Victim Consciousness

I am reminded of how many people including myself have experienced a degree of victim consciousness.
It can be quite easy at times to fall back into it and be at "its" mercy. When we are feeling like a victim it is done to us and we do not have to be responsible for our life and our decisions. It certainly does not empower us and only disempowers.
In our human experience we have all suffered at times and the spiritual journey is to recognise, embrace and accept all of us and to grow as a person and spiritual being. We are here to remember who we truly are!
One of the keys to shifting out of the victim consciousness and move up the scale to a higher level of spiritual growth is to forgive. Forgiveness is a powerful practice and it takes practice to let go, trust, and to let our hearts be healed and opened. It is difficult to move forward from an empowered place when we have not forgiven ourselves or others.
Take the time to contemplate on this and practice forgiveness and know how powerful and amazing you are and we all are!
We are only victims if we THINK we are. It is not who we are. We are all made in the image and likeness of GOD.
Affirmation: I am one with Spirit and I move forward from a loving and forgiving heart, releasing the past and know that I create wonderful things in my life now!
And so it is

simplicity

As I was thinking about my next message and blog, the word SIMPLICITY came to my mind.
It is a powerful word and meaning. Simplicity. What comes to mind when you say that word to yourself?
For me to brings me back to Keep It Simple, simplfy things. It is so easy for us humans to make things so difficult and dramatic. We can sometimes forget the simple things in life.
This is my message to stop and look at ways to simplifly your life.
Maybe it starts with decluttering your home, office, car and mind. Throwing or giving things away that you do not use and no longer serve you. This includes our thoughts as well. Not dwelling on the negative or problem, but focusing on the opportunity, positivity and divine solution.
It might be to just stop for a few minutes a day to be still, breathe and look at the beauty of nature around you.
I would love to  hear the ways you simplify your life.
Till next time
Peace and blessings, Laurie

body/emotion connection

Hi
I have been so facinated with the connection between our body and our emotions most of my life and as an emotional intuitive I have been able to know and sense where people are holding emotions and blockages in their bodies. I have been so blessed to be able to help people to release these and get in touch with what they were feeling so the energy can move.
If you are feeling pain or are not feeling well, give your self permission to be still and start to contemplate and explore the emotional connection.
What is the emotion or feeling in your body?
What is the message it has for you?
What emotions are you holding in your body?

It may start to bring it up to the surface once you bring your focus on it.
It is so important for our health and wellbeing to send loving energy and light into our bodies and to
come into alignment on all levels; emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually.
See my book, Spiritual Medicine for more on this connection.
For example if you are having any kind of chest or lung difficulty, check inside to see if there is any old grief or loss you are feeling or holding onto from the past.
We all have so many things that happen in our lifetime that we need to grieve and let go of.

I offer phone as well as inperson sessions for healing and clearing.

I hope this starts you on your journey and more to come
Peace and blessings, Laurie

women being there for each other

Hi
We had our second womens group today and I am grateful  to know that women can be there
for eachother unconditionally. I did not grow up being supported by my girl friends and never felt like I fit in, but I know now that it is so important for women to listen to each other and really be there as a support system.
We need to talk, share and to be heard.
This "sisterhood" can be a strong foundation for all of us women and make such a difference in all of our lives if we open up to it and to other women.
I never had sisters and now in my 50s feel like I am surrounded by wonderful women who are like sisters to me without all the family stuff that can get in the way.
Thank you to all the women friends in my life for your strength, support and wisdom.
Peace and blessings, Laurie

Journey of life

Hi
I have been thinking today about the journey of life. I spent a good many years about 15-20 being in the public eye. I did countless interviews on TV, radio, spoke in front of all size audiences and traveled to many countries teaching and speaking. I had my own radio show in Sydney and my own cable TV show in California. I appeared on major tv shows in Australia, Canada and the US.
I wrote 2 books, Spiritual Medicine and Blessings of Gratitude and did countless book signings and interviews.
I loved it. It was exciting. It felt good to share information and to help others in a bigger way.
Then one day I woke up and found life had changed. I was exhausted and my body needed a rest. Instead of being out there so much, I needed to come back inside and heal.
I had been on my own for so many years during all of this time and then at 47 I met my soul mate and married him. I look back now over the past 7 years and just after we met, I fell apart literally. I got cancer and my emotional state was so up and down. I had trouble coping with any kind of change. I still ran my Spiritual Centre each week. Not sure how I did that, I had Divine Helpers.

Thank you GOD and thank you to my beautiful husband who was there sometimes to pick up the pieces.

I am so grateful for this journey and for the love and support that is always around me.

I am grateful for the gift of coming back to me. I am grateful to GOD for my life.

I am now ready to step out again and be used by Spirit in whatever way I am meant to now.

AND SO IT IS, AND SO I LET IT BE

I say YES to life and YES to being of service to myself and to others.

Peace and blessings, Laurie

5 steps to let go and flow

Think about what stops the flow in your life?

Here are my 5 steps to let go and flow. When we allow the energy to flow in our lives; we feel good!  
Practice these regularly to feel more alive, healthy and joyful! Pass them on to others.
These come from my book, Spiritual Medicine.
Peace and blessings, Laurie

#1
DO SOMETHING YOU ENJOY. Take time each day to do something you enjoy that makes you happy. Maybe it is to paint or garden or read a book. Only you know what feeds your soul and makes you feel good! The only restriction on time is the one we place in our minds. Give yourself this gift and see the difference it makes.

# 2
MOVE YOUR BODY. Make sure you do some kind of movement every day. It can be walking, yoga, stretching, swimming, dancing etc. Our body
needs to move and stretch. Have fun with it. Exercise with someone or whatever works for you. If you’re sitting watching television, do some stretching or some kind of movement while sitting on the couch.

# 3
BREATHE DEEPLY. Take several deep breaths many times a day. Become more aware of how you breathe and getting more life force energy into your being. Breathe into your belly, move the breath up to your diaphragm, then up to your collarbone and breathe out fully. Breathe in peace, breathe out stress. Breathe in good health and breathe out negativity. Breathe in love and breathe out fear.

# 4
TAKE TIME TO BE. Take time every day to be still and turn within. Come back to you. We are so busy and always doing that our adrenal glands gets very depleted and we can get sick. Make time for you to stop and be still. Go into nature or find a special place to sit for a few minutes every day. Close your eyes and connect back to your self and breathe. Fill your self up with light and love. Send loving energy to every cell in your body. Thank your body for all it does for you. Send loving thoughts and prayers out to all those you love and to the planet.

# 5
EXPRESS HOW YOU ARE FEELING AND GET IT OUT. It is so important to acknowledge how we are feeling and get the emotional energy to move out of the body - especially grief and sadness. It is ok to cry and to be vulnerable. If you are feeling angry or frustrated and cant speak about it, write it out, or exercise it out. Find someone to first acknowledge how you are feeling and then release it. Do not give it any power. We give our emotions a lot of power; especially FEAR and it can sometimes control our life and affect our health and our Spirit.
Be grateful each day for your each part of your body and for all you have in your life.
