Hi
I have just posted the May Abundance Newsletter for you. It has lots of tips for creating abundance in your life, as well as some special offers.
May Newsletter
April was our first full month of homeschooling and it has been a real learning curve for all of us. One of the biggest lessons for me has been to:
"Take things one step at a time"
and this has applied to all areas of my life.
I have set out a plan each day for homeschooling and for business.
The Homeschooling plan has been relativley easy to follow, although I found I was trying to get the kids to do far too much in a subject in a day.
On the business list I now have one important thing do do each day.
When that is complete, I celebrate!
I was trying to get far too much done, the "to-do" list was so scary I was getting nothing done.
FOCUS
The abiltity to focus on one thing at a time is crucual. I have spent most of the most reorganising the pages for my current products, so they are all on one page and easy to find.
That has cleared the way, so I can focus on my Tarot, Angel Cards and Intuition products.
SPECIAL OFFER
I am so delighted with my re-organisation, that I am offering 25% off all my products including in-depth angel card readings until Friday May 11th 2007.
Please take a look and snap up a bargain.
Plans are well under away for our move to South West England in the Summer. Yippee!!
Catch up soon
With love and abundant blessings

Develop Your Intuition in Business
How to develop Your Intuition in Business
This is a short extract from my forthcoming book- "How to develop Your Intuition and Creativity in Business Using The Tarot"
What is Intuition or gut feeling?
It is knowledge obtained from an ability to understand or know something immediately without needing to think about it, learn it or discover it by using reason:- Cambridge dictionary.
In my understanding it is a way of just "knowing" something without any rational explanation for it. Often there are no external signs to back up this "knowing". I believe it is something we all have and it is as real as the other senses of sight, sound, touch, smell and hearing.
For a long while it was considered that women used their intuition more than men, although I am now meeting more and more men who use this guidance system to help them.
Why it is crucial to develop and listen to your intuition/gut feeling in business
As a Tarot consultant, I am often asked whether everyone has this ability to see and hear information, which is not immediately obvious to the five senses.
The answer is most definitely YES, although it is more developed in some people than others.
It is often referred to intuition or gut instinct- or the “Bull-shit detector” and seems to be more widely used by women.
- How to tell immediately if someone is lying to you
- How to get an insight into the character and personality of someone you are dealing with and know instantly whether you can trust them or not
- Know in advance what objections someone might come up with to your sales and businesses proposal and be prepared for them
- Tune into the true feelings and emotions of a client or an employee and really get a feeling of what is going on for them when they might not be able to express it in words
- Build instant rapport with almost anyone
- Know when your words or actions have overstepped someone’s boundaries, so you can take immediate corrective action

Intuition to me is a strong feeling that something is right or wrong and for me it is usually located in my lower stomach area- so hence the term "gut feeling".The question often comes up is whether it is something inside us or outside us or a mixture of the two?

How to develop your Intuition
Know when your intuition is trying to connect with you.
Think of a time when you absolutely knew something was right or wrong- and you listened to that knowing.
How did you know? Was it a feeling in your body? Where was it? Was there a voice? How was the knowing voice different from all the other chatter in your head?
Can you remember the sounds, feelings, pictures?Where in your body did you feel the knowing? For a lot of people that feeling is in their stomach (or solar plexus) area.What kind of feeling was it? Warm? Cold?Maybe it was a voice you heard? Where was the voice? What was the tone?
The more of this you can recall, the easier it is to know when your intuition is trying to get through to you.
For me, when I know something is right, I get prickles running right up my legs and up my back. It may be a completely different sensation when you know something is wrong
When you can identify that knowing, you can practise listening to it
Relax and be still.
The quieter you can get your mind, the easier is it to connect with your intuition. It is hard for it to get through to you when you are stressed.
Take a few deep breaths, breathe our tension and breathe in a feeling of connection.
For some people this works best as a guided visualisation. For others a simple breathing exercise is brilliant.
I have found that, fro me, breathing in deeply to the count of 7, holding for 7, breathing out to 7 and holding for 7 is a terrific way to calm mind, body and spirit in minutes. I learnt that fantastic technique from Dr. Joe Vitale.
The more you can quiet the chatter, the easier it is to be aware of your intuition and to hear the creative insights when they come to you.
Practise.
Just as the phone rings, take a deep breath and try to tune in to who is calling. It really freaks someone when you answer the phone with their name, especially if you were about to call them- and their number has not shown up on your phone
Have fun
Listen to your feelings or to the little quiet, knowing voice that is there to guide you. Before you make an important decision, pause, take a deep breath, ask yourself what is the best course of action for you at this moment and quietly wait for an answer.
Once you can learn to trust your intuition or gut feeling, it won’t let you down. It will help you in any situation.
Hope you find this of use
With love and Abundant blessings
