Do you believe there is a need to change yourself?
Posted by Intuition Girl
Dear Friends,
Many of us believe that there is a need to change the world whether it be our school system, our government or the way business is performed but we fail to recognize the fact that all change starts on the inside of each one of us first.
There is an inner problem that is facing the world and until it is recognized and dealt with, we will not be able to illicit change in our world order. It is our unwillingness to slow down long enough so that we can take inventory of our own lives–our own household and see the bigger picture of where we have been, where are we going and how are we planning to get there.
PRACTICE exhibiting the same discipline on yourself that you wish to invoke on others. Seriously! Gandhi famously put it: “We must embody the change we wish to see in the world.” If we wish to live in a society that is less violent, then we as individuals must take steps to become less violent whether in our actions or reactions to what is placed in front of us daily whether in entertainment, media or in social interactions because those negative emotions that we accuse others of possessing are being condoned by you.
Let us take our individual responsibility seriously and become the change that we wish to see in the world. Of course it won’t be easy–becoming a more conscious person never is!

February 2, 2011 “Focus on You” Transcript:
Cristina Barcia} Thank you Joan. . .Always your fan!
Joan Marie Whelan} I knew it was you!!!!! Girl- how are you??? We miss you and the gang at your office- I was thinking of you all recently….. I wish you could participate in the 5 month program…. it is amazing and you will go through the roof in a good way. I have so many men in this class- it would be nice to have a few more women. Who would have thought that.
You need to daily own the truth of who you are- this is for all of you- hugs, JM
Cristina Barcia} Miss you too! My best to your mom too . . God, I loved that course and the one after. . haha. . I don’t feel I am in a position to take the 5 month course at the present moment, though. . Feel like I have to own up to the tools you taught us (ME) in the first 2. . .Make sense?
Cristina Barcia} Your word “daily” in your response struck me. . . Got that one.
Donna Lynn} Thanks for the love!
Kristen Cort} Thank you Joan Marie!! : )
Joan Marie Whelan} I had so much fun with you all tonight!!! This was very productive. Let’s do it again. Look for an announcement on my next live chat. I am sending you all so much love.
I also answer questions- in my free newsletter – if you are not signed up please do- love you all, JM
Donna Lynn} What do you see for the future?
Joan Marie Whelan} Donna:- you are not owning what you are praying for! You have to be it at the same time-look at what is blocking you- this will help.
Donna Lynn} Hugs for you!!!
Joan Marie Whelan} Cristina: were you in my Manifestation Method Program!
Cristina Barcia} yes (blush)
Joan Marie Whelan} Carol Ann- it is not about the other’s responding or not- it is what you are doing about it for yourself. When we keep things in and process in silence it actually hurts you and doesn’t help you.
The key is respect and putting your foot down and speaking up and saying this is what serves me and what we as a family need to begin working on and experiencing. Hope this helps. Hugs, JM
CarolAnn BaileyLloyd }Thank you, JM 
Cristina Barcia} Joan Marie – Can you see in what other areas I have to prepare more? Where should I lean towards first? I just see so much that I have to work on (again). . Maybe help me list?
Jill Engelmann} maybe do instead of TRY!!!
Donna Lynn} I keep trying to raise my energy level by prayer/meditation and not worrying so I can have simple abundance…
Jill Engelmann} Love the sun thing!!! I feel tan already… lol
Joan Marie Whelan} Kristen- it is not just about ding- it is about what is going on inside of you. The best way to describe it- is the sun lives inside of you- feel the sun rays beaming in every cell of your body- and ramping up your watts internally. Hugs, JM
Donna Lynn} I love what you told Jill! What do you see for me?
Joan Marie Whelan} Donna: What are you expecting on 2/11- ? The 12th no is more highlighted for you- I am being honest. You need to step up in order to create more.
Money is just energy- in order for more to come in- we have to be at a level in order for it to come in…. you need to raise your vibration- which is your energy frequency.
Kristen Cort} Joan Marie, I have really been working n meditating, journaling, exercising, everything I can to increase my vibrational level. How do you see this benefiting me in this year to come?
Joan Marie Whelan} Jill- how good is my intuition!!! LOL- I knew you were looking for a job. I truly feel it is right around the corner. March is a good month for you. It maybe a referral that gets you the job. You are close so do not give up.
You are powerful and wise- can you consult? Great love is coming for you this year- late summer / fall for sure- but spring is good to get out and enjoy – you will be dating sooner than you think.
Joan Marie Whelan} 2011 is a year of being very prepared. Now more than ever is the time for all of us to step up your game- gain clarity and insight to your own life.
There will be great change this year for many! The key for us is not to get taken out by it but “rise up”. The only way to do this is have a solid foundation.
Cristina Barcia} How would you term 2011? What should we as individuals focus on so that we help ourselves focus correctly.
CarolAnn BaileyLloyd} Good question…
Cristina Barcia} I ask ’cause for me I feel I have been out of focus. .. and regressed to a state I don’t want to be in.
Donna Lynn} Is Feb 11th an important date for me and do you see success in my near future or more money?
Joan Marie Whelan} Jill- you are funny! maybe we are related!!! I do see great things for you but I also feel you need to be a bit more persistent. In the end you will get what you want but there will be a few delays. The key for you is to not get so frustrated and immediately begin working on the solutions.
I feel like you need a job or more money – what is it you are looking for?
Jill Engelmann} funny my initials are JM also.. :0
Jill Engelmann} Hi Joan Marie, Can you see GREAT POSITIVE things happening in the near future, like tomorrow? LOL
Joan Marie Whelan} JILL; What is your question… thanks… JM
Joan Marie Whelan} Dear Kristen: Great questions- what is blocking you- I see some fear in you especially around 3 years old…. we all have fear in life but if we can go back to the root of it- and see what caused it- it is like a domino effect and help heal all areas of your life. I do not want to get too personal with you on FB unless you want me to- but I do see some yelling going on- when you were younger- it was around you- again it can be with family- at school or in an environment not directed at you- but you felt it.
Life lesson for you and many of you on tonight is speaking up form your heart and sharing your truth. I am going to post on my website a free download- of a powerful meditation that will assist you with childhood blocks… I will get it up this week.
CarolAnn BaileyLloyd } Yes, you can post your questions and Joan Marie is answering!
Jill Engelmann} THANKS!!!
Joan Marie Whelan} HI Donna: I just sent you two comments- and they are not showing up- I cannot comment- of course tonight of all nights…. so in a quick nutshell-
You are not meant to struggle. You are very creative and I want you to step outside your comfort zone and take some risks. You need to be clear on the word struggle and how is it serving you. I know you must be screaming it is not- but somehow there is a payoff or you would not need to struggle.
Make peace with where you are! It is a must or you will continue this. You can create much more in life. Let’s also look at where is all the scarcity in your life…. you need to also be open to receiving. You are not fully there or more would come in… feel comfortable being vulnerable and safe…. love you, JM
Jill Engelmann } Hi Joan Marie, can we ask questions to you? I’m not even sure if you can see what I write? LOL
Kristen Cort} Jill, I think you need to post at the top of the page instead of commenting : )
Joan Marie Whelan} HI Donna: The yellow roses are for you- they mean joy- so you must need a bit more joy in your life. The key for you is can you connect back to that piece of you that did not feel safe and connect with her- read my comment t Kristen it will help… hugs, JM
Joan Marie Whelan} Kristen- when I say speak up form your heart. I do believe it is important to be honest. I feel that you can share with people how they treat you or speak to you hurts you.
I do not feel we need to yell and scream back.. We are all human and have your moments. When we keep your emotions in- then and some point we explode. Also how people are speaking to you- either helps you to feel good about you and supports you or takes you out.
CarolAnn BaileyLloyd} I’ve got a question in response to this, Joan Marie… I am one of those, who probably like Kristen, holds back a lot of emotions because that’s how I personally deal with situations. I kind of have to work through them in silence…one of my biggest fears is the potential that a lack of responsiveness may occur when speaking form the ♥ ?
Joan Marie Whelan} Kristen- you do not believe in you- and that is why you are in a holding pattern you are feeding into self doubt and again a big theme with you is you are scared deep within. How to heal your fear is to go back to when you were most frightened- see yourself at that time and then have you now – as an adult g talk t the frightened child and talk with her- ask her what she needs form you- let her know you are in charge now and begin building a relationship with her….. hope this helps… hugs, JM
Donna Lynn} I always felt unprotected as a child growing up w/ my father in a rough neighborhood…and going on further than a BA is frustrating to me…oh thanks Joan Marie-I just saw the post…I love dark pink roses-my living room has blue couches and carpet…I don’t remember the yellow for mom but I’m glad she is smiling…She saw an angel before she died…: )
CarolAnn BaileyLloyd} I know that Sasha Sabbeth was really excited about tonight’s event…wonder if she is going to be here.
Joan Marie Whelan} Donna: I will say your mom is smiling in heaven! she loves yellow roses- and or you do too! she is showing me lots of flowers- a lit candle and a gold chain- do you have green in your home- I am seeing green and blue- it could be a rug- a chair- I feel like it is in the TV room-
Donna Lynn} I miss her…She worked hard and had a tough life…
Joan Marie Whelan} Donna:– you are so funny- Your mom definitely did her best- and she did the best she could……
Joan Marie Whelan} Kristen- question 2- tools to help you all- the bottom line for everyone is to make peace with what is blocking you- this alone helps to diminish it.
This may sound crazy but everything is energy – so your blocks also have a vice- where did this vice come from…. somewhere you are repeating history and this needs to stop.
To build confidence- you need to build your wheel of self esteem- every night before you go to bed- list a few things on why is it good to be you!
Donna Lynn} Are you sure you are picking up these vibes form Kristen? I came from a home with a lot of yelling going on but there was lots of love as well! My mom did her best!
Joan Marie Whelan} Cristina: Great questions…. Forgiveness is about you- not them. Your family members are not going to change nor are they supposed to. You need to look at yourself and say why am I participating in this and how do I want to show up in these situations….. The truth is- you need to come at this as a Leader and you can also let them know form your heart what you are looking for from them.
What were your lessons? You not trusting is about you- not them. You need t trust yourself and put yourself in good situations also speak up. Once you trust you- life will change… hope this helps… Hugs, JM
Donna Lynn} I posted questions earlier-do you want me to repeat them…It’s hard to find peace when there is so much turmoil (monetary and family)
Kristen Cort} Joan Marie, I feel like I have been stuck in a holding pattern. In my career, and in relationships. I am having trouble moving forward in these areas.
Joan Marie Whelan} Read your responses- and let me know if something comes up for you- with what I wrote and if you have more questions or need more guidance… thanks- JM
Joan Marie Whelan} HI All- I am here commenting and it is not showing up – we are looking into it… otherwise I will post form here – the top….
Donna Lynn} Hey, I can read your comment…all
CarolAnn BaileyLloyd} Hey Donna Lynn– yes, I’m here with Joan Marie and she is experiencing one of FB’s infamous tech glitches in not being able to comment. So she has to answer questions from the top end of the thread. She is such a sweet and patient woman!
Donna Lynn} …and then press SHARE…lol
Donna Lynn} I think it is best to post form the top!
Donna Lynn} Joan Marie, why do I feel I am destined for greater things when life is such a struggle to make ends meet?
Joan Marie Whelan} Hi All: I am here- and will begin reading and answering questions!!! I see some are here all ready and yes- send more we are starting…. JM
Kristen Cort} Hello Joan Marie!
Donna Lynn} Sasha, are you here? Joan Marie, are you waiting for more peeps?
Joan Marie Whelan} We’ll be live-thread chatting @ 6pm PST / 9 pm EST. Post your questions as Kristen Cort has below and I will be answering you all as time permits! Looking forward t it tonight! Blessings, JM
CarolAnn BaileyLloyd} I think Joan Marie is going to be on here shortly!
Donna Lynn} oh good!
CarolAnn BaileyLloyd} I’m fairly excited about this event tonight — looking forward to seeing what type of advice Joan Marie can offer us
Cristina Barcia} I remember parts of your lectures in the past with regards to forgiveness and releasing the resentment of those who wrong you. I want to forgive peple who are close to me and are still very present in my life. My struggle is that the wrongs they have done to me, those few wrongs that affect my ability to trust, are patterns of their behavior that they chose NOT to change. Now, an easy answer to this question would be to just separate myself from these peple. But I honestly can’t. Because I don’t want to. Is that really the only option in a scenario like this? Am I making sense with this question here? Thank you
Joan Marie Whelan} Becoming a Positive Flame
“How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a weary world.” ~ William Shakespeare I believe that we can all shed a little light in the darkness of your recent times.
Joan Marie Whelan} Don’t forget! Tomorrow night is the night! 9pm EST/ 6pm PT RIGHT HERE! If you would like to post some questions on this group today, I’ll be reviewing them tomorrow and answering as many as I can! Blessings – JM
Sasha Sabbeth} OK. I am clear now. Really looking forward to this!
Sasha Sabbeth} In fact, xoxoxo
Sasha Sabbeth} Would someone please tell me the logistics of how this works. The Live Chat begins at 6:00 PM PST. Do we just come to this page and follow the posts? Thank you.
Joan Marie Whelan} See my note about tonight’s event!
Donna Lynn} Hi Joan Marie! I don’t know why my life has always been a struggle to make ends meet…I always felt I was destined for greater things…
Kristen Cort} I am so excited about this! Thank you for sharing your gift s generously. Here are some questions I have : )
1. How can I hone in on what is causing energy blockages within me, or what is in the way of me achieving my goals.
2. When I become clear on what is hindering me, what are some exercises, or tools I can use to overcome the blocks.
3. What are some tools or exercises I can use to increase my confidence and let go of the past.
Thank you Joan Marie!!
Cristina Barcia} You and I just met here. . .but I am with you on these questions. . I hope she answers. . Take care
Joan Marie Whelan} The date has been set friends — I am looking forward to sharing a LIVE thread with you on this group! Have your questions ready! Event details are set below! Blessings — JMW

Trusting Yourself means trusting your Inner Compass
Posted by Intuition Girl
Can you truly trust yourself to make all the right choices for your life? If you even hesitated slightly on that answer, your inner compass might not be in sync with your potentiality. Ideally, you want to gain and maintain perfect balance with your intuition so that you can attract and achieve overall health, wealth and prosperity in all areas of your lifestyle.
Understanding and making wise decisions is a choice you proactively make in alignment with your inner compass. In doing so, you are automatically setting yourself up for success. Ultimately, that is what anyone wants in life: to be a success. Successful in love, professionally successful, successful in health…the list goes on and on. What has been stopping you from owning your success?
To guide your journey in life, you must be willing to become the leader of your life. Remember in elementary school when the teacher made you the line leader? Wasn’t that a great feeling? All of a sudden you get to control how fast or slow your line goes. Not only that, you got to choose what direction the line was going to go and where it was going to wind up. Now, imagine if you had that control over your own life… Well, actually you do. Maybe you just have not realized that yet…or perhaps you have not been letting your intuition, your inner compass, give you the directional aides to help move you in the appropriate path.
It is really not all that difficult to fine-tune your inner guidance. In fact, the more you facilitate it, the sharper and brighter it becomes. And as you extract your intuition to meet your daily needs, you find that you are simultaneously and harmoniously putting balance where it belongs: in tune with Universal flow of energy.
What have you done to create the change you want to see in your life? Let’s get started on all your hopes and dreams in this new decade. It is never too late to become the leader of your life and it is never too late to refine your inner compass to get you there!
Allow me, Joan Marie, to help guide you on your journey to self discovery and help move you in rhythm with your inner compass today! I am offering a new 5-Month Interactive Program on Following your Inner Compass starting in February. I invite you to learn more about it and see if it is a perfect fit for you.
Until we speak again,
I am, Joan Marie, your Intuition Girl

Habits you can Kick this New Year
Posted by Intuition Girl
What? How do you know that I can kick my habit, Joan Marie, you ask? Oh, I know you can kick your habit. It all depends on if you know that you can kick your habit and how willing you are to make that change. So what habits can you help me kick? Good question. If you are like countless others on the behavior treadmill, it is easy to get on and off the merry-go-round to which we have acclimated ourselves. One day you are up to the challenge, the next you are throwing in the towel. Sound like your situation? Have no fear because I am going to give you a list of habits that you can and will rid yourself if you are willing to participate in your own new behavior modification strategy!
Smoking like a freight train? Well, let’s take a walk back in your history and let’s figure out what hooked you on this nasty little habit. Was it peer pressure in high school? Maybe your parents smoked? Maybe you reach for that cigarette because you thought it was cool or even when you feel stressed or upset? Whatever your reasoning is for this habit, it is a behavior that you have learned to use as a crutch or safety net for yourself. For some it’s smoking, for others it’s a glass of scotch or food. I want you to think back to when you began this habit? Remember the first time you encountered this habit? What prompted you to participate in it? When you recreate the feeling you had that initiated your habit, you are able to understand, accept it and come to terms with it. Now say to yourself, “This habit no longer serves me. I do not need it. I am over it.” In other words, you can shift your mind set if you consciously choose to do so.
Whether it’s smoking, overeating, overindulging in shopping, nail biting, drinking too much, or other obsessive compulsive disorders or addictions — YOU have the power to conquer these habits slowly and completely once you understand the reason why you started it in the first place. Remember these experiences are not necessary for your lifestyle. You are the creator of your everyday life. Just as you choose to go after love, jobs, success, friendships or business dealings (among other pursuits), you can actively choose to spend your time, money and physical health on habits that can ultimately harm you or you can choose to spend your time, money and physical health on healthy new habits that will bring you success, happiness and peace in your life. Again, it boils down to your willingness to steer your behaviors in healthier, useful directions. All habits can be changed through discipline, conscious awareness and your sincere willingness to alter your outcome for the better.
Does this mean I have to make out a list of resolutions? Nope. I encourage you, however, to draw a map of the life you want to achieve and maintain. If it’s smoking you want to kick to the curb, or you want to lose the extra pounds you’ve put on over the years, make up your mind to do so … and DO IT. Draw a circle on a sheet of paper. Nothing fancy. Now in that circle is an image of you. What do you want connected to that central image? Health? Wealth? Happiness? Love? All of these can be yours when you reject the notion that you have to have or experience something to live.
You are required a few essentials for living: shelter, food, water and air to breathe. The rest comes second nature. If you want a long, happy and prosperous life, you now have the choice to pursue exactly that. See, I told you that you can kick your habits. For what are you waiting? And I don’t want you to do it for the ones you love; I want you to do it for yourself. Once you love yourself fully and understand that these habits no longer serve you, you suddenly find that you have the freedom and empowerment to do all the things you always wanted to do without any regrets.
Still need some pointers or a personalized strategy to help you in 2011? Call my office and let’s work together to create the life you want to lead without the habits that have been holding you hostage. I know you will be glad you did.
Until we speak again,
I am, Joan Marie, your Intuition Girl

FACEBOOK LIVE CHAT on Focus on You
Helping you understand how to focus better on you and to understand how to read a sign
Groundhog Day is infamous for the rascally critter’s prediction as to whether or not we are going to have six more weeks of winter. If he sees his shadow and runs inside, get ready for more cold…but if he does not, then warmer weather is on the way! Do you believe in signs? If you do, then you are not alone. In fact thousands of people every day see, hear, read or dream something that they believe to be a sign in their lives. Sometimes people receive these signals as signs of prosperity while others fear them to be ominous ones. Have you ever gotten a message or some inkling that something is awry or maybe you get a powerful gut feeling about something or someone? Do you follow signs to help you get somewhere and is it actually leading you in the wrong direction?
Wednesday, February 2nd, I will be hosting a LIVE Facebook Chat on my group “Focus on You”
9pm EST/6pm PST
Are you going to be there? I will be taking questions about the signals you have encountered in your life and how to use those signs to your best advantage. The “Focus on You” group is open to all Facebook members. I hope you will join me there! Click here to visit and join the group FOCUS on YOU
