Hi Ellen – I loved the energy and the information in this post! Your fund of knowledge is so deep – and so infused with your practical wisdom. The hopefulness of your final passage is infectuous – and TRUE! “He is finding a rhythm. When he finds his rhythm, he can keep going and going while expending no wasted effort. And then you realize what is happening. He is dancing!”

Would love to see a picture of the two of pentacles in your post here, Ellen. Have been a student of numbers for many years… (I wonder if that attracted me to poker)

When I look at the number two, I think of partnerships, relationships, the duality of juggling two situations. Your post reminded me to look at how effective I am as an entrepreneur at balancing being the one who runs the business and one who works in business, and where I can be more productive. Thank you.

I’m gratified to hear of your progress! We live in a culture that puts a high value on the intellect, logic, and analytical thinking and rightly so. But it doesn’t teach us to value our intuition. I, too, have trouble with my intellect getting in the way. We just have to keep at it and relax into it. Think of it this way, left-brain or logical thinking analyzes or breaks things down, while right-brain thinking–intuition–works by synthesizing information.

I am using your course Ellen, the free email one, to learn more about my intuition. It seems to have been repressed! I am sticking with your suggestions and following the plan daily.
