Editor's note: Some names have been changed to protect the privacy of the individual. You have butterflies in your stomach, ringing in your ears and goose bumps down your spine. Are you sick? No, you're just waking up to inner wisdom. Inner wisdom is something we're all born with. Call it a knowing, a feeling, an intuition -- it's one and the same. If we pay attention to that wisdom, over time it will grow clearer, leading us on a journey to the ideal home, the dream job and to that … [Read more...]

We live in an Age of Change. It's like our planet is being overrun by adolescents with turbulent emotions close to the surface, and it's ready to erupt at any time. Patriarchal world systems and old ways of thinking are breaking down and we are being called to create something new. Unresolved personal issues are coming to the surface in order to be healed. Our separation mindset of "me" is being replaced by "we." Intuitive insight is a survival skill for this Age of Change where old rules and … [Read more...]

My greatest tip for receiving intuitive insights can be done every day. Let us synchronize our minds and bodies through intention, prayer and meditation to Source. I find that practicing twice a day -- upon waking and before sleeping -- is easiest. It calms me for sleep and sets up my day to view the bigger picture that is so valuable to intuitive insight. Drifting away from this practice, I noticed that exciting synchronicities had abandoned me. Insights became dull and lacked vision. I … [Read more...]

Remember a time when you let your mind override your gut feeling -- with less-than-favorable consequences? After I had a few of those experiences, I learned to trust my gut and follow my intuition. As a naïve 19-year-old, I found myself in a couple of very uncomfortable and potentially dangerous situations. My gut had been screaming at me to get out, but my good girl mind justifications convinced me to stay. By the grace of God, nothing came of it. However, I got scared enough to start … [Read more...]

How can it be that I am still coming to terms with an exceptional performance by José James and his band on January 29 at The Cedar in Minneapolis? The event was, unequivocally, one of the best performances that I have ever attended. José and his band were truly inspired. They relished their playing, their interaction, tenderly present and joyously celebrating each one of the solos in the truest of jazz traditions. Superbly generous, they included us in their creative moment, permitting us … [Read more...]

How many times a week do you need to make a decision without all the facts you'd like to have? If you're a manager -- of anything, from a household to a multi-billion-dollar corporation to your own life --you're probably faced with that kind of challenge daily. But in this rationally oriented culture, you may not realize there are ways to make quite sensible decisions without adequate logical information, yet with a minimum of stress. Doing this effectively requires learning to operate with … [Read more...]

Like a computer, you have drivers that create your personal data or life experience. You can be driven by your ego or heart, by Fear or by Love. What drives you are the voices that filter through your mind and the feelings they create within you. Whether you know it or not, these thoughts and feelings create how you experience life. Life does not "just happen." You attract life experiences through the energy of your thoughts and feelings. Since human nature is unconsciously conditioned to … [Read more...]

She entered my office, sat down and sighed, that deep sigh of relaxation. I knew she was happy to be here in this healing space. With her next breath, she looked at me and said, "What am I doing wrong? I can't seem to hear my own voice." She was not deaf and did not have any trouble speaking or using her voice. She was, of course, referring to her "inner voice," the voice of instinct and intuition. What she was asking is why she could not hear her own answers and discern her internal … [Read more...]
