Today's Thought (Diane Brandon)

Diane Brandon Intuitive-Radio Host-Corporate Advisor

---

Diane didn't set out to become an expert on intuition. Born and raised in New Orleans, she pursued theatre and singing. Not your typical performer, however, Diane has an undergraduate degree from Duke and is a member of Mensa.  As Diane pursued theatre, she also worked as a corporate manager, bilingual executive secretary and translator, and business owner. Then in 1992, in order to supplement her income from performing, Diane developed her intuition and started working with clients. And the rest, as they say, "is history." Her performing work faded into the wings, and her personal growth facilitation and intuitive work increasingly took center stage. A natural teacher, she went beyond the one-on-one private work and also began writing articles, speaking to groups, and teaching workshops on intuition and related topics.

Ever the inquiring mind, she has always wanted to understand the deeper meaning and inner workings of things. (A teacher once wrote about her, "One day Diane will solve the mystery of how the world began.") True to form, Diane was compelled to begin studying intuition as a phenomenon and determine how it fit into our normal views of consciousness. Her strong academic background, including advanced and gifted courses from the age of 13, led her to research intuition in a rational way. The result of this ongoing quest has been a deeper understanding of intuition, its inner workings, how it presents itself, and how to develop it. Diane is convinced that developing and using intuition represents a road toward becoming more whole-brain and developing more of our mental potential.

Diane also has a thriving Internet-Radio show on Voice America Health & Wellness.

Here are some proposed questions for Diane:

1. Diane, you started out so to speak in entertainment, and you provided corporate management, yet at a point you wanted to supplement your income with additional work. Why did you choose intuition as a skill to hone to serve this objective?

2. Does this mean you were not intuitive before hand or that you knew you were, but felt it would be a good thing to intentionally become self-confident in the ability?

3. And your work gradually extended beyond the one-on-one private interaction and, while you began writing articles, speaking to groups, and teaching workshops on intuition and related topics. Who nudged you on to do more....your clients?

4. Diane, for you the result of this ongoing quest has been a deeper understanding of intuition, its inner workings, how it presents itself, and how to develop it. Consequently, you are convinced that developing and using intuition represents a road toward becoming more whole-brain and developing more of our mental potential. How did you consider spirituality in the grand scheme of things?

5. You are very interested in de-mystifying and removing superstition from intuition by presenting the ability as skill with practical uses. How do you show people that intuition is being used all the time even when it is not recognized as such?

6. We all have mental blocks that interfere with our interpretation of intuitive information. How do you get people to address mental filters, so that the information flows and that we do not alter its interpretation through fear of the unknown?

7. You speak of intuition in terms of maximizing insight and visioning. How would do define each term?

8. There is a fine line between imagination and fantasy and intuition with real future possibilites. Should we separate each as a process and if not how are they used together?

9. How can intuition be used objectively to make clear decisions and what do you mean when you use the adjective clear?

10. With regard to intuition you suggest that being intuitive is using more of the whole brain. Exactly what part of the brain does intuition pertain to and how do we harmonize the intent of using intuition and applying some basic logic to it?

11. You have a book called Invisible Blue prints, which discusses intuition for a life fulfilled. What are blue prints and why acknowledge them while on the earth plane?

Vs. expeie

12. You have another wonderful book, Measuring Emotional Intelligence. What is emotional intelligence as a opposed to standard intelligence, and how does intuition access it?

13. Regarding you book Speaking Out, you suggest that personal development is a theme becoming ever popular, such that intuition is considered integral to personal development. Can one become more intuitive without being self-honest?

14. You also have a radio show, ‘Vibrant Living' how did that come about and what do accomplish in this medium? You are also doing webinars....

15. What group and speaking interactions are you focusing on at the moment?

16. Are you fulfilling your higher purpose role?

17. Now for our visionary closing thoughts....Dianne: Rita, please share with the audience a bit of wisdom, some measure that was useful in helping you find your path and stay on your path benefiting the world?
