Have you seen your inner child lately?
Posted by Intuition Girl
Have you ever felt like you have lost touch with yourself? I imagine Vincent van Gogh must have struggled much with his mental disparity; but he still found an outlet to express his higher self through his artwork. Sometimes, you don’t know which way to turn and it seems like everything is coming at you in different directions. A lot of us get to that point in our lives where we begin asking ourselves, “where did I go wrong?” There is never a simple answer. We will always have more questions as to how we arrived at the place where we are. This often stems from a childhood experience, or a past issue that keeps haunting our lives and our overall wellbeing.
Are you searching your soul?
Michael Jackson sings, “Have you seen my Childhood? I’m searching for the world that I come from. ‘Cause I’ve been looking around in the lost and found of my heart…” Are you looking in the lost and found in your own heart these days? Not sure which way to proceed? Can’t decide whether the decisions that you are making in your life are the right ones for you? If you are at that crossroad in your life and you find that you are searching your soul for the answers and for the purpose in your life, then you need to take a long hard look at the passageway that has led you to where you are today. For some of us, emotional wounds run deep and create a barrier in our attempts to progress in life. While we do not intentionally set ourselves up for failure, we do set ourselves up for the roadblocks that we create because our thinking and learned behavior patterns take over when we least expect it.
So what now?
Now is the time for you to make an active decision to be a participant in your life. This is your make or break choice on whether or not you want to live a purpose-filled life of joy, or a life filled with misery. To awaken your inner child and re-connect with your soul requires you to heal the memories of your past and find peace with your choices and decisions…for each choice is simply an experience that we willingly participated in. Therefore, I invite you to come to terms with those realities from your past so that you can move forward in the present and truly enjoy the future.
Your time is now. Your inner child wants you to rediscover his or her presence in your life now. Look in the lost and found of your heart and rediscover the positive energy that will bring you to heighten awareness. This heighten awareness will allow you to concentrate on your goals and to explore ways to fall in love with yourself all over again.
Until we speak again, I am

Don’t eat the yellow snow! Winter tips for creative living
Posted by Intuition Girl
Remember when we were little and the older kids would tell us that we shouldn’t eat the yellow snow? Sometimes, the older we get, the wiser we get. That — and experience tells us what we should and shouldn’t do for our own sake and our own health. But there’s always that one individual that no matter how many times he’s been told to not do something, he does it anyway. Every time that individual repeats his actions, he beats his head against the wall and wonders why he did it again.
Don’t eat the yellow snow! It’s right there in front of you. You’ve been advised not to eat it. Yet you continue to eat it again and again. That’s kind of what happens when you keep repeating the same actions to acquire a different result. Stop it!
In order to achieve the best possible outcome, (besides not eating the yellow snow) one must take a long look at how she’s approaching her challenges and go beyond the norm, and go beyond the measures that she’s taken in the past. Sometimes, we have to tackle the one problem we have with different insights and ideas. It’s not that difficult; especially if you’ve digested some rather unsavory ramifications time and time again.
Winter tips for creative living
Intuition and Meditation:
Use your intuition and experience to work for you and not against you. If you’ve battled the same battles, then you’re not in the right mindset. That means that whatever thoughts are spinning in your head must be tossed to the wayside. Start fresh. Start thinking power and empowerment. Don’t become your worst own enemy by continuing to do the same negative things to achieve success and wealth in your life. Look back at your life and see what has worked and what has not worked. Hold that thought. Now, take a deep breath and relax your mind totally. Ask yourself, “What can I do to attain_____?” (Fill in the blank.) Take another breath. Close your eyes and imagine beyond all that you’ve ever thought about in your life. Go deeper. Deeper still. Where are you in your mind? What windows of opportunity do you see affront of you? Do you see any ideas that can help you achieve what it is you want to reach? If you’re not seeing them, you’re missing the ball. You have got to get right with your mind, your body, and your spirit in order to balance the creative flow and energy in your life…and in your livelihood. You don’t have to go through life eating the yellow snow and hoping it’ll taste better the next time around. You are ready to move beyond that spot, and move forward to play and enjoy the beauty and wonder of winter (and your life) to build that igloo, build that snowman, or just to frolic in the white powdery crystals that grace our view.
Listen to your inner child
Winter is the season of reflection. It is during this time that most of us take time to muse at the wonders and events of our childhoods, our relationships, our dreams, our hopes, and our futures. Now is the perfect time to grab the reigns of your sleigh, set a course for adventure, and take in the beauty that is life and what it has to offer us. You are a part of that integral fabric of nature that makes this world a much more beautiful place to be…and what you do in this life can affect your destiny in a number of positive (and negative) ways. Isn’t it time, you listened to your inner voice… your inner child to retrieve the magic of what it means to be alive and to simply be here at this moment? When you’ve taken the steps to reflect in meditation and thoughtfulness, you will rediscover that magical feeling again. And when you do, you are on the right path toward overcoming mistakes of the past to create a bright new future for yourself and for the ones you love.
Fire dancing
Ever watched a flame in your fireplace? The flames dance in rhythmic and hypnotic sync. You can hear the wooden logs crackling and hissing as the flames grow. There’s a whole lot of energy in that fireplace. So much energy, that you can feel its warmth and vibration. That’s how you need to mold your mind. Create a spark of fire in your mind and keep the flame ignited with intuitive thinking and insightful thoughts on how to move forward every step of the way. You might still run into some hiccups but that’s okay. We all do. The important thing to remember is to always keep your flame alive, and never let it be diminished by negative thinking or by re-hashing the same mistakes of the past.
PS. Please don’t eat the yellow snow

Overcoming paralyzing fear
Posted by Intuition Girl
Question 2
Dear Joan Marie:
Every time I want to move forward in life I get severe anxiety attacks and I become paralyzed with fear. Will I ever be able to heal this?
Thank you,
Samantha Tucker
Answer 2
Dear Samantha:
This is a powerful question and one I deal with often with my clients. What seems to be happening is conflict between your Higher Self (your soul) and your Ego. It is really important not to force anything. Your child within is scared and you need to get to the bottom of it with her and find out why through your self-observation. Your Ego Mind actually believes that it is protecting you by bringing up your fear but in truth it is preventing your forward movement as you focus on your limiting beliefs.
I always recommend to my clients to ask their emotions to speak to them. Sit with your anxiety and fear- they have a voice- go beneath the words of what is there and allow the emotions to lift so you can let them go. 
By observing our Ego thinking, we can become aware of those beliefs and feelings that are holding us back. It is important to learn how to create a continuous flow of love energy. Any of my meditation CD’s will assist you with this. The Forgiveness and Healing Program will help tremendously as you change your feelings and dwell on that which brings you joy.
Our Ego is actually a gift to us when utilized in the right way. It reveals to us all those emotions that we need to let go of so we can grow and heal.
