WCSWANS: 3/25/09 Meeting Follow-up; Topic: Intuition

Friday, March 27th, 2009

What a wonderful event last night! … So many wonderful women to connect with. In addition to women helping one another, WCSWANS was also able to donate $100 to help Starlight Children’s Foundation of New England. Thank you to Jonelle Prille-Tate for educating us about this wonderful organization. If you are interested in learning more or are interested in volunteer opportunities please contact them. Thank you to Tara Crawford Roth for speaking to on the topic “Use your Intuition to Achieve your Goals (and also donating a cd as a doorprize)! Michelle Gonzalez of New Commons, thank you as well for sharing with us a taste of your café style discussions! A special thank to WCSWANS member, Deborah Fontana of Premier Design, for checking people in that evening. Thank also to McGovern’s for the great space, food and service.
Michelle indicated that usually after her events she tries to share a summary of some of the themes, topics, insights etc that arose. What I will do is list some of the topics I can pull from the papers and my memory. But I also invite attendees to share their experience in the comments section of this blog. Please feel free to correct me or fill in any information I may have missed! Also, use your intuition as to what else you want to share…Did you enjoy the event? What are some insights you gained? Did you meet some fascinating woman? You can also share about other resources and upcoming events that you think could be helpful to attendees etc. Even if you weren’t able to attend but want to share some insights regarding topic…we welcome your input!

Speech Topic: Use your Intuition to Achieve you Goals
A few things that Tara talked about: What intuition was; The different types of intuition (claircognizant, clairvoyant, clairsentient, clairaudient) and some techniques and exercises to help you more easily access your intuition.

Break Out Discussion Topics:
1)How do you tell the difference between the feeling of fear and intuition?
Intuition is empowering, positive and expansive; Intuition is a positive feeling and feels expansive where as fear is a negative feeling and restrictive; Intuition tells you to do something, not to not do something; Intuition is loving; Intuition is the answer that lights you up; Is fear a valuable emotion? Yes, all emotions are valuable. The mistake is getting caught up in them instead of listening to their message, letting go and deciding whether and how to take action. No, or at least it is the least valuable emotion in that it makes people feel small and limited.

2)How do you marry the idea of creating intentions to get what you want vs being lead by your intuition?
Control vs destiny; Are you being lead by your intentions or is it divine destiny?; Intuition (passive) vs intention (foundation/control); Can’t know how until you know what; Follow your heart; Intention can be in alignment with divine will; Set the intention to accomplish the vision; Get out of monkey mind; You can gain control when you let go of intention; follow what feels good;

3)How do you incorporate intuition in your daily life?

Dreams- remember and journal dreams, not being afraid to listen to intuition- dreams, signs, journal; Make a gratitude list- focus on good things and not always on the bad; Stay focused, Stay in the moment; Set intentions- listen- picture, voices, feelings; Nurture intuition; Have faith in your life; It’s harder when times are unstable – focus and grounding leads to better trust.

4) Wild Card: Whatever that table wanted to discuss
Spend time with beautiful things; Trust; throw pots; pray; scrapbook; take drawing class; stay in the moment; acknowledging what’s great; asking/listening to questions; pay attention; repetition and success; How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice.

I look forward to hearing from you and seeing you at an upcoming event!
Warmly,
Maureen Umehara
