A funny thing happened to me at a cocktail party hosted by Ali Brown last week.  I was sharing my gifts of communicating with those who have passed over and I happened to look right at Bill Glazer when I said this.  "Well Bill Glazer blurted out why are you looking at me when you talk about the dead?"

My comment to Bill Glazer was funny you should ask.  I replied, "You see today while you were on stage at Ali Brown's Internet Blue print workshop I was watching you and your grandfather was on stage with you."  Bill Glazer looked at me and apparently he turned white.  Good thing I have a sense of humor and I threw  in some good wit and gave him some messages from his father's father.  Now if you do not know who Bill Glazer is, he is extremely intelligent in the Marketing Industry.  He and Dan Kennedy have teamed up and have created a business empire helping people market their business, increase sales and make a lot of money.  Dan Kennedy and Bill Glazer have many wonderful products and are brilliant copy writers as well.

The following day I ran into Bill Glazer before Ali Brown's Internet Marketing program was going to begin.  At first I think he wanted to run from me, but we did have a great conversation.  Of course Bill Glazer has never heard of what I do and it fascinated him to some extent.  OK the fact is…. He might have thought I was crazy but I intrigued him enough that while he was back on stage during Ali Browns workshop he brought me up the whole time he was speaking to the group and referred to my one line with him, "Your grandfather is on stage" and turned that into a funny comedic routine himself.  By the time he finished speaking everyone in the room knew who I was. 

I wonder if he is going to share with Dan Kennedy this experience.  I am thinking he will keep it to himself.  Maybe he will mention it to his wife though she would be interested in what I do.

As an Intuition Expert, one of the most amazing features I’ve discovered in the Manifestation Method is transforming your life is more simple than you think.  In one of my earlier articles, I relayed a story about how things aren’t always as they seem (for your higher good); now, I’m going to tell you how to manifest opportunity for yourself by presenting yet another great parable:

A modern-day Indian Chief wanted to prove to his people that he could foretell the weather.  However, he was not wise to the ancient ways, so he had to rely on his gut feeling and ingenuity.  One of the first things he did was advise his villagers to gather lots of wood for the winter. As a practical individual, he also contacted the National Weather Service (NWS) to inquire as to how the weather was going to be during the winter.  The Meteorologist replied that the weather would indeed be very cold during the coming months.

Indian Chief continued calling the NWS and relaying the same message over and over to his tribe to make them believe that not only could he foretell the weather, but that wood was necessary to prepare for it.  As time went by, the Indian Chief called the National Weather Service one last time to reconfirm his weather concerns.  When the Indian Chief asked the weathercaster how come he was so certain about the impending cold climate, the Meteorologist replied, “Because the Indians are collecting firewood like crazy.” While this may be a very funny story, isn’t it amazing how quickly one event led to a chain of events all on behalf of one man’s intention?

The Manifestation Method is much like this.  When we begin to think, we act; and when we act, a chain of positive events occurs without our ever knowing it.  Planting the seed of thought and moving forward with intention,  pools all our resources in creating the change we want to see and become.  The Indian in the story wanted to be an influential leader to his tribe, and because he used rational reasoning, along with a little inspiration and intuition, he was able to manifest transformation with thoughts first - then action. 

The Manifestation Method is more than just portraying a wealthy appearance, you must believe that you are wealthy inside and outside.  Creating change in life is not difficult if we only find the motivation from within; and in every one of us, is an intuition expert struggling to get out and redefine our lives.  What is your intention in life?  Is manifesting your dreams your heart’s desire?  Do you yearn for a successful career? Relationship? A new home?  The Manifestation Method is a personal and professional growth tool that unlocks your innate abilities to succeed.  Like the Indian Chief who merely wanted to demonstrate his leadership, you can plant the thought and manifest your destiny by putting your intuition to work for you.

Through the Manifestation Method, your intuition becomes heightened; your sense of awareness more keen; your abilities more capable; and your actions more intentional - more refined.  In the Manifestation Method, you create a wealthy appearance, heightened perception, increased sense of self-worth, and real desire for change and transformation.

What makes the Manifestation Method so practical?  Like any quality teaching tool, the Manifestation Method teaches you to facilitate your intuitive powers the way they were intended to be used. Once you’ve been introduced to your innate capabilities, you begin to represent your intentions by portraying a wealthy appearance and a healthy mindset toward achieving your hearts desires.

Creating Action through Intention with the Manifestation Method By Joan Marie Whelan

About the Author: Joan Marie Whelan, an internationally intuitive specialist, business consultant, medium, and coach that travels throughout the United States sharing her gifts and the Manifestation Method with solo-preneurs, professionals, small business owners, and large companies. Her much anticipated first book, “Self- Discovery: The Nine Principles to Reveal Your Sacred Gifts” will be published later this year.

Ancient Wisdom is as diverse as time itself.  Delving into the yesteryears of infancy, to the outer limits of the Akashic Records, Ancient Wisdom is accessible through anthropologic studies, meditation, spiritual intuition and the higher consciousness.  Part of Ancient Wisdom, too, is when we have connected to the oneness of the self and our Divine Being; it is then, that we become a direct link to the great ancient civilizations and their innate wisdoms. 

As distant as it may seem, Ancient Wisdom is a remarkable tool that all individuals have the ability to reveal, explore and facilitate in every day life.  From times of old, Ancient Wisdom can be found across the pages of some of the greatest historical literature; including the books of the Bible.

Buddha, who held many secrets to Ancient Wisdom once said, "He who understands the Teaching will not tarry in applying it to life."  Ancient Wisdom, which has been handed down from our ancestors is inherently etched within our ever-living souls. When we apply the lessons that are learned from time, quantum physics, and the physical interaction between the realms of the physical world and the ethereal world, we discover our true purpose in our lives; the intuitive guidance to move forward; and the understanding to perceive all things through an impassioned perception of truth.

In 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.

In a recent article in USA Today, reporter Karen S. Peterson writes about social psychologists and researchers, who claim that their research is geared toward "fortifying intuition, sharpening thinking and deepening wisdom." Stuart Vyse, a psychologist, however, stated that "...it has been shown over and over again that gut reactions are not accurate. It is a mistake to base a decision on a gut feeling." I beg to differ. Intuition, "gut feeling" and "hunches" are often the saving grace to many a soul.

In an article by the Crime Library, "What They Did Last Summer," novelist Lois Duncan (author of "I Know What You Did Last Summer") incurred a tragic, life-altering event when her daughter, 17-year old Kaitlyn was murdered. Using intuition and psychic detective work, the case was subsequently solved. The difficulty that intuition presents, as Myers points out, is that there are many false prophets who claim to know all and see all; and like any bad apple in the bunch, spoils the whole lot.

Many times, it has been intuition and "gut feeling" that has saved people from many a tragedy. What makes a complete stranger jump before a racing subway train to save another human being? Recent heroism, like that of Navy veteran Wesley Autrey of NY proved that making a split-second decision to save a convulsing man on the tracks was critical. Some might call that stupidity - others might call it luck; I call that intuition. Mr. Autrey, in response to why he had jumped onto the tracks was, "I did what I felt was right." Had his intuition not taken over at that precise second, the man on the tracks would not be alive today.

What makes a person do incredible human feats? Is it simply "adrenaline;" or is adrenaline part of the "gut feeling" or "intuition" that gives us the insight to make strategic plans, and sometimes, lead us down the "right path" in our lives? Another case of intuition...or as some may call it luck...involves a family who decided to take the bus instead of taking the train on a cross-country trip in Germany. The train derailed. Coincidence? Then there's chains of "coincidences," like the many who decided not to work on the morning of 9/11. Was that mere coincidence or intuition?

Another case of "intuition," involves a young woman who chose to call into work one early Saturday morning. She worked in a sportswear distribution warehouse. On the morning that she was scheduled to work, all the 20+ foot aisles of ton-weight clothing racks toppled like dominoes in the area she would have been working. Gut feeling? Coincidence? What makes a passerby jump into a lake to save a drowning stranger? Is that simply being a "hero?" No, the commonality of all of these cases is that no one wakes up one morning and says, "Oh, I think I'll be a hero today," or "I think I'll save someone's (or my own) life today."

Intuition is likening to that of "EQ" (Emotional Intelligence). Without it, many people would not even survive. These are instinctive emotions and "gut feelings" that are inherent in the human being. The difference between intuition and false thinking is that your ego mind gets in the way and you want something and want an experience that might not be best for you. False thinking is not hearing the truth of your reality and not wanting to live in truth in that moment. Can a hunch prove to not come true absolutely? The key is to look deeper into the feeling of what was really going on and get the lesson behind it. In general, individuals who have clouded their minds with greed and other habitual tendencies may not be able to think clearly; therefore intuition becomes just as clouded.

I believe that intuition, as our emotional intelligence, is the driving factor in what makes people succeed in life...draws people to each other in positive relationships...transforms our perception and makes us the best humane and compassionate people we can be; both personally and professionally. The major issue that surrounds intuition and developing intuition is not so much that we don't instinctively have intuition; it's the fact that we don't listen to it, or abide by it -- and that's when we end up getting ourselves in a pickle.

Intuition, like any other learning module, must be fine-tuned to deliver the best results; whether you use it effectively, well, that's entirely up to you. Until we speak again...I am Joan Marie, your Intuition Expert

Well, it is that time again…The time Ghosts, goblins and scary spirits are hanging around.  It's a time when it is cool to scare people and to be scared.  It's Halloween and it is the time of year where it is acceptable for me to have my gifts and be a Medium and an Intuitive.  This is the time when everyone assumes that the Spirits come out to play.  People have visions and stories of ghosts lurking around homes eating their food, moving important papers and waiting to trip you up!!!!

Well, I am not sure if you all realize it or not but the Spirits are around us all year round.  And guess what - they do not have to be scary.  I can honestly say I am a scardy-cat.  I get nervous if I see spirits hanging around.  I will always ask what they want so they can leave quickly.

My friend Meredith used to live in Boston when she was going to college.  The house she shared with friends was haunted.  She used to hear spirits laughing on the phone when she was with her mother.  This summer she went back to Boston to visit friends and she stopped by the haunted house and took all of these pictures of spirits hanging around.  At first when she showed me the pictures I could not see any of the spirits.  Now I thought this was odd since I see and talk to them on a regular basis for my clients but here in the pictures I could not see them.  Meredith was definitely getting frustrated when she would say, "Don't you see the man in the window with the dog?"  Finally, I could see the Spirits; ten minutes later…it was freaky and scary.  How weird to just see these dead people hanging in a window frame - in the door way, up a tree.  I could see the details of their faces, the cloths they had on, and what their lives were like.

Now mind you this is what I do for a living but it still freaks me out.  I must admit I was home the last two Friday nights and I turned on the Ghost Whisperer on CBS.  To me this show at times is a bit scary.  I actually did not watch this past Friday night because it was too much for me.  There are people out there who love scary movies and love getting scared, not me.  When my cousin Eileen and I saw the Sixth Sense many years ago I was frightened.   

For me - what I do is fun, healing and exhilarating.  I love taking clients and giving them confirmation that their loved ones are still with them.  Some people are still so shocked when you start giving details of their kitchen or what they did yesterday to confirm that their father or grandmother is still around.  This, to me, brings joy and a sense of purpose.  I love what I do; I do not think it is weird or scary.  I think who I am is normal.

Great tips to talking to those passed over:

• Ask your loved ones to visit you in a dream and give you some messages. 
• Give them an assignment to help you with some challenges in your life. 
• Ask them to let you feel their presence when they are around.
