Blessings for Cancer and other illnesses

Hi and blessings to you
I wanted to share one of the blessings from my book, Blessings of Gratitude.
After I went through my experience with thryoid cancer I wrote this book and all the blessings came through in the most beautiful way.
I found that all the prayers and blessings I did personally and got from so many people globally really helped me to recover quicker and to come back to inner peace and balance.
One of the blessings I want to share is dedicated to all those personally and all those that we know
going through cancer and other illnesses.
My love and light goes out to each and every person on this healing journey. Please pass this on to someone you know who may be going through the journey with cancer....

Here is my blessing for cancer
"How would your life be different if you could bless your cancer and be willing to see it as a blessing, whether you are healed or not? This can be quite challenging I know, especially whnen we are first diagnosed. So many people are experiencing alot of pain and fear associated with  having cancer. I know that I did.
What if you could see this as an opportunity to embrace your fears, ask for support and getr more in touch with your faith and inner strength?
It was quite a shock to me when I was told I had cancer and I had a hard time at first recognising all the ways it was a blessing in my life. Some the blessings I experienced included an opportunity to slow down, let people be there for me and receive more love.
For many it can be a time of receiving love and nurturing from others. If you are someone who has always been the care giver and  have had a time time asking for help and letting your self receive, now is your chance to practice. People who care about you do want to be there to unconditionally love and support you."

The blessing:
I bless my cancer and send loving thoughts and energy into every cell of my body. I release and let go of my emotional burderns, fear, guilt, resentment and negativity that I may have repressed.
I am grateful for this opportunity to surrender to Divine Spirit for love, healing and letting go of my need to control. I deserve to be loved and to get the help I need. I am open and grateful for it all now. I allow my mind and body to be  healed  and I thank God for al lthe grace and love that surrrounds me."

Peace and blessings, Laurie

setting up a healing altar in your home or office

Hi and Blessings to you,
Have you ever set up an Altar?
What is the purpose of having an altar?
I find personally for me it helps to create such a beautiful spiritual energy wherever I am. I have one at home and at my healing centre.
What types of things do you put on an altar?
You can put anything that is symbolic for you and makes you feel good. You can change it, add to it, do whatever makes your heart and soul sing.
It is so healing and spiritually uplifting to set up an altar in your home or office that has meaning for you. It can really change the energy in your home by making it more spiritual and peaceful.
My altar has photos, crystals, candles, buddha, flower and more. You can put special shells, pictures of loved ones, any spiritual or religious symbol etc.
Give it a go and follow your intution and what feels good for you. Remember there is no one way to create an altar.
If you have children and want them to also add to it so it becomes a family altar.
I would love to hear from you and find out what you created.
Peace and blessings, Laurie

taking it personally

Hi and blessings
I want to talk about how we can get affected by others and take what people say personally.
Wow, this is such a topic for discussion and truly something I have personally looked at and consciously worked on for years. As someone who is highly intuitive and an energy worker; I have experienced in my life being affected by what others have said to me and their actions. It is a constant reminder to keep coming back to my own heart and center and sending more love out as well as loving myself.
I know that for me through my life if my self esteem was not strong and I was not feeling that inner power within I would react more to others and get affected by what was said or by someone's else energy.

I would love to hear your experiences on this and what you do to not be affected by others.

A wonderful affirmation to use is:
I stand in my own power and light and respond from a loving and forgiving heart
And So It Is

Peace and blessings, Laurie

planting in the garden

Hi and happy day to you
It is such a beautiful and sunny day today. I feel so grateful for nature and creation all around me.
It is winter here and a time to plant and put things in plan to grow and nurture.
We have a good size veggie and herb garden and today I decided to go and buy 10 more vegetables and herbs to grow.
 It felt so good to get my hands in the soil and to loveingly plant, water and then delight in watching them grow. It is really a metaphor for life. Plants wont grow any faster just because we want them to. As things do not happen at a faster pace just because we want them to.
We must water, nurture and take care of our seed and plants and when they are ready they just are!
So any time you feel like you need to ground yourself and feel more connected to the earth, put your hands in the soil and plant something or just pull weeds.
Always more weeds to pull out, just like the negative thoughts that pop up; we can choose to give them power or to plant a new thought.

Affirmation: I am grateful and know that all is unfolding in my life at the perfect time and way.
It is all good. I am planting the seeds for positive change and they are growing in a most miraculous way!

Peace and blessings, Laurie

dont take life for granted - enjoy whatever you are doing

Hi and blessings
I just came home from a funeral of a client of mine who was in her mid 40's.
As I stood in the back of the chapel I was reminded of just how sacred and precious life is.
It also struck me that if Ros did not know how loved she was while she was alive she certainly knows now.
The chapel was over flowing with people who came to celebrate her life and who loved her.
How many of us never know till we die that we are loved and adored?
As the saying goes, there is no time like the present to know how loved you are and that you make a difference just by being YOU.
It was also a reminder today that you only live fully and love fully when you live in the present.
We are not living fully when we live in the past or dwell too much in the future. Life is right now!
Grab it, make the most of it, let people you love know how you feel, be brave, be bold, take risks, dare to be more!!!!
The last song they played at the funeral was "Don't Worry Be Happy". I just smiled and thought how perfect...We can still grief, but also be happy to be alive and happy for LIFE and the wonderful opportunities to cry, laugh, and be REAL.
Love and blessings, Laurie

We are what we eat

hi and welcome to my latest blog
We are what we eat!!!!
I love this statement. It is so true and sometimes a bit dawnting to think that food and health and food and illness is so linked
What have you had to eat today?
Keep track each day for one week of what you eat and you may be surprised
Eating can be such an unconscious act.
Do not eat when you are angry or upset...The food cannot digest properly
It is so important to be conscious and aware of what we eat and choose the food that is the most alive and healthy for our bodys. Our body is our temple.
Check in and see how you feel after you eat.
Does your energy go down after a meal or do you feel more alive?
Everything is energy. There are so many fruits and vegetables at the markets that do not have much life force left. Choose to buy and eat veggies and fruit and food that has life force and energy to do so you can have happier and healthier cells.
Bless everything that you eat while your cooking and before you take the first bite.

Affirm: In this moment I am aware of what I choose to eat and put in my body.
My body is my temple.
I bless each and everything I make and eat.

Would love to hear from you

Peace and blessings, Laurie

It is not about the other person

Hi and blessings
I want to talk about a spiritual principle and truth that is sometimes hard for the ego to hear.
It is easy to blame another or make it about someone else but the truth is we always need to look back at ourselves. People in our lives are here as mirrors for us to help us grow and become more of who we are.
So if there is someone in your life who you find challenging, see if you can look at them with a new perspective and a feeling of gratefulness.

What are they here to teach you?

My husband Stan is my best mirror and teacher. It is easy to sometimes think what if I was with someone else or in a job that was easier or fill in the blank, but the truth is we would just create a similar situation if we have not yet learned what we need to learn.
I am grateful for my marriage and for the person I am becoming as well as for the opportunity to keep on looking back at me and seeing what internal healing needs to be done and how to love myself more.

Every thing that happens is an opportunity to release judgement, love ourselves more and open our heart!

Peace and blessings, Laurie

life purpose

Hi and welcome to my blog
I have always loved sharing healing ideas and practical tools with others
You might say this has been an ongoing passion of mine for over 25 years.
Both of my published books have come out of all that I have taught and shared with my clients and students over the years. It is such a joy for me when someone shares with me how my books or teachings have helped them in their life. This is truly a life purpose for me, something that makes me happy and always motivates and propells me forward.
I know we all have so much to share and learn from one another. You can hear the same thing told over and over again and all it takes is the right moment where it sinks in even deeper and there is a shift.

This is always a wonderful question to contemplate - 

What is my life and soul purpose?

What am I here for?

I have worked with so many people who have shared with me that they wanted to know what they were here for. This is an internal question, the answers lie within each of us.
I love asking the whole of me; meaning my body, mind and soul the question of what am I here for and just be open to sit in the stillness knowing that we will come into alignment with that truth. Some part of us already knows it, we just need to be still and be patient and to remember....

I believe that what we are here for is directly connected to what we love and what we feel passionate about.
It might be taking care of animals, or children or planting a garden and connecting to mother earth or being of service to another or making someone smile etc.

Our life purpose does not have to be something huge, like Oprahs, it can be something as simple as we are hear to remember who we are and to share love....

I would love to hear what you are here for?
What is your Soul's Purpose?

A good affirmation to use for this is: I am open to know what my life purpose is and to share it with others

Peace and blessings, Laurie

we are never alone and we are always getting the support we need

Hi and blessings to you
I want to talk about this idea and spiritual truth that we are never alone and always supported and loved
This may sound a bit strange and hard to believe at times we feel separate or cut off from others and from SPIRIT
No matter what is happening in your life, breathe in and affirm "I am surrounded by love and support from the Universe always".
You are never alone. All you need to do is start believing that and you will experience it for your self in the most wonderful ways.
Go out in nature today and be still and let yourself feel the sacred and beauty all around you. Take it in, connect with it. We are one with everything....
All we need to do is start to practice taking that in and acknowledging it.
Peace and blessings, Laurie
