Love at first sightis a phrase most often associated with romantic Love. But it ca also refer to the immediate and profound attraction or resonance we experience when we make a discovery. I have heard people utter this phrase when they have spotted a house that is perfect for them, a car that moves them before they turn on the ignition or a wedding gown that is, "just what I was looking for."

At First Sight
This resonance or attraction is a form of intuition and knowing-ness that we can develop with practice and patience. It can also lead us to just as readily understand what does not attract or resonate within. The lesson I am learning is to "finish the feeling" meaning to say what I do not like, want, need - out loud just as I would when I am attracted to something and it "feels" good or right to me. It is OK and it signals to your inner self that you are listening and tuned in to yourself. I am reminded of the saying I saw on a t-shirt: Inquire Within.
Some of my metaphysical colleagues and I refer to it as checking in. It is something we say by way of offering a tentative commitment to give the issue at hand full consideration by allowing ourselves the space and time to inquire within and listen to the response before we commit, accept or agree to something that may not be in our best interests at that moment or in the future. Think of it as discussing or reviewing something with the oversight committee - of one!
