Intuition “Problem Solver” Tip

I have felt "lesser than " my whole life.. i hide it well .Have had therapy and I know I am strong to have gotten thru life  with lots of traumas.. You.. David In the practice of tunneling thru to my heart about 2 weeks ago was the first time i truly felt accepted..I could totally trust you.. I will be working with you both as much as possible ...it is as tho I am hidden from myself.. numbed ...always hiding.

That was awesome!  I am disappointed that I missed the intuition course but I am thankful that I was able to join the Everything is Energy Summit.  David, you are an amazing teacher.  I look forward to learning more from both you and Kristin!  :  )  Thanks so much.

Did I miss the intuition course???? Where is the link you reference?

What if I have no idea what you are trying to say, but that I really really want to understand.

Hi David,

I had started listening to you and Kristen the first few weeks of your show and while I loved what you were saying - I felt like the both of you were, the most polite way to say it, you felt unauthentic and I actually felt bad about this and thought that there was something wrong with me for feeling this way about 2 very nice and wonderful people who were attempting to do, and often succeeded in doing, very powerful works in helping others.

I had not listened to yours and Kristen's show in over a year and low and behold you were talking about how you two separated, how you both felt that you were not being fully authentic and I was pleasantly shocked and went on a bit of a roller coaster as you explained what had happened. I have been a very nice person like you David and have gotten to the point in the past 6 months that I am so tired and pissed with people lying to themselves and laying blame elsewhere and sometimes on me. Some times I am the source but often I am not and your teachings inspire me and your meditations have been very powerful for me personally.

I have HUGE HUGE HUGE GOALS that are for the benefit of our entire planet and to empower a greater part of Humanity and viable tools, products and services to do this and my biggest block has been clearing my money block! I know that there is a Financial Tsunami on the horizon and I want to clear the dam and let in F"LO"O"W - through the Vortex as Abraham Hicks would say. I truly am honored at your new Authenticity and you always felt authentic by yourself - it was an interesting dynamic between you and Kirsten that did not vibe well with me - but I feel great about you both now and have so much respect for what you have shared and what you have done.

I hope to work with you one day and as a Former Pastor and Evangelist you and I have quite a bit in common.

Peace and Blessings,

Sterling

I'm stuck.not having much success. need help.

Hi David,
How good was that AWESOME, keep those tips comming
Thank you - Hanna

Hi David. I don't often comment on posts, but I find with yours that they resonate so strongly with me that I am inspired to comment. Also, since I immediately practice the tools you share, I want to share my experiences with you. I will admit, I found this tool more difficult to wrap myself around. I find I am less a visual person and more a word/auditory and touch & texture person, so I find myself "talking" or thinking word descriptions when I try to visualize. I am getting better at it though and am also focusing on my body and feelings as I go through the exercise. It helps some. The other thing that happened to me while I was going through the visualization around my problem (finding a way to make money doing something I love), I started to heat up (literally) and have a hot flash - I think I was fighting against seeing the tunnel and exploring my blocks. Anyway, I went through the exercise a few times and I found a major block and a new way to approach the opportunities I see for myself to do what I love (sharing what I know to help people grow and manage themselves and others through change) and making money for it - being confident to ask for money and realizing that money is not "evil" (i.e., asking for money somehow takes away from the value I am providing to people). Money is really a postive energy source that enables innovation, creativity, beauty, life experiences, etc., etc., etc. I need to embrace the positive energy of currency and get out there and offer my gifts to others! Thanks, again, for a wonderful tool. - Deb

Your energy is of a much higher vibration (A GOD type presence) and it affects me in a very positve way. It's always welcomed.

Thank You. And it's much appreciated.

Marianne (Canada)

Marianne,
Thank you...it is my sincere desire to support you stepping into the greatest expression of yourself possible.

Woo Hoo,
David

I like it! It keeps me focused on the different possibilities. Awesome tip!

Hi David, Thank you so much for all that you are doing. Thank you also for the email with John Assaraf info. He is actually one of my favorites from the Secret!
Bests, Michelle

I have SO MUCH to tell you about David, and one day soon will write my journey with you and Kristin. Every time I watch one of these videos, my life takes a magnificent turn by the following day or sometimes, within HOURS! As you may or may not know, I have been HEAVILY involved in pursuing my passions of cooking, helping others and photography. As part of my push forward, outside the "boundaries" of my life, you gave me the impetus, through the Prosperity Tribe, to enter a MAJOR cooking contest by Paula Deen/Kraft/Philadelphia Cream Cheese. I won't kid you or myself; it's been TOUGH to spend 3 mos. of my life, consumed with trying to be one of the 16 Finalists, 4 of which will receive $25K each, 18 cooking episodes of their own, publicity tour, cookbook, etc. I failed to become a finalist, which has been hard but not so much so as I found my MISSION in life! I am pursuing making a coalition of major food companies, non-profits, transportation, communications, Obama For America, banks, etc. LEADERS to meet and find IMMEDIATE solutions and distribution connections to feed the 20+ MILLION people going hungry each day in America, with the numbers rising exponentially each day and about to grow far worse because of the oil spill catastrophe. Anyway, I wanted to show you what happened YESTERDAY! The page will drop down in the chat stream later today when Paula/Philly make some major awards, but for now, I AM the "Spotlight" award of over 5000 women in the contest and am FEATURED on the front page! Just go to this link: http://bit.ly/btVrHE YOU and Kristin got me here! Thank you both so very much! Now, I'm on to creating a position/job for myself with Kraft, teaming up with them and FeedingAmerica.com to become the "RWOP Ambassador of USA Hunger Relief". (They just don't know it yet!) :^)
Blessings David and Thank you for EVERYTHING! Love, Kim Doyle Wille

Wow KIM!!!!! Way to go. I can feel your determination & heart in this creation...bending "reality" to create the results your heart is calling for! WOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

And now, I'm working to pull together a "U.S. Hunger Summit" involving major food companies, communications, mobile apps, distribution, transportation, NPO's, government, etc. LEADERS in September to address the 22 million people in America going hungry each day, now compounded by 22 million MORE children, out of school, with NO lunch program to sustain them through the summer months and the millions more on the Gulf Coast who will be feeling this pain in 6 mos. or less. You give me the tools and the impetus to MOVE mountains David. Thank you and Blessings. :^) Love, Kim

Kim~

Such a Fantastic win for you! Yay! Yay! Yay! SO incredibly touched!

I am presently engaged in the completion of my Children's Community Health Project (www.facebook.comAliveAwareAnew) and like you (lol), began it with aspirations in one direction only to discover it evolving in another-something completely new altogether. Or at least new in that my attention was directed elsewhere. LOL!

Now it is also-gifting it to children placed in foster care to assist with their continuity of care, their sense of security and their overall self-worth. Yes!

I LOVE that you have remained open to all of life's incredible opportunities! I love your passion and your enthusiasm! And I love your willingness to Be that Change! Woo Hoo!

Sometimes it IS this simple. It can begin with a willingness...

Thank you for sharing!

May you have all you desire. And more. Much, much more!
Nicole

So sorry it's taken a few days to get back to you Nicole but have been overcoming an uninstall of Java that is not able to re-install and creating just a little havoc in the work-arounds. :^)

I LOVE what you are doing, from your description and wish I could check out your Facebook page but was victim of same cyber criminal last year who hacked my account, spread malware to my friends and self, each time I try to log-in, with NO help from FB. So, no more Facebook til they clean up their act! I support you though! :^)

Your enthusiasm and commitment are awesome and I love what you say about willingness. It all begins with an open heart, the willingness to pursue the unknown and that GREAT question David and Kristin teach us; "I wonder..."

Thanks for your great message and I'm wishing you Blessings of abundance beyond your wildest dreams.

Namaste,

Kim

Dear David, Thank you for this video. I am going to work with this to see if I can solve some problems of keeping the flow going. Lov ya catherine

thank you... i have tended to watch my ideas like you described and being the watcher watching myself i can usually find a solution to a problem in this way. I am an artist and so i think in pictures more than most. This tunnel you speak of is an interesting way to describe finding the inner core problem .. it actually resembled an apple being cored when i watched you describe it... pictorially it helped me greatly... as i too have had a blockage of the flowing of money for my art... and seeing this i suddenly found myself looking at this problem from the core tunnel you spoke of...... and saw that i have been blocked because of my focus on my husband and not myself.... so thank you for your timely help... I also feel that the attitude of gratitude always brings rewards ....beams of love Mandy :)

Great work Mandy! I love that you were honest with the block and that you shared it with us. It's great to have people who are so willing to grow and learn!

warmly,
David

This is great, David! What you're describing is very similar to something I apply to my life and coaching practice: as a photographer I use the metaphor of moving the camera, changing the aperture on my lens, modifying the lighting, zooming in or out, etc. in order to get a different image of the same subject.

I believe your "tunnel" analogy makes this process even more effective, since it can cut down on trial & error. Also, the wall and underlying belief is great to have in mind as well to get to the "heart" of it even faster.

Thanks for the tip, it will be used!

Cheers,
Carli.

Thank you David, I am going to unfold some areas today- I am grateful for your insight, tools and knowledge.

Thanks David...How timely this has come back to my awareness! Impeccable!

David... this was a great tool. You are helping me come back home to further ways to build on the basics that I learned many years ago.. perhaps in the 1990's.

Blessings,
Sasha

I had a version of that this morning. I keep seeing my vision of success as incompatible with taking care of my youngest son. I 'can't' see at all how I can have the daily life as my vivid future 'movie' plays in my head AND at the same time give my son a feeling of stability, community, love, feeling wanted, etc. In 3 years he'll be in boarding school with his siblings and my future 'movie' can begin with me in the starring role. But I am blocking myself by thinking that I have to 'play small' until then. I can't get my head around the short term plan. I can't see that there is a version of the success AND a happy youngest son with all the trimmings of birthday parties and soccer games. The underlying fears are pretty clear, no problem there, just the action steps feel like 'groping' more than anything else right now. Input welcome!

Interesting David, I'll have to really play with this one. Thanks

Thank you, David,
I will think about this new tool. And come back to listen again very soon to get a better feeling of how I can use it now. Theoretically, I see how it works.
Right now, I feel a bit of overwhelm.
Patricia

Ok, that's an option with a visual twist. The bottom line is getting to the core and the core will consume the other bandages. When recognizing the core isssue, once spoken what that is, it feels almost like a enlighten spiritual high . Then you have confirmation from intuition, Spirit and the individual (that's it). Then they can start a road to heal.

David,
Thanks for your sharing. I have the ability to lead others to experience and trust their intuition and have assisted many people over the past 20 years . I used to trust my intuition yet for some years since becoming aware of a deep fear of feeling unsafe sharing my truth, I lost trust in my intuition and have been unable to move forwards....stuck....stuck....stuck up against that wall!!!!! In meditation I 'saw' an incident with my Dad as a toddler [very forthright] and have been unable to 'see' the details, believe my unconscious isn't letting me see it. Confused as to whether I am unable or unwilling to shift this HUGE FEAR.....it is so holding me back from sharing my gift. I've tried every therapy around and still no result...I'm at the end of my tether, and so very tired and financially challenged...I know this has to shift before I can step into my destiny CAN YOU HELP?
Kali - Australia

I love that the community is here supporting one another. In many ways the replies have answered this better than I could. I'll add one thing...fear is just energy...as daunting as it is, it's just energy. Be willing to face the "fear" and say hello to it without trying to get rid of it. When you say hello, the fear lessens. When you then add breath, you realize that it can't destroy you, like the fear says. Create space around this tightened fear energy and you'll realize it can be moved, transformed, or befriended...and that liberation sits on the other side.

Warmly,
David

Kali, I totally get what you mean about wanting to know the full incident and feeling like maybe you have in order to shift it but the fact is you are AWARE and awareness is the first key. What emotion do you have and what emotion would you like to trade it for? The more you dwell on "trying to figure it out" the more you are in the energy of stuck. If you weren't stuck, what would you be doing? Can you do a visualization where the adult you steps in for the toddler you and provides for you whatever you needed in that moment? What emotion is attached to that event? Can you visualize weeding it out regardless of the details and as you weed it out what do you want to take its place? What emotion would you like instead?

In reading your post I was reminded of a story I heard today. It went something like this. A nun was seeing visions of Jesus and she told the priest above her about the visitations. He wanted to ascertain the validity of her visions so he told her to ask Jesus what his sin was before he was elevated to his current position in the church. Well, a little bit of time went by and they found themselves at the same event and so the priest asked the nun well, what was my sin? Her reply was I forgot. I found that to be quite illuminating in that we really don't need all of the details sometimes (I love details) the point is, do we forgive or not? I now believe that we do not always have to know the origin of the pain, trauma, fear, whatever in order to heal it. We simply need to be convicted that we can heal. What do we want instead? I am reading an awesome book, My Stroke of Insight. It's an awesome book on healing. It is one woman's story and much about our brains. She shared about how our left brain hooks into a feeling and continually feeds it back to us the more we think it. She talks about how feelings arise in our bodies and about how we have a choice (though this choice is made very quickly) to allow the feeling to move through our bodies and be released or notice it and feed it with reactive behavior and thoughts. These aren't her exact words but the point was that we always have a choice about how we feel and that monitoring our thoughts is key to how we feel and therefore the actions we do or don't take. I am working to release my own HUGE FEAR of not being good enough and sharing my gifts anyway. I'm glad we are here. I am here also to build my finances as well. For some reason I shy away from the idea of being paid well to do what I do. I don't always know how to measure the work I do and I need to start really stepping into working. I've been a stay at home mom for so long, my kids 5 of 6 are still under my roof and I really want to maintain my roof and buy food and clothes not to mention recreation and sport activities.

Kali,
I know you are asking for David's thoughts, not necessarily mine. However, if you are interested, please read on. In a nutshell, I have experienced this same fear (really it felt like terror) and have a similar past. What comes up for me is...we often want to know what created the fear, that way we can face it, grieve it, understand it, make sure it does not happen again. This has worked for me a lot in therapy...but it did not fully do the trick. I still was fearful. What I have realized is...FEAR all comes from one place...it just takes many different forms. When you begin to overcome it in one area you will see the positive ripple effects in other areas of your life. My gut says that...your subconsious is keeping the details to itself because you don't need to know them to move on, if you trust that whatever was in the past can not harm you now (and you are not defective in anyway), and begin sharing your truth, you will feel uncomfortable for a while. But then, you may even laugh about how scared you were. No matter what you've done, no matter what others have done to _or_ with you. You are whole. Complete. And, you are safe. The safest (but not most comfortable thing you can do) is be you. It is empowering. It starts with sharing...the response of others has no bearing on how free and safe this will make you feel. A friend told me the other day that the only time he fears the future is becuase he is seeing it without god in it. Sad things happen to people perpetrated by others. People can be unloving. Life can hurt and will. But, by living in fear the beautiful moments slip by. If you choose to be kind to yourself, your inner fear and critic will calm down, and you can then relax into life and your greatness. Start sharing..I KNOW it is the safest thing you can do. I KNOW IT!!! A few key books for me: Non-Violent Communication (this helped SO much), Fearless by Arianna Huffington, and Radical Acceptance. Love to you and it is awesome that you reached out. Heather, Oregon

Thanks so much as always, David. I'm going to work with this and see what insights and inroads I can discover!

Thank you, David, for this tool. I am going to work with it with the intention of finding a solution to the abundance that as been eluding me. Umm, looking through the tunnel.....

I love the kaleidoscope visual, seeing the layers of color and light, looking for ways to view things differently, not only from different angles, but even to take it deeper and ask questions like "If this issue had a color, what would it be? What would it taste like? If I were on the other side, the side where I've solved it, even if my 'today' mind doesn't know HOW it happened, what color would I want to see it as? What shape would I want it to assume? Would there be a tunnel, a door, or a window? If there was music in the image, what would it be? By taking the process even further into the imagination, I am better able to release my deathgrip on the problem, and start to imagine what a solution might feel like, and thus open doors to allow a solution to emerge. Amazing spark! Thank you.

Like peeling an apple or onion perhaps, to find/reveal its centre/core !!!

Thanks David - This technique is like looking into a kaleidoscope - there are an infinite number of patterns- an infinite number of options possible. I'm interested in this as a tool in coaching, as all of us often get emotionally stuck with one option - and this may be a tool to help those I coach (and me) play with more options in moving forward. Cheers, Penelope M

interesting comment- i will try your technique , thanks

Thanks David, sorted some unfindable stuff, quite a potent tool and thanks so much for sharing this.

I appreciate this new tool. It seems like a fun way to solve problems. Lately I have been struggling with getting angry and yelling at my children. We have a 4 month old puupy. We also have 3 boys ages 2 1/2, 7 and 10. I stay home with my children and I'm trying to work at home teaching scrapbooking, selling scrapbooking tools, and making scrapbooks for clients. Between potty training, house training, a dog that needs exercise, boys who need to do homework, making meals, cleaning and more, I feel there isn't any time for me or my business. I have been getting so frustrated that I scream at the top of my lungs. My 10 year old, who is very sensitive, talks to me like I'm a child and tells me that all I need to do is see things differently.. What a smart boys. He's been listening to me when I try to help him deal with anger, frustration and anxiety. The problem is, I am really struggling with my own anger, frustration and anxiety. Sometimes I feel we need to get rid of the dog (but that would break my kids' hearts and maybe in few months, she won't be so demanding). Other times I feel I need a housekeeper (but I can't seem to figure out how to pay that person). Other times I think I should go back to work, but I want to scrapbook and make money and be home for my kids. Basically, I feel trapped. I tried this exercise. What I came up with was to "let them have fun". I interpret that as, let there be joy. Let me relax and allow the kids and dog to be themselves and not expect a clean house, and perfectly behaved kids. It feels right to me, but I still see blocks popping up like how to I manage when everyone has needs from me that I can't possibly meet? How do I find time for my needs? Will letting them be mean that I am not giving them enough limits? I think underlying all is my need to control everything and be involved in everything. I need to let go, and let them be themselves so that I can be myself.

Hi,

This is great insight! I have shared some of my personal thoughts below :)

Feeling trapped sucks. There is hope. You are the jailer. You decide the terms. It is not an all or nothing. Sometimes you will have a clean house, sometimes the kids will be well behaved and sometimes not, etc. So...know you can have some of these things, maybe not all at the same time, all of the time. Try to appreciate them when they are happening.

It sounds like you are there for your family is so many wonderful ways. You can continue to do so, but finding time to have your needs met is your biggest priority. It has to be. It will serve them too, it will keep you from showing your frustration and anxiety, and/or holding it in so long you have depression and rage. I have been there done that :) Your 10-year old will follow your lead. One of the BIGGEST things we can teach our children is to be able to identify their need/feelings and empower them to be able to meet their need (whether that is making a request--not a demand, or simply going upstairs if they realize they need space). We all have needs. Spend some time identifying your feelings and needs and finding support -- if you need it -- to make time available. Know that you WILL let people down on the surface, but in the higher order we are all one, honoring yourself honors them. Right now, you are letting yourself down.

You will not be perfect. As soon as you accept this, in my experience life gets easier. Then you can take a deep breath and start identifying those needs and be the example. Needs are a good thing. Your family will prosper; it is freedom from the jail.

A good site if you think your child may need counseling is 211.org (you can typically find things in your area and often at a reduced cost), this may distribute some of the emotional load that is on you.

Good books: Non-Violent Communication (this is in my top three favorite books, talks a lot about identifying needs and feelings and tranforming the relationship with yourself and others) and Radcial Acceptance

All my best to you :) Go easier on yourself.
Heather, Oregon

Hi Jlalbums, I know just how you're feeling. I'm in a similar situation, but we have 7 children (3 boys 15yr-10yr) (4 girls 7yr-12 months) and a dog who has just had a litter of 9 pups. I don't have a home career interest as such, but am studying as much as I can in Metaphysics - my passion which I hope to turn into a career one day. I get very frustrated with my brood and find myself yelling at them because I can't concerntrate but using this tool of David's has taught me the obvious - make time for children,housework, interests, dogs and husband. I am more of a logical thinker which can be a nightmare sometimes, expecting everything to be in it's place and practical. But as this just seems to be leading to frustration, being more logical I make a diary with time slots for everything for eg. I am spending 2 hrs with my kids during the day doing whatever they want to do and I am 100% involved, next housework.....get my kids to do what they can then let them outside until it's done and play with the dogs of course.....studying when kids at school or asleep during the day and of course husband at night....haha Good luck! Lavinia

Thumbs up David. Thank you for the share. I needed this as a reminder to see differently and at the same time a reminder to be gentle on myself so the child gets out to play. I am all about the magic of play and intuition. Off to play....

Hiya David & the community... Wow, thanxz 4 sharing this 2 day.... So happens, I have just the thing I need to use this 4.. Actually, a couple of things.. U must be heaven sent & or ur right on the money 2 day.. U also, pointed out something on one of these concerns, I hadn't brought into play or thought about..
Love, Light & Blessings to U David & all the community.. Namaste, to you also!.. Thanxz, again!

Great Exercise...and so easy...Thanks!! I'm going to play with it and see what happens...

Thank you so much, just now I needed this tip, I was meditationg and I realized a pattern in onw area is repeating and I have to find a way to stop this cycle, in another area I have realized that I am not progressing, and I have to find out exctly why or if I should stay on that track or not...all about taking decision, with a clearer prospective.
My best regards, you are so kind
Mönik

David - I LOVE the new problem solving tool. What I seem to keep running up against is around self worth issues. Any advise? :) Brenda

Hi Brenda: I have had a history of being successful in areas that causes relationships to become envious or jealous and my perception was to avoid hurting them and I would sabotage my successes. I kept working at this from David's perspective of turning to find the cause. What I found actually before I viewed this video, was that in my childhood, everytime I asked permission to do something I wanted to do, I was turned down. What that carried out in life for me was that when I realized I didn't need permission, so I went ahead. However, I allowed other's insecurity to control my successes. Is it possible that your self worth issues are around you not giving yourself permission to proceed with that which you desire because of a buried belief and that you need to be very careful of the good opinion of others? I can tell you that from my own experience, I have had relationships fail because I gave in to them and then became truly unhappy that I wasn't living my fullest. When I was living my fullest, my partners were unhappy and I assumed responsibility for them. I don't assume that anymore.

Perhaps if you look at self worth as not your cause, but rather your result, you may find that door that closes on negative self worth and opens unto you the true worth you really are.

Great reply! I love that you are so "there" for one another! For this post, I don't have any other suggestions other than the one "Guest" posted besides asking to experience the vibration or feeling of what true self worth would feel like, and then by contrast see if anything else surfaces to help you get your answers and freedom.

Woo Hoo,
David

Perspective is SUCH an important lesson! Thank you for sharing your insights and breakthroughs David <3

David,

Thanks so much for the brilliant timing of this. Last night I was watching a Spiritual Cinema Circle DVD. The film is called Visions of a Universal Humanity by Barbara Marx Hubbard. In one of the segments, Bruce Lipton was talking about patterns in the Universe and the ability we now have to see where we have been, where we are now and where we are going.

A thought entered my head about a disagreement I had with my sister a few days ago. She wanted to talk on the phone and know my 5 yr plan. I thought of the pattern I have learned to detach from my family every time there was something happening in my life that was different from everyone else. For example, divorcing my first husband when no one in my family gets divorced (breaking a pattern of verbally, abusive, alcoholic husbands), deciding to home school my children and then the criticism that came from my family. Now selling everything and moving across the country with the vision to open to inspiration and allow the next steps to emerge into something new...Her pattern is fear, worry and concern that I am having a mental breakdown. My pattern is to be pissed off, distant and unable to talk with her at all. Last night I thought, what are the patterns that emerge and lead me to a breakthrough and can I predict the process? Now with this video, I am thinking, Can I look at the tunnel, see the path, the beliefs and the future? Can I embrace all of this journey in a deeper, more conscious way? Can I feel the feelings of sadness, disappointment, loss in a deeper way knowing that there is a richer, fuller expression of myself that will emerge on the other side of the tunnel? Can I embrace the labor pain in a fuller way and move to the birth? Yes, I can!

Thank you for tuning into the field of possibilities and offering so much wisdom. I am deeply grateful.

In appreciation,
Andrea

Thanks David. This is great information that I will be using in my life and to help my clients.

With gratitude, Brenda
