I have a GUT FEELING… I am going to die

I have said these words before. Many times actually.  What I didn’t know was how many people have said those same words before and after my 37 Seconds.
From doctors to physicists to moms and military personnel, MANY have told me, in private, about moments they have experienced which defy logic.  Things they knew would happen, based on nothing else but their “intuition.” Some are spooky and others are downright scary.
This week I was the keynote at an Obstetrics and Gynecological conference in PA.   I talked about INTUITIVE OBSTETRICS. Yes, there is such a thing.

I met an obstetrician who came up to me after my speech and said, “I have had my intuition affect me in ways I cannot begin to understand.”  He then told me when he was an Air Force OB, he would deliver many babies on the base. Taking cat naps in between deliveries.  One day he had a dream he would deliver a baby with “no arms, no legs and no ears.”  He woke up startled, never going back to sleep.  Hours later he delivers his patient’s baby. The baby had no arms, no legs and no ears. 

“Holy crap” is right!

How can he compute what he saw before it happened? He cannot.  Dr. Kincheloe, an OB in Oklahoma City wrote a letter to Dr. Larry Dossey, (NYT Bestselling physician of the book Oprah made famous Healing Words). Kincheloe talked about how he has had a gut feeling his patient was going into labor BEFORE anyone or the data told him. It has happened HUNDREDS OF TIMES.  With the fear of being ridiculed by other doctors, both personally and professionally, he wrote an open letter to Dr. Dossey about his assessment on why OB’s are connected to their patients.
“Pregnancy is a very special time in a woman’s life, when she is changing on a physical, emotional and spiritual level.  It is a time of vivid dreams, strong feelings and intuitive events. The bond between the obstetrician (HEALER) and the pregnant patient is unique in medicine”.
He goes on to say:

“YOU are taught that medicine is a field of science based on hard data and research.  But is there a place for “gut feelings” and the trusting of one’s intuitive self?”

I PERSONALLY KNOW THERE IS.

I think it is long overdue to be talking about this out in the open, but every single one of us has our process.  And who am I to judge? I just wish more people would publish their experiences so others can find them and know they are not alone.  I had searched for another story like mine when I was seeking answers, but I couldn’t find anything.  And believe me, I looked every single day. Multiple times a day. Opening up the conversation of SENSING something is wrong (based on nothing more than a gut feeling), might save lives.  In fact, scratch that, I know it will.
The fact that a story of spirit and determination continues to garner the attention of the medical community makes me so excited for our future doctors. They are wanting to learn how they can be even more compassionate than some already are. I know not all doctors are alike, but the fact remains, if their continuing education includes more speakers and cases like ours, they will be listening to their patients and their own gut feelings differently.

 

If we all listened to our intuition and spoke up when we sensed something is wrong, imagine what you would be prepared for or could potentially avoid by taking it seriously.
I would LOVE to hear your experiences. Imagine how many people you could help by validating their own experiences.
Please share and share and share.

  • You are such a lightning rod. You and your book have brought to the forefront a subject that has been hard to believe. As people read about AFE and your horrific experience they and the médical professionals are speaking up and are being paid attention to. G-D bless you and your family. Keep up your great work.
