21st Century Woman – Finding Healing and Self in a Complicated World
Posted by Intuition Girl
Today’s dynamic woman manages the household, has a full-time career, and in her spare time attends soccer games and school plays. She is witty, sexy, smart, quirky, articulate, knowledgeable and the ultimate super mom wrapped in one package. She’s a no-nonsense gal with a professional and personal background to match her multi-tasking skills and she doesn’t waste a moment sweating the small stuff. But she’s also got a sensual side. She’s tender — she’s loving; and she can compete with the likes of Angelina with just the right touch of makeup and a little lift to her hairstyle.
Like most women, however, the female body and mental disposition can shift with the moon’s phases. She experiences a wide array of emotions and mood swings from day to day that can leave others in wonderment as to what is running through her mind. Some of these emotional shifts may be related to physical, chemical or metabolic imbalances (or a combination of the three). There are revealing studies that examine the chemical makeup of women (and men) and the importance of stress reduction in relation to balancing these inequities.
According to an article in Insight Journal, anxiety problems are linked to a number of factors including learned behavior (on how to deal with stress), personality traits, trauma and mental and emotional states. But were you aware that there can be energy imbalances as well? Joan Marie Whelan, renowned intuitive counselor offers the following advice on how to contend with stress to harmonize mind, body and spirit to become harmonized with yourself and the universal flow of energy, “In order to acquire balance in your life you must first and foremost become grounded in your body,” says Whelan, “One can become grounded through meditation.” Whelan states that this exercise helps reduce feelings of stress, overwhelm and even anxiety. She went onto elaborate, “to be grounded – I often tell people to visualize themselves as if they are a big golden oak tree…. Your legs (are the trunk) that go deep into the earth – As you feel into this image; you will actually experience strength and power. This can and will help bring you stability in your life… the symbolism is powerful–the upper parts (of the body) are the branches… you may swing and sway with your challenges but you do not need to fall down because you are so grounded in the earth that you feel empowered.”
In this new millennium, we discover that more individuals are turning to noninvasive CAM therapies to alleviate daily stress and common health disorders. Some of these complementary and alternative medicines like Tai Chi have effectively demonstrated their abilities to help in healing mind, body and soul. Other complementary therapies like meditation and visualization are actively being studied by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine to determine how exactly these mind-body-spirit therapies can assist in reducing stress, improving concentration and focus, and in pain relief, among other health issues. In addition to the meditation techniques mentioned earlier, Whelan told me about one of her own exercises that she frequently facilitates for health and wellness — visualizing the sunlight within her core being, “If you can focus and visualize the golden sunlight within you, you will begin to experience it and a sense of calm and peace will gradually flow within you. As you are placing yourself within the sunlight, think and feel loved. No negative energy can live in the light. Ask your Source to fill you with love. The experience is awesome,” she said.
In addition to health issues, women throughout the ages have sought their rightful places in society. From daughter, to sister, to mother, to wife and beyond, women play integral parts on the stage of life. But how does one truly find her “authentic self”? Whelan explained why discovering your authentic self is essential to leading happier, healthier lifestyles: “Your Authentic Self defines the real you, the true essence of who you are – your soul energy,” says Whelan, “When you discover your authentic self, you gain wisdom and strength and you awaken to a deeper sense of whom you are and why you were born.” Whelan added that when individuals discover this form of healing and soul awakening enables the opportunity “to get to know you at a deeper level of your being, your soul—complete with all of your inhibitions and vulnerable threads.”
We’ve all heard about women’s intuition, but what makes intuition a valuable aspect to everyday living and in problem-solving techniques? Whelan explained how innately intuitive we actually are. She said, “Our intuition is also known as our conscience; our gut feelings — our inner voice that shares valuable and basic common sense answers and guidance to our daily living. We are making choices all the time. Some are helpful and others cause us pain. If we could only slow down our human-ness and live more in our heart, we would hear the soft, quiet voice of our authentic self share words of wisdom.” She adds that stress, anxiety, frustration, resentment, confusion and anger pressure us beyond our limits. Her thoughtful advice to women (and men) is: “When we are living in the present moment and allow our actions, attitude and behavior to bring forth messages that express compassion, sharing and caring, we change our body language and our physiology and positive experiences spring forth. But the reverse is also true. I am continually asking my inner soul, my little child within together with my spirit guides to help me through the day to give me the courage and strength to see the larger picture and to stay grounded in love and light.”

Are you Living la Vida Loca?
Posted by Intuition Girl
Ricky Martin is famous for singing about it; but how many of you are living it? The “crazy life,” that is.
- Do you wake up every morning with a sense of direction and focus?
- Do you know what you want today so that you can have it tomorrow and in the future?
- Are you prepared to give up the crazy life so you can create a prosperous, happy life?
You’re not alone – and 2010 is all about just that: turning stepping stones into milestones; and transforming average lifestyles into healthy, abundant, and wealthy lifestyles! 2010 will be a year of assertive action and ambition. It will also be a year that will transform the way you think, feel, act, and move in your life…if you’re willing to move away from the illusions of your past to build a new tomorrow. 2010 is also the year for you to make the right choices in your life to create a sustainable, joy-filled way of life.
If you’re living la Vida Loca, then you’re not building your potentiality. In order to manifest your higher potentiality, you must assemble the right amount of strength and force behind your energy to drive your consciousness toward positive outcomes. 
More notably, 2010 will be a POWER YEAR! This New Year is one of the critical turning points of the 21st Century. When you are ready to change your thinking power, and when you begin to nurture your Authentic Self to regain your command in life, you will be able to fine-tune your self-image to reflect your genuine identity and strengthen your own intuition. In doing so, you are creating the process whereby you can explore your life purpose and begin reaping the rewards of your own self-driven success!
That’s where I come in…
In my upcoming 10-month Mastermind Platinum Program, I’m going to share my intuitive expertise in helping you create real momentum in your life.
