with a parlor trick. Instead I explain that it would not honor them or their issues to do a quick "focus and find." To perform Kodak moments for the benefit of justifying your competency is, in my opinion, neither professional nor contributory to the profession's legitimacy.

Some medical intuitives claim to smell disease and disorder. Think about that…… not your pleasant aromatherapy input. Unless you learn how to manage your abilities, i.e. put up and take out of your gift portfolio briefcase what is needed when you need it, medical intuition can negatively permeate your human being. Walking around on a day-to-day basis smelling disease is NOT pleasant.

And then there's standing in the line at the post office everyday or during the holiday rush. There's Bob with heart disease shining thru his next day air, Sally holding the hand of her son who is about to get a sore throat, and Martha at the counter with kidney failure on the way. Selling stamps is Marvin who was abused as a child and his counterpart wrapping a priority mail envelope while manifesting breast cancer. This input definitely makes your standing in line more unique that others, but on an ongoing basis is not fun and is rather intense. You have to consciously shut out the information you receive, both to honor the soul who is in your sensory path, and to honor your sanity! Controlling your ability and monitoring when you use it, will create less personal burn out.

For Carolyn Myss and others who have paved the way for those of us that follow, our hats are off to each of you. Medical intuition and medical intuitives have come a long way. Whether you are naturally gifted, heavily certified, or somewhere in between, there will still be a time when your client say, "wow, you guessed exactly what the doctor said" OR, "how'd you know this would be on the MRI?"

In our next segment we'll address: "A Day of Consultations". It starts with your client saying, "Let me tell you what is wrong with me!" Hello?????
