The topic of life transitions in last month's Intuition Newsletter struck a chord with many of you! I've never received such a strong response about a topic. "You were writing about me!" several of you confessed.
It is a little scary to go through a time when nothing appears to be happening. However, my friend Holly has coined a new term for these phases in life. She calls it a "fertile void." She describes it as a time that is rich with possibility and potential. Doesn't that just feel so much better?!
I also received a lot of mail asking when I'm doing a workshop in various areas of the country. I'll be presenting seminars in Austin, TX, New York and Boston over the next several months. See # 5 below or to my Web site for the schedule. http://www.LynnRobinson.com/schedule.html
It's always fun to meet newsletter subscribers in my classes. Please join me!
Intuitively yours,
Lynn Robinson

2. WISDOM QUOTES
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
"I say also that prayer is telephoning to God and intuition is God telephoning to you." -- Florence Scovel Shinn
"When your life is filled with the desire to see the holiness in everyday life, something magical happens: ordinary life becomes extraordinary, and the very process of life begins to nourish your soul!" -- Rabbi Harold Kushner
"Divine guidance moves me in the direction of my highest good." -- Alan Cohen
"Everything we do is infused with the energy with which we do it. If we're frantic, life will be frantic. If we're peaceful, life will be peaceful. And so our goal in any situation becomes inner peace. Our internal state determines our experience of our lives; our experiences do not determine our internal state." -- Marianne Williamson
"I let go of hurry, anxiety, pressure, and worry. I choose peace, joy, relaxation, and renewal. I am guided in how to best use my time. I accomplish everything I am here to do and I have time to enjoy life right here and right now." -- Rev. Donald Welsh

4. SLOWING DOWN TO ENJOY LIFE
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
What comes to your mind when you think of "taking care of yourself?" Pause a moment and really think about it... Is it a long vacation by the beach? Endless massages? A full month at a restorative spa? Perhaps you imagine you can do that when you retire. Most of us think of taking time out of our lives in order to really nurture ourselves. But what would your life look and feel like if you had balance, peace and calm as an everyday experience? What if you didn't need to get away from your daily life in order to take care of your soul?
We have so few occasions built into our contemporary lives where slowing down and reflecting occurs. Yet this is where restorative, spiritual change and inner guidance frequently takes place. This sort of time used to be very common. It just naturally happened in the spaces between the events of our lives. We would stroll or ride a bike to work or school. Our lunch hours included both nourishment for our body and a leisurely walk for our souls; a bit of quiet in the middle of the day. There were tranquil moments waiting for the pot to boil, the rain to stop, the casserole to bake in the oven and it no longer happens as frequently or as easily as we all long for. "It" is the natural rhythm of life.
Have you found yourself getting so caught up in the frustrations of your job, driving your kids to their various after-school programs, making meals, struggling with life, that you forget to ask yourself, "What's my true purpose here?" Perhaps you're afraid to ask yourself that question. Dr. Richard D. Dobbins stated it this way, "Until the pain of remaining the same hurts more than the pain of change, most people prefer to remain the same."
When will you begin tuning into your own soul and listening to its wisdom? Do you get so caught up in the busy-ness of your life that you neglect to give yourself permission for emotional, physical and spiritual renewal? It's during those times that you remember what is meaningful. John Wanamaker wrote, "People who cannot find time for recreation are obliged sooner or later to find time for illness." It's much more pleasant to take the time to nurture yourself when you're physically and emotional healthy.
Begin to create a pace that feels good to you, that feels like life is flowing for you, not hectic and out of control. If you are peaceful and choose to live your life with balance, your life will be peaceful. When you constantly feel tired, cranky and out of sorts your inner guidance is working over-time to catch your attention. It's saying, "Warning! Your life is seriously out of balance!" God is providing the course correction for you by cautioning that the path you're on is leading to energy depletion.
You can't do it all. Let that be okay. You're only human, along with the rest of us! Your task is to recognize when your life is out of balance and as quickly as possible to do what you can to nurture yourself and restore flow and ease. How long do you want to wait to start living "the good life?" Your Wise Inner Being will constantly point to the path that will lead you there.
When you take care of yourself and take time to do what you love, you are in balance. There is time and space for you to once again feel and appreciate the fullness and richness of your life. Allow yourself time for prayer and meditation. It is the one thing you can do that allows you to experience the All-That-Is that is God. It is the way to gain access to all the possible resources of healing guidance for your mind, body and spirit.

7. RESOURCES YOU CAN USE
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
Celia Straus, author of "Prayers on My Pillow" has a wonderful Web site devoted to helping mothers and daughters maintain a strong connection.
http://www.GirlPrayers.com
My friend, Mimi Doe, author of "Spiritual Parenting" and "Busy But Balanced" has a terrific newsletter on the topic of helping parents and children develop and honor their spirituality. Here's a quote from a recent newsletter. "Help your children to trust their intuition. Help them understand that their internal voice is a way for God to give them direction. Direction may come through someone else's words or actions; it may visit your children through nature, in a sparkling sunbeam, or in the beauty of music or art. A violin's weeping or an ocean's thundering may be God's sounds, for there is no limit to the manifestations of this Divine presence." Mimi Doe http://www.SpiritualParenting.com
I just love Jennifer Louden's books, "The Comfort Queen's Guide to Life" and "Comfort Secrets for Busy Women" to name but two. She also has a gorgeous Web site. My favorite part is the "diagnosis" section. Choose an emotion, issue or symptom such as "lonely," "overwhelmed" or "aghast at your parenting" and she'll deliver some heartfelt wisdom to get you out of your bad feeling place. http://www.comfortqueen.com/diagnosis.html

8. 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."
You can also order a beautifully framed copy of it at http://www.LynnRobinson.com/prod_products.html
