The Intuition Story Challenge was a blast! The stories were awesome and I had a great time reading them. I just love the amount of passion and enthusiasm there is in the community for personal growth and intuition.

So THANK YOU all for participating and sending in your stories

After much time and consideration, we’ve finally narrowed it down to the top 15. And trust me, it was no easy task.

What The Winners Are Receiving:

If you forgot, all 15 will be getting the Silva Intuition System as a prize. It’s one of the best (if not, THE very best) intuition training programs ever developed. Just have a look at what some of the students of the Silva Intuition System are saying:

I would definitely recommend Silva Life System. We all need help with the problems life sends our way and it’s wonderful to have something we can rely on not only for help but for living a much more confident, happy life.

By using the lessons and techniques , your life will never be the same. It will be better and keep getting better the more you use it.

So much better than reading “how to” books. The CD’s are great in that you can replay them, select any one for a particular exercise to use. You can keep them for years to go back and review.

How My Intuition Gave Me The Biggest Deal Of My Career:

Hi,
I was reading a book on business growth.
An idea popped out of my mind : go and write an email to the friend of your brother.
I did it. She replied and asked me if I could do a search assignement for one of her client. I called the client .
He gave me the assignement. We found the perfect match.
It is one of the biggest deal of my career .
Wow ! I should listen to my little voice more often.

How The Silva Method Saved My Life:

I am a Silva Mind Control Graduate from the late 70s. I have always had a great deal of intuition, but SMC really honed it for me. I worked downtown in Chicago at the time at a law school. One night I had finished my work and I was debating whether or not to go to the gym or go home. An actual voice spoke to me in the empty office. It said, “Leave NOW. Take the 5:30 train.” It was accompanied with a sense of urgency so I did exactly that and just made it on the train. I found out later when I got home that the train I was going to take had derailed and fallen to the streets below and that many people were injured. My husband and friend also worked downtown at the time and they were both late getting home as they had rushed to help until the paramedics arrived, looking through the wreckage, as they were sure that I was on that train. Why? Because I never varied my times leaving the office. They knew me, and they weren’t surprised that I had this one time taken the earlier train — and possibly saved my life!

How Intuition Kept Me Safe And Sound:

This happened about 20 years ago. My wife and me had to take a flight from Sofia (Bulgaria) to Istanbul (Turkey) but I had a very bad feeling in my gut and did not want to take this particular flight. So I did everything to delay our departure to the airport, and when we arrived there the flight we should have been on was just taking off. I remember my wife being upset and yelling at me that the delay was so unnecessary, and we just lost several hundred dollar’s worth of tickets. While she kept yelling at me the airplane we should have been on crashed down! An explosion followed and all of us were watching and screaming in the airport building that evening. The airplane crashed 10 km outside the airport and most of the people on that flight ended up dying there. I felt so relieved and grateful that we did arrive with delay at the airport, but I also felt very distressed about all those others that died.

How My Intuition Led Me To The Love Of My Life:

When I was 23 years old I got a sudden notion to hitchhike across the United States (I’d never hitchhiked — ever — before) by myself. During a ride between Denver and Omaha, we drove past a blue van with a couple in the front seat. My intuition told me that was my next ride. Several miles later I was dropped by the side of the interstate to try for my next ride. I declined several offers to ride until I saw the blue van. I went crazy waving my arms to get their attention so they would see me. The van pulled over and the front door opened and they asked me if I wanted a ride to Omaha. I said “yes I knew you were my next ride.” We became great friends during the hours it took to drive on to Omaha. A week later, they introduced me to a very good friend of theirs. We fell in love immediately and after only three days we moved in together. He became my husband. That was 35 years ago. I have been listening to my intuition ever since.

How My Intuition Kept Me From A Terrorist Attack:

23d October, 2002. Moscow. I was supposed to participate in the last day of our group’s meeting performing a song. This meeting was hold in the Dubrovka Theatre building, almost at the same time when the “Nord-Ost” Musical was on stage. I prepared myself carefully: repeated a song, chose an outfit, put a make up, etc. I was all set to go, but somehow just couldn’t get myself out of house. I’ve changed a dress, had a cup of tea, talked on phone.. And during all of this time I just didn’t feel like going there. I tried to talk myself into it saying: performing this song is important, you’ll have fun and things like that. But it didn’t work anyway. At the end I gave up and stayed at home.

Two hours later, watching the news, I was terrified to hear that the Dubrovka Theatre had been taken over by 40 terrorists. During the musical “Nord-Ost” almost a thousand people were taken hostage and were freed three days after, but about 130 persons died in the rescue operation. It’s difficult to describe all the feelings during those days: grief for the hostages, relief for not being there and so on. But one thing is sure: I’ve been listening to my intuition ever since.

How Intuition Can Improve Your Health:

I am an acupuncturist and was referred to a a man who had been losing about 1lb a day for 60 days, generally, I was told he was not overweight to start, however he lived in another state. He had gone through a myriad of tests and nothing was found. He was somewhat skeptical of intuitive work, but felt it was his only hope. So I agreed to take a look and asked his name, address and age. I tapped into his energy and found he had a few things going on, one was nutritional, one was emotional (female, mother figure and age that issue happened). I then spoke to the man and talked him through an emotional elimination series on the issues that showed u. He also took a nutritional supplement that he was showing a need for. 3 days after taking the supplement, he had gained one pound, which means he had not lost 3 pounds! And the person that referred him told me a year later, that he was still doing well. A wonderful outcome in the face of uncertainty on his part.

How Intuition Saved My Sons:

After moving to a large apartment complex, I located ads in the laundry room for an at-home-mom offering to babysit for working moms. This seemed ideal to me since I could just walk my two boys over to her apartment and then leave for work from there. I arranged to have her start watching my sons the next day. I headed off to work the next day after dropping the boys off and while driving down the freeway I felt a nuzzling in my ear to go home I tried to ignore it because I would be late for work. Not to be put off this nuzzle turned into a very loud mans voice in my left ear yelling, “Go home… go home now.” I turned around and went speeding home to find my sons sitting under a blanket they stretched across the patio rails burning books. The flame was less than an inch from the blanket I would have lost my sons that day if I had not listened to my intuition and sped home.

How My Intuition Prevented A Car Accident:

It was about 2:00 a.m. I sat in my parked car, stopped at a red light at a large but now deserted intersection. I considered just crossing the intersection and driving on, as there was no one to see me. But instead I waited. The light finally turned green, only now I suddenly felt frozen, as if I couldn’t move my foot off the brake. I heard a clear voice in my head say, “Stop!” It shocked me enough that I looked around for the voice, and I didn’t move for several seconds. Then a car shot over the hill from the left and sped across the intersection. There was no way I could have seen that car ahead of time. If I had stepped on the gas when the light turned green, this car would have plowed into me at about 70 mph or more. For several seconds I sat with my hand at my throat, stunned that I had dodged a horrible fate. Then I took my foot off the gas again. Once again I heard this inner voice. Once again it ordered me to stop. I waited. Another car shot over the hill from the left and crossed the intersection, perhaps in pursuit of the first car. There is no doubt in my mind that I would be dead now if I had not heeded that inner voice that had warned me to stop — twice.

How My Intuition Helped Me Find My Missing Daughter:

About twelve years ago (age of no mobiles), I was traveling with my family on a bus from Salem to Bangalore in South India. Midway through the journey, as the day was turning to dusk the bus stopped for a short break. As both my children (daughter 4 years, son 2 years) wanted to use the rest room, my wife asked me to accompany them, as she could keep an eye on our bags. As I was attending to my son, helping him with his pants, my daughter had finished and rushed off, without my knowledge, eager to join my wife. On reaching our bus with my son, I discovered my daughter was not with my wife and panic set in.

I jumped out of our bus and to my dismay, discovered that there were dozens of buses parked there. I started running frantically climbing into the buses and shouting my
daughter’s name (Aditi) aloud. After a short while, I realized precious time was running out. I stopped, closed my eyes, took a few deep breaths and prayed deeply. In my mind’s eye I could see my daughter inside a bus which was leaving the area. Sure enough, as I opened my eyes, I could see a bus pulling out and leaving. Without a doubt, I ran for my daughter’s life and jumped into the moving bus. She was on board looking confused and almost in tears. It all ended with a happy reunion for my family.

If it was not for that moment of intuition, I might have lost my daughter for good and spent the rest of my life in repentance for my carelessness.

How My Intuition Saved A Boy’s Life:

I was a foreign student in the Hawaiian Islands living on campus at the UH@Hilo. I was driving back to campus from a visit to KONA. Suddenly I had this feeling of utmost urgency to get back to campus fast. so picked up speed the closer I got to Hilo I became agitated. I sped into the dormitory car park screeched to a stop jumped straight out of the car running fast suddenly from my right a young boy lying down on his skate board comes flying in front of me nearly tripping me. I stepped on the back of his board sending him flying thru the air. In the next instance a jeep comes to a skidding stop completely smashing the skate board. My friends were screaming and so was the boy who was rubbing his head after landing in the garden. They couldnʼt believe Iʼd driven at the distance &speed stopped jumped and ran as fast just to step on a skate board to save a boys life. The feeling was so extraordinary.

How My Intuition Saved My First Born:

When my oldest child was an infant, I was doing dishes one evening at the kitchen sink. From where I was standing, I could see where she was lying in a cradle, although I could not see her. I suddenly felt very strongly that I should go check on her. I brushed off this feeling as “new mother anxiety” and thought I was being silly since I had only a couple of dishes left and there was no apparent reason to stop what I was doing. The cradle was nearby, moving, and she wasn’t fussing or crying. There were only a couple dishes left and I would be finished in a minute or two anyway and could check on her then, but I just couldn’t wait. I just had to leave the dishes and check on her NOW. I stepped over to the cradle and found the diamond shaped handle of a rattle lodged in her throat and immediately pulled it out. She took the biggest breath and made the biggest gasp for air that I had ever heard from an infant. Her air had been cut off and she could not have made any noise. I resolved to act immediately upon any feelings I had regarding my children from then on, regardless of whether I had obvious reasons to or not.

How Intuition Kept Us Safe And Predicted A Match Made In Heaven:

After a lifetime of experiences I know… Listen to your intuition! Iʼve been following it from childhood. Like the time I was about nine years old and was awoken from sleep in the middle of the night with a sense that my sister and I had to leave the room which we shared. We did, and it turned out that there was someone who was attempting to break into our home through OUR bedroom window.

Then there was a time when I was about seventeen. My sister, a friend and I were traveling in a New York taxi cab and for no reason I put my hand out and told them to
brace because we were going get into an accident. A few second later, another car hit us from the side, but we were all ok except for being a little bruised. Of course, not all “intuition” is an omen of something bad. Once I invited a childhood friend and her “new” boyfriend to spend a weekend at our island home. On Sunday evening as we took the boat ride to the mainland, I pulled out my camera and took the first photo of them together. At that moment I felt that this was going to be their wedding gift, so when my friend asked to see the picture, I told her exactly that and never showed them. About four years later, on their wedding night I got a call after midnight from a weeping bride and groom. They had just opened my wedding gift — Their first photo together. (And yes, they are still very happily married.

How My Intuition Prevented Suicide:

I’m an academic at a big university. One of my students didn’t submit an assignment, but didn’t contact me or ask for an extension. This is not particularly unusual as probably about 1/15 don’t submit on time (it’s a tough and competitive degree with a heavy workload). When you’ve got around 150 students and so many competing demands on your time, it’s just not possible to chase up every student who doesn’t submit on time, and I usually don’t. They’re adults and have to take responsibility for themselves. I didn’t know the student in question but, for some reason which I can only put down to intuition, this time something made me notice his paper was missing and it kept worrying me. It kept popping into my mind, so I tried emailing the student. When he didn’t reply, I contacted admin and got the student’s work and home phone numbers (like many of our students, he has to work part-time). He hadn’t turned up for work for a few days, but eventually he answered his home phone. I asked the student to come and see me. When he did, we spoke for a while. He didn’t say he was unwell but, even though I don’t know anything about medicine, I was still worried and I persuaded him to walk with me to see someone at the Student Health clinic on campus. Sometime later, one of my colleagues told me that the student had confided that he’d been on the verge of suicide at that time, and it was only because someone cared enough to follow up and intervene that he survived. This happened nearly two years ago but it gives me chills every time I think about it. What if I hadn’t ‘felt’ something was wrong? What if…? Thank goodness for intuition.

PS.the happy ending to the story is that the student got medical help, and he’s now healthy and ready to graduate.

How My Intuition Kept Us Away From The Tsunami Tragedy:

We had been looking forward for three years to taking a Christmas vacation with the youngest four children in Phuket in Thailand. Getting my husband and that many kids together was not easy, but that year, 2004, we could all make it. Four times I went to make the reservations for the lovely accommodations right on the beach. Each time I had to leave the travel agents feeling sick and shaky until I left. felt bad telling the family it was off because I didnʼt have a ʻgood feelʼ about it, but most of us gathered to have Christmas in the family home and had a good time. Until boxing day, when another child phoned us urgently and told us to look on the TV. There we saw the tsunami tragedy and the rising death toll … on the very beaches we would have been on.

How My Intuition Found A Missing Person:

There was a high profile case in my community and I used the Silva Method to sense what had happened. I felt the subject was south of my location, in the dark and was uncovered so to speak. I also came up with the name Michael. They found this individual south of my location, had been under snow and was now uncovered. The name of the individual that has been associated with this case has a middle name of Michael
