The Force of Intuition and the Power of Human Emotion
Monday, November 5th, 2007In the book, “Emotional Intelligence,” author Daniel Goleman writes, “Being able to enter flow is emotional intelligence at its best; flow represents perhaps the ultimate in harnessing the emotions in the service of performance and learning. In flow the emotions are not just contained and channeled, but positive, energized, and aligned with the task at hand. To be caught in the ennui of depression or the agitation of anxiety is to be barred from flow.”(1)
You see, flow is indicative of intuition working at its finest in combination with the brain’s instinctive power to harness positively-charged and rational thinking. The recent article (Do What You Feel, Maybe – the power and perils of relying on intuition)(2) by David G. Myers, social psychologist at Hope College elaborates on the “perils” of relying on intuition, and presents ”intuitive” statements from our current president; one in particular, where he met with Russian President Putin, ”I looked the man in the eye. I was able to get a sense of his soul.” In reflection, I understand how some might view this form of “intuition” as inflated or overconfident; but if we refer back to the analogy of Goleman, we can surmise that individuals who are experiencing heightened levels of anxiety or depression (or other mental or emotional issues) may not be able to rationally form an intuitive opinion when flow has been blocked.
Flight-or-fight response (3), the theory proposed by American physiologist Walter Cannon in 1915, probably gives a better psychological perspective into how intuition and “flow” work so well together. Basing his research on animals, Cannon understood that primal instincts in animals were initiated by the flight-or-fight response; which demonstrated that thought processes were at work in the body that manifested physical responses to the situation at hand. For example, perception plays a key part in how both animals and human beings react to specific events based on signals sensed by the brain. Some of the physiological findings showed that automatic/immediate responses like heart and lung acceleration, blood vessel constriction, pupil dilation, among other physical changes were all indicative of intuitive perception.
While practiced individuals have a more fine-tuned, and discernable ”flow” of intuition, others may not be so adept at preconception as they have permitted – or are under the influence of certain stress factors, narcissistic tendencies, or other psychological trauma that curtails intuitive abilities. Hyper-inflation of the human’s perception often leads to misconstrued signals, unwarranted attacks; or worse - complete ignorance of the facts. Allow me to revisit Goleman’s statement, “In flow the emotions are not just contained and channeled, but positive, energized, and aligned with the task at hand.” If we simply repeat this sentence, we understand that intuition is comprised of more than what some might deem “psycho-babble;” intuitive flow is the sum of all parts working in harmony - mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically.
Appropriately so, we must learn to quickly decipher what the mind’s eye perceives. To do so, one must have reached a level of intimacy with the collective unconscious. According to Carl Jung, Swiss psychiatrist, the “collective unconscious” is known to be a “reservoir of the experiences of our species.” Interestingly enough, the intuitive flow that helps individuals to become successful, wise and able to manifest transformation stems from the “collective unconscious”(4) that Jung studied and theorized during the early 1900’s.
Is it really all that far from belief? The power of human emotion, coupled with the positive flow of intuition is what defines greatness. Fine leaders like the Dalai Lama, Jesus Christ, Mother Teresa, Albert Einstein, Benjamin Franklin, and Isaac Newton all demonstrated specific commonalities - steadfastness, determination and calmness. When you are completely centered, your intuitive flow is more reliable, more fortuitous…and using your collective unconscious as your guide, your flight-or-fight responsiveness becomes more clear, and success becomes you.

Thursday, October 11th, 2007As soul travelers, we sometimes live in a state of suspended emotion…rather, lack thereof. Where has your intuitive expert led you? We often get so caught up in the rigors of everyday life that we sometimes forget to focus on our Divine intuition. If you are still, and you listen to your intuitive expert, you can begin manifesting good health and wealth prosperity. Easier said than done, eh? Not really.
An old Native American parable presents a metaphorical analogy using two wolves. In the story, a grandfather talks of the ongoing, internal struggles of the self. He explains that each of the wolves represents very opposing emotions; one representing our negative emotions - the other, our positive emotions. He explains how the battle rages inside; when one of his grandchildren asks him, “Which wolf wins?” The grandfather replies, “The one you feed.” This simple Native American philosophy explains how individuals, using their intuitive expert can achieve health and wealth prosperity by merely feeding the right emotion. What emotion have you been feeding?
The more we practice meditating on increasing good health and increasing wealth, the more effected we become by our positive emotions. As an intuitive expert, you begin to manifest your hearts desires. Breaking free from our suspended emotions takes commitment and effort. Are you dedicated enough to make the move toward achieving your goals?
Become an intuitive expert, and manifest wealth in more ways than one. You clearly start seeing and realizing your hopes and aspirations. You must first believe your natural instincts and allow your intuitive expert to guide your ambition, and your life passage toward achieving extraordinary results. Your Divine intuition is what gives you the nutritional charge to feed your positive emotions; which in turn, helps you in manifesting good health and attaining the prosperity that you seek.
Feed the positive wolf in your soul with positive affirmations, and intentional focus. Your intuitive expert is right where you are…just reach within, and listen to its voice of freedom. Break the chains of your suspended emotions and become healthy, wealthy and happy.

What Does Prosperity Mean to You?
Wednesday, October 10th, 2007Everyone wants to make more money but in my Business Intuitive Coaching sessions, I have found that individuals lack innate wisdom in manifesting greater wealth prosperity. Increasing wealth means constructing a strong foundation and then carefully and steadily building on that foundation - metaphorically, one brick at a time; till the structure that has been imagined and desired becomes a reality.
As a Business Intuitive Expert, I have noticed tremendous talk and even books written about setting intentions. By the continual focus on your intention, you will eventually manifest your heart’s desires; either manifesting wealth or manifesting good health. This is only part of the equation. As a Business Intuitive Expert, realize there are other steps that need to be implemented for this process to work.
It has been my experience as a Business Intuitive Expert that the essential step in manifesting wealth starts by defining your desires for what you want to accomplish or manifest. In a clear, precise way, write them down as you deeply feel them at this moment. It is one thing to be continually thinking about money and wealth, but it is far more powerful to feel the feelings of the experience of actually living that wealth. As a Business Intuitive Expert it is also important to share with you that you must understand that as you are working on this process, your desires might shift or change. It may be necessary for you to make correction(s) in your direction or self-proclaimed desire to match your newly-aspired dreams or ambitions. A Business Intuitive Expert realizes this process is a living organism. It is not lifeless or unresponsive. You absolutely need to visualize this process as a vital part of your thinking process. Know that its shape and form are evolving as you grow and mature.
The experience of failure and lack in life is first imagined in your mind. As a Business Intuitive Expert, I have learned that our minds are powerful instruments that must be guided and supervised. In doing so, we develop a clear and explicit plan, which helps to create or manifest desired outcomes.
Our minds are very simple tools. The mind does not distinguish between positive or negative thoughts; it simply takes the thoughts that we feed it and acts on them. That is why we may have heard statements like “garbage in, manifests garbage out;” or, “thoughts create the outcome.” As a Business Intuitive Expert, it is wise to continually monitor your thoughts. Teach your mind to focus on positive wealth building, manifesting thoughts all the time.
As a Business Intuitive Expert, people come to me and say they want to earn more income. When I ask them a very simple question like “what steps are you taking to increase your income?”, or “what is the process that you have implemented to change?” they are speechless. As a Business Intuitive Expert, it is important you have a plan to be able to change your outcome.
I’ve learned as a Business Intuitive Expert, that with a fixed income, you must plan to increase the flow or your ability to create more, to build and manifest greater wealth.
In each one of my newsletters till the end of the year, I will be sharing with you my powerful Business Intuitive Expert steps and ideas that can help you manifest wealth in your life. I hope as we are examining this process together, the method that I have called the “Manifestation Method,” you will begin to identify with: “What does prosperity look like to you?”
As a Business Intuitive Expert, let me re-state the first step: Clearly and precisely identify that which you desire and write it out to perfection. This is going to be the foundation on which you will build your dreams and that which you want to manifest will unfold right in front of your eyes.
Warm Blessings,
