Intuition Tip #1
Open Your Intuition When It's Blocked
When your world or the business culture restricts mental activity to logic, analysis, control, cleverness, linear projection, offensive and defense strategizing, and abstract conceptual thinking, problems can't be solved in an inspired way and projects often leave a trail of emotional and spiritual carnage in their wake. Balancing logic with intuitive, innovative thinking paves the way for greater flow and genius.

You contract mentally, emotionally, and physically when you enter a state of panic, worry, obsessiveness, irritation, criticism, jealousy, vengeance/retaliation, aloofness, stoicism, overwhelm, or exhaustion. When you're contracted and frozen, new information from the superconscious mind can't enter. You're in survival mode, and will only notice what you think you need to survive. This can make your thinking brittle and dull. Open your intuition again by intentionally shifting your awareness into the opposite states:

• panic, worry, obsessiveness > relaxed confidence, sense of ease, cheer

• irritation, criticism, jealousy > tolerance, appreciation, permission

• vengeance, retaliation > nurturing, intention to learn and teach

• aloofness, stoicism > participation, vulnerability, spontaneity

• overwhelm, exhaustion > rest, noodling around mindlessly

EXERCISE
1. No matter which survival mode you've fallen into, ask your inner self to remind you as soon as possible to notice that you've contracted. Notice the tense "inner posture" you're holding. Take a deep breath and exhale as though you're saying Whew! Breathe again, and shudder or shake your head, arms, shoulders, legs; stretch, walk, move. Change the posture, widen your chest, and open your heart area. Bring more shiny energy into your eyes as if you're expressing joy to someone.

2. If you're being critical, for example, recall a time when you were experiencing appreciation. Imagine it in detail and let your body adapt to feel the same feelings again. Note the new posture and feeling in your body, and then have another look at what was bothering you. How can you apply appreciation to your current situation?

WHAT'S REAL?
We’ve been experiencing an energy surge that has intensified our lives, emotions, and the speed with which things are occurring. This is a refreshing change from the dammed-up energy of 6 months ago! Now, we can sense our breakthroughs, and how we are personally going to shift into "destiny mode" vs. the "on automatic," semi-reactionary mode we've been in.

This means that if you stay centered in your soul's vibration (however you recognize that) and just keep BEING for a little while, you will become saturated and some perfect ideas will pop up into your mind, or some perfect opportunities will occur in your "field." You can't use will power now. You must allow your own natural cheerfulness and enthusiasm to "program" your field -- your personal field acts as a set of instructions to the bigger field. The field will do the work for you. You will do smallish, busybody stuff -- make phone calls, organize, create some graphics, talk to people. . .but the field will orchestrate the new movement. Your job now is to manage your energy state and be expectant and alert to what's showing up and why.
