The Benefits of Listening to Your Intuition

Before you can understand the benefits of listening to your intuition, you might
need to know, what is intuition? The dictionary describes it as “the apparent
ability to acquire knowledge without the use of reason”. The word, intuition, comes
from a Latin word meaning “to look inside”. There are those that believe the right
brain is associated with intuition and the left brain is associated with logic.
With that said, there are a group of individuals who feel that the more conscious
you become the louder that inner voice becomes, which is right brain motivated.
Of course, most of us grew up listening to the left brain’s logic. So quieting the
left brain to listen to the right brain’s intuition is a skill that must be
developed. I have to agree with that school of thought. I believe, if we listen to
ignoring that voice will only bring us hardship, sorrow, and pain.

I am sure you have all felt that intuitive feeling before. It might have arrived
as that gut feeling, that hunch, that I know that I know that I know feeling, or
that I just can’t explain it but I know I must do this feeling – really no logic
just knowingness. I am confident that you all know what it felt like to follow
familiar, here are our famous last words after we did not follow that inner voice
and things did not work out, “I just knew I should have done the other thing, but
I talked myself out of it” or “I let someone else talk me out of it.” How many times
has that happened in your life? What would your life be like today if you actually
listened to that voice every time it came up and you followed it?
Here are a few benefits to listening to your intuition:

* Your life will just flow and you will enjoy amazing experiences.
* Doors will easily open to endless opportunities in all areas of your life.
* It will guide you to your life purpose or life path.
* You will experience a happier and effortless life.
* You will just know that you are making the right decision for you-doubt be gone!
* You will learn to love and trust yourself — gain self-confidence!
* Following your inner voice will guide you to your desires and dreams.

I could go on and on, however, I believe you get the picture. If you are feeling
stuck, not fulfilled, and maybe a little lost, tapping into and listening to that
beautiful inner voice for guidance is just what the doctor ordered.

At this very moment, many of you know someone or you yourself are experiencing a
variety of life changes because of the economic condition of our country. Because
there is such a need to awaken this informative tool in all of us, myself and three
other presenters, who use intuition all the time in our lives to make good, loving
choices, have created an insightful and hands-on workshop, Intuition: The Bridge
to your Desires on April 17th at the Flamingo Hotel. In this workshop, we will
show you how to awaken that voice inside of you. You will learn to listen to it
and trust it. As you follow that trusted advice, you will be empowered and you will
experience the joy and a life filled with purpose. It is never too late to learn something
different that will bring you more rewarding results. Don’t miss this opportunity
to tap into your personal power and have the wonderful life you deserve.Join us on
Saturday, April 17. We would love to have you attend. Bring a friend.

Loving vs Judging

What the world needs now is Love, Sweet Love or What the world needs now is Judging sweet Judging! Or on your death bed will you be saying- “I wish I had loved more or judged more?” Think for a moment, what have you been doing more of this past 24 hours and what have the results been? Have you been calm, peaceful, and in the flow? Or have you been agitated, impatient, and stuck? Like I have said all along-every decision we make either takes you to love or away from love. What direction have you been going?

In Byron Katie’s Book, Loving What Is, she works with a young man concerning his issues with his parents. He made this statement, “My parents should not judge me!”She replied, “What planet do you live on? This is what we do here- we judge!” Then she asked him, ” Are you judging them?” At that point the young man realized his part of the problem he had with his parents. She got him to see what a vicious, non-loving circle he was in with his judging and he needed to let that go of his judging and start loving.

So why do we judge? What do we get out of judging a person or situation? Are we trying to be right or protect ourselves and others with the judging? This is my belief about judging. We do it for many reasons. It is a protection mechanism that steps in when we want a reason to change or control something and we must to be right. Our non-loving ego is running this fiasco- most of the time when we are judging, we are not connecting to any one or anything . The act of judging separates the person and act. Your ego is whispering in your ear- “I am not like you- what you are doing is bad- I would never do what you did. I am better than you.” The need to control the situation and be right is overwhelming- even though this act takes you further and further from the truth. Like it has been said in many ways– “You must walk a mile in someone else’s shoes before you can judge or criticize them.” When I hear someone say, “I would never do that!” I usually respond with, “Are you sure? – even under dire circumstances?” If you believe the statements, “I am you and You are me.” Then you could do that unthinkable act or make those bad decision.

So now the question is – how do I stop judging? Love is the answer, of course! HA! Loving What Is is really a powerful concept. You know you have a choice to love or judge anything that comes into your life. When we say we have a problem, we are judging it as a problem. If we stopped judging the situation and started loving it – is there still a problem? You decide. Einstein said that “No problem can be solved from the same plane it was created.” Since Love is the highest energy vibration there is, what happens to that so-called problem? When you decide to love a so-called problem you become courageous and accepting and the energy on that situation switches right before your eyes. When you are in that loving place you can see that accepting the situation will put everyone in better place and no one has to be right. It just IS! You are now going toward love and all the great comfort that you feel when you have made that wise choice. Being right is judging. Choosing Happy is loving! Let go of the judging and embrace the loving!

Joyful Tip of the Month

If you want more joy and peace in your life, stop judging!It really is that
simple but not easy, since we all have been pushing that judging button
just about non-stop 24-7. Step back-Take your finger off that judging button.

Now envision a loving button right next to it. Realize you have choice here. Next time a so-called bad situation or person comes into you life- release the temptation to judge it or them, instead push the love button. Be patient. It will feel really weird when you first start using the Love button. Remember we also judge ourselves-so practice pushing the
Love button for yourself, too.

Practice this at home and at work. When you are in that beautiful loving place -you win as well as everyone around you. Try loving everything that is going in your life for just one hour in the beginning and see for yourself. Let the loving begin!~

In Love and In Joy,

Aloha,

Thank you readers for the wonderful feedback from the last newsletter. Remember, set those intentions for your success and joy everyday. It was once said by Lewis Carroll, “If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there.” I have my January intentions posted on a huge post-it in my office and read it everyday. Let me tell you, I have had a remarkable January and I believe it is because I have embraced my intentions. I am just about ready to take them down, fine tune them, and put up February’s Intentions. I hope you will do the same.

♥♥♥ “Watch out for the Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing!” ♥♥♥

I teach in my workshops that every decision we make takes us to love or away from love. I was asked in my interview with Janice Marie Wilson, how do you know if the decision you make is loving or not? First of all, that negative ego /mind can be tricky sometimes. A real wolf in sheep’s clothing! Have you ever thought you are making a loving decision to only have it blow up in your face? What went wrong? Wasn’t I coming from love? How do I avoid that reaction? First of all, you need to check why you decided to do what you did. Is there any lack of control involved, lack of approval involved, or lack or feeling safe involved? Let me give you an example with a loving solution.

Imagine you have a loved one that is not making great choices in their lives. ( I am sure everyone has experienced this! ) This person has not asked for your help, however, you are frustrated and you have decided to tell them just what you think they need to do. Of course, you think this is a loving act—or is it? Is that decision taking you to love or away from love? Let’s do a check. Close your eyes and spend a moment just pouring love on that decision- some more and some more. What happens to that decision- as you are loving it? Was unsettling? Then did it disappear or did it get stronger? Now get honest with yourself, were you making that decision because you lacked control and wanted to control that person? Those are all non-loving and “got to be right” feelings which will take you away from love and you both lose. As you can see, no good will come from that action- now what? Try this- decide to love and accept them and let them know you are there for them. Now love that decision. Does the feeling expand and become more peaceful? Now you are going toward love and everyone wins. Because when it comes down to it- “Everyone is going to do what they are going to do and not do what they are not going to do.” So do the loving thing for everyone- do the love test on your decisions, if you are not sure. Expose the ego/wolf unloving decisions for what they are and sleep well counting all the sheep/loving decisions you have made in your life.

❥ February Joyful Tip

I love the month of February. Love is in the air! It is the time of the year that people express to each other how they really feel. They do it with words like ”I love You”, giving gifts of hearts, special nights out, and all to name a few. It is wonderful time to share your heartfelt feelings. Can I suggest you do something a little bit different this year for this month’s Joyful Tip, along with all those kind and loving acts, remember to give yourself the gift of love, too. Yes, love yourself just because it might just be what you are missing to make that special planned Valentine event be all it can be. What I mean is to be kind to yourself AND your loved one. Don’t get caught in the trap of over doing it because you want someone to love you. Instead, love yourself, trust yourself, care about yourself, in return, the other person will feel that you have something to give to them -abundant love. Let “Your cup runneth over.” Everyone benefits from your full love cup! If you do not have anyone special in your life- that is OK, too, Spend Valentine’‘s Day saying you love yourself all day- do something special just for you.There is a fabulous book that was released last fall by Larry Crane called, “Love Yourself and Let the Other Person Have it Your Way.” I believe you can go on Amazon and purchase it. It is easy to read with a powerful life changing message. Do you want to have the best Valentine’s Day ever? Read the book and implement the loving concepts. “Be the Love” and have the best Valentine’s Day possible.

❥ Remember “Love for Peace in your Life and in our World!”

In Love and In Joy,

♥♥♥ 2010- The Year of In-ten-tions ♥♥♥

Yes- Let 2010 be the year you reach your goals and dreams by using the power of intentions! I believe intentions will support you in building the basic foundation you must have to reach any goal or dream. Without intentions- attaining any goal is nearly impossible. Intentions help you to get energetically ready for your goal. Did you know you have to be an energetic or vibrational match for your goals, in order for you to accomplish them? So, if you have not reached a goal you set last year, maybe you were not in harmony with that desire.

This year when you set a goal – ask yourself what is it that you must “be” in order to accomplish that goal or dream! Hold off asking yourself what you must do or have to achieve the goal. You can do that later. Like I mentioned before, an intention foundation will help you pave a path to your goal or dream. Intentions allow you to bravely proclaim to the world what you will need “to be” in order to be in harmony with your goal. It is kind of like saying, “What are YOU bringing to the party, in order to be in alignment with the goal?!” HA! I truly believe – “You must first “BE” to DO and HAVE”. Setting your “to be” intentions will aid you to fast track your way to your desire.

❥ January Joyful Tip

After making a goal, try this for 30 days and let me know how it works for you. First, write out what you need “to be” in order to reach your goal or dream. Secondly, once you have completed that task, proclaim your “to be” intention each day before you get out of bed, while in the shower, or in front of the mirror every morning. Then announce your goal. Feel yourself being empowered by those intentions and becoming congruent with your goals.
(If you are not sure this would work for you- then say your goal statement without the intentions and then with them and see for yourself! Can you feel the difference?)

Statement Examples:
If your goal is to have more loving relationships then your intention might look
like this: “My intention today is TO BE ~ accepting, understanding, forgiving,
and loving to myself and others.” & “I allow myself to have more loving
relationships in my life now.”

If your goal is to be 10 pounds lighter then your intention might look like this:
“My intention is TO BE~ happy, healthy, loving to myself, understanding,
forgiving, committed, and courageous. & “I allow myself to be a healthy ten pounds
lighter.”

If your goal is to have more money then your intention might look like this:
“My intention is TO BE~ creative, open to receive all the good I desire, a
great communicator, prosperous, and loving to myself and others.”& I allow
myself to easily and effortlessly receive $5,000 or more in my life now.”

It is a new year and a new decade- isn’t it time for you to soar! Set those “To Be” intentions with your goals and enjoy the flight!

❥ Remember “Love for Peace in your Life and in our World!”

In Love and In Joy,

Vicki
