Hello Friends,

you get what you give

"I want to get the intuitions you get! How can I?" "I want a relationship that is loving." "I want to feel happy and content." "I want a meaningful job." "I want to experience a sense of purpose in my life." "I want my body to heal."
Do you identify with these and other desires?

the surest way to get what you want in your life now
1. See yourself being and doing what you want right now.
2. Start acting as if it is true now and give what you wish to receive.

If you want to experience love, give love.
Love yourself. Do things you love. Do simple loving acts of kindness to others. Don't just wait for others to love you. Share personal thoughts and feelings with others and ask others about themselves. Give love and love will return to you.

If you want intuitive insights, practice intuitive insights.
Take time to check in with yourself or meditate. Ask each morning to be guided by your intuition. Read books or take classes on developing intuition and then practice it. Intuition isn't something you just learn about. It is something you do, something you are. Give yourself the opportunity to experience intuition. Your experiences will match the energy you put into it.

If you want to be happier with others, give happiness.
When you are with people, speak of happy thoughts and interests. Ask people what they enjoy. Talk about a trip you loved or want to take some day. Notice and be grateful for 5 things in the moment. Don't just expect others to make you happy. Bring happiness to your experience. Create happiness. More happiness will then bloom around you.

If you want...
- others to trust you, be trust worthy
- someone to share their ideas with you, share your ideas
- to be listened to, listen more to others
- a healthy body, give care and attention to your body
Give. Give. Give.

it isn't always a one-to-one correlation— think whole picture

We are in a constant exchange, a dance, of giving and receiving. The interchange will often happen immediately or reciprocally with another person. But not always. Sometimes it takes time or our energy will direct us to new experiences, resources or people that better match who we are and what we give. We can't expect that just because we are nice, others will always be nice to us; life is more complex than that. But for sure, the nicer we are, the more likely others are to be kind and the more we will attract kindness into our lives. Especially with intention.

don't give just to receive

You can't trick the universe into giving to you. Give like you mean it, with sincerity. As you give, you will receive. It's a natural law of the universe. What goes around comes around.

make magic simply

People ask me all the time how they can have the intuitive experiences I have, wanting a piece of the magic. While it can be quite magical, the truth of intuition is actually more in the simplicity. By waiting for the burning bush, predictions or proof, we miss all the subtle guidance and the true purpose of intuition. Intuition is about being the truest you and following your truest guidance. Becoming more like love, wisdom and compassion. Make things simple. Don't over intellectualize, over emotionalize, over control or over do. Give simply. Receive simply.

call to action

Take 5 minutes, right now or tonight before you go to sleep, to think of a few ways you can give more in the areas where you wish to experience life differently or more fully.

Hope you'll check out the upcoming events listed to the right to connect more deeply with your intuition and true self. And thank you for the many ways you have all taught me.
