Your impression could be a vision (psychic/clairvoyant), a disembodied voice (clairaudient), a gut feeling (intuition/kinesthetic response), or a simple ‘knowing’ that without explanation, forethought or planning, ‘flashes’ into your mind.
With my visual psychic/clairvoyant ability, I see imagery either “inside” my mind or “outside” my mind as if on an invisible movie screen. For example, many years ago, I was at a friend’s party giving short palm readings to the guests. As one woman sat down in front of me, I saw twelve angels around her. The angels weren’t visible in the way that she was – I saw them energetically and could feel their energy in the physical space with us. Curious and a wee bit nervous, I said, “Are you aware that you have twelve angels walking around with you?” She said, cool as a cucumber, “Oh, yes,” and then proceeded to tell me some of their names!
Tip #2: Ask your heart for spirituality and business intuition.
Close your eyes and put your right hand over your heart. Breathe in and out slowly, feeling the rhythm of your heart beat. Then quietly ask your heart, “Heart, what do you want right now?” Since your heart processes emotion, NOT thoughts, it will usually respond with a simple, one- or two-word “feeling” answer such as “love,” “forgiveness,” “patience,” “action,” etc. You will probably hear these answers in your head, in your own voice.
Usually my heart answers, “I want peace and joy.” However tonight, while writing this article, my heart gave me the longest answer ever. My heart said, “Baeth, stop pushing yourself. I want you to be kind and gentle to yourself. Take care of yourself and do those things that make you feel pretty and happy.” Pretty and happy? Never got that one before. Wow, I guess I have my homework!
Tip #3: Build your self-esteem.
In her book, Anatomy Of The Spirit, the great energy medicine expert, Caroline Myss wrote, “How we feel about ourselves, whether we respect ourselves, determines the quality of our life, our capacity to succeed in business, relationships, healing, and intuitive skills [emphasis mine]. Self-understanding and acceptance, the bond we form with ourselves, is in many ways the most crucial spiritual challenge we face. In truth, if we do not like ourselves, we will be incapable of making healthy decisions. Instead, we will direct our personal power for decision-making into the hands of someone else. Someone whom we want to impress or someone before whom we think we must weaken ourselves to gain physical security. People who have a low sense of self-esteem attract relationships and occupational situations that reflect and reinforce this weakness.” (This lack of self-esteem is the #1 reason why women entrepreneurs don’t use their intuition.)
Beth, thanks for a great column. While it has taken much of my adult life to realize, I now accept and trust that my ‘gut’ is nealry 100% accurate! It is only after much thought (which is typically filled with emotion!) do I go off track! Keep up the great writing!

Wow, Jim! Please email us at support@handanalyst.com.
We need a newsletter to start going out this summer.
Self-esteem is a tough one. We are supposed to develop our self-esteem from around age 7, and skilled parenting can help a child grow into a strong, sure-footed adult, but for most of us we reach adulthood without that fundamental belief in ourselves that would allow us a much quicker route to our true life path. I am interested to know how we, as adults, can re-program ourselves to develop healthy self-esteem. Any tips?
Hi Baeth
Thank you for offering me a gift, a FREE ticket to your Life Purpose Spiritual Summit.
Last year, my 60th year, I promised myself that in 2009 I would fine tune and deepen my life purpose and significantly contribute to the much needed transformation of the planet. I realise now that I was promising myself that I would become an agent of transcendence.
I am a Scot living in New Zealand. I’ve worked as an ecologist, organic grower, teacher, therapist, career consultant, coach. For the past 5 years I’ve worked with emerging entrepreneurs. Inspiring them to be authentic, follow their passions, become more visible and shine even more brilliantly in their lives.
3 Months ago I bought Sophfronia Scott’s book and your free gift jumped out at me! Since then I’ve joined your Hand Analysis MasterMind and when I heard you talk about the Life Purpose Spiritual summit I said to myself “I will be there!” After that excuses galore surfaced!
A week ago I decided to explore the excuses that were holding me back. I knew I wanted to again be a pioneer and catalyst igniting the inner fire of others and leading them forward. During a session with a therapist we explored leadership and my fears especially those of becoming more visible. What a transformation…what a blessing!
Today I received your email and this offer of a FREE ticket to the summit! Wowee!!
Why do I deserve this gift?
Since hearing you my inner fire has been re-ignited and the sparks from it are yearning to touch the hearts of like minded souls at this spiritual life purpose summit. With them I yearn to create an even bigger fire…one that will be seen and felt throughout the world. One that will serve humankind.
Yes… I am re-energised, eager and committed to moving to the next level – to being at your life changing summit, to making the shift from working in isolation and safety to being a significant player in a global team of spiritually orientated entrepreneurs. I’m excited at the thought of discovering exactly where I am meant to be and how I can be of service and impact the world.
Global transformation is about committing to global connections, at times travelling in person to the other side of the world! Putting aside fears and becoming even more visible! I on behalf of New Zealand, need to connect and bring the spirit of New Zealand to the summit, to align with others who are embracing their true paths in the world.
Thank you, Baeth, for offering this gift.
Blessings, love and abundance
Fiona
PS Even with this FREE ticket I will be paying significantly to fly to Las Vegas…I will be investing in this spirit rich, life changing journey and ensuring that the spark of the summit is kept alight and magnified in the years to come.
Dear Baeth,
I I am poised on the brink of stepping into the most significant shifts I have ever made, all towards living my life purpose. the hand analysis that I had from you brought clarity and confirmation to what I have already been drawn to do, I was quite thankful that i was already aligned to a certain extent.
The Life Purpose Spiritual Summit is an event that will give me a huge kick in the pants to step forward with great speed, as the Universe moves quickly once we are in sync. I KNOW that there are so many people out there who need my help as a catalyst for their growth into women and men filled with passionate energy. I also KNOW that for me to guide them, I have to live it myself first.
One of the biggest points I have to make to each of my prospective clients is that the human body, as a sacred vessel, is uniquely designed to feel pleasure and to revel in delicious sensation. Is is divine order to embrace our bodies and our sexuality and I am here on this earth to be a lantern-bearer for others to step into that space.
I know that learning from you at the LPSS will support me in deepening my own powerful movement forward as a catalyst, a visual and kinesthetic artist of guiding women to being in their luscious sensual power.
there are undoubtedly many people who would love to be at the summit, you can now add ME to your list of women who are here on this planet to make a HUGE difference. Please consider this my application.
Celebrating passionate living,
Liz
Baeth, I feel like the universe is answering my prayers by bringing you into my life. I can completely relate to the story of your past and feel that it’s no accident that I’m finding you NOW.
I’m in my late 20′s and have been SEEKING my life purpose since graduating high school and had the feeling “well, now what?” I’ve been desperate for answers and have been looking in all the wrong places, listening to all the wrong voices.
I’m finally at a place where I’ve learned from my many mistakes; learned from continually choosing the wrong path and I’m finished settling and submitting to fears and outside pressures. Through so much adversity, I’ve really come to know not only my true strengths and weaknesses, but what I am and what I’m not. I know from the core of my being that I am meant to serve and help others; I’ve been thinking that I’m meant to help people improve their lives and live their truth. (I still feel a little weird saying that given that I AM still trying to identify the particular roadmap to fulfilling my own purpose and living my own truth.)
I imagine what it would be like if everyone could be living their purpose and their truth…the kind of world we would be living in. I’m energized by that thought to the point that it keeps me up at night.
I fully believe that what I need is within me now. For me, it’s a matter of confronting my fears and getting CLEAR as to where to focus my energy. I’ve never been more determined to make HUGE changes in my life. I am ready to confront my fears and do the unthinkable to walk the path that was paved specifically for me.
Here’s where it gets kind of crazy! I will be giving birth any day now to my first child (please keep reading). I know, you’re wondering why in the world I would even pursue a spot at the Life Purpose Spiritual Summit in Vegas. Well, when I first heard about it, my gut said “YOU MUST BE THERE,” then the other side of my brain said, “Hello, you’re having a baby a few weeks before the summit. How in the world would you ever make that happen?” Then you sent out the e-mail about the 1 spot you would leave available for the most deserving person. My gut immediately said “THIS IS IT! You have to pursue this or you’ll regret it forever….no matter how crazy it sounds.
I took a huge risk in talking to my husband about it, just knowing he would look at me like a crazy pregnant woman that didn’t know what she was talking about. To my amazement and wonderful surprise, he agreed that I should pursue it and he would come along if selected to care for our newborn. Amazing! This was confirmation to me that enough is enough and there’s no better time than NOW. This is EXACTLY what I’ve been asking for every night when I go to bed and every morning when I wake up to start my day.
I’m meant to be there! I’m leaving it up to the universe (and you) to make it happen!
