A New Cycle – Your Vision for 2010!

~ Kay Robinson ~ Leave a comment
New Year
A New Year!

It is a new year, a new cycle and a new decade but it is not a time for making resolutions.  More importantly it is time to decide how you want to be.   A new year is an opportunity to create change, set your energy in a new way, create a new perspective, and set your sights high!

Get Out of Your Comfort Zone and Routine!

For this to happen we have to get out of old patterns, routines and our comfort zone.  All of these keep things, as they have been whether we like them or not.

To create something new for 2010 change your energy.  Goals are met, changes made, experiences enjoyed from the vibration of enthusiasm!  It is nearly impossible to create from boredom, apathy, discouragement, etc.  These energy levels are too low for energy to move or change.

Intuitive Exercise (Meditation)

Take the time to imagine, see in your mind’s eye your vision for 2010.  Don’t think.  Quiet the mind.  Just imagine.   If you can see it intuitively then it IS manifesting.   If you cannot see or imagine what you want for 2010 then keep clearing your mind.  Stop thinking!  Quiet your space and go within.  Open to your own voice, listen then see, visualize or imagine what you wish to create.

Awareness

Notice your thoughts, emotions, concepts that get in the way of your vision.  Notice anything that gives you a reason not to have your vision.  Imagine clearing or letting these go. They are ideas and energies that you can release.

Repeat this meditation often, daily, weekly and watch your vision of 2010 manifest.

Help!

Best wishes for the New Year,

You Are Not Your Business or Your Work!

~ Kay Robinson ~ Leave a comment

We are busy creating our success in our business or profession.  We put so much energy into this that in the end more of our energy is focused on our work than on ourselves.   It appears this is changing.  More men and women are creating space in their lives to experience and validate all aspects of who they are.  Owning a company or having a career is no longer the most important or only important part of our existence.

Professional Expert and An Athlete

I have one client who has worked very hard to create her professional identity.  She is successful, recognized and the recipient of many awards.    On the other hand she has lost herself in her efforts to be at the top of her field.  Another client quit his career as a professional athlete because he wondered who he was aside from his on field performance.  He wondered if anyone would like him without all the fame and fortune so he quit to find out.

Each of these professionals is in a different place.  One is defining who she is through her work and has lost her sense of herself.  The other has stepped out of his professional to find himself.  Is there some place in between?   Can we be successful business owners and professionals without loosing awareness of ourselves?  The answer is obvious, of course, but it is not easy.   We have been taught to work for validation through what we do rather than who we are.

We are expected to perform, to succeed, etc.  It is what we do that matters.  It does not have to be that way.  It is more natural to create our work from a clear awareness of who we are.  Our work can manifest from this awareness.

How Do You Define Yourself?

Consider what you would tell someone if asked about yourself.  What would you say?    Do you find yourself saying more about what you do than who you are?  This is a simple exercise to show where you are in your awareness of who you are?

Meditation

Meditation is a simple way to separate from our work for a time and focus on who we are at our core, what we value and what is important to us.  Focusing in this way keeps us clear about where we have been, where we are now and where we are going.

Pain Body or Success? Your Choice!

~ Kay Robinson ~ Leave a comment

I work with business owners and professionals as a business intuitive. My goal includes drawing them out of pain so they can create success. I don’t actually say that in sessions but it is exactly what happens.

Out of Pain

It is easy to know when you are in your “pain body”. You notice problems, feel disappointment, are frustrated and only see obstacles. When I work with someone I communicate to their creative space (spiritual body) to bring them out of their “pain body”. Those who can change their space to creativity are able to manifest their vision of success.

Into Creativity

Most of my clients enthusiastically move out of pain to the vibration of ALL THINGS POSSIBLE. Some want to solve, heal or fix their pain not realizing that pain is natural part of being human. How much time we sit in pain versus creativity is a simple matter of free will.  The pain-creativity dichotomy is one in which we can decide which side we want to be. For example, two of my clients are simply more comfortable in pain than they are in creativity. This is their choice though it may not be a conscious one. We are all different. Everyone is getting his or her goal, which may not be success.

Freedom to Create

We all slip into our pain body now and again when an experience or memory re-stimulates it. Actually reading this blog may stimulate your pain body!  Oops!  There are many answers here. It is not a problem to move into our pain body. The key is our ability to slip into our pain body then to be able to move back out at will.

If your choice is to create then you can change your space and your energy to ALL THINGS POSSIBLE, a higher vibration than pain. Success manifests from creativity. Hard work, no work, unsatisfying work, etc. manifest from pain.

Below is an intuitive exercise you can use to move from your pain body to creativity (spiritual body).

Intuitive Exercise

Take the time to meditate. Quiet your body. Quiet your mind.

Notice where you are. Are you in your “pain body” or success? Wherever you are determines what you will experience in your business, profession and life in general. If you find you are in your pain body don’t think or analyze this. Simply ask yourself intuitively, “Why am I in my pain body?” Open to your intuition to hear the answer.

Now move out of pain and into enthusiasm, amusement and creativity. When you feel the energy of possibilities you are in creativity. If you feel unclear, uncertain, frustrated, you are still in pain so keep moving your energy to amusement, enthusiasm, etc. Repeat often.  Anytime you find that your creations have stopped take the time to meditate and move from pain to success!

Best wishes on your success,

Kay

Havingness Now!

~ Kay Robinson ~ 4 Comments

As business owners and professionals we all know what we want.  Some even have a vision of their success. Finally a few show Havingness for their vision.

What is

Havingness is an intuitive concept that describes an energy level.   Let me give you an example.   I want to create a successful business.  Notice the term “I want”.  Wanting does not create anything.  In fact, it is a flat out statement that you do NOT HAVE.  Thus you are “wanting”.     There are others who have a clear vision of their success.   They know and see intuitively creating success.  This is an important step but it is not enough.  To actually manifest your vision you need HAVINGNESS, the energy level of enthusiasm and certainty about your ability to manifest your vision!

Havingness and Non-Havingness

“I want to create a successful business.”   It won’t happen.   “I see my business success.  I see exactly how it will be created.”  This is a really essential step toward success!   “But I don’t believe it can happen.” This is non-havingness and it just replaced your vision of success.   Let’s replace that last statement with, “I don’t have all the answers but I am certain of my vision of a successful business.”  That is HAVINGNESS.

An Energy Level

Havingness is an energy level you create when you know what you want, have a strong vision of it and are enthusiastic about the possibility.   Havingness is a high energy level.  Non-havingness is a low vibration.    High energy levels are creative.  Low energy levels are not.

Your Energy Level?

We have the ability to set our energy level and our business to the vibration of havingness.  Simply go into meditation and open to your awareness.  Notice where you are now.   Are you in the vibration of havingness or non-havingness?  You will recognize it.  Havingness is the vibration of all things possible!

Take the time to clear your thinking, to release concepts or emotions that are in the way of your success.

Contact me if you would like an intuitive consultation or healing on your Havingness!

 

Best wishes for your success!

Success Now!

~ Kay Robinson ~ Leave a comment

dreamstimefree_successMost see success as something that will happen in the future.  “I will be successful.” Or we believe that when this or that happens then “I will be successful!”  We create in our mind ideas that limit our success. We get in our own way.  Whatever we believe or imagine is exactly what happens thus success is always in the future or our success depends on one thing or another happening first.

Our Thoughts About Success

As a business intuitive I see that success is an energy vibration in your space.  Either you are vibrating at success or you are not.   I can see when a business owner or professional has created the idea  (thought or picture) of success happening later.  None of these ideas are, in fact, true.  They are simply our ideas of how success works.   If we change our ideas, thoughts or pictures we change our reality.  We can be at the energy level of success at anytime so why not now!

Your Vision of Success

We create success whenever we decide to do so.  We can decide to create success NOW!  It begins by having a clear vision of what we see (imagine) our success to be.  For each of us this will be different.  I suggest including all aspects of your life in this vision.   Meditate and see your vision in your mind’s eye.  Do not think about it or try to be logical.  Simply imagine success. There is time for logic but not at first.

Once you see clearly what success is to you then decide to begin and be successful starting now.  Begin by setting your work in a successful way and set the vibration of your business as a success.

Be Successful Now

The most important aspect is to do this now!  Be successful now!   See your success happening today.  Everything that you do, every step you take big or small do it successfully.  A profession or business builds rapidly from being successful now, in present time.

Intuitive Exercise

Try this intuitive exercise.   Before you begin each day take time to meditate even if for only a few minutes.

Stop and quiet yourself.  Close your eyes and decide to set your space to the vibration of success that day.  Notice what you have planned.  Rethink your plan if it is not focused on your success.  Eliminate anything that distracts you from your vision of success. Now decide to be successful today in whatever you have do.

Notice how each and every day builds a stronger vibration of success.

Visualizing not working – Align your vision

~ Kay Robinson ~ Leave a comment

dreamstimefree_5126723Vision

Most of us have a vision of what we want.  When that vision does not manifest we are confused and frustrated.   Everything we have heard says create a vision, visualize, know your intention, etc. and your vision will manifest.  That is true if you vision is true.   What does “true” mean?  It means being true to you.  As a business intuitive I look for this when a client says their vision is not manifesting as they had imagined.  They are doing all the right things so what is wrong.

False Vision

When are operating from a false vision it will not manifest.  One of my clients, Joan, changed careers from a graphic designer to a financial planner. She was unhappy professionally and wanted a change.  Joan was certain this was a fast and easy way to financial freedom.

The financial training program and a good friend in this field both convinced her that there was money to be made.  Joan sunk her money, time and effort into creating this transition and to position herself for success.    It did not work.  She was out of money and her vision was not manifesting.

Intuitively I saw that Joan’s passion was in the arts.  She is an artist.  I saw that she was creating a financial career simply because two people had told her she should.  Because she was ready for a change she followed their ideas. This vision was not aligned to her passions or her values.

Align Your Vision

This has happened to most of us one time or another.  We get distracted from our vision.  This is a good time to step back and take a second look.

Is our vision aligned to who we are?   Is it aligned with what we value?

Our vision may have changed to incorporate others ideas of what we should be OR we may have altered our vision to accommodate our fears or our ego.

Take the time periodically to re-align your vision and get back on track.

You can best do this by creating a place of quiet so that you can meditate.  In this way you can get out of your analyzer and your logical side and open to your intuitive side.  Try this intuitive exercise.

Intuitive Exercise

Find a quiet place where you can meditate.

Sit with your eyes closed.

Bring your attention and awareness to the center of your head.

Bring your aura or energy field in around you.

Try not to think but to be aware.

Begin to imagine, in your mind’s eye, your vision of success (personally, professionally, spiritually, etc.)

Intuitively notice what is controlling your vision.  Whose ideas are helping to create this vision?

Now shift your vision is align to your passions, who you are and what you value.

See you vision from your center, the center of your head.

Allow your vision to stay the same and allow it to change.

Commit to this vision.  Now enjoy your success!

Tell  your stories or offer your  thoughts about visualizing and how it works for you.

Multi-Tasking or Being Successful!

~ Kay Robinson ~ Leave a comment

multitaskingAs an intuitive I pay attention to how we use our energy and if we are achieving our goals.  Those who are most successful are those who have the greatest ability to focus.

For many being BUSY and multi-tasking gives a great sense of satisfaction.  This does not, however, translate into success.  A study just came out of Stanford University on multi-taskers. “When they’re in situations where there are multiple sources of information coming from the external world or emerging out of memory, they’re not able to filter out what’s not relevant to their current goal,” said Wagner, an associate professor of psychology. “That failure to filter means they’re slowed down by that irrelevant information.”

To be successful our energy must be focused and directed to the specific actions designed to achieve our goals.  Knowing are vision of success and creating a plan to get there are the first two steps.  Now we have to ground our energy so that we can focus on our plan and not be distracted.

Sometimes we are just distracted by whatever grabs our attention or is on our mind.  Others may grab our attention to become involved in something of their choosing.  In any case, we are quickly off focus or multi-tasking.

When you focus 100% of your energy and attention on the vision of your success it will manifest.  On the other hand if you have a vision of success then you focus your energy not only on your vision but many other things then your vision has less energy to manifest.  Multi-tasking disperses your energy such that your efforts are scattered.   You may experience your successes being scattered.

Try this intuitive exercise to ground your energy and focus before you find yourself involved in multi-tasking or doing tasks that are not essential to achieving your goals.

At the beginning of each day take the time to meditate.

Close your eyes.  Take a deep breath and ground yourself.  Bring your attention into the center of your head.

See in your mind’s eye.  Don’t think.  See your vision of success.   See the steps you can take today to manifest this vision.

Stay in meditation until you have a clear vision for the day and you feel grounded in this plan.

Notice when you start to multi-task and refocus on steps to achieve your goals.

Hey! Where Am I?

~ Kay Robinson ~ Leave a comment

0032PhotonicaFor the most part we have our attention in the future, our plans for today, this week, this year, our vision of success and more.   Having a clear vision is a very important aspect of creating.  We cannot manifest without this.

Be in the Moment

The other aspect of creating is the ability to be in the moment.  When we have a vision we tend to put our attention and awareness in the future.   This tendency to be IN the future actually keeps our goals beyond our reach because we imagine them there and have our energy there.   In this way a goal will be forever in the future.

Achieve Goals Now!

To achieve our goals means to have a clear vision then be sure that our attention, awareness and energy are completely in the moment.  Our attention and energy in the future whether that means in the next moment or the next year makes us feel scattered or out of it!  This is a clear sign that we are not in the moment.

Intuitive Consult

As a business intuitive this is one of the most common areas of focus.  Intuitively I can see the effect being in the future has on my clients’ business success.  When they are not in the moment then their success is always in the future.  Jeff was a new client.  He was doing all the right things.  He had a great business plan, a sound product and good business sense yet his company was not taking off like he had imagined.  When I looked at Jeff’s energy intuitively I saw that 80% of his energy was in the future, in his vision and out of present time.

Using meditation I taught Jeff to be in present time.  This was quite difficult for him at first because he was so used to being out in front of himself.  He said it even felt uncomfortable to bring his attention into the center of his head.  After about a week of practicing being in present time his business started to take off exactly how he imagined it would.  Is this a coincidence?

Intuitive Exercise

I recommend taking time throughout the day to simply stop.  Take a deep breath.  Close your eyes.  Imagine bringing all your attention and your awareness into the center of your head.  In this way you become centered in present time.

Notice how this feels.  Notice how far out of it you are, meaning out of the center of your head and out of the moment.  Spend the time it takes to be centered completely in present time.  Use your intuition to become aware of where you are.   Repeat this exercise several times a day until you know that you are in the moment.

Best wishes on your success!

Multi-tasking is in your way!

~ Kay Robinson ~ Leave a comment

multitaskingResearchers at Stanford University published a study showing that the most persistent multi-taskers perform badly in a variety of tasks.  As an intuitive I agree with the results of this study and see this from a different perspective.  I have observed the importance of focus in achieving success and multitasking gets in the way of that because it scatters our energy and attention.

To those of us who have always been proud multi-taskers this a big blow!

Effect of Multi-Tasking

When we focus on our goals and the essential steps to get there we find success.  When our attention is divided, as in the case of multitasking, two things happen:

* Our energy is divided so no one goal has enough energy to manifest fully

* The vision of our success is diminished because we have other things in our mind’s eye as well

Importance of Focus

As a business intuitive I have also observed the effect of multitasking on the ability to create success. When we focus on our goals, our business plan, are not distracted and our attention is on this vision then our life force energy is not divided in multiple directions.  With focus we create success.

In the end we want to see our vision of success clearly, know the steps to get there then focus on our vision and take these steps.  The more focused we are the more successful we become.

Being grounded and centered in ourselves helps us to limit the urge to multi-task.  Try this intuitive exercise every time you feel the need or find yourself multitasking rather than focusing on your goals.

Intuitive Exercise

Find a place to sit.  Close your eyes. Take a deep breath and release.  Repeat the breathing until you feel yourself begin to relax.  Bring your attention and awareness onto yourself.  Begin to imagine the most important goal you are trying to achieve right now.  See it or imagine it.

Imagine bringing your energy and awareness off anything and everything that is grabbing your attention.   Focus on your goal.

See the steps to achieve this goal.  Take a deep breath and release.  Decide the step you want to focus on right now.  Open your eyes.  Take a deep breath.  Now focus that step.

Best,

Kay

The courage to succeed!

~ Kay Robinson ~ 2 Comments

dreamstime_leapYesterday I was mentoring the owner of an interior design firm.  She was ready to take her business to the next level.  Issues she wanted to address were the addition of new staff, new office space, implementing a new marketing plan,  etc.  I saw intuitively that she was smart, had clear goals and understood the importance of having a clear vision.  I also saw that her business plan was ready to move forward.

What is Courage?

This is the same point where many with a strong vision get stuck.  To manifest a vision takes great courage.  From an intuitive perspective having courage means bringing the information in the first chakra (fear and survival instincts) into communication with the sixth and seventh chakras (clear vision and certainty).

Finding Your Courage

Engaging the first chakra means a willingness to allow change but also the willingness to take risk but not at all cost.  When you have a strong and clear vision and you are focused on this vision then the risk is worth taking.  Nonetheless it can be scary.

When we avoid engaging our courage then the goals that challenge us the most don’t move forward.  Try the exercise below to engage your courage.

Intuitive Exercise

Create a space of quiet.  Close your eyes and go within.  Take a deep breath and release.  Now imagine one of your goals in your minds eye.  See it clearly.  Don’t think.  See.

Now decide to have your goal.  See yourself having it and what it would take to have it.  Notice your competing thoughts or pictures.  Acknowledge any discomfort, fear or resistance to manifesting this goal.  Now take deep breath and release the fear knowing it is a natural reaction to change and does not mean you can’t. Notice the fear in the first chakra and decide to engage the fear to find your courage.   Continue until you find the resolve and experience the courage to manifest your goal.

Best wishes on achieving your goals,

Kay

Stay the Course!

dreamstimefree_roadI just have to tell you Susan’s story because it is so familiar and I see it so often.  Susan is an amazingly capable professional working for a large national organization.  In recent years she began to feel dissatisfied with her work not because there was anything wrong with it but more that she was ready for new challenges and to move closer to her next dream job.

No Idea!

With that in mind Susan contacted me to assist her with this transition.  She had no idea where or what that dream job was.   I guided through intuitive meditation to begin to imagine this dream job.  All the thinking and logic in the world was not working for her so an intuitive approach seemed right to her.

Her Vision

Susan did not know the exact job that she wanted but she was very clear about components of the job, the talents she wanted to use and new areas of growth and challenge.  With that awareness I guided her in meditation regularly as a way of manifesting this vision.

Creating A Plan

A week or so after she created her vision she decided a move to Denver was part of her vision.  She reached out to some contacts in that area telling them of her interested in finding a new job in the Denver area and could they help.  In a very short time, maybe a week or two, she received a call for an interview for a position that far exceeded her expectations.  Suddenly she was very uncertain.  Was this too big a step?  Was it the right step?

Don’t Question

This next part is important and a critical intuitive principle.  Don’t answer these questions!  Susan would just make herself crazy logically arguing one side or another.  I advised Susan to go back into meditation and focus on her original vision.  Seeing this vision in her minds eye is calming and brings her goals into perspective.  In this way the answers are obvious.  There are no competing options.

Manifesting

Susan is in Denver interviewing as one step has led to another without any effort on her part.  Susan described this morning, “It is as if my vision is simply unfolding in front of my very eyes.  It is scary and wonderful at the same time.”

Intuitive Exercise

The intuitive technique I worked with Susan is simple.  Go into meditation so that you can become quiet, stop thinking and open to your inner voice and intuition.  Visualize a goal you would like to manifest.  Don’t think.  See the goal in your minds eye.   Take a deep breath.  Now let that goal manifest.  Clear seeing is the key.

Best wishes on your success.

When you cannot decide!

~ Kay Robinson ~ Leave a comment

swirl blue purple orange croppedOne of the best times to use your intuition is when you cannot decide, the answers you are looking for are not obvious or your find yourself successfully defending both sides of your own argument!  You have been thinking, discussing it with others and still you cannot tell the right way to go or which decision to make.  This is the time to stop thinking!  Sometimes logic cannot provide our answers either because we are not neutral to the issue, our own thoughts and emotions cloud our thinking.  Sometimes we cannot decide because of the pressures from other people or competing interests.

I was on the way back from a salon at the home of a Silicon Valley executive and his wife.  My friend had run into one of her clients at the salon last month and again this day.  She was very confused how she should interact with this very high profile client in this informal and somewhat personal event.  I listened as she explained all the options she could think of.  It was clearly a professional challenge that could have huge financial impact.  She was confused, conflicted and worried.  What if she approaches him the wrong way?  What if she reads his communication incorrectly?  What if….  She was wearing herself out.

A client of mine was in a similar state of confusion.  She is transitioning in her career, sees a number of choices, can argue each of them convincingly only to confuse herself more.  She thought, argued, discussed all to no avail.  She could not decide and could not find a logical solution.  This was creating great stress.

These scenarios are very common.  The specifics may be different but each of us has been in a situation where all the logic in the world was not going to give us the answer.  For me, as a business intuitive, answers to these situations are easily found by opening to our intuition.   Using intuition is a way of gaining perspective and finding enough separation to see more clearly.

Here is a simple intuitive exercise you can use when you are confused or cannot decide.

  • Find a time and place to sit and quiet yourself.
  • Close your eyes, breathe deeply and begin to release all the effort you are experiencing.  Relax and release.
  • Bring your attention and your awareness inward, behind your eyes.  Breathe deeply and release.
  • Begin to clear your mind.  Try to stop thinking so that you can open to your intuition.
  • Simply open your awareness.  Begin to notice, see, listen and know intuitively.
  • Once you are quiet, imagine seeing a symbol out in front of you.  See it or imagine it with your minds eye .  I suggest a rose but any symbol will work.
  • Now imagine placing your question in that symbol.  This keeps your from thinking.
  • Without thinking open to what you see, hear and know.

If you are able to follow these steps you will get your answer and you will know.

Why don’t things go as planned?

~ Kay Robinson ~ Leave a comment
Meditation - part of a business plan
Meditation - part of a business plan

We all want to be successful. We think through and create a very grounded professional or business plan then work that plan everyday.  So why don’t things do as planned?  When we assume that it is all beyond our control we are dead wrong!   Opening to our intuition allows to see beyond what is obvious and visible to find these answers.  There are no coincidences.

For example, everyday our experiences create responses and reactions whether they are good or bad.   These experiences create thoughts, ideas, emotions, etc. that may or may not support our plan.  Things hang with us. We hold onto things.  Things stick with us.  These are all familiar terms that describe the effect of our daily experiences.

When we carry anything from one day to the next it becomes part of us and the fabric of our life.  This is true for energies that we enjoy as well as those that we don’t.   A bad meeting, conversation or phone call can stick with us, influence our thinking and set us off course.  Often this is all happening our awareness of the effect the energy is having on our success.

One of my clients had a very difficult conversation with one of his clients this week.  I saw that if he held the energy of this conversation in his space it would destroy the contract.  On the other hand if he cleared the concepts and energies this experience stimulated for him then he had the opportunity to re-set his communication and agreement with his client.

These kinds of experiences are part of doing business which is why, as a business intuitive, I encourage all my clients to make meditation part of their daily business plan.  In meditation you find a place of quiet to review yesterday and today.  You become aware of the energy and pictures you are holding onto and will get in the way of your goals and your plan for your business.  Once you are aware you can decide to release anything that does not serve you.  Finally, you can  reset and recreate your vision for today, the week and your success.

Try this for yourself.  If you are not sure how to meditate join me for an online meditation any Monday.

Intuition + focus + energy = success

~ Kay Robinson ~ Leave a comment

dv1990098

We have all heard about the power of visualization. This is not a new concept and can be a speedy way to achieve the goals you have for yourself and your company. As a business intuitive, I am aware that my most successful clients are those who have a strong vision of what they want to create. They are clear and certain. I have other clients that have an equally clear vision though they are not as successful. There are many factors I see intuitively that contribute to this, but there is one that is true of all of them.

My most successful clients have a clear vision. They also have a strong focus and determination to have their vision manifest. The second group has an equally strong vision though are not as focused, certain or determined. When I look at this from an intuitive perspective, I see men and women who have the ability to create a mental image picture ( vision) that is exactly what they want to create. It is similar to a drawing, photo or video that you hold in your mind’s eye.

The next step is harnessing and gathering your attention; focus and energy to bring to this vision into reality. Therein lies the difference between these two groups of professionals and business owners. One group brings their energy, focus to activate their vision. This changes it from a mental image picture to a physical reality. The picture is energized.

Sometimes it is easy to energize a vision and sometimes it takes great force. Have you ever heard the term “force of will” or “through force of will”? Both of these terms refer to a person’s ability to focus their life force energy on a vision to transform it into something physical. If I were a physicist, I might explain the effects of energy on a vision in terms one might use to describe quantum physics.

My best counsel on this would be to have a clear vision. This is not always as simple as it may sound. Meditation would help in this regard. Next bring your focus and attention directly on this vision. Do not be distracted. Take steps directed toward your vision. Finally, push yourself through any limits real or imagined. Repeat any of these steps as needed. Most importantly, don’t give up your goals!

Don’t shoot yourself in the foot. It is worth the time to set the energy and your focus before you make that sales call.

Note: Regular meditation makes this easier helping you get into a routine of clearing your space and setting your goals. Online Meditation each Monday www.insightintuitiveconsulting.com For more information.

 

Spirit, Mind and Screaming Body

~ Kay Robinson ~ 1 Comment

j0149029You know the feeling.  You decide to take a big step or take a risk in order to move forward.  You have a clear vision. Intuitively you know it is the best step.  You make the decision.   All of a sudden you break into a cold sweat and a world of doubt washes over you.   Were you wrong?  Was your decision too impulsive? Why do you feel like you just made a big mistake?

From an intuitive perspective everything is happening exactly as you might expect.  When we have a goal, it is by definition something you don’t currently have.  You know that to move from where you are to where you want to be requires getting out of your comfort zone, taking a deep breath and making that decision.  This is how a successful business and successful people operate.  They know what it will take then they just do it.  They don’t let anything talk them out of their vision.

When we decide to get out of our routine, our comfort zone and all that is familiar we are ready to get our goals. This takes vision.  Your intuition holds this vision.  You can imagine and see intuitively exactly what you want.  You create a mental image picture of this in your minds eye then think through all the logical steps to get there.   These are the first two steps and they involve the spirit (the vision) and mind (the plan).

What happens next determines your success. The body and your emotions react to this great idea.  The body does not like change or to be uncomfortable so it starts screaming.  YOU DECIDED WHAT!   SCREAMING…. the cold sweat.  In the end many business and professional decisions are made not intuitively or with any logic but rather how loudly your body screams and resists change or being uncomfortable.  Your emotional reactions to good sound decisions can completely talk you out of taking the steps you really want to take.

Your success depends on your commitment to your vision and focusing on making it happen.  If the discomfort or fear is too great then you will back away from your goals until you feel comfortable again.  Our success is always this choice.

Learning meditation is one way to get through this fight between your vision and the discomfort change creates.  In meditation you learn to quiet the body and release the energy that is in your way.  After meditation you are re-energized and feel more certain.

Finally, take steps to make yourself comfortable physically and emotionally when you are ready to push forward to achieve your success.  It will help you through what can be a challenging time of change.

Best wishes.  Kay

The trinity and business ownership

dreamstimefree_2565706 It may seem like a strange concept but trust me it works.   Successful business owners have a balance between their body, mind and spirit.  It works something like this.   One aspect of a business owner is as a visionary with a creative idea and the undeniable urge to see this vision manifested.   This brings out the the organizer side of the business owner.  The organizer side takes this vision, adds color, texture, and  has a passion to make it a reality.  The organizer grounds our business in a physical reality.  The organizer, or our analytical side, creates the structure for our vision.  Finally, there is the do-er side of us.  This is the side of the business owner that knows how to provide the product or service of our business.

These three aspects of a business owner are familiar to each of us.  When we are able to move easily between these three aspects of ourselves then our business has the chance to thrive.   When we are stuck in one or the other aspects then we are out of balance and, not surprising, so is our business.  From an intuitive perspective our business is a physical manifestation of who we are.  The more we know about ourselves the more we know about our business.  Notice for yourself.  Can you move easily between each of these three parts?  Are you more comfortable as the visionary and neglect the doer side?  Perhaps you are comfortable but have lost the passion of the visionary.  Try the intuitive exercise below to get your business back in balance and moving toward greater success.

Intuitive Exercise:  Find a quiet place to sit, close your eyes and quiet your body.  Take a deep breath.  Bring your attention and awareness within you.  Imagine (or see in your minds eye) three roses about 6 inches in front of you.  Each rose represents one of the three aspects described above.  Look intuitively at each rose.  What do you notice about these three roses?  Is one bigger than the others?  Is the vibration of each rose the same or different?  Don’t think or analyze.  This is an intuitive exercise. Notice more.  Now imagine each rose as vibrant and energized.  When you can see this balance your meditation is complete.

dreamstimefree_36802811 The recent Monday Meditation was very enlightening.   We focused on enjoying our business and enjoying our life.  What is not to like about this?  Everyone was excited by the possibilities.  In reality meditating with this in mind was not as easy as everyone imagined.

We are not an island meaning that whatever is going on around us affects us.   Actually it affects us until we decide NOT to become or match the energy.  The US is at war in Iraq and Afghanistan.  It seems far away.  Intuitively it does affect us.  We have thoughts and feeling about these wars and others including Gaza.  We have reactions to the world situation as a whole.  The media is constantly pushing us to react one way or another.  This affects us.  We become more serious and are aware of the problem.  This bleeds over to other aspect of our lives including our business.  Suddenly our business is serious and we have problems to solve.

Meditation is a way to stop matching or being the effect of one event or another.  Meditation is a way to find the quiet space within and become aware of what is affecting us.  We gain perspective. Not only do we  become aware we can change our energy, our perspective and ultimately our lives and our business.  A simple change in our energy can change everything.

In this Monday Meditation everyone changed their perspective, their vision and ultimately their energy to enjoying their business and their life.   The result of this may be a period of discomfort.  If we are routinely serious or sensitive to  solving a problem then simply deciding to enjoy has ramifications.  Ramifications that are well worth having.

Try this intuitive meditation:  Take 3o minutes to one hour to sit quietly, close your eyes, focus your attention and awareness on yourself.  Breathe often.  Become aware of what is on your mind.  Clear your thinking.  Clear your mind. Finally begin to imagine enjoying your business and your life.  Keep imagining until you can see this in your minds eye.  It is something we all want but seeing it  and imagining it happening requires using your intuition.  Keep imagining until you can see it clearly.  When you can see joy in your minds eye then you will experience in your life.

Enjoy!  Kay
