Intuition or Inspiration
Last week on a teleclass I was asked if intuition and inspiration are the same and I admitted that it was something that I had been pondering recently.
I said that intuition is something that we have a feeling about … maybe there is a decision that we are trying to make and then we get the answer. Sometimes we meet someone and know instantly about whether we want to associate with this person. For many it is a feeling in the pit of the stomach and that is why intuition is often referred to as a “gut” feeling.
Inspiration is something totally different.
A few years ago I had been pondering the concept of where money comes from in the spiritual sense. Then one day I was standing in my kitchen and I asked this question outloud. I received an answer that told me to interview a series of experts in the field and I said to myself ..”OK.” Then an idea popped into my head that said “Why don’t you interview them and create an audio series and then sell it.”
I stood there just pondering this idea that came through and hit me on my head. I call it getting “zinged!” And I thought about it and made the decision to get started and within 24 hours had already lined up half of the speakers.
When you take immediate and bold action there is a divine flow from the universe that supports your efforts.
So next time you are wondering … “Is it inspiration or is it intuition?” Just tune in…This raises your awareness.
I do believe at times there is a fine line and it is probably not important to know and label whether something is intuition or inspiration.
The most important thing to remember is that we LISTEN and TAKE APPROPRIATE INSPIRED ACTION!
Garden Meditation and Adventure
Recently I was inspired to go out in my garden and pull the many weeds that had been growing. It was really interesting because I had been dreading it for weeks as I watched the weeds grow tall and wide.
When I started pulling weeds it was refreshing and it felt as if I was pulling weeds from my mind. There was a woosh of energy that kept pushing me to do something I would have preferred to hire a gardener for. I began to really enjoy myself and even pulled up a stool to sit on because I was getting tired after spending much more time in the garden than I had planned!
In one way I was really excited I waited so long because some of weeds were long enough to grab several bunches at a time so it was going much faster than I expected.
And then it happened!
It started raining and I did not mind. In fact I kept going and it started to rain really hard and I was just loving it. I had never done anything like that before and it was so exhilarating. My clothes and hair were completely drenched and I was covered with mud.
Fortunately I was wearing my waterproof hiking shoes that went up over my ankles and when I stood up my shoes completely submerged in the earth and I was hysterical with laughter and wished someone could have been there to witness my playfulness and my joyfulness.
This could never have happened had I gone out to pull weeds when I did not feel the inspiration to do it. This is what told me to put on those hiking shoes and to wear the jeans I wore!
When I had enough in the garden I hosed myself down to get all the mud off of me and felt like a child who was having the time of her life!
After I showered I wrapped towels around me and relaxed in a dark room and it reminded me when I traveled to Calistoga, California and spent some time in a spa that all began with being totally submerged in a bathtub of mud! After that I gave myself a pedicure!
Then I relaxed on the lounge chair in my den and looked out at the garden. It was so clean and fresh and I felt the same way.
What I realized in that moment is that I felt close to mother earth in a way that was very new to me and I could’ve sat there for hours except I was getting really hungry!
Usually I drive to Whole Foods or the Chinese restaurant around the corner to pick up my favorite food and this day I felt different and wanted something to match how I felt.
All of a sudden I thought about a Vietnamese restaurant I had not been to in over a year and realized that was where I wanted to be. This particular restaurant is about 20 minutes from my house and near the nursery I like to buy my plants from and it is in a wonderful part of town … lots of really good energy!
So that is what I did and I thoroughly enjoyed myself and then I went to Whole Foods for dessert and shared my story with a friend!!
The entire day and evening was completely inspired from first going out into the garden to my “spa” treatment for myself to eating at restaurant I love with all the tiny details in between. And the deep relaxation and living meditation was immense and pleasurable beyond all measure!
If you enjoyed my story do let me know and I would love to hear any stories you have about living an inspired day!
Love and Inspiration!

Divine Inspiration, this blog and me
I began this blog in December of 2008 about the time I was getting ready to create my Spiritual Grid Manifestation DVD and as much as I wanted to write more often I did not. As I reflect I realize that there was so much that I was not clear about at that time.
That is one of the gifts of time. It gives us great perspective.
As I have been shifting gears in how I help people shift into who they came here to be I am making a commitment to write more often here on this blog and in other ways.
I’ll be speaking about what I know best … Divine Inspiration.
Some of you may relate more if I tell you that connecting to your Divine Inspiration is about connecting to your Creativity!!
Creativity is what we are here for. We are each creating our lives in each and every moment whether we are aware of it or not!
Sometimes I will be sharing a story about something or someone that inspired me and how and why.
Other times I may tell you about an experience that I had during that day that is related to inspiration.
What I really look forward to sharing with you is how I live in my inspiration on a moment to moment basis just about everyday.
It could be about my spontaneous decision to take a walk, buy a cup of coffee at Whole Foods or scale a building … LOL …last night a friend of mine told me about the famous French Spiderman whom he met in person once!
You never know who you are going to see or what you are going to learn and how this will change your life or someone else’s life for the better.
I am ready to really stand for myself in what I came here to do. It has been a very long journey and I know there is so much more for me to learn and I look forward to learning with you.
If you like what I write and if it inspires you in anyway I would like to know. This further inspires me.
It has taken me a long time to align myself and my work with my true core gift … this ability to connect with this deeper part of me and live in inspiration.
You can live in inspiration too. As I look back to my childhood … that is decades! … I can see that I was always connected to this deeper part of myself and it is something that I have learned to develop over my lifetime.
This occurred with the practice of being in business and creating a multitude of tangible products and services. Sometimes they worked out really well and other times I fell flat on my you know what!
I learned from each of these experiences all in the expectation that I would serve others in the area of personal growth.
So I continue that now by helping to open you to your divine inspiration so that you may continue to create your life consciously whether you want to expand your business, change your career or job or want to be happier.
Maybe you just want to have more fun and more time to play! I know I do!
Let’s do it together!
Divine Inspiration is my passion. How can I serve you?
To Your Divine Inspiration!

Divine Inspiration Overcomes Stuckness
Over the past 26 years as an entrepreneur I have had the joyful (and sometimes exasperating!) experience of being blessed with a natural gift to receive divine inspiration.
The reason I say exasperating is because it took me nearly two decades to really understand my gift and how I could harness my energy properly to create inspiring products and services.
I’ve been amazed at the products I have created over the years … all of them related to personal growth, spiritual healing and the body.
After so many years in the creation process I have been divinely inspired to coach those who are interested in knowing just how I do this.
The truth is that everyone came into this world equipped to be divinely inspired in any area of life. In order to get past all the stuckness and uncertainty and fear that springs forth … especially during these times … requires knowing that the best solutions to life’s challenges come in the form of divine inspiration.
Opening to your divine inspiration and learning how to harness it properly will create your most fulfilling life!
That is the theme of my new website as you can see!
I am happy to let you know that next week on June 2, 2010 at 7pm central I am leading a preview to my 4 part teleclass series: “Open To Divine Inspiration”
www.wendygyoung.com/previewopen
I’ll be discussing the “7 Signs of Being Stuck and Uninspired” and then I will giving you some divinely inspired strategies for beginning to open to the wonderful flow of divine inspiration. Then I will be filling you in on the details of the Opening To Divine Inspiration teleclass series.
Are you ready to shift your reality from the powerlessness of stuckness into the creative flow of divine inspiration?
If you are I look forward to having you join me!
Lets get some spark lighting up the universe! Lets shift this place!
To your divine inspiration!

Consciousness Expansion: What is it?
The idea of “Consciousness Expansion” has intrigued me for many years and I wonder sometimes if others perceive themselves and their universe in similar ways.
The way for me to describe “Consciousness Expansion” is to ask this question:
“How do I see the world around me that I cannot see?”
Years back I began to wonder what it would be like if my consciousness could be inside the consciousness of a flower! Then I wondered about a tree and the grass and the stars!
Have you ever thought about anything as seemingly crazy as that?
Years back I imagined that I was traveling all over the universe and that I was the universe and I felt such deep love and joy all over my body.
This was all imagined….being one with the flower, the tree, the universe.
Then a few years ago I was receiving some energy work with a trained energy worker and I had the most beyond amazing experience.
I felt as big as the universe while relaxing there on the massage table and I felt myself open up. I could see and feel the entire universe inside the core of my body. It was beautiful and breathtaking and expansive and one of the most wonderful feelings I had ever experienced.
How did that happen? It is because I had been imagining being one with the universe for such a long time and one day I allowed myself to open up to see who I really am.
Who I really am is the Source of all my good. I am the universe. I am love. I am.
The more open I am to seeing who I really am opens the way to deeper connection to this “Source of me” so that I may create all that I desire.
Just some interesting thoughts to ponder.
We have been exploring many consciusness expansion ideas in the Connecting to the Spiritual Grid series I have been running the past few weeks.

Connecting to the Spiritual Grid…the energetic universe
Last year I spent a big portion of the year creating my Spiritual Grid Manifestation DVD. This is my first physical product and I had no idea what it was going to be like to create! When Dr. Joe Vitale heard about my technology he told me that the best way for me to get it out there was to hold a workshop and videotape it and create my DVD.
Well it was not so easy! Joe has created many physical products and has written at least 30 books. He has quite the experience and the team in place to help with all the details.
When I think back to the months it took to have the right people on my team and have good video to edit I am reminded of all the stress that I experienced to create my product. Sometime I even forgot to use my own technology…especially when I was in the trenches!
What was missing for me is being connected to the energetic universe on a consistent basis. I knew what I wanted and was in the process of creating it. I had used my technology over the years to create abundance for myself and then I forgot to stay connected.
What is up with that?!
For years I have had all these “practices” running through my mind and this past year I became clear about how these could really help you stay so connected that every one of your actions are fueled by the energetic universe to create the money you want and the peace and time to enjoy it!
The first one is called “The Path and The Stone.” If you are curious at all about connecting to the universe then see what the stone has to say to you. When you are connecting to the stone you are opening yourself up to the universe and to who you really are.

New Year’s Day a Second Time
Yesterday I participated in a class with Lissa Boles, The Soul Mapper where she explained everything that is going on with the planets. It is fascinating! Over the years I really never took the time to understand what astrology is all about but in the creation of my DVD this past year it just all of a sudden started making sense to me.
I do not know if I will ever begin taking classes in astrology but I have been paying a lot more attention to what is happening with the planets lately. Many unusual things are happening.
It started with the Blue Moon and lunar eclipse on New Year’s Eve while Mercury and Mars were in retrograde. The past few weeks were about reviewing and getting clear on what you want to create in the next year. Your decisions can impact you for the next seven years.
But not to worry because Mars will be in retrograde for several more weeks and it will help to slow you down in case you are wanting to run out of the shoot and conquer all your desires in one day. Mercury has gone direct today and that means it is time to start putting your little toe into your new plans and ideas…sort of test the waters a bit…once you are in touch with your goals of course.
The planets have been lining up to help us shift into who we are becoming and in that process it calls for review and a letting go of the old. I have been doing much of both!
Last night was a solar eclipse also very significant and today is a new moon. It is a perfect day for getting in touch with your goals. As soon as I am done posting this blog I am off to do just that.
What I also learned is that today is an “unofficial” New Years Day because of all these wild occurences happening with the planets!! I do not really understand enough to explain it to you and just wanted to let you know what I learned from my good friend, Lissa Boles.
So Happy New Year…again!!! And happy getting in touch with your dreams, goals and desires!
iLoveU !

Feng Shui: “A Purse on the Floor is Money Out the Door”
Several weeks ago I was sitting at my favorite hangout, Whole Foods Market in Houston and one of the employees saw my purse sitting on the floor and sat down beside me to tell me it is bad luck to have your purse on the floor!
As soon as he told me I remembered my Feng Shui consultant, Katherine Ashby had mentioned this to me years before so I asked her if she would write an article about it that I could post on my blog.
Here it is…btw, if you do not carry a purse feel free to share this with someone who does 🙂

Feng Shui: “A Purse on the Floor is Money Out the Door”
by Katherine Ashby, Professional Feng Shui Consultant, Feng Shui Houston © 12/17/2009
It’s bad Feng Shui to put your purse on the floor, especially now, during holiday shopping time when thieves are working overtime. But besides that, there’s an old Chinese proverb that states “a purse on the floor is money out the door.” Your money, checkbook and credit cards are usually in your purse and putting them on the floor shows disrespect for the order of things and disregard for your wealth and money. You wouldn’t think of putting your bag of gold on the floor, would you?
I think the problem is that purses have gotten so big-we even call them “bags” now, as in, may I get your bags, said by the bell boy. They are practically as big as an overnight suitcase. When purses were small, we could sit them on the table at restaurants and they looked really cute. Or, we could place them on our laps while we ate. But now that purses are so large, it’s a bit of a problem and a practical issue. They’re so heavy we don’t want to hang them from our shoulders all the time, but we also don’t want to rudely put our giant personal belongings on someone’s desk or on the counter when checking out at a retail store, so we usually end up setting the purse on the floor at our feet.
So, purse etiquette; what to do? You can always hang your purse on the back of your chair in a restaurant, but only if your back is to the wall; otherwise, it might get stolen. Or, you can use a near-by chair if one is available, but you still have to keep your eye on it. A better solution is to use a purse hook that slips on the edge of the table and has a hook on the other end for your purse to hang by its strap. You can find purse hooks online.
Besides, the floor is really filthy, especially in restaurants, restrooms, movie theaters, and other public places. When you put your purse on the floor and then on your desk, bed, kitchen counter or table, you are transferring all that filth-yucky and very hazardous to your health! You can clean leather purses with leather cleaner and fabric purses with fabric cleaner.
And, by the way, if your purse or wallet is worn out or stuffed with last month’s litter, you are sloppy with your money. Sorry to point that out, but you are probably unconsciously wasting money, don’t know how much money you have, or you’re behind in your bills. It pays to be highly conscious of all aspects of your money including your purse or wallet. Try cleaning out your purse or wallet and updating old information, pictures, credit cards, etc. Hide a $50 or $100 dollar bill somewhere in your purse so you will never be broke.

don Miguel Ruiz at Unity in Houston
Happy New Year to all of you! Here’s to a wonderful 2010 and beyond!
Towards the end of last year I had the pleasure of co-interviewing HeatherAsh Amara with my mastermind partner Chip Engelmann and we had a great conversation about shifting consciousness using some techniques we played with live. It can be as simple as taking an action that makes you smile and laugh.
Heather Ash Amara has been an apprentice of don Miguel Ruiz, author of The Four Agreements for many years and she invited me to hear him speak at Unity this past week.
I am so glad I went as it has been many years since I have been to Unity and it was a magical evening for me. It would be impossible to capture the essence of the evening in a simple blog post and at the same time I want to hightlight a couple of the key points. Sharing this information helps me live these ideas in a deeper way.
don Miguel Ruiz asked us if we would help him change the world.
I am all for that. Basically what he was saying is that it starts from within us. That each of us has our own view of the world and each of our views is correct…for us. It is not for us to tell others that they are wrong because in their mind they are right.
He told us to take a look at the lies we tell ourselves and to become more authentic in how we live our lives.
And he is right. That is what shifting consciousness is all about. That is what I have been teaching for many years. We have to take responsibility in our own life to change ourselves and when we change ourselves we change the world.
He brought both of his sons and HeatherAsh on stage to speak and they were all exciting speakers and if you ever have a chance to hear any of them speak I highly recommend it.
The final thing I want to say is about “the final judgment” they spoke about. This refers to the final time that you judge yourself. When you stop judging yourself others stop judging you and this is what changes the world.
Let me know what you think.
iLoveU !

Magical Holiday Spirit Aligns Your Best 2010
I have spent the last few days contemplating new reasons why this time of year really IS so magical 🙂
There is music in the air and people scurrying about buying gifts for friends, associates and loved ones and for themselves. There are parties with plenty of laughing and cheer. This holiday spirit is everywhere and you are a part of it.
And the new year brings thoughts of renewal and inspiration for even more good to flow.
What can you do to harness this energy to help align you with a year of cheer? I’m getting to that!
Firstly 🙂 if you have been following my blog or have been a subscriber to my list then you know that I am about helping people create their most fulfilling life using law of attraction tools that embody the energy of what they want. In fact my Spiritual Grid Manifestation technology helps you embody in profound ways because of the multi-layered technologies. There is a reason it has been called “Visualization on Steroids!”
So what does manifestation have to do with this time of year and creating a 2010 beyond your wildest dreams? Ok I’ll tell you!
Manifestation is all about who you are BEING – who you are being on the inside. Who you are “being” is felt by everyone in your presence and even those who are not in your presence. For example your energy can be felt on the phone, in your words in emails and when you spend time social networking on Twitter, Facebook and various other sites. When you walk into a room “who you are being” is felt and can be seen in how you hold your body and on your face.
Most importantly your “Beingness Factor” (I just coined a new phrase!) is felt by the Universe — the source of your supply. This is really big.
You’ve probably heard the phrase “You cannot fool Mother Nature”… well Mother Nature is the Universe! The universe knows all. If you are saying one thing and feeling another then the Universe knows! Everything that comes to you is related to the vibration you hold in your body.
Ask yourself exactly how you want to be seen and heard. How do you want to feel? Write it down and then imagine what it would be like if you were already that person. See it and then place it into your body by “stepping” into it. Take a big, HUGE powerful stand for who you want to be in the world. Make that beingness part of who you are. Raise your vibration by consistently playing this game with yourself.
You must claim this new BEINGNESS as the YOU that you want to ring in 2010 with if you want to change your life for the better.
Since this time of year is already so cheery then harness that loving and warm energy to align with the best 2010 you can imagine.
Every single time you notice how good you are feeling bring that into your body. Breathe life into. Be it. Live it. Expand the feeling of how wonderful it feels by a million and then a million more. Make it part of who you are and it will be with you – forever. It is now in your cells and you will continue to expand. It really can be as simple as we allow it.
Let me know how you liked this post. This is one of my new favorites!
iLoveU !
Wendy
