"The moment of truth, the sudden emergence of a new insight, is an act of intuition. Such intuitions give the appearance of miraculous flushes, or short-circuits of reasoning. In fact they may be likened to an immersed chain, of which only the beginning and the end are visible above the surface of consciousness. The diver vanishes at one end of the chain and comes up at the other end, guided by invisible links."
Arthur Koestler
British novelist, journalist and critic
1905 - 1938 |
"Susan's intuitive insights have given me considerable food for thought in many areas of my life. She has helped me to see possibilities where I previously perceived limitation and lack of choice. This has made it possible for me to approach challenging situations and relationships with a much healthier perspective. I would recommend Susan's intuitive readings to anyone looking for insight, clarity or guidance in any area(s) of their lives."

Greetings!
I'm very excited about the energies of expansion and empowerment in 2009. Although many people have concerns about these times, I also know many who are continuing to create and expand their lives and businesses with joy and success. See my feature article to raise your happiness quotient, or information on my upcoming Spoonbending classes below to raise your fun quotient.
I was on a recent spiritual sojourn to Egypt led by Hank Wessleman and Jill Kuykendall that was more amazing than I ever imagined. Seeing pictures of the great pyramids of Giza does not begin to portray the incredible energy of being there. Keep an eye on my web site for my Egyptian Orb pictures (and decide for yourself if what you see are non-physical beings), as well as a class I'm developing so that you too can experience the initiations of Egypt's sacred sites.
Here's to living our authentic lives,
Susan |

What Is Your Happiness Quotient? |
|
|
Do you sometimes feel that with all the negativity in the world - what comes at us via the media as well as other people - that it's hard to remain positive? Now I'm not going to dismiss that we're living in challenging times, however we choose how we think and feel about ourselves, our lives, our work, and our world.
Next time you're feeling down, try this quick and easy technique to identify how much of it is coming from external sources - and what to do about it:
- Sit comfortably, close your eyes, and take a deep breath (after you do this a few times you can do it within seconds anywhere - standing up, eyes open, etc.).
- Imagine that you have your own personal TV screen in front of you that will give you answers to anything you ask.
- On your screen visualize a gauge on that goes from zero to 100. (It can look like a thermometer, speedometer, or a digital readout - whatever works for you.).
- Ask your gauge, from zero to 100, how much of the energy that is causing you to feel down, drained, tired, etc. is not yours, and you will immediately get a answer. Don't think about it, analyze it, or be concerned about whose energy it is.
- Next, have the intention to release it - out of your physical body and out of your energy field that surrounds your body. (Imagining a grounding cord between the base of your spine and the center of the earth is a simple tool for releasing unwanted energy.)
- Finally - and most importantly - choose what energy - or combination of energies - you would like to fill back up with (i.e. abundance, excitement, fun, joy, enthusiasm, clarity, etc.). As you imagine those energies permeating every cell of your body and your energy field, notice how much lighter you feel!
Great Book to Help You Raise Your Happiness Level
One of the best books I've read recently is Happy for No Reason, 7 Steps to Being Happy from the Inside Out by Marci Shimoff with Carol Kline. The book discusses our "happiness set-point" - what others are calling our "happiness quotient" - indicating that 50% of our general level of happiness is based on our genetics, but that the other 50% is learned - meaning we can change it if we choose. This book has a myriad of "Happiness Action Steps" - practical ways to become happier from the inside out, along with stories of the Happy 100 - people who live happy lives, many of whom have lived through tragedy or come from very humble means.
Living Happier Techniques
Are You Complaining or Solution Focused?
Put a jar somewhere handy. Every time you catch yourself complaining, put a quarter in the jar. As you listen to the quarter enter the jar, focus on the solution, or any positive thought. You may be surprised at how often you're paying the jar in the beginning. Do something that makes you feel good with the money that accumulates in the jar - such as donate it to your favorite charity.
Who Are You Hangin' Around?
Recently I've heard the same concept from three different sources (including the book mentioned above): Your general level of happiness is based on the 5 people you spend the most time around. Think about it. Stop and make a list of the 5 people you're around the most. Are they usually positive and upbeat, ready to discuss interesting things and do fun stuff? Or are they usually complaining and negative? Another measurement is: Do you feel better, lighter, happier, more uplifted after spending time with that person (by phone or in person)? Or do you feel worse, heavier, depressed, discouraged? Really makes you think about who you choose spend your time with, doesn't it!
Whooz Hangin' Around You?
When you get together with people, is the first thing you mention is the lousy weather, the bad economy, or the war? How about choosing to start all your interactions out on a positive note? Ask your conversation companion what's the best thing that's happened to them recently, then share the best thing that's happened to you. Be the first to compliment people or share an uplifting comment or story.
Choose To Be Happy
The bottom line is that we can choose to be happy and in gratitude about being alive during these dynamic and exciting times. We are alive in a time of great awakening to the power we have to create our own realities and live freely from the full expression of who we are.
Complaining or Creating? YOU CHOOSE!

Enoch on Being Powerful Creator Beings |
The following is a channeled message from my guide group who call themselves Enoch - a group of non-physical beings who use me as their conduit to anchor the energies of expansion and service. I record Enoch's message verbatim. I know it is not my job to censor what comes through. The words, grammar and phrasing are Enoch's, not mine.
"These are times of great contrast that you have created for yourselves to become more conscious of the choices you have and the impact you have on your world. Observe what is around you with more discerning eyes. Choose carefully not only what you choose to do, but also how you create your thoughts. Are you allowing outside influences to determine how you feel and what you think, or are you ready to become more conscious of what is inside of you? Look inside for your answers - not always outside of you.
You have many questions at this time. You've learned to ask and this is good. However you ask and you ask, but how often do you be still and wait for the answers? Where do you look for your answers? The answers are inside of you and all around you at the same time, waiting for you to recognize them. The busier you become, the more distractions you create, the harder it is to see that the answers are before you. When you have a question, close your eyes, take a deep breath and listen. It is often your expectation that answers and solutions must be hard or difficult to come by. And they can be if you are looking outside of yourself for the answers, and for others to provide the solutions. This may work, but they are their answers and solutions - not yours.
Now is a time to look more closely at what you desire to create, then focus your thoughts and actions there. You are powerful creator beings. Refresh and renew your creative juices allowing your inspiration to guide you. Breathe deep and know that you can create anything you desire with the focus of your incredible powers.
Fulfill your roles as the incredible creator beings you are - and hang on and enjoy the ride."
