1. WELCOME
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
I'm back from a wonderful vacation feeling revitalized and renewed. I learned (again) the amazing restorative power of taking even a few days away. There's nothing like being out of my normal environment to stimulate fresh ideas and new ways of thinking. Sometimes I find myself working more and more hours and not feeling productive. I have to remind myself that change happens most easily when I can get out of my own way, relax and ALLOW things to happen.
I just received the galleys for my new book, "Real Prosperity: Using the Power of Intuition to Create Financial and Spiritual Abundance." I'm very excited about this book. It's the compilation of years of study and research about how successful people have learned to create abundance in their lives. You'll be able to buy a copy next month when it will be available in bookstores. We're working on some free gifts for newsletter subscribers who purchase the book in September. Stay tuned for more details!
Intuitively yours,
Lynn Robinson

"In our daily lives, we must see that it is not happiness that makes us grateful, but the gratefulness that makes us happy." -- Albert Clarke
"You have to become very still and listen while your inner voice - the very essence of you -- tells you who you are. You'll know you've found it when every cell in your body practically vibrates; when you're filled up by what you're doing instead of being drained by it." -- Oprah Winfrey
"Only the heart knows what's working in our lives. The heart is our authentic compass. If we consult her, the heart can tell us if we're headed in the right direction." -- Sarah Ban Breathnach
"For fast-acting relief, try slowing down." -- Lily Tomlin
"Intuition is the spontaneous appearance of knowledge -- a new idea, the solution to a problem, a clear sense of where to go or what to do next. (It occurs) in the absence of sufficient background or information to think one's way to that conclusion." -- Rev. Mary Murray Shelton

4. THE POWER OF GRATITUDE
Slowing Down to Appreciate Life
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
We human beings are odd creatures. Have you ever noticed that when you finally reach a goal, you briefly congratulate yourself, sigh with satisfaction and then immediately set about wanting something new and different? There's nothing inherently wrong with that. We seem to be hard-wired to achieve goals, want more, and look to the future. The problem comes when you don't appreciate what you have, where you are and what you've achieved. If you find that you're in a constant state of dissatisfaction with your life, you're not sending messages to the Universe that will attract a life of blessings.
You're probably familiar with the notion that happiness lies within. It's not guaranteed by a new job, more money, getting married (or divorced!), having children or being able to retire. Any happiness, bliss, or peace that you experience is brought about by your attitude, thoughts and beliefs. No new event or circumstance will secure your satisfaction; how you think and feel about the new circumstance will.
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. In order to receive this Divine input, it requires that you have a channel that's open to accepting its messages.
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 what I call "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.
Create a sacred space. Do you have a favorite spot where you feel relaxed and at peace? It may be in your own home -- in your favorite chair, sitting on the porch, or even in your bathtub. Perhaps it's outside your home. There is a wide, slow moving river that spills over a dam a short drive from my house. I go there often with a picnic lunch and sit and watch the ducks and geese float gently in the stream.
If you don't have your own special place, make it your goal this week to find one. Bring this book or your journal. What I want you to do is very simple. Just be present. Observe what's around you. Take in your environment. Breathe. Relax. Just be with yourself and your surroundings. Slow down. If you find your mind wandering. Notice it and simply bring it back to the present moment. Make time for sacred idleness. Feel your bliss.
Intuitive ideas and thoughts often come flooding in when we take the time to slow down. This month ask yourself some questions:
What are you grateful for?
What can you do to create quiet, spiritual time in 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 the first step in creating a life you love.
