Heart, Intuition, And The Art Of Manifestation

A good many people believe manifestation is a matter of thinking positive thoughts and aligning your emotions until they are in sync with those thoughts, all rolled together with a healthy dose of thankfulness. While there is a great deal of truth in this idea, something key is missing: the heart. The bottom line is, if what you are trying to manifest does not line up with your core values and beliefs, no amount of syncing mind and emotion is going to get what you think you want. Intuition is the place to begin understanding those core beliefs and values.

Understanding self is key to the manifestation process. To do this, one needs awareness. Awareness is found in the place of connection within your heart. On a surface level, we can connect to what our hearts want by paying attention to all those things that make us happy. These become all those things we want to manifest. However, we often have energetic blocks inside that do not get addressed. These blocks keep us from manifesting what we truly desire. There are fantastic teachers and techniques out there who can help you get over such blocks, and I encourage you to seek them out for yourself. That said, ultimately you are responsible for doing the work for yourself. Teachers can only lead you to water. You are the one who has to choose to drink it.

Meditation is a great place to begin. By sitting in the quiet and giving yourself time to connect to Source energy, the more the Universe will speak to you. You begin to understand all those things that make you tick. You will see your piece in the puzzle and how it can be played. You will also begin to understand what you truly want, which are often not the same things the world tries to convince you that you want. Connecting to heart can be a surprising process, but the results will be amazing and very worthwhile.

If your heart is in alignment with what you desire to manifest it will be successful. Use your connection to heart and the intuition it brings to manifest the life you want and truly deserve!

The Balance Between Intuition And The Mind

Almost 20 years ago, I was told by my husband he wanted to separate. At the time I was still heavily invested in that relationship and still deeply in love with him. It was his desire that the kids and I stay in Georgia with my parents when he returned to Iowa. As I had no family support system in Iowa, that sounded like a good idea to me.

Several months down the road of this divorce journey, I had a dream. It felt extremely significant as I don't often remember my dreams, but I did this one. In the dream, my husband moved to Georgia to be closer to the kids. The thought that my husband would move to Georgia made me happy. I believed he would realize what he had lost and come back to me.

About a year and a half after that dream, my life was in shambles. My divorce had been finalized and I was the one who filed as I found out he was with someone else. My ex and his girlfriend had indeed moved to Georgia to be closer to the kids. While my dream had come true, nothing about it panned out as I had hoped.

The thing about intuitive insight is this: it isn't always what your mind wants to see and your mind can and will distort it. I believe I was given that dream in order to prepare for my ex being back in my life in a new and different way. However, back then I was not in the same place I am now. I didn't ask questions. I didn't seek any clarity or additional insight. Maybe if I had I would have understood he was not going to be coming alone.

The information was all there in my heart. Deep inside, I had known my husband had not been faithful to me. I tried to blame his behavior and the signs I noticed on depression or other circumstances. I was in a deep state of denial because I was not ready to give up on that relationship.

I believe the mind can play a good role when intuition comes into play. If I had allowed my mind to ask the questions that were there, I would have understood more and probably would have gained a great deal more insight. I would have been much more prepared for what actually happened and stronger through the process.

Hindsight is always 20/20. That said, I am much more likely to ask questions and look at intuitive information from different perspectives in present day. I am not perfect. I am still a work-in-progress, but every day I get closer to the person I want to be. I am becoming a person who is open to intuition and asks questions until I better understand the role this information is supposed to play in my life. The balance between intuition and the mind is key to living a more healthy and abundant life.

You Are More Aware Than You Think!

As a woman (and a decent looking one), I have had my fair share of catcalls. It can be extremely uncomfortable to walk by a group of boys or men and be the victim of mindless sexual innuendo. Although nothing has been done physically, you still end up feeling assaulted. Why is that? It's because, deep down, we all understand what is playing out in the minds of those making the catcalls. We feel it! It is dark. It is vile. It is emotionless. It is aggressive. At times we can even picture just what these men want to do.

Men can feel this as well at times when they are hit on by other men. Straight men who get hit on aggressively by gay men often adopt the attitude that being gay is a perversion. I believe this is a direct result of feeling the aggressive sexual thoughts directed at them by those particular gay men and the awareness makes straight men feel uncomfortable. (Please note that not all gay men or women have sexually aggressive thoughts--just those who have learned to associate sex with mindless, physical pleasure. Also note there are straight women who have sexually aggressive thoughts as well.)

I bring these feelings up because this is exactly what I mean when I talk about awareness! There are times in everyone's lives when we just "know" something without understanding why we "know" it. For those of us less in touch with our intuition, it is usually only the strongest feelings that come through. Understand that when feelings come across that strong, it is extra important to pay attention! These are often warnings that danger is close.

When you take the time to quiet your mind and get into your heart, awareness opens up exponentially. Allow yourself at least half and hour every day to feel the energies around you. You will begin to get a sense the nature of the objects around you. For example, you may sense the mind-numbing confusion that comes from your television. You might get a sense of peace from the organic bananas you just bought. If you continue this practice, you may even begin to feel the presence of your guardian angels or loved ones who have passed on but are back to assist you!

Awareness is always present. When you allow yourself to pay attention, the information that comes will keep you safe and will guide you to better ways of doing things. You are much more aware than you think!

The State Of Us: An Intuitive Look At The World

I've found myself in a strange sort of funk the past couple of days. Although it seems like the natural order of things (US Thanksgiving is over and there are a few weeks left before Christmas), when I question the feeling much more information comes up. It is this info I want to share today.

Russia's President Putin is staying the course as far as getting rid of the Islamic State. While the US mainstream media continues to question his motives, he is one of the few people with the courage to stand up to the current powers that be (aka the shadow government). His actions in Syria, which are disrupting the stolen oil supply chains, are effectively wiping out funds the shadow government is using to pay for terrorist activities around the world. Understand the worst terrorists are paid mercenaries, most of whom have nothing to do with practicing Islam. There is a feeling of expectation and waiting as the situation is allowed to play out. It is a little premature to get excited about the defeat of the Islamic State, but progress is definitely being made.

There is still a lot of fear porn that must be waded through here in the US. (Fear porn: news stories designed to instill fear that both immobilizes and excites the masses.) Stories that promote the ideas that we are going to be attacked by some outside threat and that we need to support war in the Middle East to counteract this threat overwhelm our senses if we let them. Know the real enemy is not Muslim extremists. The real enemy is the shadow government who convinces us we need to fight each other.

Part of the funk also has to do with the pull of holiday shopping as retailers pour on the advertisements and Americans (and westerners in general) are pulled into the shopping frenzy we have been programmed to feel this at Christmas time. It feels especially strong this year as the shadow government is looking to bolster its funds through more legitimate means as its secret, illegal means are being systematically cut off.

As you go about your daily life and feelings assault you, it is always a good idea to question where these feelings are coming from. Quite often, you will find the feelings do not originate with yourself but come from those around you. Do not take responsibility for those feelings, but allow them to guide you into actions that will put you firmly in control of your world.

Continue to think with your heart and you will be prompted to act in ways that benefit us all!

The Day The NYSE Shut Down

The day was Wednesday, July 8, 2015. All around it was an interesting and strange day. I had my eyes focused on the worldwide markets (as many others did) because of the ongoing problems of Greece not paying their debts to the big banks and the potential for worldwide collapse.

Then something strange happened. Computers at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) shut down for four hours, along with several other strange and seemingly unrelated site melt downs, including the Wall Street Journal and American Airlines. It was easy to see why they would want to stop the computers at the NYSE on this particular day. They wanted to cut their losses because of the volatility of the markets worldwide. The Wall Street Journal and American Airline sites going down at the same time puzzled me however. As I tried to make the connections, I got absolutely no where. I just knew it bothered me. The Wall Street Journal shut down made some sense as people would look there first for information about U.S. stocks. The American Airlines thing left a total blank. My intuition told me there was a lot more to it than I was getting. It has bugged me for the past five days!!!

I asked questions of my intuition/heart connection to try to get the information. Now I realize I wasn't asking the right sorts of questions!!! An article in the stock market information site Zero Hedge put the missing pieces together for me!!! (You can read that article here.)

The sentences that brought it all home for me were as follows:

As all the headlines from China, Asia, and Europe filter through the morning press. Out-of-the-blue as if this previous wasn't enough to worry about. This already tentative group is hit with a headline that brings chills to anyone who remembers September 11th. "All United Airlines flights in U.S. Are Grounded."

Bingo!!! The United Airlines site going down and grounding all its planes is a psychological connection to 9/11!!! My questions did not ask about the symbolic/psychological aspects of connection. I was looking more at the rational reasons the site would go down at the same time (there are none)!!! The Wall Street Journal site going down was more of a rational thing, which is why my questions made more sense there!!!

Why is this important? The powers that be typically put their future plans out in the public consciousness, but they like to do it in code. Informing us of their plans, whether we understand them or not, sets us up for a spiritual contract. The consent may be implied, but it is still binding. If we get their information too quickly we might consciously withdraw our consent and be able to counteract their plans!!!

The fact of the matter is, the powers that be control the markets (including all the computers that help them function). They control the multinational corporations. They control the media. The control the monetary system. The circumstances I've outlined above are not coincidental (although many will still argue they are). They are highly controlled to send a message.

Now the question is, what message are they trying to send? On September 11th, 2001, American Airlines flights were grounded because their planes were supposedly used in the attacks. Shortly thereafter, the stock market took a sharp tumble. Millions of dollars were lost.

Are they bringing up 9/11 to bring extra terror/fears into the inevitable crash of the stock market? Are they hinting about a future terror attack on U.S. soil? (This rings pretty true to my intuition.) Are they trying to hint they are still in charge of it all?

I honestly do believe the powers that be are telling us they are planning something HUGE to occur to the United States (and inevitably the world). I do not say this so you will fear it. I say this so you will understand and do something about it!!! We can stop them!!!

Symbology is not my strong suit, but I know there are many out there who are well versed in this area! If you are, I encourage you to look into this aspect of  things!!! There is knowledge to be gained!!! We still have time to shut them down!!!

The powers that be can be stopped!!! It is happening more and more often now!!! It is time to pool our resources and halt them in their tracks!!!

The shut down of the NYSE gave us some clues to our potential future! It is time to interpret what those clues mean and stop those plans from becoming reality!!!

Intuition Made Me a Conspiracy Theorist!

Have you ever watched the evening news and thought, "Something is not right here! The facts are not adding up!!!"? Stuff like this happens to us all the time, and yet we ignore the thoughts and try to forget about them. Why? Because it is not okay to be different. It is much easier to follow the "rules" and blend in. I have never been afraid of being different, so in some respects it has been a little easier for me to go against the grain.

My turn to the "dark" side (and yes, that is tongue-in-cheek) came with problems I had with my daughter. By the time she had reached middle school she was angry and depressed and quite difficult to deal with. I searched everywhere for answers: teachers and school counselors, social workers and psychologists. I finally took her to a psychiatrist who diagnosed her with ADHD. While I could see she did have some symptoms, I also knew there was something more going on. I had worked as a residence counselor with emotionally disturbed children for several years as well as many more years working as a preschool teacher. I know ADHD. You can reason with those children, even when they're angry. You could not reason with my daughter when she was angry. If you continued to talk about what upset her she would continue to get more and more angry and would not stop. The only way I could get her out of the anger was to distract her with a totally random subject.

At this point, I need to step in and say that my "knowing" it was not just ADHD was largely my intuition talking to me. I just didn't recognize that's what is was at the time. I never analyzed my intuition when I was using it back then.

Finally in desperation, I asked God what was wrong with her. I heard the word "bipolar" in my head. My first thought was, "I have a bachelor's degree in psychology! This is not what I was taught bipolar is!" However, when I went home that night and began to research bipolar disorder on my computer, I found out that it manifests much differently in children than it does in adults. The anger was a very common manifestation in children, as well as the fact that the mania and depression can cycle through in children three or four times a day as opposed to weeks or months of one or the other in adults.

I began to research what could be done for bipolar disorder, and the answers I found were not good. All the science-based accepted views were that bipolar disorder could not be cured and people needed to spend the rest of their lives on medication! Still, again my intuition popped back up, telling me this was not true!!! I began to do more research into alternative treatments and included prayer in the mix to help guide me to more answers. This lead me to a new friend at work with an autistic/ADHD daughter and the book "Enzymes: Go With Your Gut" by Karen DeFelise. Even though my daughter is not autistic, she does have some symptoms in common with autistic people that made me understand digestion plays a key role in mental health!!! She had digestive problems from the time she was a very small child.

It was at this point that I stopped and looked back at my life. If so much information was being left out of mainstream science in this area, what else was missing? I began to question everything! As I asked more and more questions (and came up with even more questions), I started to understand the world was not as it appeared at first glance. There was missing information everywhere!!! My new life had begun.

It's been a good many years since that first struggle with my daughter's health, yet I wouldn't change it if I could. I have learned so much and met some really wonderful and fascinating people along the way. Even though I still see many problems in the world, I am much more aware of them and can actively work on ways to fix them.

That's why I feel so strongly about helping people tap into their own intuitions. I honestly believe that by helping people connect to their hearts and the wisdom of the One, I can help change the planet for the good of all, one person at at time.

Yes, I am a conspiracy theorist, and yes, my intuition helped me get there. I feel I am much more complete and aware. I wouldn't change a thing!!!

Living The Lie

We live in a fake world. Fake fashion. Fake food. Fake medicine. Fake money. Fake news. Fake wars. Fake terrorists. There is evidence everywhere that nothing is real, and yet we accept these fakes as facts. We are so caught up in our programming we would rather live the lie than wake up and fix our core problems.

Look at the financial world. The BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) have started up their own financial bank. That much is in the news, although greatly downplayed. The incredible part about it is, it has absolutely nothing to do with the banking game most of the world has played for years. It is a free and separate entity, not having to play by the rules of the New World Order agenda. The fake news promotes the idea that "big" players in the game, like Christine Lagarde of the IMF (International Monetary Fund) are supporting the development of this bank. Truth of the matter is, the western monetary system is on the brink of collapse (aka bankruptcy) and she has no choice in the matter if she wants to retain even a little of her power. What makes the BRICS start-up bank so powerful is the fact that the money they are putting up is backed by gold--not the fiat (created out of thin air) money of the west.

Think I'm the one in the dark? Piece together the evidence available. Watch Greece. Greeks have been fed up with their involvement in the European Union for quite some time. Austerity has become so bad the people have rebelled and voted in a government that will stop paying the "debt" and free Greece from their banking masters at the IMF. The problem with Greece not paying the debt is that with that source of income gone, the other EU countries will also tumble. At the end will be the fall of the US dollar, still temporarily the world's trading currency (although have you noticed all the countries that are making agreements between themselves to use their own currencies for trade?).

The irony of these little bits and pieces of truth floating around is, our intuition picks up on all these separate details and puts them together for us, "Warning! Danger! The facts do not add up!!!" Yet here we are. Living the lie!!!

We live in a world that ignores what is real for a program/agenda that keeps us enslaved. Isn't it time to wake up and end the madness? Make the conscious choice to stop living the lie. You may end up as part of the solution!!!

When Intuition Shouts

There are times when intuition is so strong you cannot ignore it. I recently had one of those days. I was contacted by a friend, asking questions about subjects I am extremely familiar with. The problem is, the information is quite sensitive. I'm questioning why this person chose me to ask. We are not close, but somehow they honed in on the idea I might have information on the subject. As I do not put related information out in public, it just makes me question.

And that is the point!!! Questions, questions and more questions!!! My intuition was not allowing me to drop the subject without closer investigation!!! My intuition was shouting, "Warning! Danger ahead!!!" It was coming in so loud and clear that I could not shake it (nor did I really want to). In my experience, these especially clear messages should not be ignored.

When something is extremely important for you to understand, your intuition will do everything in its power to grab your attention. In my auditory world, it feels like someone is shouting at me until I begin to investigate. When I start to pay attention and ask questions, the warnings subside and it returns to the calm quiet of exploration.

Intuition speaks at all times. The thing is, the messages may be softer or louder depending on how much impact they are going to have on your life. When the information is so loud it appears to be shouting at you (or like a flashing billboard or like a strong feeling of doom), understand that information will have all sorts of consequences on your life. Those are the times to be cautious in your actions. Ask your heart how to proceed.

Paying attention to your intuition when it shouts at you will save you from many of the dangers that come up in life. Don't ignore it!!!

Exploring the Unknown

Yesterday I was taken out for a belated Mother's Day treat by my youngest son. I always enjoy his company because he is an independent, outside-the-box thinker. He also knows me well and understands the things I like so he planned this little adventure based on what he thought I would enjoy. He did not disappoint! He knows I enjoy walking, so he took me on a finished piece of the Atlanta BeltLine, a reclaimed bit of space that used to serve as a railroad line that surrounded Atlanta but is now being restored to allow walking and biking through the city.

Exploring the city is not something I would do on my own typically. I am a country girl at heart. I love the trees, plants, open space. Being empathic, I have a tendency to avoid crowds because that can be cause for emotional overload. Still, there are aspects of the city that are interesting, holding a special beauty all their own. I enjoy new perspectives.

There were quite a lot of metal sculptures and professional murals along the BeltLine. The murals were in vivid colors and felt mostly celebratory, representing many different cultures. The sculptures covered a vast range of subjects, including faces, emotions, and even King Kong on the Eiffel Tower. Spread among it all were areas of land that were being reclaimed (intentionally) by nature. Trees, native grasses and flowers shared this urban landscape.

Once we got to the end of that section of the BeltLine we explored Piedmont Park and the midtown area of Atlanta. This was vastly different. Very urban and polished. It was a nice contrast to my everyday life.

A few things stood out as we walked through the city on this little adventure. The energies of the homeless people got to me. I'm not typically in areas where homeless people congregate. As I passed more and more of them, a new awareness hit me, I began to sense their presence before my eyes ever saw them. It's a strange feeling for someone who has spent the vast majority of my life ignoring the intuitive information I received. The regular Joes walking down the street did not catch my attention often as I am used to that sort of energy. These were the usual business people walking home from work or getting a quick bite to eat.

The thing about exploring the unknown is you don't really have to go anywhere special to do it. The only thing required is actually listening to the intuitive information you can pick up from whatever location you may be in. If you are too comfortable in one place, it is easy to ignore the information that comes your way. Intentionally putting yourself in a place you don't normally explore will give you enough of a contrast to begin understanding the sorts of information you do receive on a daily basis.

Dare to explore the unknown! What you learn about yourself and the world may just surprise you!!! 

The Gifts We Receive From Our Mothers

From the moment our spirits materialize into physical form in our mothers' wombs, we become intimately connected to that part of us that is the divine feminine. Sometimes that womb experience is the only experience we have with our biological mothers as other people step in to take on the role of mother. Mothers are all those who take a hand in nurturing us, protecting us, and raising us as we grow (whether female or male). What is it that makes "mothering" such a valuable part of our life process?

The divine feminine part of ourselves is the place of heart--that intuitive, all-knowing, "connected" place. It is the place that hears all, sees all, feels all, knows all (even when we choose to overlook the information). The divine feminine is intimately connected to our emotions and derives its strength and power from that place. It is the place of divine love.

Mothers are the people in our lives who make sure our physical needs are met. They do their best to see we have a warm place to sleep and food in our tummies (sometimes going hungry themselves so we can eat). They teach us all those things we need to know to cope with and even survive in our society.

Mothers are the first people who know when something is wrong. Intuitively, they pick up on the information that something is not right in our world. They know when we are sad or angry and provide us with the tools necessary to overcome those things. They pick up on when we are sick and do those things necessary to pinpoint exactly what is needed to make us feel better. They also magnify our joys by allowing our joys to become theirs.

In very real ways, mothers are our first connections to God in physical form. Mothers teach us how to observe those things felt with the heart and use that wisdom and guidance to make better decisions and create positive change in the world. Their unconditional love gives us the power overcome those obstacles we inevitably face. The gifts mothers give us enable us to stay grounded and connected to all that IS through the power of divine love.

What Your Body Knows About Food (That Your Mind Forgot)

Every good pediatrician knows not to panic if your child is only eating bananas (to the exclusion of everything else). Doctors know there are mechanisms at work in a toddler's body that make her/him crave those nutrients the body needs. Still, it's enough to make attentive parents nervous. After all, how can a child get all the nutrition they need if they limit what they eat? I believe the problem has much more to do with our programming than it has to do with our instincts.

I look back at all the food messages I was given as I grew up. Eat everything on your plate. You need a good balance of fruits, veggies, proteins, fats and starches at every meal in order to get all the nutrition you need. Don't waste food--there are starving children in the world. No "treats" until your plate is clean. You will sit at the table until you are done. And on. And on. Ad nauseam!!! Does this sound healthy to you?

What exactly is accomplished by all this programming? The result is a whole society of people who have forgotten how to hear what their bodies are telling them about what they need and instead rely on the thoughts they acquired from well-meaning but misled authority figures.

What if we were to consciously become aware of what our bodies were trying to tell us once again? We might hear them say, "I'm full now" after only a few bites. We might hear them say, "I would like some salad today," or, "drinking that Coke would make me feel tired and bloated," or "I need to stay away from fried foods today." The point is, most of us would probably eat much differently. We would probably look and feel much differently as well. We would age better and not get sick as often. We would have more energy.

Take a few minutes to sit back, feel yourself inside your heart, and ask serious questions about what you eat. Tell your body you are ready to listen to its advice and begin eating what it tells you. Your body will thank you by serving you with a clear head and much greater energy.

There is wisdom in your body if you take the time to listen to what it says!!!

A Brief Introduction To Energy

What is energy? Defined, energy is the ability to do work. Energy is action. It is moving, and in very real ways energy is alive! It is this moving, "living" part I wish to focus on!

Everything is energy, and scientists can measure this movement as frequency. Some energies move very quickly. Others move very slowly. Everything from people and animals, to buildings and vehicles, to paintings and music, to plants and rocks, to emotions and thoughts, can be measured in palpable ways.

I view these energies/frequencies as the "essence" of all things--their hearts and souls.This essence of all things is what I wish to explore in this blog so that you can learn to hear them for yourselves and glean the rich information they all want to impart to you!

We are all born with the innate ability to sense these energies. However, as we grow and experience the world, we often begin to ignore this information in favor of the information that can be obtained through the five senses and the rational thinking mind, which puts this physical sensory data together. While I won't deny these senses and rational thinking are important, I wish to help you increase your knowledge base by pointing out those subtle day-to-day things we ignore.

I invite you to explore these energies with me! Together, we can learn much more than we previously though possible!!!
