Inspired Living Advice Network is handling calls from executives, professionals and academics seeking to integrate spirituality with their career in today's spiritual revival.
(PRWEB) October 11, 2004 -- For the second time in less than 100 years, Merck finds itself losing money and its reputation. Martha Stewart is in federal prison. Enron and WorldCom have gone bankrupt and taken down shareholders.
With the exposure of corporate greed, layoffs and unemployment, disappearance of pensions, and widening of the gap between the rich and the poor, stress has increased greatly among corporate executives, academics and other professionals. To cope, they are turning to spiritual sources, but not what you would think. These days it is not uncommon for an executive vice president to close his door, pick up the telephone, and consult his personal astrologer or spiritual intuitive - known by many as a psychic or clairvoyant.
L. Barrett Powell is the founder of Healing Universe, which runs and advice site called the Inpsired Living Advice Network. Powell says this type of counsel is becoming increasingly commonplace.
"It is not a spiritual trend or fad that will fade away". she says "In fact it will increase greatly over the next decade. J.P. Morgan used astrology to guide him and look at how sucessful he was in life!"
An ordained minister, life/business coach and spiritual intuitive, Powell spend several hours a day working with men and women around the globe who seek advice about situations at work or in their family so they can make decisions.
"Every day I speak confidentially with professionals who are Wall Street CEOs, investment portfolio fund managers, entrepreneurs, presidents and vice presidents, music industry execs, university professors, radio executives, well-known winery owners, homemakers, and parents from around the world". says Powell.
Those global clients come from places such as the USA, Australia, the United Kingdom, Denmark, and Canada.
According to her, clients typically keep their conversations under wraps, not telling their office staff or colleagues. But, she says, they consult her on a regular basis, many times weekly or bi-weekly, to help them gain clarity in a decision-making process or to develop resources to make progress on a project.
"Sometimes, though, they call about a personal issue involving a mate, spouse or child. Parenting is a big issue with many of the clients who come through the Inspired Living Advice Network."
Powell says they are repeat clients because of the accuracy they receive from her and the other intuitives and astrologers at Healing Universe.
She stresses that confidentiality is very important to clients but not just because others might think them crazy for consulting an astrologer. Rather it is spiritual privacy and professional competition that fuel the confidentiality.
"Sometimes I laugh about it with a client, but they tend to be deadly serious about not wanting to give away the secret of their professional edge. Their performance is improved and they are getting bonuses and making great decisions and they want to keep their inside track."
And she adds, "It is also stressed at Healing Universe that the client's belief in God, in the spiritual, in what cannot be seen with the naked eye, is a precious and private thing. A person with faith, who understands vision, can be a powerful force in the business and academic world."
Healing Universe's Inspired Living Advice Network launched September 3 and features experienced intuitives who go by the names of - Oakeru, Shelley, Eve, Nan, Samantha, Jan, Susan, Rachael, and of course Powell herself. They charge $2.99/minute and offer astrology consultations, psychic and Tarot readings and Runes readings.
She adds that there are plans to create a separate website to offer only coaching.
