This has happened to me a few times mainly when my business card is about to be pulled out of a business function raffle. The first time as they were about to draw the prize I thought “oh no, I’m going to have to get up on that stage in front of all those people!”, A bottle of Moet was worth the uncomfortable feeling of the whole room looking at me as I walked up on stage.The next time I actually told the drawer of the prize to pick my card out (not that he was looking when he did) I knew that he would. Maybe that was just the powers of suggestion. It’s very cool when it does happen.

Horse racing.. Quite a few times I’ve known which horse is going to win. A few years ago (this is only a once a year event) a guy whom considered himself quite the punter had been giving me dud tips all day. Finally I’d had enough and took the form guide from him and told him I’d give him the winning tip on the next race.  I told him, he placed the smallest bet on it he’d made all day.. Guess what. It won.

This year again I was with another  “expert” punter. After 2 bad tips from him, I took the 3rd one to the auto betting machine knowing it wasn’t going to get anywhere. I looked at the machine and one horse caught my eye. I bet on it (only $5) and of course it won. Did I get into trouble for not passing on that info! On another race I had a friend convinced no 18 was the winner. I told him it wasn’t even going to place and that no 1 was going to win. He ignored me and I won $228! Then the next race he asked me what was going to win.. My intuition was shot. It’s almost when I try and force it, it runs and hides.

I think the best advice I can give you is remember that feeling of “knowing” vs trying to know. I’m still learning.

The gambling thing. If next year I win big (over $300) I plan to donate the money to charity so there’s no universal karma from winning money through intution. Although that raises an interesting question regarding money vs. spirituality that i’ll cover shortly.
