~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~* 1. Welcome ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~* Dear Friends – Wow! Last month's newsletter on the topic of surviving life transitions sure hit a chord with many of you! I've never received so many emails and calls. It's always nice to hear that something I've written has helped someone along the way. If you'd like to see the March newsletter (or any other past issues) you can go to the Intuition Newsletter Archives http://lists.webvalence.com/sites/Intuition/ Because of the interest you've shown, I'm contemplating writing a book on this topic. I've become aware that I have an interesting perspective on change and transition. I've spent twenty-plus years as a fulltime intuitive, and thousands of people have called me when they were experiencing significant changes in their marriages, their careers, or some other parts of their lives. Stay tuned... in the next few weeks I'll be sending you information about a survey that will be the basis for the next book. I'm interested in hearing about what you learned during a difficult time in your life. What helped? What hindered? It will be your opportunity to help others survive -- and maybe even thrive -- as they pass through a major life change. This newsletter has LOTS of information. Please forward it to your friends and colleagues, or better yet, have them sign up for their own issue each month at: http://www.lynnrobinson.com/newsletter.html In gratitude, Lynn * If you check out my Gut Trusters blog you’ll see a few pictures from my trip. ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~* 2. Wisdom Quotes ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~* Put your self-care above anything else -- saying no unless it's an absolute yes, choosing to spend your time and energy on things that bring you joy, and making decisions based on what you want instead of what others want. When you start practicing extreme self-care, a Divine force rallies behind you to support your decisions. -- Cheryl Richardson Believe it can be done. When you believe something can be done, really believe, your mind will find a way to do it. Believing a solution paves the way to solution. --David J Schwartz There is no way it is. There's only the way you say it is. The Universe hasn't made up its mind about you. It only knows what you show it today. You are the Inventor. Your life is the Invention. You get to make it up. So make it up good. --Gail Blanke When you're in solitary confinement and you're six feet under without light, sound, or running water, there is no place to go but inside. And when you go inside, you discover that everything that exists in the Universe is also within you. -- Rubin "Hurricane" Carter If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put foundations under them. -- Henry David Thoreau Have confidence in yourself as well as in your dream. Dreamers who become doers operate emotionally and rationally with a) confidence in their intelligence, b) confidence in their hidden instincts, and c) confidence in their silent and secret intuition. Intelligence, instinct, and intuition all can be instruments of divine guidance, and we can have confidence if we believe that our wonderful, positive ideas are created in the mind of God. -- Robert Schuller ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~* 3.

"Dear God: Send Money" -- Sign up for my course! ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~* Many of you have written to me asking for techniques and ideas about attracting more prosperity (MONEY!) into your life. I've decided to write a thirty-week e-course on the topic. I've always been fascinated by the fact that some people seem to create abundance and success in their lives and others seem to experience only failure and poverty. Is it fate? Are there a lucky few who are destined to have money, fame and fortune? I've written this course because I believe each of us has been given all the resources we need to accomplish the mission we came here to fulfill. We learn to create abundance in our lives and in our world through the power of our thoughts and the connection of our Spirit. Many of us have not only forgotten our life purpose, we have also forgotten how to use the tools that forge the path to prosperity, success, love and health. In the "Dear God: Send Money" thirty-week course you'll find tools, exercises, inspirational quotes and techniques to help you create financial as well as spiritual abundance.

Change Your Beliefs and Change Your Life ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~* What we see in the outer is but a reflection of the inner, because we surround ourselves with a picture of our own beliefs. In other words, we manifest in general what we seriously think and believe. So if we want to find out what our habitual thinking is like, we have but to look around us and ask ourselves what we really see. -- Emmet Fox When I began my business over twenty years ago I gave my clients fairly traditional "psychic readings." I talked to them about what I saw in their future. A traditional reading implies the philosophy that the future is etched in stone and you cannot change it. Your fate is sealed by some unknown force -- God, karma or kismet. Over a several year period I began to doubt that assumption. I began to read people's beliefs. I came to understand that what my clients held in their minds or what they believed, created what occurred in their lives. The beliefs they held created their future. This presented a huge dilemma for me. I could no longer simply tell clients, "Here's what I see for you." I began to talk to them about how they create their life and the events that happen to them. Discovering and correcting limiting beliefs is absolutely essential if you want to create a life you love. Here are some examples of limiting beliefs: Life is difficult and suffering is unavoidable. I'll never get ahead. I was born unlucky. All good things must come to an end. If something good happens, something bad must follow. You have to work hard every day in order to succeed. This is my lot in life. You can't change things. Money doesn't come easily. When you get old, you inevitably get sick, weak and feeble. There's not enough to go around. People have individual beliefs that impair their ability to create a life they love. I call these beliefs the tyranny of "not enoughs:" I'm not smart enough. I'm not educated enough. I'm not thin enough. I'm not old (or young) enough. I'm not rich enough. I'm not (fill in the blank) enough. Just writing down all those limitations makes me depressed! The main point is that if any one of those limiting beliefs is true for you, you'll have trouble creating a life you love. That's why simple affirmations don't always work. If you repeat the affirmation, "I am healthy" and yet you firmly believe that as you grow older you'll inevitably become chronically ill and weak, you have a strong opposing core belief and your affirmations will probably be ineffective. You may receive wise guidance every moment of the day, but if you have strongly held negative beliefs, this guidance -- the very intuition that is meant to direct you -- won't be able to get through. Suppose you want to start a business doing something you love. You feel excited about it and begin to have some success, and yet you hold a strong core belief that "You just can't trust people. Everyone is out to rip you off." What's your guess about what you'll end up creating: An employee who steals from you? A bookkeeper who embezzles your company's funds? Or perhaps a client who reneges on his agreement to pay for your product? Intuition Exercise: Belief Makeover Process So how do you begin to turn around a negative core belief? First, it's necessary to become aware of this belief. It's not unconscious or invisible as some people would have you think. Here are some questions to ask yourself: Is there some chronic situation that continually repeats in my life? Examples: A. Perhaps you're always finding yourself in a relationship with someone who cheats on you. B. You continually have run-ins with authority figures. C. You're always overlooked for a promotion at work. Ask yourself, "What belief do I hold that might impact this chronic situation?" In the above examples a person who experiences "A" might hold the belief, "You just can't trust men (or women.) The person who experiences "B" might hold a strong belief about their own lack of ability or education. Thus they need to "prove they are right" in experiencing conflict with authority figures. The person who experiences "C" might have the belief, "I'll never get ahead. This is my lot in life." Ask yourself, "Is this belief a fact or a perception?" Here's the tricky part -- if you hold a strong belief about an issue, you are going to create it in your life. Your belief will appear to be true. The world around you will reinforce your belief. Part of the task in releasing a belief that no longer works for you is to begin to see it as a perception you have about your life. It's possible to change a perception. If you're willing to do this you will create a profound change in your life. Are you willing to change your belief? If so, what are you willing to change it to? Do you know what outcome you want to create? Changing a strong core belief isn't as easy as simply stating affirmations. Begin with small steps. Your task right now is to entertain the possibility that what you want to create is possible. Often when people try to do affirmations they take too big of a leap. For example, if you're overwhelmed with credit card debt and you're trying to believe and affirm, "I have an abundance of money," you probably won't succeed. Be willing to say, "I believe it's possible to have..." enough money a good relationship with my kids a healthy body a loving partner happy relationships with my peers work that I love What do you want? Ask your intuition for help. Imagine your intuition as your own personal cheerleading squad. Since you were born it has been with you giving you encouraging messages like, "You are worthy. Be willing to take a risk to do what you love. I am here for you. Here's an idea about how to proceed. Let me help you." It has communicated with you through images, dreams, words, ideas that pop into your head, physical sensations and inner promptings. Can you grasp how hard it is for your intuition to help you when you're full of untruths such as, "I'm not worthy. Nothing good ever happens to me?" Be willing to change those thoughts, open up to the possibility that your life could be different, and I guarantee that your intuitive guidance system will respond with wild cheers and your life will begin to change for the better. When you shift your beliefs to allow for the possibility that you could have a life you love, you open up a channel of loving encouragement. Don't close it off. It's there to help you achieve success beyond your wildest dreams. ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~* 7. "Gut Trusters" Blog! ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~* I have a blog! Mine is called "Gut Trusters." It's filled with intuition techniques, articles, quotes and links to what others say about the topic. (Kind of like this newsletter!) In recent blog entries, I've written about intuition and prosperity as well as a number of ways to boost your intuition. Please stop by and share your comments. I'd love to hear from you.

It's by neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor, who had an opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke. As it happened -- as she felt her brain functions slip away one by one, speech, movement, understanding -- she studied and remembered every moment. Most importantly, this is a powerful story about how our brains define us and connect us to the Universe and to one another. You've probably heard of Joel Osteen's latest book Become a Better You. It's been on the NY Times Bestseller list for months. He's a non-denominational Christian minister. Did you know he has a weekly podcast? I love them! You can sign up for them at his website. My favorite quote from last week's podcast was "Sometimes God closes doors because you're thinking too small." If you've been a reader of my newsletter for a while, you know I love my yearly visit to Camp Experience in Denver. My friend, Betsy Wiersma, (who just won Colorado's meeting planner of the year award!) has a new website. Click on the link for the video. You'll see how much fun you missed if you weren't there! Hope to see you this September. One of the biggest challenges facing anyone who's contemplating a career change is "Will I like my NEW career?" Want a chance to find out before make the big leap? Check out Vocation Vacations. They'll arrange to have you work for a few days with a mentor who already does what you want to do! They have vocation holidays for everything from a Bed and Breakfast owner to a soap maker! What a wonderful idea!
