The picture below is from my recent trip to Scotland with 15 amazing women. Angels playing bagpipes. Why not, right? It creates an image of happiness and joy, to imagine angels dancing, singing, playing, and being happy in the heavens. I’m often asked what do our loved ones do after they leave this earth. Many times, I experience them as dancing, playing, or another activity that we may associate with joy. This is symbolic of the joy they are experiencing.

On the flight home, flying west from NY to MN, we followed the sunset and the magnificent colors of a brilliant sunset. It memorized me, and I felt such sincere gratitude rise in my heart as I watched the light of the sky and land come together on the horizon. The clouds had incredible wisps, and they reminded me of dancing angels.  

The season of Fall has brought opportunities for introspection and change. Much like the season change, where the trees lose their leaves, we also prepare for change, by stripping away those things that we no longer need.

When we are challenged by such earthly events of change, and we do the adjust, we discover the layers of power we have access to, and the angels dance, sing and cheer us on. It might not always feel like we have a cheering section, but our helpers of the universe are there for us. We are on an extraordinary journey, and all the work we do is about our evolution. All the adventures, experiences, and challenges are our opportunities for individual or community soul growth. The angels sing their joy for the work we do.  Past lives are often about suppressing our emotions and mastering survival. The physical body has evolved to support us on this journey. The evolution of science and the understanding of the human body, have created medical advances to extend our physical being. We’ve yet to traverse this same journey for the mastery of our emotions. We are healing and understanding the depths of our emotions and how this work also extends our lives. We are struggling here.

We are in the infancy of this journey. Many are called to better understand emotions and the emotional health of ourselves and our communities. You’ve heard the calling and have stepped forward to learn, to provide, or to support.Shine ON!  November is a portal month (11th month), and on November 11 an additional portal opens. November 12 Full moon will illuminate shifts for us.

Stay the course, hearing the messages or queries that the angels send to you. They dance for joy when you do your work and when you assist others to do their work. Shine ON!   Much Love and Light – Laurie

2019 is flying along! Three months to 2020. Where did summer go? Where did the last ten years go? There is no time in higher dimensions, and our evolution connects us and has us moving within higher states of ‘being.’ We’ve been busy riding the waves of the energy. All the portals and surges of light hitting us this summer have kept us moving along the road of transformation. The energies of summer pushed our buttons and our limits as we experienced new streams of change. We’ve been shown the reality of our ‘self stories’, and give tools to blast through old beliefs and habits that we won’t need in these other states of ‘being.’ Chiron, the wounded warrior, continued to push on ancestral wounds to clear all paths for transformation. Nothing to hold you back but yourself. The intensity of the energy and these experiences is a step in the evolution process.   

The universe listens and responds to us with ‘gifts’ disguised as opportunities and challenges that create or force change. The change creates a new version of YOU.  

Fall is about harvest and the success of the energy we invested in spring and nurtured over summer. During harvest time, we compare what we planned to the reality of now.  

The themes of change are usually not isolated to a single area of your life. They are meant to create momentum to more significant changes, or sometimes have a catapulting effect on your life. This may be the upgraded version of you, and it can only come with incredible change. Perhaps you’ve been asking yourself these questions and making changes in your life. It’s a season of reflection, adjustment and action for correction.   

Are you happy?

Are you living a purpose-filled life?

Are your relationships aligned with your soul and your life goals? 

Are you speaking your truth without intending to dim the light of others?

Are you aligned with new beliefs, having released limiting stories?

Are you living a life of your-defined harmony?  

Perhaps you have focused on the art of listening and observation and now have new tools that assist with clarity. The observer aspect of you collects the information it receives and processes it with ease without attachment to the information. You sift or filter based on its resonance with your higher self, all while listening inwardly. It is listening without having to have immediate action. You begin to feel more peaceful and patient. This is the elevated version of you. The doors are open for you to create your best self.

Go for it!  Happy October.

Sometimes old habits die hard. Sometimes that includes processes and practices that are deeply ingrained that it requires intense focus to transform it into something new. This has been the theme for many of you this summer. Letting go of old practices, finding new ways to do old things or the discovery of a new way of being.

I’m finding myself at the end of August a bit miffed at myself for not having all my 2020 events, retreats, etc., planned and scheduled. A sudden notice and amusement of habits from 30 years of a Corporate structure that are yet so deeply embedded within me, they just show up! Many of you can relate to this. Planning for the year ahead begins in August. All plans going through an approval and revision structure and then finalization by the end of September. It is important to think and plan ahead in many areas of our lives, but then the reality is that not everyone is on the same timeline, nor does everyone have the same vision. In the world of Spirit and other dimensions, there is often is no timeline or the universe has other plans. You’ll feel your most comfortable when you remain true to your path and the voice of your soul and know you are exactly where you need to be.
Summer of 2019 began to show us separation from some of our visions or plans. Perhaps they didn’t make sense anymore, or we outgrew them. We had to make adjustments or create new plans. Many of you spoke about feeling that everything coming at you was a curve ball. You’ll have lots of curve balls if you hold to rigidity without flow. 2020 will continue to enforce and teach about agility and resiliency. Be in the moment and alert for unexpected events to show up. We can thank Uranus and Pluto for that. Everything we have been experiencing this summer has been preparing. In a few of my last podcasts, I talk about living in the energy of surety of self and trust without having to know every detail. Trusting that what is showing up is matching your vibration, then allowing for the element of magic and surprise because that’s what the universe does.  

As we move into September, September 23 is the Fall Equinox and the gateway of Fall. It’s a time of reflection and introspection of all that we’ve experienced over the past months. It’s Bear energy that reminds us to take time from usual routines and time in solitude. Be gentle and show your love to those you’re close to and seek answers to your questions by going inside rather than looking external. Listen to your soul.

Energe Take TWO– Are you familiar with the stones that are carved with inspirational words like LOVE, BELIEVE, PEACE, SUCCESS, etc?  This stone was carved ENERGE and it is not a typo.  My spell check will continue to warn me that it’s a misspelled word. Dictionary.com will tell me there is no such word and Grammerly will continue its attempt to correct it. The French spelling of Energy is Energie’. I could continue with my research but I stop here, knowing I now have multiples of this carved stone in my possession, and it is once again a message. In 2011 on a trip to North Minnesota I stopped at the rock shop in Beaver Bay, MN. I found two stones with the word ENERGE engraved into them. At the time I purchased them I thought they said Energy. I bought both with the intent to give one to my travel/spiritual buddy who was here from out of town doing some teaching with me. Everything is energy to me, so appropriate for what we were teaching. Later as I gave the stone to my friend, he laughed saying I was giving him a misspelled-word-stone. It was here I first noticed the spelling…. ENERGE and had a realization it was a humorous yet deep message. Definition of Energy is the capacity for vigorous activity; available power. The substance that moves us and keeps us in action.     Emerge means, to come forth into view or notice, as from concealment or obscurity, to come into existence or to develop.  The stone is Yellow Calcite, and its vibration value is an uplifting stone that enhances meditation, induces a deep state of relaxation and is believed to provide greater spirituality in linking to the higher mind or higher consciousness. It’s an incredibly expansive energy. PERFECT !!  Putting this all together at that time we believed it meant having available power that is to come into view or to be developed by the higher mind as a means of providing greater spiritual information for evolving higher consciousness. Affirmation at the time of being on track. You may say that’s a stretch. Not really. I look back to what has evolved and come through my work since 2011 to 2019 and feel its similar to being in a speeding spacecraft. Each day we are given signs, symbols, some common and some just odd. We have information available to us all the time, we simply need to be observant. All messages are meant to help us, provide clues or reassurance along our journey.    How many times had I looked at those stones and not really looked at the word? I just skimmed right over it, my brain filled in what would have been an actual word. Apply this to our greater world of being…. How many times might we take something at surface and not really SEE or EXPERIENCE it and allow our brain or past experience to fill in what we think it is, but not even see what is actually there. I’ve been to this rock shop each year and always dig through the word-stones. How many times did I stop at any box of rocks with words carved on them checking to see if I’d find another. What are the chances in 2019 that I’d find ENERGE again? Well I did and I clutched that stone like it was a huge chunk of gold. 2011 was a significant spiritual development year for many, a year of ending and new beginnings and I believe 2019 is equally expansive. Shifts and awareness in our beings are more of a norm and we are hungry for information and clues to let us know we are on path.  In August the Lion’s Gate opens on 8-8. It is a portal day with the opportunity to celebrate where we’ve been and decided where we are going. Messages about our pathway will continue to be shown us before 8-8 as through August. The full moon on August 15 will help to illuminate hidden things about what we’ve chosen while shining light on some new pathways. The number 8 turned on its side is the infinity sign and is believed to add some extra magic to the day for those things set in forwarding motion. I share more information on these magical days in my latest podcast. Listen HERE Get your space gear on – rockets are firing and ready to take off!!    Love and much Light.

Spring, sweet breezes, rain and the freshness of new beginnings.  East is associated with Spring, robins and eagles, the element of wind and new beginnings. The astrological signs begin its new yearly cycle at the end of March-April. It’s a time of renewal, refreshing and frequency of vibrancy that we’ve been waiting for.   The Full Moon of April 19 brought closure to an old cycle that for many began nine years ago, some three years ago. In either case the planets in place now.

April 2019 was defined as the completion of a soul cycle and continuation of our internal transformation process. The Portal of March 22 to April 22, included the power of the New Moon in Aries, and three planets moving into retrograde: Jupiter( April 10th to August 11), Pluto (April 24th to October 3) and Saturn (April 29 to September 18). The Full Moon in Libra on April 19 completed the closure of old and signified the opportunity for the beginning of a new cycle. The old cycle included years of internal work of clearing soul karma, aligning the soul journey, and spiritual evolution. The new cycle provides opportunities and pathways to a deeper understanding of self, the realization of your power, higher soul evolution and more ways to your soul dreams to reality.

Retrograde planets provide an opportunity for us to take out outer-life-experiences and use them to understand our purpose, our soul, our reality, realign our dreams and begin to shine them outward when the retrograde period is complete.  

Jupiter  The search for individual meaning and purpose, optimism, hope and a sense of justice is represented by Jupiter. So also our faith, an underlying philosophy of life, the striving for spiritual growth and expansion of the soul.
Saturn shows how we experience “reality,” where we meet with resistance and discover our limitations. It represents the conscience and moral conviction, the laws, and rules which we choose to obey. It also tells us about our powers and abilities.
Pluto describes how we deal with power, personal and non-personal. It explains how we meet with reality, letting go (death and rebirth) of those things that no longer make sense, and our capacity for radical change and rebirth.

In this new cycle, what are you becoming?  What are you creating NEW? What or who do you want in your life? What do you want from life and your experience here on earth?
As you ponder those questions and use the energy of May also ask;Are you complete in the closure of anything old, so you have space for anything new? Are you open and ready for the universe to deliver all that you’ve been working towards?Are you absolutely SURE what you are desiring or focusing on is right for you?  Take the opportunity of the May energy to recharge and reevaluate your path.  

April energies will feel like a flood of emotion as we are clearing away the things that we’ve drudged up over the last month. At times feeling you are being swept away in uncontrollable emotion, on a path or direction that is untraveled and new. You may question the way, try to prevent the movement as you continue to be swept by the powers of the universe. Sounds like a ride on a wild roller-coaster for some, and you may find it utterly frightening or totally exhilarating.

Choose how you are going to feel during the push of the April Energy. It’s portal and vortex energy that are flinging us out to places we’ve not been before as a way to have us experience things we’ve only been too afraid or reserved to attempt. Be bold, brave and learn about your resilient soul during this time. Many of you have been asking for these changes, and it’s become a pent up flow now overflowing and pushing. 

The portals to clear old energies of 2016-2018 have closed, but we still may be wondering where we’ve been the last few years. We’ve been planting seeds for our futures in our language, emotions, and thoughts. The universe will begin to deliver those things allowing us to adjust, weed out and reseed with what might be more fitting for us now. An example would be a dream or desire you had 4 years ago was seeded, and the universe is delivering it or a variation of it, but YOU have changed and those wishes of four years ago may no longer match. In some cases the universe with auto-correct what you asked for and actually what is part of your plan. This is where the unexpected tends to create that sweeping feeling.  

This highly charged portal is open now until April 22, and we’ll have plenty of time to assess the clues of the universe and adjust. Opportunities abound – what are you waiting for?
