Lessons of Clearing

Categories: Esoteric, Lifestyle, Productivity

{**** … Taking a moment to look back on the last 2 years’ of my life … as I get down to the bones of the Big-Clearing-The-Garage – Project of the Decade. Some Real Thoughts from the trenches of the Clearing … ****}

This particular “clearing” has been a true clearing – of stuff, memories, possessions, attachments etc. – and through this Ceremony of Clearing, I have really learned the following Agreements: **

Agreement #1:

** The Agreement of Responsibility For Physical Reality

( the agreement of reverent simplicity )

** Figure out where Your Stuff belongs – and if it doesn’t “belong” in your heart, then figure out why You are still looking after It. **

(( You see, Your ‘stuff’ is a metaphor for You – for everything that represents a part of your soul’s make-up. Understand this fully and you’ll “get” exactly what the foundation of any Feng Shui / Vastu / Zen / Sacred Body Language teaching has ever, ever tried to express to you. Immerse in this teaching fully – it is why you have chosen a physical embodiment in this lifetime. We promise this is true, and you honestly can see that it is true, too – after all, if you hadn’t agreed to this reality this time around, you wouldn’t be here! …So perhaps your Higher Self’s biggest suggestion to your Mundane Self is to Be Fully Here, and take full Responsibility for your physical reality… )) .

… And that leads us straight to Agreement #2:

The Agreement of the CoCreators’ Alchemical Play

( the agreement of attraction alchemy )

** ( – Embody your highest expression of your understanding of this teaching’s Ethic – and you will begin to appreciate how it works as your Real Magic:) ***

looking after and taking an active role in

shaping your body energy,

shaping your physical body,

what you put into your mind,

what you nourish your organism with,

what you dress your body with,

how you adorn yourself,

where you live,

what home you choose,

what you fill your home with,

what you grow in your garden,

those words you choose to share with others,

indeed,

That Which You Pay Attention To and That Which You Turn Away From – all of these are your Magic Wands that allow you to shape and manifest your reality.

In your choice of these elements you choose your life DNA.

In this understanding you will also learn to understand Alchemy and become a master of this alchemy of attraction **

*** – and finally, one more for the morning:

** Agreement #3 **

The Agreement of Relating to Past, Present, Alternate, Parallel, Cyclical and Future Time Dimensions:

( the agreement of grace and gratitude )

** You have also agreed to experience linear dimensions of time while you are on Earth. Therefore, respect All Times. You would not force a flower to bloom before its readiness in the linear dimensions – to attempt to control linear OR cyclical time dimensions is to dismiss and dishonor Nature herself, which is a Bad Idea. Accept that the flow of your linear life will ripen when Nature deems fit. Be patient with Time. HOWEVER, the flip side of this coin this that you must also show Respect for When Nature has shown you that you have a Readiness available to you. When Nature gives you a Window/Wave, you show your Gratitude by doing your level best to Surf That Wave – - and that includes Jumping On, Balancing AND Gracefully Closing the “windows of your life experiences”. **

– these Agreements will help you find joy – assist you in rediscovering the path of your soul – befriend your spirit during the ride. – and all of these rules were learned in a deeper way during the Great Clearing of The Garage, 2013.

Recovering Enablers – The 8 Signs of Embattlement (and the Four Solution Steps)

Categories: Esoteric, Lifestyle, random Laura stuff

**Why enablers are such helpful, supportive people – the ugly reality**

(written by a consciously recovering but sometimes flailing enabler who is hopefully on the mend and not so bad at this stuff as she previously was, but who the hell really knows… at least she’s honest to the bone about it all….)

Sometimes I do so much for others because I am anxious -

-anxious that if I do not lead, the world will fall apart into a sort of nihilistic chaos.

For us, the recovering enablers, we have an internal war raging. A war with the best of ourselves. A war with that part of us that is motivated to help, inspire, and lift others up.

Embattlement Sign #1:

We WANT to help – and often help more than we should -

and when we recognize that perhaps we are beginning to enable with our “helping”, we get scared.

- Because what if we stopped?

If the enabler stops her helping, what happens then?

Embattlement Sign #2: ( an implicit realization)

Her deepest fear is that NOTHING will happen – NOTHING will change -

BECAUSE SHE TRUSTS NOBODY. ( yup – this is sign #3).

In this way, every time I ‘help”, I have to be careful that I am not in fact reinforcing a deeply held, guarded and secret falsehood – the assumption that, in this world, I can in fact trust nobody to step up and take command for themselves in a big enough way to make everything good and right.

I trust nobody.

And I’d rather not look at that, because that is the scariest thing – to admit that you believe that you live in a world where you can’t trust anything.

From “I do not trust anything or anybody” comes a barrage of other inferences that are all perceived as ‘true’ by the recovering enabler: amongst them are such myths as “I will never be able to truly relax with anybody – I can’t ever feel safe. If I allow myself to feel safe, something terrible will happen. I MUST keep my guard up.” (Embattlement signs 4, 5, 6 and 7).

- and because this is actually the myth that we enablers tell ourselves unconsciously all the time, guess what we are continually presented with?

Yup – situations that reinforce that idea that we can, in fact, never feel safe. (Embattlement Sign 8 is the outward reality that the enabler creates for herself – a self-fulfilling prophecy to ensure that she is “right” – she really CAN never feel safe.)

- Like many other self perpetuating personal mythologies, the Enabler’s is a cycle of mistrust that, simply, needs to be broken.
But that is much easier said than done.

How does one ever feel safe enough to quit enabling? How does one feel safe enough and trusting enough to simply STOP?

For me, I have found that “you are safe.” is a good first affirmation. ( Solution Step numero uno).
I have found that taking constructive criticism is something I would like to get better at – but it’s hard when I feel that everything that comes my way is probably something to defend against rather than something to welcome as helpful and supportive. I need to constantly reaffirm to myself that the world is a helpful, supportive place – I need to learn to ALLOW. “You are safe” paves the way for this.

- to allow the universe to help me. To allow space for my vulnerability – so that there is a tiny chance that maybe – just maybe – someone can see through my armor enough to stand before me and show me what true strength looks like. (This is solution step #2. )

I want to witness strength. I want to know what support feels like. I want to be calmed.

I want to learn to trust. To relax. To fall back into the arms of the universe without looking back once to ensure a soft landing if the universe doesn’t catch me.

The enabler’s deepest desire, usually hidden by layers and layers of frenetic, defensive “helping”, “activity” and even “productivity” – is to be stopped. To be held until she relinquishes her armor – through her bullshit “I’m okay”s – Until she lets go. Until her adrenals basically cry open so that she has no choice but to feel the support that surrounds her. Her ears want nothing more than to hear “sssshhhh… shh… ssshhhhhh…” and to be rocked until her nervous system can let down its guard. She craves the envelopment – the cocooning – of her body in a calming strength that she can learn to trust.

- This, of course, is sometimes possible and often not entirely available – so solution step #3 becomes, simply, to seek and receive as much physical contact – deep, lovely HUGS and HOLDING – from others as is humanly possible.

Her energy will usually repel any invitations to receive this experience in a deep way, as she truly believes that the experience of comfort, calm, strength and trust does not actually exist. She has been programmed to defend in a very thorough manner that requires patience and persistence to break through. But she truly wants nothing as much as to be shown that it is indeed safe to relinquish her armor.

I cannot stress how deep this defense mechanism could run for a lot of enablers. My family often tells me the story of my independent younger self – the story of the little girl who would walk her way down the pavement, probably around age 1-3 yrs old, and refuse to hold hands with anybody – affirming and demonstrating “I hold mine own hand – look!” – and holding hands instead with myself – the one person I felt I could trust.

So – solution step #4 has simply become this: Seek Connection. To override the powerful programming of inherent aloneness, the enabler MUST stay connected to her community. She often thinks she is doing this by becoming “involved,” but that can backfire if her involvement essentially boils down to simply helping and giving too much – which lands her right back at square 1 again. Instead, she must learn to connect simply for the joy of the connection. The more windows-to-the-soul she can peer into the better, as eye contact is the most powerful override mechanism we have to destroy loneliness and depression. She will often avoid eye contact for more than a split second as she does not believe that other people are really ‘there’ at all, and is scared that she will again be reminded of her loneliness if she attempts to connect. For this reason she can seem tense or “shifty.”

All of this seems like a lot, doesn’t it? The care, keeping and rehabilitation of a recovering enabler is a tall order. That’s for sure. But I promise you this: if you find an enabler who is actually CONSCIOUS that she needs to work her way through some of this, and she’s motivated to try, you could be in the very fortuitous position of developing one of the most powerfully rewarding interpersonal relationships that is possible. Because the enabler has essentially been starved for connection, touch, honesty, vulnerability, trust, safety and a positive way to help others grow, when she finally figures out how to receive all of those things, she becomes a master at them with a very clear preference to prioritize those gifts in her life – essentially because she denied herself those gifts for the longest time, she will now feast upon them in the most wholehearted, appreciative and conscious way that she can. And a person who has grown into a being that full of gratitude and love can light up your world – give YOUR world meaning beyond your wildest hopes – and serve as the most loving mirror of your soul you have ever known.

Be patient with the consciously recovering enablers in your life – it WILL be worth it.

Thanks for reading.

Asking the Right Questions

Categories: Esoteric, Global Issues, Lifestyle, Marketing

We’ve all been barraged with political parties, news pundits and marketers arguing over the answers recently, right? The answers to the “fiscal cliff” – the answers to our collective bottom lines.

But we’re also all pretty aware, right now, that something is missing from this conversation – something feels “off” – or “wrong” -

- and I’m going to hesitate a guess as to why you are feeling that something is “off”-

I think it’s because, deep down in your gut, in your heart of hearts, some deep well of intuitive wisdom – which is smarter, more accurate, more brilliant and more efficiently discerning for you than ANYTHING your brain or extrinsic information can EVER provide you with – is telling you that all the stuff we are collectively fighting with is, somehow, NO LONGER IMPORTANT.to thine own self be true

After all, we all know that the things that make our lives meaningful are very very difficult to measure. YES – money is needed to provide you with comfort and security – but beyond that? You’re looking for meaning. You’re looking for purpose. You’re looking for that magic that gives you complete satisfaction in the knowing that you have shown up for this amazing dance called life for a damn good reason.

How do we begin to have a conversation about THAT? How do we rewire our brains to begin even LOOKING at what that intangible measure of meaningful existence can even be seen as? And without doing that long, hard look into the very core of our reason for existence, how can we ever hope to chart a course to get us ‘there’, to that point in our evolution as individuals and as societies?

These are not only questions that are good to ask yourself – they are questions that you need to grapple with as an entrepreneur in the most earnest way that you can. WHY?? Because, I wholeheartedly believe, doing business in the 21st century no longer revolves around providing customers with objects. We no longer live in the world of atoms exclusively, as Chris Anderson points out in Free – we live in the world of BITS – bits of information where our prospects are evolving. They aren’t looking for STUFF anymore, in other words. They – like us – are evolving. They – like us – seek MEANING. To truly embrace the full knowledge of ONENESS in life is also to recognize that you ARE your ideal customer – they are your mirror. They are seeking what you are seeking.

Here is a collection of videos for you that have been some of the most inspiring presentations to me as I ponder these questions – videos that have helped me begin to ask the RIGHT questions. Enjoy.

FIRST UP: this vid is Chip Conley talking about Maslow, the King of Bhutan and how they have helped him begin to measure something other than the economic profit of his company as the true measure of its success. If you’ve been waiting for a CEO to DISAGREE with Einstein, check this out.

 

- NOW here’s a 7 minute talk that was cool for me to watch because it so clearly reaffirms that humans are amazing, creative, hopeful, inspiring creatures. I love the bit in the middle where he talks about heroism -

 

- the more I thought about re-engineering my thinking life to become a quest for the right questions rather than the right answers – and the more it became obvious that I wanted to find a metric to measure that showed how engaged and happy my customers, friends, community, family and myself could be with life, it started to occur to me that MOST of us need to re-learn how to engage WITH EACH OTHER!

This fundamental skill was a huge loss in our communities – we have, somehow, become narcissistic. We have been told to focus on where we are eating more than how we live together – Our social media has given us megaphones – and here we are seeing who can shout louder. It’s no way to build community – or belonging.

Then I found this next talk – Marc Pachter talking about the Art of the Interview – and something clicked. You see, I believe that we need to shine a light on each other – to show one another that someone is listening – that someone cares – that someone can empathize. In listening to this great interviewer talk, more than a few lightbulbs about how we should be trating each other in this time of evolving purpose- in this time where we are each feeling a compulsion to live in a deeply meaningful way – went on. For here was a man who had spent a great deal of his life helping people articulate and talk about that which was, after all, most meaningful to them when they looked back on their lives. In this talk, at one point he says

” Everybody in their lives is really waiting for people to ask them questions, so that they can be truthful about who they are and how they became what they are.”

- and I hope, if you take the time to listen to this last, very special talk in my post, that it will inspire in you something about the nature of our truth – and our becoming our heroic, natural, purposeful, satisfying selves – that allows you to see how it includes EVERYONE ELSE, too – whether you take this message to heart for how to relate to those closest to you, your readers, your customers, your children or your parents – pay attention. There is something here for you which will uncover a true treasure in how you relate to the world around you.

 

– thanks for reading and watching, everyone. You’re awesome.

What Remains : An Essay on Finding Your Purpose in a Deeper Way.

Categories: Esoteric, Lifestyle, Marketing, Productivity, Tags:

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

Last month, I stuffed the equivalent of a huge, painful, blunt tranquilizer needle into what felt like meth addict of a business.  The month before that, I had put another business on hold, and done a ton of very cathartic, very real, very brusque truth-out-ing along with the clapping-in-irons of the poor business. – Both of these muted, drugged businesses of mine aren’t exactly dead, but I’d certainly say they are currently in a dormant period of hibernation. Praise be to Jesus, for Christ-sakes. Maybe they will rebirth and maybe they won’t – but here’s what I realized: I’m not the only one killing off stuff that just “doesn’t feel right” or “doesn’t feel like its the right time” at the moment, am I?

Nope.

In fact, I’m willing to bet that if you’re reading this article, it’s more than likely because something about this issue – laying to rest all the stuff that just isn’t “on” for you, trying to make space to rediscover your purpose, find inspiration that feels congruent enough that you can feel confident in laying a new direction out for yourself – something about this is what YOU are going through at the moment, too.

Terrifying, isn’t it?

I know. As staunch as my resistance is to doing anything that feels pointless, beneath me, not inspiring enough for me, etc etc, it’s maddening.

I mean, hell – here I am, sitting on my couch, typing away, eating Godiva chocolate caramels that were supposed to go in my kids’ Christmas stockings with a really interesting month behind me. I pulled back – but oh. my. god. That was excruciatingly hard.

What did pulling back from my businesses do for me? Wellllllllll- it allowed me space. Space to create and dream up what was REALLY supposed to be happening – how to REALLY live into my purpose in a bigger way.

Uno Problemo:

before all of that could happen, it was like my psyche turned into Frank Costanza at Festivus, yelling “and now for the airing of the grievances!” – and all hell broke loose in the ground control of my self esteem center. The babble has gone something like this:

” oh my god you’re being lazy.” …. “What’s the point of doing that?”… “I’ll never have energy to do anything ever again…” … “i’m too bloody emotionally fragile to handle anything or anybody…” ” nothing inspires me… nothing…” “what the hell am I waiting for?” “…I don’t think I have a life purpose. I don’t think it exists.” “I don’t think I exist, actually.” ” my kids hate me. ” “My life is a waste of bloody space.”

- ummmmm….yeah. as you can tell, not “staying busy” is a little – ahem – er, difficult for someone like me.

Up until this month, my idea of hell was lying in bed until 10am, watching three movies a day, taking an indulgent 20 minute shower, allowing myself time to blow dry my hair, and – gasp! – taking a day off. Pure hell. I avoided “taking time for myself” at all costs – because I KNEW that if I took time for myself, I would have to face my monsters. The monsters that tell me crap like all that italicized mental BS you see here on the screen.

But here’s the thing: stopping everything was the best thing I could have done – even with all the mental anguish it generated once I stopped. Here’s why:

All that crud came out like I needed to throw it up – get it OUT of my system like the toxic idiocy that it was – so that it could no longer poison my purpose. Facing it, moving through it, and getting rid of it was the most powerful action I could have taken to help me clearly define who I was, and what i was after, with my life purpose. In fact, facing all that stuff looks very much like coming face to face with your fears, doesn’t it?

Anyone else out there a Sci-Fi geek? Well, there’ s this little passage from Frank Herbert’s Dune that, honestly, if you think you will experience facing anything like what I did if you simply stopped all the stuff you knew you were doing that was a distracting, pointless hamster wheel of exhausting bs in your life, I would highly recommend writing on a large index card and taping to your forehead. the Litany Against Fear – belonging to Herbert’s Bene Gesseret, says it all:

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

So then – you’re through it. After facing it all, and stopping everything, you are through it. And only YOU remain.

And this, my friends, is a good place to be. A most excellent place to find yourself. Because right around the corner, after all of that, you should find your purpose, right?

It’ll hit you over the head, the clouds will open whilst choruses of angels herald the grand revelation – along with fireworks and clay tablets and motherships and aurora borealis and hosts of meaningful directives cascading into your auric field and out your fingertips as you levitate and become – once and for all – assured that you have indeed discovered your life purpose.

Right?

No?

Oh.

What if you spend a Healing Retreat in Sedona?

What if you give your all in a Sweat Lodge Ceremony?

What if you dance with shamans and visit the spirit world aided by Ayuhuasca?

What if you stand on your head for a day?

What if you do 108 Sun Salutations culminating at midnight on the 21st of December?

What if you do anything with the intention of being handed your purpose on a platter?

Sorry – all of those experiences are wonderful, revealing and very handy….. but….

ultimately,

this is YOUR dance.

this is your journey.

you have the map – nobody else. No substance, experience, person, action or intention alone can bring you to your purpose. No grand parade is being arranged for you to uniquely show you how you are special.

For better or for worse, you are in charge of that. And if you expect anybody or anything to take the onus of YOUR life purpose – of telling you what to do in a flash of brilliant, enlightened bestowing – you are insulting not only them but also yourself, in the most complete, utter, and debilitating way you could possible insult yourself. Because as far as your purpose is concerned, you are the dancer – you are the creator – you are the curator, the commander, the nurturer and the janitor. It’s all you.

And here is the part where a lot of us run into trouble – when we realize that no brilliant flash of insight is going to bestowed upon us, the really nerve-wracking part of our life navigation begins – because, we realize, WE are going to have to either CHOOSE a direction or suffer along in a mildly anxiety-provoking state of inertia and stagnation.

But to choose – to extinguish that paralysis of infinite possibility, decide upon a direction and begin putting one foot in front of the other – isn’t that risky? Especially if you aren’t “sure” that it is 100 percent the “right” path?

ummm- yes. It is. It is decidedly risky stuff. But you know what? If you know, logically, that nobody is going to hit you upside the head and TELL you unequivocally what your purpose here is, and you know that uncertainty, internally, is the state that you have found yourself in for a looooong time if you are really honest with yourself, then what gives? You KNOW that you are going to have to point yourself in some direction, utter an internal “what the hell…” and go for it. You know that. Stop kidding yourself.

Want some good news? ( is this getting uncomfortable to read?) Ok. Here’s some good news.

The ultimate secret to life mastery – to becoming more and more ON purpose as your life continues…. is this: DO something. Do anything! Think about it: if you sit in inertia, wondering when inspiration will strike, wondering when you will miraculously gain the energy to act in an ordered, intelligent, energetic and inspired manner, you have already lost your power. You are already stagnating. On the other hand, if you do something – ANYTHING at all, you will be going somewhere. You will also, finally, be gaining a trememdous amount of feedback. And when you have actual feedback happening, you have MORE INFORMATION. It is easier to adjust your course once you are in motion than it is to begin to move in the first place. We know this. So – do something! Do anything! Really – it’s ok. The world will not end if you make a few mistakes, either – the world will be just fine. The worst that can happen, ultimately, if you make a mistake, is that your pride might get a bit bruised. That’s it.

And guess what? The really cool thing is that, when you get in the HABIT of making decisions rather than waiting around for inspiration, you will actually find it easier to make more decisions. And take more action. You will get braver. you will gain confidence. you will, if you get REALLY good at making a ton of decisions and staying in motion, become masterful at it over time. You will become a leader. You will feel more empowered and more in command of your life. And guess what? When you become more empowered, more in command and more masterful… when you begin to lead with this energy in a strong, authentic way, you are almost BOUND to begin stumbling – almost accidentally at first – upon your life purposes.

And yes- you read that correctly. I said purposes. Plural. You are human. you are a beautiful, complex, 360 degrees human being who is going to be here for a while – to think that you only have one purpose on this little blue planet of ours is ludicrous. Your heart will be beating through many, many seasons here with us – and at different times of your life you might feel like completely different people! this is normal. Anyone who insists that you have only one purpose in life, as far as I am concerned, probably spent way too much time in a high school career adviser’s office. We don’t live in the world of “what do you want to be when you grow up?” anymore. Rather, the new question is ( and has been for some time now ) “what do you want to light up in the world FIRST?”

What do you want to light up first?

That’s all you need to do – decide that and get busy doing it. Begin.

And quick about it. It’s time.

The Priestess Longs for the Alchemist, Despite Herself.

Categories: Esoteric, Poems

Magician – sullied and scorned.
stifled – “I can’t”- s
    emanating from pained, bottled magic that was never not His.
He thinks he needs to Save Up to buy it back from himself.
How do I lift his veil?

These men – confusedly attempting to forget to locate
their sorrow – anguish –
carnivorous to their hearts.
Petrified of entering the hollow-ness
incase the sides are too slippery
the water too fast encroaching
they run. work. run, function. be of Use.

the answer, for the man of dream and earth and sky –
    is a river
    that he can swim in as he becomes it

the return
into out of time

Prometheus
-so punished
-for desiring to witness
the magic fire
erupt
 in the bellies of these Men
these unwitting masters of magic
they forget they know.

and I
just want
nothing more
than to complete the spherical wholeness
possible
when he
is awake, and unafraid of claiming me.
clamoring to lift my veil.

into out of time.

Reclaiming the Vastness of Humanity’s Potential – just in time.

Categories: Esoteric, The Stanzas

At this time, it is NECESSARY – NEEDED-  for you  to spend as much time in ceremony as is humanly possible- you cannot overdo it.

What ceremony?

You already know. The details do not matter. Create new ones every day if you must. Ceremonies to illuminate your  Highest Vibration.  Be with others, and in flow. Do not jar your ceremonies with unnecessary “should”- ness. Just be in it.

As long as you AUTHENTICALLY stretch yourself to enter a deep congruence with your highest, broadest, most free, enlivened aspirations, this is all that matters.  Reconnect FULLY with your highest dreams – and live there vibrationally until ALL that holds your frequency back has no choice but to break and retreat. You are thousands of times stronger than ALL that holds you back. You are God Electric. You must absolutely sustain the strongest vibration with your highest dreams at this time. What nourishes you? What nourishes your heart and lightens and inspires those you love? this is it. Claim your love of the people you treasure and live into this fully.

We are pivoting – on the verge of entering a new spiral of time. That is all this is – it has happened millions of times and is nothing to worry about – simply FOCUS on this as fully and as expansively as you can. Just as you reassure every expectant mother that billions of women before her have successfully birthed a child, so now we can reassure you that millions of times before, this transition you are in has been completed successfully. This is life in our universe! It is wonderful and ever evolving. Enjoy this – it is a planetary rite of passage and a time to celebrate. That is all you need to do. Universal consciousness is opening every dimension – every channel – to give All Energy the freedom to move without restriction of matter, time, or density. You will have at least  (8 minutes ) of absolute freedom to create your next Time Spiral’s direction… and if you have been paying absolute attention to your frequencies in the last months, you will NOT miss this window- we promise. You’ll know it. In fact, you’ll be aware of so many shifts, so many clearings – leading up to this window of time – all arranged for you and all sentient beings to prepare as best you can for this window.

If you are looking for “why” here, we can only offer you this: this is the time to fully experience that it is YOU in control here. Nobody else. It is not “them”, ever- whomever you think “them” is – another set of people outside of you, another race, another set of beings- it is not “them” – it is always you. Always. It is ok. Nobody is going to hurt you. You are about to learn how powerful YOU are – and that is wonderful. It is best if you accept this responsibility – do not look outside of yourselves. You can create the most wonderful new time spiral here if you realize that you have all the power. You don’t need to learn anything new- we’ve prepared you. You’re good to go.

It is important to choose wonderful people- inspiring people – people who lift you – to enter ceremony with. Those who lift shadows from your field. You will know them and be drawn to be in their presence. They will start showing up in front of you this month, even if you haven’t seen them in a long time. Pay close attention to synchronicity- it will show you clearly who these people are. Reach out to them often. Everyone on the planet needs to feel strong support – strong belonging- strong hope in an inspiring network of kindred beings right now. It is crucial that you surround your field with inspiring energies and beings to bring you into the broadest and highest frequencies that you are capable of this month.

And don’t worry so much about the window. Just like preparing for the birth of a much awaited and much loved child, this time is what you are preparing to birth. So much has already been set – the conception was eons ago, but your soul has been gestating it along with everyone else’s. So – what does every creator know about this experience already? – only that, when all is said and done, the preparation for any birth – what you ingest and subject the gestating creation to – is ultimately far more important than how the birth itself goes. Whatever happens during the birth, also, at the end of everything, you will have birthed your creation, humanity. What you are creating RIGHT NOW is what is crucial. And after it is birthed – crowning in that 8 minute span we told you about where anything is possible – you will then have your creation there with you. The spiral will begin to turn… and the REAL question, at that point, isn’t how the birth went, although the story will be fun to tell – but this: What are you going to DO with this newly created existence? Decide what you are going to do with it. Prepare now – and prepare for the dreams that you had discounted to be possible again. What do you CHOOSE to create? What do you ingest vibrationally right now? What thought form are you holding? You are incubating that which you think. Pay close attention and claim your free will. You are more powerful manifestors than you will ever know. Accept your power. Fully accept it… and live into every fiber of it in ceremony, consciously creating the vibration of your next time spiral now. We cannot stress the importance of your intentions and the gift of the largest possibilities that are here for you now.

A few years ago, many of you were made aware that it would only take about 8000 people on the planet to ensure a high enough vibrational lift to pull you into one of the higher spirals of frequency for your next time. We are happy to say that there are over 10,000 who are here now. This is great! We were very worried a while back because there was so much density of thought and assimilation. But you surprised everyone!

So do not skimp on your ceremony now. Bring that which you call sacred back in. Practice timeless experiences. The more you remember the highest, lightest parts of yourself and live into them now, the happier you will be as humanity after this birth is through.

The Return of Poetry – the Channeled Stanzas Explained

Categories: Esoteric, Global Issues, random Laura stuff, The Stanzas

Information about the Stanzas:

About 18 years ago, I began seeing how I was able to channel wisdom and messages for people, including myself, through cards and dreams. In the last few years, I began getting these messages in clearer and clearer ways, until this month, finally, they could not be contained in readings for individuals alone.

I am currently finding myself channeling several messages every day that seem to be from our shared core of universal Knowing. They are coming through as messages that are vital for us all to remember at this time – but it seems to also be vital to pay attention to the language through which these messages are being given.

 These Stanzas are being sent to fill in the gaps in your core Knowing, so that your heart stays resilient enough to enter the Poetry of Everything.

Some of them are coming through writing and some are coming through speaking – so i expect you will find a mix of both here in the coming days.

Drink deeply, as much as you need to, from the vessel of these words. They are for you.

Gardens making love to Homes – a Flagstaff -in- September meditation

Categories: Esoteric, Flagstaff and Northern AZ, Lifestyle, random Laura stuff

I popped a few of my favorite photos of the day into a video. These were all taken in downtown Flagstaff today- it was almost impossibly beautiful – a golden day – a true early autumn afternoon of anthemic, take- your-breath- away stunningness. Within this, I kept seeing framing after framing of visuals that to me captured something about our living-with-nature. Our simple structures- sheds, walls, steps, sidewalks – and how nature, gardened and wild – loved them rough around the edges into their divine imperfections. How organisms, roots, blossoms past their prime – all embraced our ordinariness, our livelihoods, and our work – and rendered them sublime through a natureplay that I can almost describe as a garden making love to a home. Nature embraces us all, if we can only fall back into her arms and receive her nurture.
