Doesn’t everything feel good when we come from love? Can you remember your perspective about all aspects of life when your heart filled with love for your lover, your new baby, your new friend, your newfound connection with God or nature? When we feel love, we feel so good about everyone and everything. Why? Because when we focus on whatever it is that created pure loving feelings, we are releasing endorphins and neuropeptides in the brain which travel throughout the body, finding the appropriate receptor sites, and the body immediately is aware of how we are feeling. It then works to create even more of the same. So, being in love or focusing on anyone or anything that represents love will enable you to produce chemicals which translate as messages of love for your body. We know, scientifically, that love is one of the highest calibrated vibrations, and that such high vibrations contribute to greater immune system functioning. So, we are healthier, but we are also more psychic!

Your heart chakra is an energy center deeply affected by your personal experiences of either being in love or being in heartbreak. Remember the expressions, “My heart feels like it is breaking.” or “I am so happy I feel like my heart is about to explode!” ? Your heart registers your feelings of love and joy. Psi energy (your ability to know ) is increased during times of significant feelings of love, as well as of grief and pain. Actually, it is when you are feeling great love or grief that you experience multiple synchronicities. It is during these times that amazing events occur that you know are more than simply coincidences.

We look forward to hearing from you if you have experienced the intuitive power of love.

Are you still carrying around the time your best friend let you down? Are you still angry with yourself because you lost your temper at a friend who was truly giving you his or her best? Do you still grieve for a loved one who meant the world to you? Are you carrying around your family’s pain because a relative let everyone down? Perhaps you are really angry at a school or college or company because it chose to not accept you or a loved one.

Unless you are willing to be honest with yourself about old hurts, resentments, and painful thoughts and feelings you continue to carry with you, you will have difficulty developing intuitively. What is required here is having the intention of forgiving those who have hurt you, not for the other person’s sake, but for yours. Also, essential is holding them in your focus, being willing to truly forgive them for their actions, and then surrendering them to the Universe. Here’s a powerful technique: Begin first by focusing on your breath, and only when calm and relaxed, picture your heart filling with love. Feel the love in your heart. Then, focus on the individual you wish to forgive, send this love to the person and, while doing do, repeat (with feeling) the words, I forgive you. Also, state, or think the thought, I surrender you to the Universe or God because I need to be detached from you and move one with my life. Sometimes, it helps to picture a cord that runs between you and the individual and to imagine taking a scissors and cutting the cord while you are forgiving this person. See them sliding away from you; feel your energy of well-being returning and filling you with a sense of peace. The more you practice this throughout the day, while in meditation, or during each of your breath exercises, the easier it will become for you achieve true forgiveness. Eventually, it will feel more genuine and you will feel lighter, healthier and happier. Remember, this is for you healing you and not for the other person!

Remember to be light; find the humorous aspect of a situation; focus on whatever make you laugh, smile and simply feel really, really happy and good. Renting a funny video or going to a hilarious movie will raise your vibrations immensely. Find<strong> a wonderful spiritual teacher as well as a group of like-minded people who share your hunger to develop intuitively. Engage in any activity for which you have a passion or have always wanted to do but could not. Play your favorite CD music frequently. Visit the beach, your favorite lake, or the mountains; take a seminar; go on a retreat. Each of these activities will allow you the experience of increased sensations of peace, tranquility, and serenity.

Give of yourself to help or serve others. Volunteer at a local soup kitchen, hospital, home for youth or the elderly. Bake a cake or bring in a meal for someone on your block who is lacking support, emotionally and/or physically. Find someone in whose life you can make a difference, be it with a hug, smile, transportation, a dinner, or,simply, your presence. Know that any time you give from your heart, your body and your soul are delighted and release needed endorphins and neuropeptides which correspond to your altruistic intentions. In other words, your body and your soul love it when you give of yourself.
