1. WELCOME
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
I just returned from a several week vacation in Florida. Ah bliss.... It was wonderful getting away not only from the cold of a New England winter but away from my phone and computer, as well.
This seems to be a time of transition for so many people. I'm hearing from newsletter subscribers, clients, friends and colleagues saying they find themselves betwixt and between. Someone once likened these life transitions to a series of trapeze swings. You're either hanging onto the current one or hurtling through space trying to reach the next one! The in-between times seem to be fraught with anxiety and confusion for most of us. This month's article is on the topic of understanding and embracing these changes. I hope it helps to put things in perspective if you're in one of those life moments.
I have an ever-expanding list of workshops and seminars I'll be conducting around the country. You can view the locations at http://www.LynnRobinson.com/schedule.html and check back often!
I'll be presenting a special joint event with psychic medium, John Holland, author of the book, "Born Knowing" on June 24 in the Boston area.. Sign up soon. The tickets are selling out fast and I want to make sure my newsletter subscribers get first dibs! To order them through Ticket Master click here: http://tinyurl.com/yugtm

"That which propels us to say yes to our callings can save the world: The green shooting force of soul, a love of life and the good fight, an almost unreasonable sort of faith, a crying need." -- Gregg Levoy
"What do you want more or less of in your life, so that you can love the life you're living?" -- Sarah Ban Breathnach
"A man's a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do." -- Bob Dylan
"I am more and more convinced that our happiness or our unhappiness depends far more on the way we meet the events of life than on the nature of those events themselves." -- Wilhelm von Humboldt
"When one door closes, another opens: but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us." -- Alexander Graham Bell

4. EMBRACING LIFE TRANSITIONS
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
Most of us would just love it if the Universe spoke to us in a clear, direct manner. "Hey Lynn! I know you're struggling with a decision in your life. Here's the answer..." Followed, of course, with detailed instructions about what I should and shouldn't do in order to be successful. In the bible, God spoke to Moses from a burning bush. (I don't know about you, but if a burning bush started yelling at me I'd definitely run in the other direction!) But truthfully, don't you long for this kind of guidance when faced with indecision?
Our modern culture fosters a great deal of impatience. People want clear answers and they want them yesterday. In other times and civilizations there was respect for the process of change and respect for a person's difficult choices. People understood that there was a correct time for actions and decisions. If you look to nature you can easily see the rhythm of life, the ebbs and flows of the ocean, the seasons of the year when leaves die off and let go and when they're born anew in the spring.
There is also a rhythm and flow to your life. Usually you experience an inner change or shift before the outer change begins to manifest. That is part of your inner guidance doing its work. You feel bored, restless, or anxious. Things are not working as well as they once were. These are signs from your inner guidance that you must make some new decisions and new choices in your life.
The inquietude you're experiencing is telling you, in effect, "Your present work is done. It's time for a change!" You can resist this impulse; you can say, "I don't want to change right now," or "It's inconvenient at this time." The feeling may temporarily recede, but that undercurrent of discontent will continue to nudge you until you take a conscious look at it and say, "Okay. Now is the time."
Once you've recognized that you're ready for something new, you want it to happen immediately. You want the new job, new home, or new relationship to appear overnight. Sometimes it works that way. More often than not you have a little "work" to do on the process. You have to decide what you want, believe there is guidance available to you to create it, and begin to take small steps on the path to your new dream. No doubt about it, it takes more than a little amount of courage to move in this new direction. I believe that God gives you hopes and dreams in a size too large so that you have something to grow into!
You may feel uncomfortable while going through this transition. Understand that this happens to all people when they move out of the comfort zones of the familiar and known. You know the old adage, "The devil you know is better than the one you don't know." That thought has kept more people stuck in a rut with their lives on hold than any other! Motivational speaker Anthony Robbins addresses this issue when he says, "Concentrate on where you want to go, not on what you fear."
Your intuition is a built-in guidance system that directs you toward what makes you happy. It brings out the best in you and helps you learn what you've come here to master. Sometimes we get stuck in procrastination and can't seem to budge. That's because we first have to discover what makes us happy.
How can you trust this guidance you're receiving? One of the primary laments I hear in my intuition classes is, "I feel like I'm making this up!" My explanation is that the voice of your inner guide or intuition comes to you in much the same way as your imagination - in thoughts, images, fleeting impressions, and the like. The solution I have to offer is to take some preliminary steps towards the answers you receive. If over a period of time your life situation improves, relationships are happier, you feel more joyful, and doors to opportunities begin to open, you'll know you're on the right path!
Change is inevitable in our lives. You can recognize that it's time for a change and heed the call by moving gracefully into the next phase of your life. You can also dig in your heels and yell at God -- "I'm staying just where I am thank you very much!" If you have indeed outgrown a way of life or a certain pattern of belief, you can be sure your intuition will continue to give you messages that a shift is needed. There are critical times in your life when the easiest path is to understand that change is necessary. At that point you need to listen to your inner guidance in order to experience peace again.
Every major decision means you enter into a new cycle of transformation - this may require new beliefs, a different spiritual path, a new career, the beginning or ending of a relationship. It may mean letting go of familiar people and places and moving on to another stage of life.
Don't let doubt guide your life and your decisions. Accept uncertainty, anxiety, and even fear, as your companions on the path of change. You've made it this far in life. You're learning new skills, relying on your inner guidance, and making decisions that allow you to choose what makes you feel alive with excitement, not deadened with fear and frustration. Shakespeare put it this way, "Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt." Do you want to make your dreams come true? Or your doubts? Have courage and be kind to yourself as you choose the path God is directing you to ... through your intuition.

My colleague, Robert Scheinfeld, mentioned me in his new book, "The 11th Element: The Key to Unlocking Your Master Blueprint for Wealth and Success." Since then I've received many calls from people speaking enthusiastically about his "Ultimate Lifestyle Academy." I wrote to him and asked him about it and here's what he had to say: "In today's crazy, fast-paced world, is it still possible to really "have it all" - a successful business, wealth, happiness, health, family, loving relationships -- and the time and ability to fully enjoy them? The answer is a resounding "Yes!" In fact, it has never been easier to do it -- if you know how. If you're interested in building your business or starting a business and using it as the springboard to create and live your own "Ultimate Lifestyle" (as you define it), here's a site you should visit: http://www.ultimatelifestyleacademy.com

7. PROSPERITY PRAYER
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
I've written a "Prosperity Prayer" as part of my next book, "Real Prosperity" which will be in the bookstores in September 2004. 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 several months 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."
