Trusting Your Biological and Spiritual Intuition
At the core of this discernment is the power of human intuition, a complex interplay of sensory data and subconscious processing. Older adults often possess a refined “gut feeling” developed through decades of life experience and social interaction. When a presence feels warm, familiar, and filled with the specific “personality” of the deceased, trust that internal validation. Science increasingly acknowledges the role of neuro-cardiology—the idea that the heart has its own “brain” capable of sensing subtle environmental shifts.
If you feel you are sensing a loved one, the most effective response is gratitude and acknowledgment. This can be as simple as lighting a high-quality aromatherapy candle, saying a prayer, or spending a moment in reflective journaling. These acts of “ritualized memory” strengthen the emotional bond and provide a healthy outlet for grief. Conversely, if an energy feels heavy, the best course of action is to “fill the space” with light, music, and positive affirmations. This is a proactive form of environmental wellness that ensures your home remains a place of rest.
