Intuition Saved My Life

I am fully back from my trip and meeting for in-person readings again.

It was a nice vacation, more relaxing than adventurous, which is what I needed. 

Sometimes the trip brings the unexpected adventure to you though. 

One late afternoon, Anna, Ashley and I went for a walk alongside a river to see some waterfalls. 

I have been on countless jungle hikes in my life. I lived in Taiwan and have travel through Southeast Asia, India, and Central America. 

In all of those many walks, I have rarely been anxious. 

This time, a quiet yet firm voice in my mind began saying oddly specific things.

“I don’t want to be the first person on the trail.”

“I hope there’s no snakes.”

When I briefly looked at my phone while walking, I heard a strong, “Put your phone down and watch the path”. 

These did not incite panic, but rather centered me to be more aware. 

Less than 100 paces after these thoughts began, I walked up some steps and shrieked. 

Anna first groaned at me, “Oh my gosh, what are you freaking about, Jenna?”

I pointed at the brown snake coiled up calmly on the warm afternoon cement. 

“Oh”, she responded, “Yeah, okay, that is a good reason.”

Ashley asked if we could walk around it. Anna was clear that it was not worth the risk. She felt it looked like a dangerous breed. 

I was clear that I was not about to get near it without knowing for certain what kind of snake it was. 

We turned around and drove to a different trailhead. 

Upon returning home, our photo (see below) verified that this was a fer de lance (Bothrops Asper) known as “the ultimate pit viper” and the deadliest snake in Central America. If you don’t die, the bitten body part might get necrosis and need to be amputated. 

Since the snake was not in defensive mode, we were safe enough and it actually is a pretty rare sighting.

I am in awe of that voice in my head. How did it know? 

I have been saved by listening to my friends on the road when they have shared moments of unexpected pause. The more random their thought, the more I heed their bravery to say it out loud by following their guidance. 

While some are more natural at this, I have experienced this as a learned skill that I have developed and can help you hone. 

This is not about constant perfection, I still have accidents that I don’t see coming, naturally. Since I have practiced developing these skills though, more and more I will ponder as I clean up the broken glass about how something quietly warned me ahead. The more I heed it, the more delight and relief I earn. 

This is about gaining a tool that can help you in love, business, health, and can potentially save your life. If Einstein valued it so highly, perhaps we all should.  

If this intrigues you, sign up with me for an intuition coaching session. You already have the inherent skills, so let’s help you gain closer connection to them. 

If you prefer to make use of my developed gifts, sign up for a personal tarot reading with me instead. 

If you want to develop intuition with a classic art, take a tarot reading lesson with me. Bring a friend with you for the same rate. 

Or have that friend join you for a Tarot Together session where you split the hour. 

Welcome a skilled psychic to entertain your friends with the art when you hire a tarot or palm reader from Portlandia Fortune Tellers. 

Now my goal is to use my intuition to figure out a healthy work-life balance from a new starting point. I hope you can get some good R&R yourself this weekend.

Trust Yourself,
