with John Holland

Language Of The Soul

Intuition is the language of the soul. We’re all born aware with a profound sense of inner knowing. It’s one of the greatest gifts we possess, which keeps us connected to our higher selves, the universe, and to our divine spirit. At one time or another, we will all experience flashes of intuition, especially when it’s vying for our attention. It’s those hunches, or gentle nudges, that we so often ignore or try to wave off as being simply our imagination — only to find out later that it was correct.


Are You Using Your Intuition To Its Fullest Potential? Take his test to find out just how intuitive you really are!

1. When meeting someone for the first time and you feel uneasy, do you:

(a) Ignore it completely

(b) Acknowledge it and ask yourself: “Why do I feel uneasy?”

(c) Explain it away - thinking it’s your just nerves


2. When you get a gut feeling NOT to drive down a particular road, do you:

(a) Stop and think of the time it will take to drive the alternative route

(b) Quickly decide to trust it and take the alternative route

(c) Stick with the normal route, as it’s never been a problem before


3. You’re thinking of changing jobs, and you got a strong feeling about one company over another, would you:

(a) Still consider all the opportunities

(b) Meditate on it and see if you’re getting a clearer answer

(c) Ask your friends for advice


4. When you walk into a room with a lot of strangers, do you:

(a) Wander around looking at everyone being polite

(b) Gravitate towards a part of the room or group of people that feels right

(c) Stand on your own and wait for someone to come up and talk to you


5. When faced with making an important decision do you:

(a) Ask as many people as you can for their advice and weigh up the odds

(b) Pause and take a moment to see you get a stronger feeling one way or another

(c) Make a conscious decision and trust it was the right one


6. You had an interesting dream and feel that it was trying to tell you something. Do you:

(a) Keep it in the back of your mind and decide to buy a book on dreams at some point

(b) Write out the dream and look for the symbols and try to see if it pertains to anything that is happening in your life right now

(c) Dismiss it and decide that dreams are just your imagination playing out in your sleep


7. When more prosperity is needed in your life, do you:

(a) Believe that there is only so much prosperity to go around and accept that

(b) Make a list of all the different ways to bring more prosperity in your life and begin to bring in the thought of prosperity and abundance

(c) Know that hard work and lots of hours brings in the money


8. You keep thinking of a family member that you haven’t seen in awhile, so do you decide to:

(a) Let it go because that person has not contacted you in a long time

(b) Write a letter or call the person and discover they were also thinking of you

(c) Call someone else and ask if they’ve heard from that family member


9. You enter a room or location that you have never been to before, and you feel uncomfortable. Do you:

(a) Decide to leave immediately

(b) Quickly ask yourself “What am I picking up in this area?”

(c) Explain it away as your imagination


10. You come up with a new idea that would make a great invention, so do you:

(a) Think someone else must have come up with this idea and just let it go

(b) Investigate the market to see if there’s a similar product, and then pursue the idea

(c) Decide that it would be too much work and give the idea to someone else


Results

If you have chosen more of the (b’s) then you are clearly acting on and trusting your intuition. Intuition is the language of the soul. We’re all born aware with a profound sense of inner-knowing. It’s one of the greatest gifts we possess, which keeps us connected to our higher selves, the universe, and to our divine spirit. At one time or another, we will all experience flashes of intuition, especially when it’s vying for our attention. It’s those hunches, or gentle nudges, that we so often ignore or try to wave off as being simply our imagination — only to find out later that it was correct.


How to begin to listen to your intuition

Everyone will develop their intuition in their own way, in their own time. Do not rush. Take all the time you need. It took you many years to pull away from your natural intuitive abilities, so finding your way back will not happen overnight. Are you ready to begin? Let’s find a room that you can set aside, just for you – a room for meditation or a place to get in to a quiet space. Intuition often comes in a whisper and it is best to be in a place that is quiet, where you can devote the time to working with your intuitive abilities. If you don’t have enough space for a room of your own, then maybe a certain corner of another room, or a place where it can be just yours during your quiet time. I also suggest recording in a journal what you are receiving. Shut off the computer. The email will wait. Unplug the phone, if you want total peace.


Here are a few useful tips!


Trust

We’re all equipped with a complex and highly tuned inner-guidance system, which we can access and use anytime we wish. Receiving intuitive information is all about energy, and people, places, and objects are all comprised of it. Since you too are energy, you can receive and read information via your intuitive senses. So trust . . . and give yourself permission to explore, play, and develop your intuitive ability so that you can see yourself — and the world — in a way you never thought possible!


Meditate

Sometimes answers aren’t always found on the outside, but can be discovered within. Intuitive guidance can be yours when you learn to still the mind. How do you silence that mind chatter? Meditation. Try different meditation techniques. Practice for at least 15 minutes a day, just for one week. You’ll quickly notice your conscious thoughts becoming quieter, and intuitive guidance will start to flow. Also, by meditating regularly, you’ll find that all areas of your life will benefit. Enjoy the stillness.


Ask your body

You already possess the most fundamental piece of intuitive equipment. You need look no further than your own physical body for answers. The next time you’re making a decision, just pause for a moment, breathe deeply, and focus on your body. Begin to notice how it’s trying to talk to you. It could be a gut response, a tingle up your spine, a hunch, or an emotion. Embrace what you’re feeling as your body works in partnership with your intuition.


Dreams
Dreams are an excellent way for our intuitive mind to speak to us, so creating a Dream Journal is a good way to start this process. Before you go to sleep tonight, ask your intuition a specific question that you need answered. As soon as you awaken and before your feet touch the floor, write down what stood out in the dream — the people, places, and more important, the emotion in the dream. Try to interpret what your dream is telling you, and look for intuitive symbols and answers to your question.


Psychic Tip:

Reach Out

How about just for today your main purpose is to serve, and give back without expecting anything in return. Reach out and touch other peoples’ spirit. It’s quite likely that someone out there really needs it today. The kindness you give will reinforce that person’s belief and faith that there are people who really care. One act of kindness can create a ripple effect. Maybe you will make this daily act of giving a part of your life forever. Share and spread the energy.


Affirmation for the month:

When we leave this world, all we take with us is what we did or didn’t do


See you next month for our continuing journey of discovery. Do something wonderful today for yourself – you deserve it!







John Holland,
Internationally Renowned Psychic Medium,
Teacher & Author


John Holland is an internationally renowned psychic medium, who has been lecturing, demonstrating and reading for private clients for over 14 years. He is dedicated to an ongoing development of his unique gift and takes his work very seriously. John says, "If I can help people connect with someone on the other side, and bring peace, comfort and perhaps some closure, then I've done my job."


"Mediumship is more than just delivering messages", he says, "it's about the confirmation that once our physical body dies, our 'spirit' lives on, and how the spirits of our relatives, friends and loved ones are still connected to us."


John, author of best selling BORN KNOWING & PSYCHIC NAVIGATOR is keen to promote the difference between being a psychic and a medium. In Psychic Navigator, John teaches the reader the mechanics of their inner awareness in a new way. PN includes many fascinating exercises from John’s popular workshop series, as well as an accompanying meditation CD. John believes that it is essential to understand how to integrate ones psychic abilities, so that they help to guide the reader in all areas of their personal and professional lives, so they truly understand that they ARE spiritual beings with limitless potential.


As for the difference between being a psychic and a medium, a psychic can draw information from your aura, which can provide knowledge about both current and future events, whereas a medium is the conduit between the spirit world and the physical world - the connection, and as John so often calls it - a 'soul to soul connection'.


Using this linking process, spectacular results have been achieved, with clients throughout North America, Canada, Europe, and Australia. He is a regular guest on radio shows across the USA. His story was originally profiled on CBS "Unsolved Mysteries” and the success of Born Knowing and Psychic Navigator has enabled him to captivate audiences throughout the world.


John’s public demonstrations provide his audience with a unique glimpse into this fascinating subject, which he delivers with a mix of his distinctive style of humor, together with a sense of pure intensity. As he loves to tell his audiences, “they want to talk to you as much as you want to talk to them – it’s crowded up here!”


Many words have been used to describe John, from compassionate to insightful, humorous to tender, captivating to mesmerizing. His charismatic personality has become the trademark for his delivery technique, and his ability to link with spirit is a fascinating and breathtaking experience to witness.


2005 sees the publication of John’s third book, entitled:

“101 WAYS TO JUMP START YOUR INTUITION”


In 101 ways to Jump Start Your Intuition, John guides you through 101 quick and easy lessons to help you understand, develop, and work with that inner sense of intuition. This small, yet valuable book will become your companion as you rely more on intuition into your life for direction, insight, clarity, and wisdom on a daily basis. Due for release July 2005
