A NOTE FROM THE CATALYST
Can you believe that April is nearly here? We here in Southern California are in full flower bloom for spring. As for me, April is big this year because I am moving! I've been living in the same place for nearly five years now - here's my view from my front door today. Pretty amazing, isn't it?
I'm so grateful for all that my current space has provided to me over the years. However, I've gotten messages that it's time to upgrade my space - so it is ON for April 1! (No, really - that's no joke!) J When I shared that with my client yesterday, she asked "how can I know my messages so I can use them to grow my business better?". So that's the focus of the article below...
A big highlight of my March was that I went to the "party of all parties" out here in the desert, hosted by VIP socialites to honor the latest Palm Springs Star Award (we have our own Hollywood walk out here) - essentially, I partied with Lily Tomlin! How cool is that??? Yes, I still get star-struck... and it was really neat to be in that "world". Thank you again to my friend, Michael, for inviting me.
Other priorities I've been working on include the Lynn Recommends section on my website. People ask me what I use to run my business, so I created this area as a "one stop" resource for you to get the exact tools I use in my business. I'll be adding more shortly (once I get through my move), so be sure to check back too!
And keep an eye for other new products that I'll be offering... it's exciting because there's a lot that is getting ready to roll out! All of it is based on the survey you completed earlier this year to let me know what you would find most helpful - and I can't wait to bring it to you! You'll see announcements in your email shortly...
Meanwhile, here's to the new beginnings that always happen with the arrival of the spring season!
To Your Messages and Spring Beginnings ~

PURPOSEFUL RESOURCE
Power Insights Session - $197
Are you feeling the energy of new beginnings, but don't know how to start?
Do you feel stuck but aren't sure what about, why or how to change it?
Have you been experiencing a lot of changes recently, but need to figure out how it all adds up?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, the Power Insights Session is for you. Designed to blast you out of feeling stagnant, to break up the inertia of what's been holding you in place or even blocking you, and/or to identify what's really happening and infuse your world with a dose of fresh energy, this phone session could be your ticket to up-level your life and/or business!
Everybody gets different results with this session, but here are just a couple of the comments that I received from clients recently...
"Lynn, I have to say you are so the g-word. Not to scare you with this word, but it's true. As I see it, you use your light to help illuminate the light within others and you meet them where they are to do so, even when their bulbs are dim! But all of us can shine bright, we just get covered with the dust of life and we need our catalyst (aka g-word) to help us sweep it off." ~ Michelle Newbon, Santa Monica, CA
"Thank you for helping me and so many other people to manifest their visions, their wealth and success. Your gifts to the world are priceless. Helping good-hearted people live their dreams really makes the world a better place. You gave me such a creative boost that I'll never be the same. I am much more confident because, in one fell swoop, you cleared away doubts that had been haunting me for years. You are an amazing catalyst! What a gal! I really look forward to working with you throughout the development of my business."~ Arisa Victor, San Rafael, CA

SOUL-DRIVEN BUSINESS
Your Intuition is Asking: Can You Hear Me Now?
There are three things that a soul-based business owner needs to have to be successful in business (and in life, really): knowingness, trust and traction. And the first one is a whopper... so how do you know what you know?
Let's look at what happens when you don't know what you know... sometimes it's easier to learn something by what it isn't than what it IS. So, you will likely find yourself in messy situations or relationships that could have been avoided, you have "loose ends" that seem unimportant but threaten to "take you down" when they come up, you want to kick yourself for not thinking your decisions through, or you put off making a decision to the point that THAT is what becomes the decision. Any one of these can become complicated to resolve, so you lose time, energy and resources to address them. And this is just the SHORT list!
Now that you understand the consequences of not knowing what you know, let's look at what happens when your linear mind is engaged. Your linear, or left-brain, mind is all about sorting out conflicting information, protecting you from danger based on past experience, and tossing out anything that doesn't make sense in a direct and practical way. If your linear mind cannot make the jump from A to G, for example, it invalidates G as a viable solution. And, in actuality, that is it's job - to get rid of things that don't make sense.
The problem with that is that your intuitive, or right-brain, mind doesn't work in a systematic process that makes sense to your linear mind. That results in internal conflict that is sometimes powerful enough to literally kick you out of your body to get away from the experience (which is a completely different topic).
Anyway, your intuition will come up with a solution that your linear mind invalidates, eliminates or tries to reconfigure into something it can understand. That shows up as self-sabotage, thinking that you "just made something up" or other negative self-talk, or analysis paralysis in taking action. Essentially, the linear mind will block messages from your intuition that it doesn't understand, which means that you aren't accessing the deeper part of your non-linear wisdom - your knowingness.
Some messages will come in as "Trojan horses" from your linear mind. In this case, the message will have some quality of creating a win-lose or no-win scenario, where someone has to "lose" or get hurt intentionally to create a specific outcome. These pseudo-messages can also come across as old patterns playing out as a "re-tread", relating to what you want vs. what is actually real in the present moment, or assigning qualities to a person or situation that aren't the highest truth but are projections of your linear mind.
A true message is one that is supportive, feels good, comes from abundance, takes into consideration the best and highest good for everyone concerned and "flows" from where you are to where you need to go with it. Most recently for me was my message to move, deciding to rent again (vs. buying, since I don't have time that I want to devote to a house right now), finding and touring a walk-through of an apartment within two hours of that decision (which wasn't the one), which led me to a complex that I had no idea existed five minutes from my current place, which never has openings because it's so amazing and that had an opening for exactly what I wanted - the net result was that I had secured an amazing new living space within 36 hours of receiving my message! Even more, I have a new friend who wanted to move to the desert - turns out that my current place is now waiting for her to move in! It all flowed easily and effortlessly once I got the message, trusted it and took immediate action on it. (And now I get to make the big move - yay!!!!)
Three Things You Can Do Today:
-
Pay attention to your attention. That is, follow your attention and observe what is pulling you because that is a clue to a message that is trying to come in to you. Consider what is showing up in the media, who you meet and who is calling to connect with you, and what you want to learn more about in the moment. This is NOT about paralyzing you with analysis - this about taking 5 minutes at the end of the day to consider what new interests you have or where you have or would like to focus more time or energy. Keep it simple...
-
Notice synchronicities and/or "coincidences". I believe that we are continuously creating that which we need to get to our next level. One way that we can know that is to pay attention to the confluence of events; that is, what seemingly unrelated thing that we were just thinking about suddenly shows up somehow? What billboard do we see? What chance encounter do we have that has the message about changing our future?
-
Ask for information and listen. As simple as this one is, it is often overlooked because it seems too easy. Ask for guidance, a sign, a directive to come to you - you can even ask for it to be specific, such as validation of a message by seeing an angel (then watch for the greeting card / commercial / store window for your angel) or through your dreams. Once you ask the question, be sure you're ready to receive the answer - and trust it when you get it. Remember that we can't make the message be something other than it is, so if you really don't want to hear it somewhere in your being, you'll either block it, sabotage it or try to make it into something else. Again, KISS it... (keep it simple, sweetie!).
When you know what you know by receiving and trusting your messages, you will discover a natural rhythm to your life and business that was right below the surface of your previous way of being. May your messages bring you much joy and abundance.
