Hurricane of the Heart
Posted by Intuition Girl
Have you ever been in a situation where you felt so much emotion that it felt as if you were going to implode? The worst part about it is that these feelings typically begin very small but over time, they 
breed into a mega-storm of emotions. Sometimes we can head these things off at the pass if we are willing to deal with our feelings right as they happen. Unfortunately we usually let these emotions build and build until they get out of control, which usually result in harm to ourselves and those around us.
Nature is unpredictable as is the nature of mankind. But if you can see a storm, or metaphorical storm brewing, you can take the necessary precautions to protect life and limb. The same holds true for matters of the heart, mind, soul and body. The actions that we take and reactions that we have to life events can either be our undoing or our bridge to survival. When you learn from one experience, you gain the awareness and knowledge to predict what you need to do the next time something similar happens. If you allow life’s’ storms to engulf you time and time again, you are simply beating your head against a brick wall. It will not advance you and it will only continue to deplete you of your life energy.
But it hurts…
Ah yes, sometimes life lessons are hard to take. A lot of times we feel crushed, heartbroken, angered, disgusted, disappointed…you name it, we have all been there. 
But it is what you do after the fact that matters the most. Do you continue to beat yourself up for the negative feelings that you own? Do not allow the emotional storm to grow out of control. The minute you do, it has won and you have given into the power of your emotions and lost all self-control. It is time for you to get up, brush yourself off, lift your head up, own the feeling, accept the feeling, and then say, “Yes, that situation made me feel horrible, but I am not going to let it beat me. I will endeavor to prevent it from happening again.”
Until we speak again, I am

Teach Me how to become a Giver of Love
Posted by Intuition Girl
Giving and receiving love are two of the most beautiful feelings on Earth. When you are the receiver of love, you experience the joy and passion that is not only revitalizing, but it is equally intoxicating. Once you receive it, you want more and more of it. To receive love, however, you must become the giver of love. The giver of love is one who gives it unconditionally without strings attached.
This means that you must also learn how to forgive. You can only truly become a giver of love once you learn how to forgive others as well. That is sometimes easier said than done. After all, many of us carry around a lot of emotional baggage from past hurts and haunts because we believe it is too difficult to let all that sorrow and anger go. We would rather hold onto it because it emboldens us whenever we are angered. It makes us feel powerful when we get mad, upset or want to rehash old feelings. Then when we are feeling sorry for ourselves, and dumped upon, we dig up and recycle all those negative emotions and relive the sorrow and pain as we fall back into our rabbit hole. Sound familiar?
Let me teach you how to become a giver of love. You, too, can become an individual freed from the chains of your emotions. You have the innate ability to give and receive love without condition. No more resorting to old and negative feelings because now you are ready to move forward without the attachment of the old abusive feelings from your past. Just knowing that can remove those unwanted emotions and grief is already a freeing feeling, isn’t it?
The truth is, in order to be able to give love, you must truly feel safe inside of you and become comfortable being vulnerable. This is truly not an overnight process but rather one that may take you a while to achieve, yet it is truly worth the journey. All of this is an inside job and has nothing to do with another person. What you need to do in order to feel safe inside of you is to connect and love all the pieces in you that you feel are wounded. You also have to learn to trust yourself and realize you are the driving force in your life. Do you trust that you can put yourself in good, positive situations that serve you? This is something very important to look at and heal for you.
Allow me to assist you in your path to learning how to forgive and to become a giver of love. Once you have the keys to unlocking the chains that bind you, you will be able to finally rediscover the joy and love that has been missing from your life. And that, my friends, is the first step to leading a joy-filled life. Let’s connect!
I am here to help you learn to love yourself unconditionally.
Until we speak again, I am

Are your emotions running your life?
Posted by Intuition Girl
What brings you joy? Imagine if everyday you focused for a few minutes on remembering a “joyful moment”. What do you think this would do for you? How do you think you would start to feel if you kept this up on a continual basis? This one simple tool alone will help you out of a great deal of stress and anxiety and of course it will definitely help keep you in balance.
What brings me great joy is when clients share with me how happy they are working with me. It is such a gift for me to hear from someone that I have helped them make major shifts in their life in less than 5 weeks. But when I encounter anxious moments, I close my eyes and see with my heart.
I was speaking with a dear friend recently and we were talking about how much “courage” it takes to clean your emotional house. I certainly agree. It is not easy to see and then release your past experiences; however, the freedom that you will gain is priceless.
As we are preparing for 2010 some of us are getting ready in a conscious deliberate way while others are just going along in life and accepting what comes our way as if we are dragging a heavy weight on our shoulders. We must make a decision– what are you doing to prepare for your life today and in the future? Remember we have free will!
Living your present moments in a joy-filled experience will heal you and I might add is one of the greatest gifts you can give to yourself. As this year is beginning to come to an end and a new decade is dawning, I hope you will take control of your emotions and choose the feelings that you want to experience.
Please read on to my two new questions this week from my readers, Heather and Samantha.
Many Blessings,

letting go of defensiveness
Posted by Intuition Girl
Joan Marie,
Your recent article about experiencing death and rebirth on a continual basis makes a lot of sense. I am continually working on letting go of defensiveness.
Do you have any ideas of what would be a good thing to think when a defensive thought enters my head?
Thanks a bunch and thanks for your newsletters!
Warmly,
Sandy Anthony
Answer
Hi Sandy,
I am so glad you are reading the articles and taking them to heart. They are written to serve as a great tool to assist you on your journey. Your question is powerful! What you are becoming aware of whether you realize it or not is that your ego mind is trying to keep you in a place of stagnation and control.
When we feel as though we need to defend ourselves, our ego mind is working double time and is attempting to have you make a judgment call, which means that we must be right and someone else must be wrong. It is almost implying that we might be better than someone else or knows more than someone else. This is clearly the ego trying to prevent us from going within to our own emotions and see what is really going on.
What you first need to look at is why are you being defensive? I would encourage you to feel into the emotions– being defensive and go beneath that energy so you can discover what is hiding there? This can actually be a good sign for you as well because you just might be on the verge of a breakthrough and preparing to peel off another layer of debris.
Again, the best thing for you to do is to look at what emotions are laying beneath this attitude in you. Are you feeling less than or feeling like there is lack as if someone else is achieving something and you are not? Do not make this a right or wrong process—instead self-observe and see if this is simply good food for though.
Thank you for your question.
Many Blessings,
Joan Marie Whelan

What is your story?
Posted by Intuition Girl
What is your real story? Every one of us has a story? Are you addicted to struggle and believing that life is hard or is your story that life is easy and things come naturally to you?
It is time for all of us to wake up and start living consciously as we live in our truth. What I mean by this is becoming more present—don’t walk around in a fog. Instead, take control over your emotions and consciously be aware of how “you” are fueling your own situations. Really take some time to look deep within yourself and notice your patterns—your habits. Allow yourself to become more aware during the day and see where the busyness of your thoughts takes you.
It is time for all of us to see things differently. Are you someone who has a need to blame others for where you are at or are you ready to take responsibility for your present state? The choice is yours!
What I am doing right now is helping you to take a step back and assist you in becoming more aware of the patterns in your life. This is a great time while our days are longer and the air is warmer to ponder what direction you are going in.
That is why I am offering a new teleclass this fall—It is 5 weeks with me and the aim is to help you create a new positive and productive story. I invite you to join me in this short but power packed 5 week series. I know you are ready to move forward into positive change and I am committed to help you get there.
