Dear Readers -
I just saw the latest Jim Carrey movie, Bruce Almighty. It contained some wonderful spiritual truths amidst the hilarity. Morgan Freeman (a.k.a. God) decides to give Carrey his powers for one week. A combination of chaos, wonderful insight and thigh slapping humor ensues. It's a terrific tale about the power of love, prayer, and service to others. My favorite lines are at the end when Carrey says to God, "I'll be looking up for you." God shakes his head and says, "Everyone is always looking UP for me," he touches his heart, winks and disappears. I love the implied message... look within.
I receive a lot of requests for my Prosperity Prayer. I thought that since money (or lack of it) has a been huge issue with many people, I'd write about it at length this month. See #4, "How to Listen to Your Inner Millionaire." For more information on the "Prosperity Prayer" go to http://www.LynnRobinson.com/art_prosperityprayer.html.
If you are still thinking about where to go on your summer vacation, there only a few places left in my workshop at Omega on their beautiful 140-acre campus in Rhinebeck, NY. I'll be there July 18 through 20 teaching "Compass of the Soul: Finding Your Life Direction Through Intuition." See item #8 below or for more information, click here:
Intuitively yours,
Lynn

2. WISDOM QUOTES
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
"To be satisfied with what one has, that is wealth. As long as one sorely needs a certain additional amount, that man isn't rich." -- Mark Twain
"Our journey is to discover the questions that will enchant the answers within us to come out dancing." -- Mary Marcdante
"Do what is in front of you to do, right now, and let the future take care of itself. Trust that you'll know when to act and when to wait. There is a more precise timing at work that factors in all the events and people in your life. If you let it, it takes all of the information and guides you to the right place at the right time. If God is the ultimate universal air traffic controller, intuition is His radio!" -- Nancy Rosanoff
"I'm saying that we should trust our intuition. I believe that the principles of universal evolution are revealed to us through our intuition." -- Dr. Jonas Salk
"Intuition serves our deepest purpose and places us in harmony with what the universe and our soul intend." -- Sharon Franquemont
"Everyday I push away all self-doubt and replace it with self-trust. I constantly remind myself my life is unfolding in a perfect way. I trust the grand design." -- Susan Jeffers

4. HOW TO LISTEN TO YOUR INNER MILLIONAIRE
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
NOTE: If you're interested in an audio CD of this topic, visit http://www.LynnRobinson.com/prod_cds.html to order "Prosperity! The Intuitive Path to Financial and Spiritual Abundance."
What do Albert Einstein, Lillian Vernon, Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey and Stephen King have in common? The answer is: They trust their intuition! Each one of these people credits this wise "inner guide," in part, to their personal and professional success.
Webster's defines intuition as "quick and ready insight." We're all born with this inner knowing and when we listen to it and act on its wisdom we're guided unfailingly towards our hopes and dreams. It's as if we have an inner compass that points us to success and abundance.
How can you learn to tap in to your inner success coach to assist you in creating the life of your dreams? Here are seven tips:
1) LEARN TO LISTEN AND TRUST YOUR INTUITION
Intuitive information reveals itself more easily when you learn to quiet your mind through meditation or by simply sitting quietly and listening to some relaxing music. Ask your intuition questions such as, "How can I begin to bring more money into my life?" or "What career could I choose that will be both fun and financially rewarding?" Intuition reveals itself in a variety of ways. There's no one right way to receive its wisdom. It may come in the form of a hunch, a gut feeling, an inner voice, an image or in a dream.
2) BE CLEAR WHAT YOU WANT
It's been said that if you don't know where you're going any path will take you there. What are your goals, your dreams and passions? Spend some time writing about them in a journal. Draw, paint or cut out pictures from magazines that describe what you want your ideal life to look like. Dare to think big! When you're clear what you want, your intuition will begin to give you messages about how to achieve your dreams. What would you do if you were to unexpectedly receive one million dollars with the stipulation that you spend it on creating work you love. What would you do if you were to receive so much that you could do whatever you chose to do for the rest of your life and not have to worry about money? The answers to these questions are a strong message from your intuition about your life purpose. With the understanding that this money isn't in your life right now, what steps could you take to begin to live the life you dream?
3) KEEP YOUR SELF-TALK POSITIVE
Your thoughts have power. Keep your focus on what you want, not on what you don't want. Research has shown that financially successful people tend to be optimistic. Their inner dialog reveals that they expect things to work out in their favor. Imagine two people. Woman #1 holds these predominate thoughts in her mind, "I'm a failure. I'm broke all the time. I'll never get ahead." Woman #2 thinks, "I'm a good person and I deserve abundance. Things have a way of working out for me." Who would have your vote as "most likely to succeed?" Intuition can reveal itself more easily to people like woman #2 whose mind is open to its guidance.
4) MAINTAIN AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE
If you concentrate on finding whatever is good in every situation, you will discover that your life will begin to be filled with abundance. What is in your life right now that you feel grateful for? Your intuition will constantly provide you with information about how to create a life you love when you begin to focus on appreciation. It will give you nudges, hints, impulses, feelings, hunches and dreams, to move you in the right direction. If you're constantly stressed and always wishing for more time, money, freedom, energy - fill in the blank - you need to create some time for "sacred idleness." All those signs of stress are signals from your intuition that it's time to slow down... take a comfort break... give yourself a few hours or days off to reflect on your life. What do you truly want? What fills your soul? What can you let go of? What are the blessings in your life? These are all questions to ask your intuitive guidance system. Listen to the answers, reflect, and take action. Taking the time to meditate, write and dream new dreams will pay off in a big way. It's an important step in creating the abundant life you deserve.
5) TURN AWAY FROM WORRY
Do you labor under the illusion that if you worry enough about money, you'll ward off debt? Nothing could be further from the truth. Worry, anxiety and fear create more worry, anxiety and fear. They don't create more money. Here are two techniques that work: If you find you simply can't ditch the worry habit, try limiting your worry to a five-minute period during a specific time of the day. You might also choose a phrase that you find comforting such as, "Peace, be still." Or "I am now open and receptive to new avenues of income." Or "It will all turn out okay." Say it often when worry thoughts arise.
6) PRAY AND ASK FOR GUIDANCE
Listen for guidance. Prayer is talking to God. Meditating and listening within are the ways you receive answers. Ask God for ways that you can begin to let go of fear and begin to prosper. Prayer is simply a conversation with a wise and loving presence. Say words like, "I need help. I'm scared about not being able to pay my bills. Ease my fears and worries. Reveal your plans for my abundance." Ask God, "Is there anything I could do right now that would allow prosperity to flow into my life?" The answer may not immediately pop into your mind. You may find that the response to your prayer comes when you wake up in the morning or while you're in the shower. Whenever the answer comes, be willing to take a risk and act on its wisdom.
7) VISUALIZE AND PROSPER
Close your eyes for a moment and bring to mind an image of what it would look and feel like to have the prosperity you desire. Spend a few moments visualizing this perfect outcome. What emotions would you be feeling if you got what you wanted? As you visualize this image, feel those emotions. Add some words to your imagery. Use whatever works for you. "This is great." "I feel terrific!" Imagine your friends and family celebrating with you. Do whatever you can to make this image real and vivid. Open your eyes when you feel ready. Now go out into the world and experience the abundance all around you!

6. PROSPERITY PRAYER
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
I've written a "Prosperity Prayer" as part of a new book. I've been mentioning it in the newsletter for several months and it continues to be the most downloaded article I've written. 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 matted copy of it at http://www.LynnRobinson.com/prod_products.html
I LOVE TO HEAR YOUR SUCCESS STORIES. PLEASE SEND ME A NOTE!

7. THE JOY DIET - 10 Daily Practices for a Happier Life by Martha Beck
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
Martha Beck, author of the best selling "Finding Your Own North Star" and columnist for O magazine, delivers another useful and sure-to-be-popular self-help guide. "The Joy Diet," designed for the soul rather than the body, is composed of 10 steps that, once learned, are to be practiced on a daily basis to achieve greater fulfillment and a happier life. The ten menu items are:
* Nothing: Do nothing for fifteen minutes a day. Stop mindlessly chasing goals and figure out which goals are worth going after.
* Truth: Create a moment of truth to help you unmask what you're hiding -- from others and from yourself.
* Desire: Identify, articulate, and explore at least one of your heart's desires -- and learn how to let yourself want what you want.
* Creativity: Learn six new ways to develop at least one new idea to help you obtain your heart's desire.
* Risk: Take one baby step toward reaching your goal. The only rule is it has to scare the pants off you.
* Treats: Give yourself a treat for every risk you take and two treats just because you're you. No exceptions. No excuses.
* Play: Take a moment to remember your real life's work and differentiate it from the games you play to achieve it. Then play wholeheartedly.
* Laughter: Laugh at least thirty times a day. Props encouraged.
* Connection: Use your Joy Diet skills to interact with someone who matters to you.
* Feasting: Enjoy at least three square feasts a day, with or without food.
