stillness

I am back. It has been a few weeks since I last wrote something.
Christmas is happening in the US right now and is over in Australia.
I could feel the peace in the air yesterday as Stan and I walked around the lake where we live.
There was a sweetness around and I found myself breathing very deeply to take it all in.
This is a good time to stop and be still as often as we can. To smell the flowers, to be in the moment and feel all that is taking place around us. To just BE.
I remember doing a 10 day silent meditation years ago and after the 5th day, my mind became still. I would sit for hours looking at bees taking the polen from the flowers. I could really taste my food and savored every bite.
I encourage all of us to take more time to do nothing and just be still. To listen to that still small voice within speaking to us. To just breathe.
Love and blessings, Laurie

asking for help and support

It is so important to ask for help and support when we need it. We are not meant to do it all by ourselves.
The universe cannot help us if we do not ask for it.
What stops us from asking for help? feelings of not being good enough or worthy?
If you are someone who finds it very challenging to ask for help, then this is what you are here to master.
Begin today to make it ok for yourself to ask for help.
Work on changing those thoughts and beliefs of not being worthy, to
I AM WORTHY AND IT IS GOOD FOR ME TO ASK FOR HELP

I DESERVE TO BE SUPPORTED AND THE UNIVERSE WANTS TO SUPPORT ME

You will be amazed at how much support is out there if you are just willing to ask and then to recieve it.
Keep affirming how deserving you are and that the universe wants to help you.
Peace and blessings, Laurie

letting go of the year

Hi
This is a great time to do an end of year ritual. Take some time to write or meditate on this past year and all that has taken place.

• What are some of the good things that come into your awareness that happened?
• What are some of the more challenging things?
• What do you want to let go of now? Maybe it is not doing enough good things for you or not taking good care of your body or being afraid ???

What did you learn about your self this year?

• How have you changed and grown?
• What are most proud of yourself for this year?
• What are you most grateful for?

What are you wanting to create now for 2012?

What you think about now and what you focus on now will create what happens in the future.
Where are you putting your focus and energy?
Make sure it is on what you want!!!!

I know for me personally, probably one of the best things was our move to the lake house and living in nature. I love walking around the lake each day and taking my dog for a walk. Life just seems simplier.
I am also grateful for the new people that have joined our spiritual community and for the new musician and singers. I am grateful for all the help I got this year with putting up my talks, our music and whatever else was needed.

Peace and blessings, Laurie
