About the Author

Nigel is an intuitionist with a passion for exploring the many ways intuition and energy can guide our lives. He specialises in psychic readings using portrait photographs, working intuitively with each image to provide a deeply personal and individual reading.

Alongside his psychic work, Nigel has a keen interest in remote viewing, telepathy and psychometry, and regularly explores these areas as part of his ongoing spiritual development. He is also the author of the forthcoming book Memoirs, Murders & Mind Games, which explores the relationship between the conscious and subconscious mind, sharing his own experiences of developing intuition and learning to sense the world in a different way.

Over the past few years, Nigel has had the privilege of reading for hundreds of people. Rather than offering generic readings, he spends around an hour working privately with a portrait photograph, allowing his intuition to guide each session and provide a detailed, personalised reading. Clients are encouraged to include something meaningful within the photograph, enabling Nigel to reference it during the reading and provide even greater depth and accuracy.

Nigel's blog contains excerpts from Nigel's forthcoming book, Memoirs, Murders & Mind Games.

A Lifetime of Learning

Over the last five years my life has taken an unexpected turn that has catapulted me into another totally different direction. A direction that had been a lifetime in the making, but one I only realised was the right path very recently.

I’ve worked in security for 20 years and this is counter intuitive to what I teach and lecture here. Having spent something in the region of 40,000 hours ‘working the floor’ at the local Government Agency, I’ve been lucky enough to witness many, many people of all walks of life. I’ve gotten to know them, to understand them and I’ve listened to their amazing life stories. I’ve had the opportunity to watch and analyse human behaviour far more than the average person. I have so much to give, so much to teach.

Over those years, I learned to feel my way through incidents and threats. It was always a balancing act between the Agency, the public and my security team. As a team leader, and previously as a Close Protection Officer (bodyguard) for the rich and famous, I honed my greatest skill: listening to my intuition. Even today, I still have to keep certain details private, including my surname. Intuition has played a huge part in my working life and in developing this acute understanding of the skill.

Every subject within my book is connected to energy, the perception of energy, the understanding and the science and beyond of energy. It transforms everything. Without it we would be nothing, literally. I am here to show you, guide you and educate you on energy. I am an Intuitionist that senses every form of energy under the sun and beyond, welcome to my world.

What is Intuition?

We use intuition on a daily basis, most of us ignore this vital sense that comes in all shapes and forms. It can be subtle, it can be pestering, it can be to the point. But it is always self-serving and always has your back. To ignore this supersense is to ignore it at your peril. It only ever wants what's good for you. Intuition is a fickle mistress, a fickle temptress of fate, the more you plead and claw at it to help you, the more it deserts you.

So, what actually is intuition? Intuition is a feeling, a sensing, an inner voice talking quietly or even shouting to us in our mind, it's a blunt, general feeling or a very precise sense, a knowing without any evidence to the contrary. It's a thought, a picture in your mind's eye, a sudden sense that all is not well. A general understanding of a situation or person before our conscious mind makes a decision. Intuition often comes from a completely different perspective and often surprises us. That is how we know Intuition has visited us.

Why is Intuition so important? It's here for guidance, to keep us safe, to look out for us. Why do we rarely listen to our inner voice? We all lead and live busy lives, we are taught to do as we are told, and not to think and sense emotions. Emotions get in the way of work, emotions show that we are weak. We are taught to listen and obey, by governments, businesses and scientists. Afterall if it's not science yet, then it doesn't exist, right!

We Are Energy

Think of yourself as a mobile phone, you are a transmitter as well as a receptor. We give out electro magnetic vibrations and we receive them. Everything we experience within this life is a product of vibrational energy and we directly or indirectly pick up on this energy. What kind of human beings would we be if we couldn't sense energy or emotions? If we couldn't tell if someone loved us or hated us? We would probably be knocked down the first time we stepped out into the road. It's about energy perception or to put it another way, energy reading.

If running our lives full tilt is expected and demanded of us, then we are running away from insights into our own survival, insights that were handed down to us from our forefathers, generations ago. Their wisdom and guidance would be lost in one generation, as we isolate ourselves from nature as much as possible. Their collective knowledge would count for nothing. We live our lives glued to our phones, never once giving a thought to energies of the universe. We are so far out of kilter that this is now the new normal. Everything about energy is taken out of our hands. We have lost the understanding of energy, the creation of energy, the transfer of energy.

Information Overload

If Intuition doesn't come running when you shout for it, then how do you get important help from it? How do you get a quiet little nudge when needed? The answer is not to expect Intuition to show, the answer is to slow your life down and come off social media… Yes, shock horror! Do you really have to end social media use? Well, yes and no, but at least drastically limit the use of social media.

In as little as 30 minutes using this technology, you inadvertently absorb huge amounts of data in a short space of time, this is information overload. With so much useless data it doesn't allow your subconscious mind a chance to breathe, and that's where the magic comes from. That's where all our intuition is produced. By slowing down mentally, reducing drug and alcohol intake, and by starting to live a more intuitive life, intuition can start to find itself and us.

Returning To Our Natural Instincts

Gone are the days of collecting firewood, lighting a fire and just daydreaming whilst watching the flames flick around and up the chimney, listening to the wood burning and the sensations of the pitch-dark night outside. Everything we do takes us away from this primitive yet sensitive lifestyle and instincts. We look down at people who exist in this way. Why is it that we want to be so far away from our natural instincts? Don't we owe it to ourselves to work with and develop these vital skills, the skills we are so eager to disown for a cheap hit on digital games? Is it because it can be hard work? That we must be disciplined? Or that occasionally we might have to second guess ourselves and sometimes be left wondering?

Unfortunately, it's not an exact science and it doesn't just fit neatly into a pigeonhole. We must find ourselves first before we find intuition. That's the real hard part these days. When life and situations get tough our intuition should kick in and point the way for us. We are nothing if it doesn't. We should be in a place to rely on our instincts and make great decisions on the back of our insights but we’re afraid of having absolutely no confidence in ourselves and our subconscious mind! What does that tell us about ourselves? We need a life where we can live in and around these skills. They are given to us to complement our everyday thoughts. If we distrust these wonderful gifts then in the end and in the future, we distrust our soul, our being, and our actual nature.

Quote from Nigel Rosenbaum

Final Thoughts

Intuition comes from the soul to protect us, to show our higher self the best path and the best way forward. There’s been many times when all I had left was my intuition. When you have Intuition on your side, you make better life decisions. Your intuition can help you make better personal decisions, better financial and medical decisions and it affects every facet of our lives.

Given the choice, would you choose to be guided by this all-consuming omnipotent force of nature, this all-powerful form of energy? It's a gift that keeps on giving. So let your Intuition walk side by side with you in life for life. You won't regret it.
