1. WELCOME
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
Dear Readers -
The official release date for my new book, "Compass of the Soul" is just weeks away. I'll be sending out a special newsletter later this month filled with intuition tips, information about "Compass," and giveaways for all of you who purchase the book on line. Stay tuned!
This month also begins a new book tour. I'll be presenting classes and lectures in Massachusetts, New York and New Hampshire this March. See #5 below for more detail.
I've received many notes from people concerned about the increased threat of war. Writer and speaker, Iyanla Vanzant addressed both the fear we experience and the power that we hold in our hearts and minds when she noted, "You want to speak out and sometimes strike out to make things happen, but don't forget, God works from the inside out. You must first look within yourself to eliminate the fear, the anger, the imbalance in your mind and life. Then, and only then, can you move forward peacefully and powerfully to make the changes needed in the world."
Intuitively yours,
Lynn

4. GOING TO PEACE VERSUS GOING TO WAR
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
I live in the United States as do a majority of the readers of this newsletter. The threat of war stands front and center, day and night, on the American stage. It's difficult to avoid the headlines with the relentless and often bombastic media coverage.
Through the same media we see images of people thousands of miles away. Through the Internet we can read messages from them and see pictures of what is happening to them in their villages and countries. What strikes me is that "they" are "us." We all have hopes and fears. We all want to love and be loved. We all want to feel connected to our family and community and we all want our children to grow and thrive in a world of peace.
Whatever one's political thoughts and beliefs, few of us truly DESIRE war. We are all aware that war creates physical, emotional and spiritual suffering on all sides of the human family. It creates fear, anxiety and hatred, not the peace that we want at the heart of our world and our lives.
The drumbeat of war adds up to a surefire recipe for major angst. The kind that creeps up on you at work or play and smothers whatever it is you're trying to do. The kind that assaults you at three in the morning when you're weak and defenseless, leaving you with sweating palms and pounding heart. It's hard to avoid. But what can you do? You may feel you can hardly control your own life, never mind what happens among nations hell-bent on attacking one another.
While it may seem like a small thing -- you can start by realizing the enormous power of your thoughts. What you think . . . you are. And who you are has influence. What you give your attention to expands. When you think thoughts of revenge -- getting even or exerting your power over another -- you feed the frenzy. On the other hand, peaceful thoughts, even for a few moments several times a day, will calm the turbulence within you and contribute to calm outside of you.
Dr. Christiane Northrup writes in her newsletter, "Dozens of studies have documented the fact that our thoughts can and do affect others in profound and measurable ways. When a critical mass of individuals (1 percent of the population) was brought together to practice Transcendental Meditation in various areas of the world, for example, there was a measurable decrease in the number of violent crimes, suicides, terrorist attacks, and even international conflicts worldwide."
Make a conscious choice to focus on what you want to create -- a peaceful world with good and wise leaders. Avoid joining in negative, fear based discussions about the world. Instead, consciously focus on a future in which all the world's people live in peace, and children everywhere are assured of a happy childhood and a fulfilling and abundant life.
Will the world change overnight? Not likely. But as more and more people think peaceful, powerful thoughts, change will occur. Meanwhile, the anxiety within you will diminish. Calm will prevail. You'll begin to hear a still, small voice -- a whispering from your soul -- reassuring you that you're on the right path to personal peace. And, really... it all begins there.

6. PROSPERITY PRAYER
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
I've written a "Prosperity Prayer" as part of a new book. I've used it myself, shared it with some clients and a few friends and we've all had some amazing results. Money, ideas and opportunities seem to come miraculously after saying the prayer for a few days to a few weeks. Rather than have you wait for a year or more before the book comes out, I decided to make it available now. If you'd like to have a copy, send an e-mail to ProsperityPrayer@LynnRobinson.com. You'll receive it by auto-responder. The full text of the prayer chapter is available at my Web site http://www.LynnRobinson.com. Click on "articles."
You can also order a beautifully framed copy of it at http://www.LynnRobinson.com/prod_products.html
I LOVE TO HEAR YOUR SUCCESS STORIES. PLEASE SEND ME A NOTE!
