5 Tips to Coexisting in Peace and Harmony
Posted by Intuition Girl
“We are all in the world together and so we must work together for the benefit of the whole in order for all of us to coexist in balance and harmony.” – Joan Marie Whelan
The “whole” in this instance is the “whole” Universe, and the Universal flow of energy. When we work against the flow of Universal energy, we are disrupting harmony and balance in our own lives, the lives of others, and even the kinetic energy from around the globe. We truly are in a transformational movement and now is the perfect time to learn from the inner truth that is ready to reveal itself to us.
While the entire Nation is in the process of recovery from grueling economic circumstances, we are also in a time of transformation and reawakening to what values are most important in our lives. What are your personal and professional priorities? In what behaviors are you engaged? How are you spiritually, emotionally, physically and financially? How you work with the Universal flow of energy determines your strength in matters of stamina, mental awareness, emotional well-being, fiscal stability and intuitive power.
Sometimes, we have to take a few steps backward to make the climb upward. That is how many of our unseen blessings come to us. We are given opportunities again and again to realize our true potentiality in becoming part of the solution to both peace and harmony in even the most difficult times.
Here are five simple tips to coexisting in peace and harmony:
1. Reexamine your ultimate goal and purpose of life, including your economic well-being.
2. Instead of thinking financial recovery, think moral recovery first!
3. Practice compassion, sharing and caring.
4. Learn and apply genuine acceptance of other people’s opinions.
5. Never respond with anger, hatred or ridicule.
Like Michael Jackson’s song, “Man in the Mirror,” the change we would like to see and the change we want to become, must begin on an individual level first.

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.

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,

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

Awakening your Authentic Self to the Laws of Universal Flow
Posted by Intuition Girl
QUESTION # 1
Dear Joan Marie,
I am a spiritual person and enjoy reading and listening to pretty much everything to make my life better and keep me on my charted path. I believe in the law of Attraction and affirmations – although, I ‘m having a difficult time understanding the time it takes to get results. It seems that one negative thought gets faster results than 1000 positive ones. Why is this? I’ll try and catch a negative thought and change it.
Also, the saying – “I can’t afford that” this is a mind virus, but, when I look at my bank account how do I overlook the lack of money? Would you suggest to spend over your income because you know and believe that the money will come?
I don’t want to be foolish and irresponsible – I’m asking this sincerely and respectfully.
E. Campbell
Answer
Dear E. Campbell:
I honor you for your desire and willingness to grow and learn but please understand that there is a big difference between the process of seeking knowledge in information and living the process. Once you begin to live a life of unquestioning trust in the process of the Laws of Universal Flow, your life can change dramatically and things can happen very quickly. The truth is you must deal with all your emotional blocks and beliefs tied in with money—your fears, worthiness and other emotional issues that are preventing your flow. If time is elapsing and your desires are not being met than you must look at your own inner self. Do you actually believe you can create that which you are seeking? Are you prepared for the change coming into your life? In order to attract positive flow in your life- your internal vibration – mind-body and soul must be in alignment. In my various programs, I teach this process.
Every thought and action together with our behavior patterns is brought about through our habits and our beliefs. We can cultivate good habits as easily as we create destructive habits—it is a choice. Being conscious of where you are placing your energy and disciplining your mind are vital to your success. The depth of the knowingness in your mind, body and spirit will deepen as your emotional blocks are released and your feelings of self-worth and value improve.
It sounds as though you are fighting a war in your mind – it is between your authentic self who wants to awaken and become more whole and your ego self who likes you just the way you are. For your true self to win this battle, you must be the leader in your life and be the one voice in charge. I often say to all negative thoughts –”that is a lie- the truth is this.” It is up to you to state your truth and own it.
Attraction is not just about positive thoughts- it is about owning your thoughts- knowing without a grain of doubt that they are true and living them. I hope all this helps. I could go on for pages with all of this but this is a great start for you. The most important suggestion I can offer you is: “Never give up.” Continue on your quest and allow your journey to be a fun-filled adventure and a gift.
Many Blessings,
Joan Marie the Gift, Intuition Girl
