For the past day or so, I have been singing "Let It Be," which, for those of you much younger than I, is an old Beatles tune. I have been singing this in my head and out loud, the latter mostly when I am in my car or in the shower. And when I am singing it, I am singing it quietly.....in a soft voice.......as if to myself. I am singing it in a voice that feels soothing to me, rather than one that feels like it is making a statement.
This quiet singing voice feels different to me. People who know me would not, I imagine, describe me at the quiet sort. Nor dc I think of myself this way. So, when I repeatedly and unconsciously start to sing this particular song (which I do not believe I have heard on the radio or on my stereo system at home of late), I am conscious of the difference and the significance of the particular words of the song. It is the difference in my soft voice that hooks me and make me curious. "What are you saying to me?," I ask this whispering voice.
I go deeper. I pay attention to the gentle voice and feel my feelings in that moment. I am aware of the tenderness of the soft voice. I am touched by this voice, as if it were coming from someone other than myself. I am soothed by this voice. And I am challenged to shift my inner being to heed the words of the song. When the troubling stuff of life has come up and I start, in my way, to attempted to fix these things, the song appears. It is as if it is telling me I do not have to do it all. Let it be, gently and softly, just let it be.
I am grateful for this reminder from my higher self and the wisdom that John, Paul, George and Ringo have given me at this time.

Magnetic Personalities
Today, I spent some time thinking about how often I will see (or work with over the telephone) several different clients in a relatively short period of time (over a few weeks or so) who are working through the same issue(s). Before I meet with each of them, I "see" and receive much information about their issues during the meditation that I do on their behalf. And when I discuss with them the information I have received, they fill in the blanks. Each of these clients presents with a different fact pattern. They have different stories. Different spouses or loved ones. Different personal histories that bring them to very different places in terms of their work, family situations, and physical and emotional health.
This pattern of concentrated issues has happened countless times in my 8 plus years of practicing as an intuitive. When it first happened, I used to be concerned about my abilities to read people accurately. I wondered if I could really be receiving information about food issues, for instance, for more than 50% of my clients in one week. However, because I ultimately trusted in the intuitive process and the information I received, I always shared what I received with the client (which showed up very differently for each client......and with very different strategies for each of them for dealing with their situation). I was never told that I was off or that the issue, as I saw it particularly for each client, did not apply to them at that time in their lives. In fact, I came to see certain issues would show up this way because there was a higher power that was assisting to bring these issues to a resolution for these individuals, of course, but for the larger community as well.
I believe that this phenomenon is a result of the Divine Universe at work. I believe that when a particular issue is held by many who are trying to resolve it, they unconsciously are magnetically drawn to one place (in this case, me) because they unconsciously know that the collective wisdom and energy around clearing the problematic pattern is very powerful and useful (and perhaps necessary).
We are all very connected to one another in ways that we have been, for the most part, completely unaware. Quantum physicists are beginning to discover and write extensively about this. And some of us are becoming increasingly aware about the power of our magnetism or energetic connections. The concept of magnetism is the underlying notion of countless books (i.e., Think and Grow Rich and The Secret, just to name a few). The notion is certainly nothing new, but its popularity is definitely gaining understanding and appreciation.
So, with an understanding of the power of our personal magnetics, it gives us all cause for pause to reflect on what we are thinking about, what we choose to surround ourselves with, who we choose to associate with, and how we choose to act in the world.
I know that this is something I want to be conscious of. I invite you to join me in this personal journey. Please share your magnetic stories with me.

Today, My Intuition Has a Name: Nancy.
I have been working on a personal issue for quite some time. It has been percolating and shifting and working its way to a point where something big must happen to clear it (which is what I intend to have happen for my happiness and well-being).
I have been asking my guides and the Universal Life Force/God/Spirit for information to come to me to assist in making this necessary shift happen more quickly and in a way that is best for all concerned. I have felt close to the necessary answer, as if I have been receiving the "You are warm" signals from the Universe. However, I have also been aware that I have not been directly on-point, or "Hot." Once you reach that place, you know it and everything starts to shift in the way it is supposed to.
While receiving these silent nods from Spirit, I have trusted that I do not need to force the answer and that it would come to me. I also have trusted that I did not have to do all the work to obtain the answer. In other words, I believed that the Universe would conspire with me to assist in this desired shift.
Patience pays off. I have been listening to the whisperings in the wind.......to messages in books that I am reading, to words spoken in television shows or movies that I have watched, to the content of my personal meditations, to things that I might over-hear standing in line at the bank......essentially to my life.
Today, I met with a friend and colleague, Nancy, to talk about business things; not my personal matters. However, deep in our conversation, she blurted out exactly what I needed to hear to assist me to stand in my power. She also provided a visual of how she sees herself in her support of me, which was very humorous and will help me to be reminded if I start to slip back to my old ways.
The key is that I had been open to receive this information in any form. I did not expect it to come from a particular person or in a particular way. It could have some in the form of sky-writing or on a Chinese fortune cookie or in an image that was able to be interpreted by me or thousands of other ways, many of which I cannot even imagine. I had no expectations about how or when it was to show up. And, as always, when you least expect it.....and if you have your antenna tuned, you will receive your message.
Thank you, Nancy.

You know more than you know!
Many years ago, I became aware of the fact that what I had the capacity to tap into a "greater knowing" for myself. At the time, I had no idea I would some day be able to utilize this greater knowing be for the benefit of others.
It all happened quite innocently, very quietly and without much sharing with others about what was unfolding for me. I now believe that my intuition, my greater knowing, developed mostly because I became very curious about it. I wanted to know more about it. What could I "know" that I did not have access to using my intellect? When would I be accurate with that information? When would I get in my own way? What would prevent me from getting the clearest and best information? What differentiated my intuition from my emotions, desires and judgments? I wanted to know all of this and more.
So, I essentially used my life.....and still do.....as a laboratory. I test my knowing and my intuition all the time. And, through that process, over time I begin to learn what I can trust and what I am contaminating.
I am a student of my own life. I am also the teacher and the observer (the one monitoring my life without credit). I am the one who fails. I am the one who has to take some life tests over and over. Although I am a practicing intuitive, I am human and I, too, have my stumbling spots.....many of them. I am the one who sometimes gets it right because I have listened to that greater knowing and held fast to what I needed to do, even in the face of the unpopularity of those decisions with people I love dearly and would love complete approval from.
There is so much more to know that what we, at any moment, think we know. And, I believe, from my life and work for many years as an intuitive assisting others in receiving their highest wisdom, that it is all accessible for the asking. We just have to know how to ask and how to get out of the way to hear the soft voice of our greater knowing.
