The Drug of Life
Posted by Intuition Girl
Too many people today are turn to drinking, drugs or pot (among other things) to find their inner peace and happiness in life. For some, these alternative solutions are temporary fixes from inner struggles they have been battling their entire lives. Ever heard that phrase, “Putting a band-aid on a bullet wound”? That is exactly the same thing that is occurring when people indulge in these addictions to resolve their problems.
Where do you find your sense of worth, your sense of happiness, and your sense of purpose in life? When you ground yourself in the present moment, you begin to channel your higher consciousness, your Inner Soul that has the capability to look beyond any imperfections and challenges in your life. Joy is not something that you achieve; it is something that you live. In other words, you must live in joy to live in peace.
But Joan Marie, I am constantly being bombarded with challenges, events and obstacles that are strangling my life – how can I be happy when these things constantly happen? Are you asking me why you cannot be happy? If so, I will reiterate what I have mentioned in the past, “Joy is a completely natural state of being. It is a sense of belonging, a thought of feeling connected or simply allowing your heart and soul to sing with contentment.” Happiness is not something you gain, it is something you live.
Instead of turning to temporary fixes, why not inject yourself with the drug of life. You create happiness and inner peace when you do the things you enjoy. Whether that’s taking a stroll in the park, working in the garden or just listening to some beautiful music — it’s the point that you are doing something for yourself and giving yourself room to expand your mind, heart, body and Soul.
Happiness happens all the time if you allow it to blossom. You must only reclaim that feeling as your own. It is always there within your Inner Soul. No one or nothing can penetrate your innate joy unless you choose to allow it. Gift to yourself the drug of life and watch how you begin to positively transform yourself from the inside out!
I invite you to take a look at my new 5-Month interactive mastery program which will start in June. Hopefully this is the year when you feel called to invest in yourself and give yourself the gift of a self-improvement and inner joy as you Follow your Inner Compass. If you feel that a program like this will serve you to advance your goals, please click here to learn more about it:

What if God IS a Reflection of You and Me?
Posted by Intuition Girl
Joan Osborne asks, “What if God were one of us?” I ask you, “what if God IS a reflection of us?”
We all come from the same Source and we all have been blessed to come into this world free of resentment, anger, fear or worry. Our very being revolves around love, peace, harmony, balance, laughter and joy. Right from the very beginning we are given the right to choose and as free thinking beings, we are all capable of good and evil.
In this respect, we are all born the same way, physically function the same ways … the differences, however, are in our perception of how we interact on both a human and spiritual level; and how we perceive the world around us and the cultural divides that sometimes limit our scope of view.
If we define God as the “good” in us, and are interconnected to the Universal flow of energy, then we can assume that being good means being at peace and in harmony in our environment, our relationships, and with the global community in general.
What message do we convey to others? Being the reflection of God takes a certain amount of effort, commitment and responsibility. It means that in everything we see, hear, say, and feel – we must find the love and beauty in it first. It is thinking and feeling before we act. It is expressing compassion and a true sense of caring and sharing. You are, after all, a representation of goodness and the qualities of the Divine.
What are the benefits of being a reflection of God and being in sync with the Universal flow of energy? The advantages of emitting this goodness in our lives are that we ultimately begin to attract positive events, people, and opportunities that we might miss otherwise.
This idea of bliss crosses multinational and multicultural lines as well. We are, as the human race, intended to live purposeful and fulfilling lives. The rewards or punishments we receive are of our own choosing in most circumstances. For instance, if we choose to live in misery, we lead miserable lives. If we choose to live in anger, we lead hurtful lives. The same holds true when we choose to live in peace and in happiness. We cannot always forget our pasts, but we can learn to forgive and move forward – and that is elemental in determining the fate of a blessed or empty future. We are, in a sense, a reflection of our own doing and undoing. What path have you chosen?
Until we speak again, I am

Opportunity comes fast and furious
Posted by Intuition Girl
Have you ever noticed that when opportunity arises, it’s never in “our time”? Rather, it comes at sometimes the most “inopportune” times – meaning that we’re often not prepared to receive it and use it to our advantage.
Here’s a great example: An individual I know (we’ll call him Dan) had a fairly-good career, but he was pining to move to another part of the country to be near the rest of his family. Dan had begun submitting resumes to different employers for a couple of months, when he suddenly got a phone call. In a twist of “unexpected” fate, he was offered the position he’d been trying to attain. Now Dan had to reshape all his current plans because the opportunity came so quickly. It took Dan a few days to make his decision to move, but only after he was caught so off guard. But was he really? You see, Dan had made the active decision months earlier to pursue another career. The intention was planted, and as time unfolded, his actions ruled his outcome – those actions transformed into his acquiring the job he sought.
Many times, we plant seeds of intention…unintentionally. What I mean by that is sometimes we start thinking about what we want; except when we do, we have planted a seed of intention. Intention turns to action, and action results in an equal reaction. The same holds true for ill thoughts. Unlike Dan, there are some people who bring negative results into their lives because they plant unhealthy seeds in their minds. If you can think it, it can happen. The whole point of the matter is that whatever you think, you become. So if your true intention and desire is to land the job of your dreams, you will subconsciously begin acting on that thought’s behalf. The same holds true for pessimism and procrastination. If you think that you “can’t” perform a certain job, or “I’ll never own a house,” or “I can’t get that promotion,” etc. — then guess what? You won’t.
Opportunity always comes fast and furious but we have to be ready to receive it. When we plant the seed of intention – for whatever that may be – we must realize that it will come. It may not magically appear overnight, but when opportunity does come knocking at life’s door, you’ve got to be mentally and intuitively prepared by opening your mind to the potential and blessings that are ready to come into your life.
What are you thinking at this moment? If you’re like Dan, you’re ready to acquire prosperity, wealth, and happiness. You can’t afford to not be prepared for opportunity. You know that whatever it is that your heart desires that you can attain it. But it begins with a seed of intention, and that intention requires action on your part. How far are you willing to go to land the job you’ve always wanted? How deep are you willing to dive to find that buried treasure? How long are you going to keep stopping yourself from achieving success? It really boils down to you. You are a walking billboard indicative of your life. What you project is just as important as what you take into your mind’s eye. When your perception of life is in tune with your focus of intention, you begin to rapidly increase your chances at opportunity. Go ahead – plant your seed for opportunities today. I know you can, and so do you.

Sharing the Truth with your Ego Mind
Posted by Intuition Girl
Question # 2
Hi Joan Marie:
Thank you for blessing all of our lives. It has been a great privilege to have been directed by the Universe to you. I still do not know the exact direction my life is going but I am working on it. I need to take better care of myself so that I don’t continually sabotage my outcome. I know I have a lot of work to do on myself and I would really love to truly believe in my possibilities and myself.
I know for a fact that I have huge potential; I just do not have the sight you have or see exactly what my future life will be. I would appreciate if you would share some thoughts with me as to how I can keep my energy high so that my ego will no longer take me down for not having the money to move forward or the self talk that stops my forward movement.
Thank you for your assistance,
Jackie K.
ANSWER
Dear Jackie:
This is a great email. The ego is a tricky part of us. On one hand the ego is acting as our protector and wanting to keep us from harm when the truth is most times it is keeping us from succeeding and creating what we need in life.
What is helpful to do is first give your ego a job. When you become aware that your fear or the feeling of lack is surfacing within you, be aware that is the ego trying to keep you small. I would like you to say to your ego: “why don’t you come to the other side of the road with me.” Share with your ego the truth of whom you are and that this is the path you are now taking. Let the ego know that she/ he can also participate and help you on this new path.
Once you give your ego a job and a purpose it will join you on the other side of the road. It would also serve you to have a game plan for yourself and be prepared to have several discussions with your ego mind. This way when your ego wants to take you out or it challenges your decisions, you can so “No Thank You,” that is not true–this plan is my plan to propel me forward. Then again invite your ego mind to please join you.
One last suggestion–I would also like you to understand your relationship with money and bless money with gratitude.
Blessings,
Joan Marie, the Gift – Intuition Girl

Teaching Children: You are Enough
Posted by Intuition Girl
Question # 1
Dear Joan Marie:
I have a friend whose 12-year old child just had a serious accident. He injured himself while playing with friends. In his short life, he has injured himself several times and has ended up receiving stitches, having a concussion and now injuring his eyes. I was wondering if you had any insight into this child and his situation. I believe that he subconsciously is seeking attention but the results always seem to cause him and his family great pain.
I would really like to hear if you can give me your thoughts on this situation and child.
Thank you, Terry W.
ANSWER
Dear Terry:
Thank you for your email. I do feel that this child is unconsciously craving attention. I believe that deep within himself he is feeling very insecure and is seeking extra attention. The best advice for this child and all of us who are seeking outside approval is to learn that you are enough. I want to repeat that statement: “You are enough.”
How we teach a child this is that we ourselves as parents need to feel whole within as well. The best thing this family can do and anyone who relates to this question is to have in depth communication as a family. In today’s world, we are all too busy rushing and doing things just to keep busy and consequently, we do not spend enough of time simply being and feeling. This state of contentment can only happen when we slow down and actually observe our lives and the lives of those that we are intimately connected to. It is important for all parties to feel safe so they can open their heart and express what is going on deep within their core.
Understanding that you are enough—is a learned art, and is as equally important as loving and appreciating all of you. If each one of us would understand that we alone are enough the world would be a much better place.
Enjoy the blessings of being you,
Joan Marie, the Gift – Intuition Girl
