Alexa and I were hanging out with a couple of friends this past weekend. We were having a great time chatting about all kinds of things, when someone asked me if being a psychic medium meant that I always knew the right choice to make.
Suddenly the whole conversation took a turn. It got my friends thinking about how life would be if you always knew what was around the next corner. There were a LOT of questions:
“Does being psychic mean you never go the wrong way when you’re driving?”
“Is it impossible to play cards without knowing what’s in everyone’s hand?”
“Can you tell if you’re going to be friends with someone when you first meet them?”
And of course, the inevitable question…
“Wait a minute – do you know what I’m thinking right NOW?”
It’s easy to get confused about what being psychic really means. The answer to every one of the questions above is the same – “It’s complicated.” I’ve shared many times that while we all have a life plan and destiny, free will also plays a big part in how things turn out. And not just our own free will – the will of other people can spill over and affect us.
For example, two people might be meant to live long lives, but if one of them chooses to speed to work or run a red light, both their lives could be cut short or changed forever.
So, do I see everything and know everything that will happen? No.
Do I always make perfect choices because of my intuition…. Well, yes and no.
I don’t always make perfect choices, because I’m a human being. I get preoccupied, and I have biases and beliefs that influence me. If I’m in a hurry, or not focused on what’s going on around me, I can miss important impressions and signs. If I take the time to slow down and listen to my intuition, I never regret it.
I don’t focus on predicting the small stuff, I never read my friends minds, and I don’t use my psychic gift to “cheat life,” by peeking at someone’s poker hand or playing the lottery. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good casino. However, my Mom has always taught me to use my gift for good and never for the wrong reasons.
But I ALWAYS make it a point to check in with my intuition in these instances:
- If I’m committing to something that will impact my career, like writing a book or signing a contract for an event or television show.
- When I meet someone who has the potential to affect my family, career, or safety. They can be anyone from an uber driver to my sister’s new boyfriend.
- When it impacts my health or the health and well-being of my friends and family.
- If I’m going to do something that will have a long-term effect on my life. Buying a house, making an investment, adopting a pet. (Asking Alexa to marry me was definitely in this category).
If I take the time to listen, intuition will always guide me in the right direction, and it can guide you too. You may not make a living with it – but everyone has natural psychic or intuitive gifts that can help them make good decisions.
What is intuition and how can you tap into yours?
Intuition, or your sixth sense, gives you insight about things that are not clearly obvious. It’s that twinge in the pit of your stomach that tells you something is not right. It could be a sign, an internal voice, or a memory that pops up at just the right time.
Intuition can be your secret weapon that helps you to make better decisions in every area of your life. To make sure you never miss a word that your “inner voice” has to tell you, try these tips:
- Be mindful and aware when there’s a decision to be made. When you’re rushed and distracted, it’s easy to miss the whisper of your intuition.
- Ask for help. Just say the word to bring in all kinds of support – your guides, deceased loved ones, angels, and your own intuition will respond when you simply ask. And don’t forget to say thank you for the assistance!
- Tune into your body and your mood. Your mind and body sometimes give you signs that are well worth listening to. For example, if you always feel slightly sick and “off” when you see a certain person, maybe they’re a really bad cook – or maybe they’re not someone you should be spending time with.
- Learn to tell the difference between wishful thinking and real intuition. This can be tricky, but practice makes perfect. Be honest with yourself. Is it really your gut telling you that new guy is “the one, or are you just tired of being single?” Pay attention to how you feel when you’re making a decision about a person, job – or anything. Then after the fact, see if your intuition was right, or if you were using your own wishful thinking as permission to move forward.
So next time you’re at a crossroads, put your intuition to the test. Check in with your gut, hunches, that little voice inside – whatever you want to call it, and keep track of how often your intuition is right or wrong.
We all have different ways to tap into our own psychic abilities. To learn how, check out my book When Heaven Calls. It’s a good window into my life, and will show you how tuning into your own spirit connection and intuition can transform your life.

I’ve had premonitions about people for instance that have proven to be accurate and prenomitory dreams. I went to a local psychic gor a reading who told me I could be a psychic if I wanted to be. That I was an old soul that has led many lives.
That is wonderful and exciting ..thank you for sharing ☺️
Love a reading
I am a registered nurse and my co workers get scared of my ” gut feelings” because they are usually right. I have a harder time with this in my own personal life. Sometimes I am not sure if it’s my gut or my anxiety.
Hi Matt
What happens when you get all these gut feelings about something and it always ends up the opposite of what your hunch is?
I been going through what u have been talking about and boys it helping me understand what it is thank you love laura sue miller
This is such amazing and important advice,,,always listen to that inner voice . Then, as Matt says, really consider what is at hand and determine if your decision is based on good spiritually guided intuition…or just some thing you wish would take place. Keeping track of those decisions and what prompted is a fantastic idea and a great way to sharpen your intuition I would think.
Absolutely I always go with my intuition !!!! I love learning from you ⭐️
I also love listening to Matt. I have learned so much …it actually puts a smile on my face knowing that Matt is about to speak .
There are times that I know something might happen. As we would say premonition. But not always.
Sometimes I can picture something right or wrong, a bird hitting the picture window, picture falls, I think of death. Does that mean that I have premonition?
I have listened to my intuition in significant moments in my life that made me find my true authentic self. I feel so much that my intuition guides me to seek and speak the truth and find answers to my questions. It’s about having faith in one’s self to trust and believe in the power of God’s energy and Divine Source that generates us to feel what is in our heart and soul to live life in peace with wisdom and knowledge. Your intuition is guided by spirits to help you see the light and have a purpose to help humanity.
I need to know why my brother best friend left me so fast l need him
Matt, I have been having paranormal things and having intuitive thoughts since I was about 13-I have had premonitions about something that was going to happen to someone when I was 13-and someone asked me in 1984-who was going to win the Indy 500& I told her. I have predicted things that came true, I have experienced ghosts around a place in 1985-& in 1996-I had a shared death experience with my grandma, but didn’t know it was her at the time, and I FELT her pain in her heart, like an empath and I didn’t know it was her reaching out to me, and I have experienced so many paranormal things since 1985-and again in 2012-&2016-and I have been experiencing some ghost or ghosts around me this year but I don’t know who they are and I have pictures I want to share with you and maybe you can tell me who they are and WHY they showed up in the pictures I have. I have so many questions about things but I have no answers. I would love readings about who or what is around me that knocks things over, and how I can Increase my Intuition better!! Thanks!! I have heard you on coast to coast program that I try to listen to every night when it comes on but a lot of times I fall asleep. Pst.
I dreamed last night that my dad walked into a dance venue with my oldest brother. My dad was an amputee and I could never dance with him. But we waltzed although in the dream he was still am amputee. I kept asking him where he had been all this time but he wouldnt tell me. I miss them so much and yhe older I get the more I miss my lived ones who have passed. Breaks my heart.
I known for a very long time I had it, my grandmother would say I was a witch, but either way I’m ok with it, my question is that I have a very good friend who has lost her husband and 4 years later lost her only child she can’t seem to move on, and we’ve talked about this before and I think it would help her, I’m welling to pay for the session, for to find peace of heart a mind,
What a great read. Thank you, Matt.
Matt Fraser is such a wondering, caring and very gifted human being that this earth has been blessed with. I truly love listening to him on what ever the topic may be. Thank you Matt for sharing your gift with us.. I attend your live meetings every month sometimes two or three times…I simply love the live meetings. I hope they continue..
