One Pilot’s Gut Feeling And What it Teaches Us About Manifesting
Folks… I’m not really feeling it. Those were the words passengers heard last April as they sat on the runway in Los Angeles, ready for takeoff to Hawaii.
Their American Airlines captain had just been cleared to fly after earlier engine trouble. But something in his gut said otherwise.
Oil pressure in one engine was trending upward. A fuel filter replacement was already scheduled after the plane returned from Hawaii.
“They said the plane is good to go,” he told the passengers, “but I’m not going to leave the ground if I’m not completely certain we have an airworthy aircraft.”
The flight never left the gate. It was a major disruption for everyone on board and yet instead of groans or complaints, the cabin filled with applause 🤩
When you’re manifesting something you want, whether it’s a new home, a soulmate relationship, or a big, beautiful business leap… your intuition is your co-pilot.
It’s the voice that says, “This feels right” even if it’s not logical or “Something’s off” even if everything looks fine on paper.
In my own manifesting journey, I’ve learned intuition isn’t always convenient.
It can tell you to pause when you want to move, to say no when everyone’s cheering for a yes, or to take the long way around when you’re craving a shortcut.
Every time I’ve trusted my intuition (even when it made zero sense) it’s protected me, guided me, and often led me to something far better than my original plan.
And the only way to catch those intuitive whispers is to give them space to be heard… to create enough inner stillness and safety so those nudges rise above the noise of fear or overthinking.
It’s one of the biggest reasons why I like to start my day with 1 Healing Breath. It helps me clear the static and tune into a calm, clear inner frequency where my intuition speaks the loudest.
Here’s a fun, little experiment to try this week…
Before making a decision (big or small), pause, take 1 Healing Breath and ask yourself:
🌟 What feels true here?
🌟 What’s my gut telling me in one word or feeling?
And if the answer isn’t what you expected? Trust it anyway.
Because the right “no” can sometimes be the most powerful “yes” to the beautiful future you’re manifesting!
