The power of intuition : Trusting your instinct about people

There are circumstances in which we encounter individuals for whom, without explanation, we just cannot stand them. It may be in the way they behave, the way that they speak or even in the gaze into which they look at us. There are occasions when you can't speak of them, but your soul disagrees. I have felt it before and it is an experience I cannot, will not, ignore.

There was a doctor I once visited when I was feeling sick. From the moment I stepped into his office, I felt uncomfortable. His tone was sharp, and he didn’t seem interested in listening to what I had to say about my symptoms. He looked impatient and spoke in a way that made me feel small, like my concerns didn’t matter. I didn’t trust his advice, and even though he gave me medication, I felt worse after leaving his office. It was not through the treatment; it was through my spirit felt wrong about him. I never went back to him again.

It’s not just medical practitioners, though. There's a woman living on my street who sells groceries, and I try not to shop at her unless I have to. I don't know why, but I can't stand her attitude. One day, I needed something urgently, and she was the only one who had it. When I got to her shop, she was rude, not just to me but to another customer as well. Whenever we asked about the prices she snapped back at us as if we were upsetting her. It made me even more uncomfortable around her. Then I decided that I would rather walk a long way to get to another shop than get anything from her.

Sometimes it need not be anything the other person does directly to you. There are individuals whose energy seems wrong the very first time you see them. There's a guy down the street that I can't seem to escape. He has never done anything to me personally, but every time I happened to see him, I get a feeling of not being comfortable. He is a figure wih a permanent expression of utmost seriousness, and he has the effect of one of those people who are hard to approach. My feeling is that nothing connects with him, so I stay clear of him.

I think it’s important to trust your instincts about people. There are times when your perception of feelings might be untrue and that person could be a really good person. However, at other times your gut feelings are the protection that other beings have from bad energy or bad circumstances. I learned to heed my spirit when it tells me to stay away from a specific person.

Not everyone will understand why you feel the way you do about certain people, and that’s okay. It have nothing to do with hate or to wish them ill but it also have to do with safeguarding your inner peace. Life's is too short to live with people who are Numbing you and unnesesting you. Whether it’s a doctor, a neighbor, or someone you see every day, it’s okay to distance yourself from people your spirit doesn’t agree with.
