Ever spontaneously think about someone you love or a friend you’ve been missing? Does this ever happen when it isn’t a convenient time to drop what you’re doing to give them a call, shoot a text, write a letter or email? It frequently happens to me. Sometimes, I flash on someone whom I haven’t seen in months or even years and I wonder how they’re doing. Occasionally I even wonder if they’re still alive. Rather than get frustrated that we haven’t spoken in some time, I have taken to sending messages via “i-Mail.”
i-Mail is a term I made up. It stands for intuition-Mail. I often close my eyes to deliver one – but not while driving! I can “write” and relay an entire heartfelt message in a moment. My love notes wing their way across time and space and I feel connected, whether the recipients feel them or not.
My mom passed away in May of 2019 and I regularly send her i-Mails, too.
Shya has joined me in sending messages like this, also. Recently, a person we’d lost touch with for about 5 years sent us an email within a day of our “contacting” her and another whom we hadn’t seen in months immediately sent us back a loving email as well.
Hmmm – did they think of us first or did we send an i-Mail to them? It doesn’t particularly matter. What matters is that our connection has been reestablished.
For us, it isn’t about getting a reply – although I must admit that receiving one is super fun and satisfying. It’s really about reaching out and sending love. It doesn’t take time. It just requires a willingness to care and admit to being connected, wherever you are on this glorious planet of ours.

Thank you so much for this article, Ariel!
Now you gave me a great term for those thoughts of love I send in my mind. And I realized that I could send these i-Mails of love and warmth also to those I lost touch with and might not be able/willing to reconnect (whatever the reasons might be) whenever I think of them.
Thank you!
Much love from Denmark.
You are welcome Victoria. It doesn’t matter what we call it, your love is felt! Wishing you a lovely, lovely day.
Experienced this a couple of months ago. Thought about a friend I hadnt spoken to in months and suddenly received a text message. Whether I chose to contact her I dont know, but my intuition was absolutely right. Do you guys have any tips on how to be more in touch with your intuition?
Hi Tim, a couple of quick ideas to support your intuition: Simply be kind to yourself. It may not sound like it has anything to do with intuition but it makes it so much easier to listen to and act or those quiet hunches… and to not be hard on yourself when you don’t recognize one. People regularly strengthen their skill-sets of natural knowing and intuition at our Living Made Easy Seminars. The theme is so popular we are hosting a Creativity and Intuition virtual weekend seminar at the end of this month. You are welcome should you wish to attend. Kindly, Ariel and Shya
Intuition-Mail – that’s a wonderful term you coined!
Once I allowed myself to feel connected to my oldest son who has not grown up with me, once I dropped beating myself up about that fact, once I allowed myself to see and feel that I miss him and love him, it sometimes happens that I get a message from him whilst thinking of him – that’s almost spooky! 🙂
Much love and gratitude xx
Sweet to hear you and your oldest son are now in touch and you are having “open communication” via i-Mail, too!
