October Intuition

There’s something about late October, here in the Midwest, that feels beautiful, vibrant, deep, and cozy all at once. Usually, you can feel the veil thin around Halloween but this year, I’ve felt it all month long. Have you?

Many cultures say this is the time when the veil between worlds grows thin but the veil isn’t only between the living and the dead. It’s also that invisible layer between what we know and what we feel. You may notice it in your dreams, in synchronicities, deja vu, unexpected thoughts that seem to manifest unusally fast, etc.

This season invites us to listen differently, not to the loudest thoughts, but to the gentlest knowing.

A Practice for the In-Between

Sit quietly. Place one hand on your heart, one on your belly. Ask silently:

“What am I not seeing that wants to be known?”

Wait for a sensation, an image, or a phrase to rise. It might be subtle: a tingle, a memory, a single word. If you feel or sense nothing shifting, pull a card.

Then notice whether the card reflects something you did feel, sense, or know just before. This often happens when we’ve dismissed the subtle offering only a moment earlier. Try this each day this week and trust what unfolds.

The more we listen, the louder intuition speaks.

Our intuition is a natural sense - as real as sight or sound. We’re simply not taught to honor it or lean into it. Science tells us we consciously perceive only a tiny fraction of the information available to us, some estimates say less than 1% of the sensory data our brains receive. The rest is processed below awareness - in our bodies, our instincts, our dreams, by the subconcious.

So when you feel something without knowing why, it’s perception working on a deeper frequency. Now is the time to trust it. The unseen isn’t far away, it’s just waiting for you to listen.
