Are You Fighting Two Sides of You?

How to overcome your inner battle
We’ve all been at various points in our lives where we fight our inner demons to determine which way to turn to achieve success. These inner battles are actually quite necessary because they are what lead to both a spiritual healing and emotional healing process of the mind, body, and spirit. While you may not think it’s important to use meditation to develop your intuition at these times in our lives, quite the opposite is true. In fact, when you are battling the “two sides of you,” it is the perfect time to promote healing through meditation.
When I talk about the “two sides of you,” I’m referring to the inner struggle of the mind and soul – one side of you truly wants to manifest success in all areas of your life; the other side of you feels like giving up on your dreams because of current economic situations, past emotional traumas, physical health conditions, or relationship problems, among others. On which side are you presently focused?
To better explain the “two sides of you,” there’s an old story, where a man tells his grandson about two battling wolves that dwell within our spirit. One wolf is gentle and good-natured; while the other wolf is filled with anger and other negative emotions. Each metaphorical wolf wants to dominate the individual’s spirit. The grandson, in his amusement, asks his grandfather, “Which one wins?” To which, the grandfather replies, “The one you feed.” This simple story relays how intuition and emotional healing can play a vital part in bringing about success in one’s life.
If you want success stories like the rich and famous, you must use your intuition to positively feed your spirit. Like chicken soup for the soul, you must fine-tune your intuition by practicing daily meditation.
Even if your spiritual healing meditation is just five minutes each day, you will amaze yourself with the results you achieve. It’s not just about feeding your positive thoughts and emotions; it’s about properly training your mind and soul to become the person you want to be. Your success depends on how you draw from your intuition to manifest the lifestyle you want to have and lead in life. Remember, happiness is what you make it; which side of you wins the battle is entirely up to you.
Until we speak again, I am

Finding Happiness in Nature
Posted by Intuition Girl
When I was young, a childhood friend told me that if I held a buttercup beneath my chin, and my chin glowed yellow, it meant that I liked butter. Now, I tried the buttercup experiment, and sure enough, my chin glowed yellow. It was such a silly little amusement, but I remember smiling to myself knowing that a simple flower could say so much about me. Of course the buttercup glowed a faint yellow beneath my chin because I was out in the sunlight and the manifestation of the bright gold color was only evident because of the sun’s light.
There were a few lessons to be gained in the buttercup experiment: trust, was the first. I learned first that I had to trust that the buttercup would glow beneath my chin; and it did. The second lesson was that in nature, all things are possible. The third lesson was that the sun is a remarkable thing that not only brings us the warmth and light to give life to all the earth, but that it has the power to do miraculous things. I smile when I think about this because in my mind’s eye, I can recreate the time and feeling of how a lowly buttercup was able to make me giggle…and believe in something that I may not have before.
You can learn a lot from nature. Especially when you’re sitting in the sunlight, standing beneath a shady oak, or just smelling lilacs as you stroll through a park. You’ll find that happiness is all around you if you only open your eyes to it. Didn’t you know that the wondrous part of nature is that it can bring to light some of life’s most beautiful creations?
The best part is that you don’t have to search very far to find happiness in nature. It’s in the wind, the buzzing bees, the drifting clouds, and in the cricket’s chirp. Happiness is, after all, a mirror image of the life that surrounds us. But it doesn’t just surround us; it’s a part of us. That’s the beauty of it. We are all interconnected to the glorious creation and wonder that we call the Universe. This great big expand of everything and all things, which is a reflection of who we are and why we exist. And it’s the energetic flow of the Universe that bonds all of this life together. Isn’t it amazing?
Smile. When you smile on one side of the world, it creates a positive ripple effect in the Universal flow of energy. Ever heard the phrase, “Smile and the world smiles with you; cry and you cry alone?” It’s true. When you smile, your face lifts up, your eyes light up, and your insides feel all warm and gushy. When you frown, every thing comes to a screeching halt. That’s the amazing power of happiness. To delight in happiness is to be at one with nature. And when you’re at one with nature, you are at one with the Universal flow of energy. Yes, nature is in all things; smiles included.
If you can’t seem to put a smile on your face, you can always go outside and pluck a buttercup. While holding a small hand mirror, place the buttercup beneath your chin. If it glows yellow, you like butter…or maybe it’ll just make you smile like it made me.

Do or Die: 5 Steps to Jumpstart a New Plan of Action
Posted by Intuition Girl
We all know that we must take action to change our outcomes but we often get caught up in the execution of a plan; so I am going to give you five steps that may help you get started and be held accountable to the goals you want to achieve in your life with this unique Do or Die Plan of Action Guideline –
One of the biggest mental errors that some individuals make is the over-anticipation that change will happen instantaneously. Even the lowly cocoon takes some amount of time to come full circle in its metamorphosis. We all know what that end result is: transformation into a beautiful butterfly. Before these majestic creatures can transform, they must turn within to grow and manifest the beauty that is to become them. This is much like what we human beings must do in order to receive the blessings that await us; which brings me to step one:
1. Set an intention and with determination and excitement keep that image in the foreground of your mind 24/7. The Law of Attraction is a Universal law and one which allows no deviation if you want to attract your heart’s desires. But if you do not have a clear picture as to what you want to attract, how are you going to achieve your end result? Journaling is one of the most vital tools that will help you define your intention—clearly and with laser vision keep your attention on what you intent then the Law of Attraction will begin to work for you. As you continue to increase your awareness of the outcome that you want to achieve, your thought power will begin to work for you not against you.
2. Meditate, meditate, meditate. If you decide not to meditate, then, you must also understand that you will not manifest. Meditation is the vehicle that will allow you to quiet the mind, so that you can feed the soul and gain inner peace. It is also the avenue that will keep you grounded so that you will be able to handle the obstacles and challenging situations that surface. I have three meditation CD’s that are available, one that specifically focuses on manifesting or you can examine other alternative products that will suite your needs. By meditating, you are moving into a state of calm that will help you refuel your mind, body, and spirit as your manifesting powers strengthen. The more you can relax, rest deeply and invite in the sweet presence of the divine into your meditation, the greater your manifesting powers will grow.
3. Manifestation Method. The Manifestation Method is a fantastic self healing and personal growth system that will not just help you overcome past emotional blockages, but it will encourage self growth on many different levels: emotionally, mentally, physically, psychologically, and spiritually. The key to the Manifestation Method is your level of commitment that you are willing to dedicate to create the life you want to lead. (Learn more about the Manifestation Method.)
4. Embrace a positive mindset. Your thoughts are the mirror to your mind. If your mind is cluttered and burdened with fear-based energy, which includes worry, resentment and doubt, your outcome, will reflect that energy. It is vital to maintain a positive and conscious mindset that will help you to generate momentum and speed in your quest towards enlightenment. This is the time to decide what it is you want to do to generate wealth in your life–then act upon that dream and vision. When you are living with a positive mindset, you are open to all possibilities and ready to seek out solutions in all situations. You see the good in the worst of experiences and believe and trust in the process of life. As you strengthen your beautiful mindset, the Universe believes in you and opens new doors and opportunities. Perpetual positive thinking is the best exercise you can give your mind and is the best way to start your day and improve your manifesting powers.
5. Be Receptive. Besides setting the right intention and embracing a positive mindset, it is equally important to be open to receive and feel into the energy of abundance knowing that thy will be done. You’ve made the journey of personal transformation, now you are able to receive your abundance, whether it be your improved health, a fun relationship, a new career or financial stability, the foundation for living has already been laid; the rest is up to you. With an open heart and mind know that all good things come to you all the time. What destiny are you going to shape for yourself today?

Are you sleep walking?
Posted by Intuition Girl
There are so many people sleep walking through life, are you one of them?
Settling for things you truthfully do not want, existing in your daily lifestyle as you think of debilitating self-defeating thoughts or putting yourself down and not trying to reach for anything because you say: “ why bother?”
So many of us get stuck in a rut doing the same thing all the time yet so desperately wanting something different. It is time for all of us to wake up from the slumber we put ourselves in and make powerful and wise decisions to become awakened and empowered leaders over our own lives.
I hear all too often how people are professional worriers over their lives, their children, their money, and their parents. Do you have any idea how much energy you are wasting on nothingness? Worrying about something is to have a fear of the outcome of some situation and unfortunately we cannot control the outcome of everything we encounter.
It is time for you to become consciously aware of your thoughts and actions on a daily consistent basis. True mastery in life is consistency! What are you doing on a daily basis to create new energy and momentum in your life so that you can manifest your hearts desires?
The only one you can truly be accountable for and responsible for is “you.” Hopefully there will come a time when your finally realize that everything you do in life is a choice. I encourage you to please choose wisely.
Please read on to my two new questions this week from my readers, Vickie and Mary Sue.
Many Blessings,
Joan Marie Whelan

4 Tips to Design the Life you’ve always wanted
Posted by Intuition Girl
If you have the precise life recipe, you can increase your opportunities for creating and sustaining a happy, affluent lifestyle. But sometimes, you must change your direction to make this path more defined, more reachable. Here are four tips to design the life you’ve always wanted, and how to maintain this lifestyle until you’re ready to move on to the next level of success:
1. Are you ready to go the distance? Step up to the plate. When you’re next in line to bat, you need to be mentally, emotionally, and physically prepared to knock a homerun. It’s a heck of a long sprint to home base if you haven’t readied yourself for the journey. When your mind is in sync with your spirit and body, you can accomplish amazing (and sometimes “impossible”) things in your life. To do this, you must simply level out the playing field by re-patterning your thoughts and focus. By tossing out the wasteful thoughts of your mind, you can keep an open mind to new possibilities. This also helps you to keep your eye on the ball, and gives you the clarity to see where you need to hit the (metaphorical) ball to hit your homerun.
2. Concentrate on commitment. Even when you intuitively know that you are going to achieve your anticipated result, you must always bear in mind that “things” may happen. Sometimes, we are presented with challenges and roadblocks that may temporarily obstruct our plane of view. I want you to look beyond those challenges and ask yourself why some of these challenges have come your way. Rest assured that the Universe doesn’t interfere with your life; it merely intervenes in your life so that you can see the potential that you may not have seen or realized before. In almost all cases, individuals have discovered newfound joys and wealth where they may not have in the past.
3. Live in the Present Moment. Too often, we get so caught up in living in the past that we forget that we still must live for today – in the moment of now. When we embrace the essence of right now, right this very moment; our higher consciousness is more fully aware of the happenings that are occurring all around us. From the breeze of a passing wind, to the silence of night – we are more fully connected with the Universal flow of energy and with our intuitive sense of cognitive command. Remember, when you are in control of your conscious thought processes, and you are fully aware of your surroundings, you are much better equipped to contend with perceived obstacles and better aligned with the light force that resides inside you. That is what enables you to manifest powerful and rewarding opportunities into your life.
4. Reaffirm your confidence. Whether you choose to see it or not, you are the leader of your life. Choices that you made yesterday, are making today, and will make tomorrow are based on what you want in your life; and more importantly, they are all choices that you have personally made. I want you, from this moment forward, to reaffirm your confidence to make wise choices for you and for your life. Know that these choices come from the breadth of your vision and a belief that there is a plan for you. Where do you want to be this afternoon, next week, next month, and next year? Being the leader of your life comes with responsibility and the conscious understanding that what you do today can and will affect tomorrow. Don’t do it the hard way by making the same choices that have led you down a crocked and bumpy path; instead, choose to make your way through the pathway that is clearly marked: “ Infinite source of possibilities and potentialities.” This path is the one to follow if you choose to trust the process of life and believe that remarkable experiences are coming your way. When you learn to live from this perspective, then you are the one manifesting everything.
