March 2019 – Wondra-ing Spring Yet?

I’m writing this as I’m watching the snow continue outside my window. Yes I’m snowed in! After my annual wandering trip West into the sunshine states, I, like many Minnesotans ponder our seasons here. I marvel at our endurance, and our vitality in how we embrace the weather with winter gear, layers, shovels, and snowshoes. We are masters of statistical weather facts as we await spring. We celebrate the annual return of the birds, warm weather and grass as we sport shorts and flip flops earlier than most state inhabitants. We are resilient as we quickly move on from the snowstorms and polar vortex weather of the past while being amused of the snow falls experienced in Nevada, California, Arizona and well as up and down the east coast.

There may be scientific weather reasons for the frigid cold and pummeling of waves of snow, but there are also energetic reasons. Repeated or extended weather patterns tend to keep us inside or in one place. I see it as an opportunity to do more internal processing, resting and sometimes more connection with those closest to us. The snow and water is good earth cleansing, but also it is another way of slowing us down, drawing us in to be more contemplative. Water represents our emotions, and we’ve been working on deep emotions most the winter. Time to wash some of that away too!. The Aries energy of Uranus and Chiron are giving us the push in our souls to get moving. Almost like cabin-fever of the soul. It is not a time to rush, but to act purposefully in all our actions as we plan for spring.
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’re planting seeds for new crops that will take us through the next 4-6 years, and the universe is providing a plethora of clues. March 6 New Moon brings energy and freshness about 2019. Spring Begins on March 20th with a Full Moon, also will be powerful illumination of new pathways. There is another energetic portal between March 20th full moon, and April 19 Full moon – prime planting perhaps? Listen to your soul, it always knows the path.

February Wonder-ing

We are wrapping up January, and the energetic remnants of 2018 that are still playing in our energy field. Many things that have surfaced for us are in the final stages before they vibrate out of our field near the end of February. Hang in there, some may not yet feel all the stability and excitement of 2019, but it’s on its way. In numerology 2019 it’s a ‘3’ year, and is a significant number in Numerology. It can be a magic year for many of us. Three is a symbol of the Trinity and a number that brings good luck. It’s known to inspire and encourage generosity, power, and positivity. On the heels of two January Eclipses that help propel us forward, it’s already begun as a magical year. Its creative energy gives people the strength they need to express their ideas freely. It motivates all the life paths to rise to the challenges they face as well as to defeat the obstacles that may be presented.  


It’s a year of potential and good things on the horizon. The universe provides new pathways and clues to our alignment to those pathways. February is a month to wonder so be aware of this energy. 
When you travel are you one that likes your trip to be perfectly mapped? No surprises, all details planned out for the journey? Then you may struggle with all the options before you now. If you like variety, challenges, adventure, and alternatives to choose any path, then time may seem easy and fun for you. Our pathways have detours, road construction and the opportunity to get lost, or to see great things. Observe where you are and where you have been only to help you go forward. Enjoy this journey. Shine your light, be authentic to your truth and be patient but continue to be in awe, wonderment, and curiosity of what may be ahead.

2019 Happy New Year – In Gratitude

In gratitude of YOU! For the connections, the support, the shining of your light. I appreciate and honor you.  For all who have trusted in me to connect with angels, guides, ascended masters, astral beings and your loved ones(in both human or pet form) to deliver messages and teachings of wisdom, love or healing. For allowing me to be this conduit for the words of the universe and being open to hearing through these newsletters, free calls, podcasts and wherever I am speaking. Thank you for listening and for your valuable questions, topics, and feedback.  

2018 was a demolition year for so many. We’ve worked so hard to create visions and dreams for our future in the midst of challenge. The universe always hears our wishes, desires, ideas, and goals and now the universe is beginning to deliver those things we were asking for or working towards. Our challenge in early 2019 is to not sabotage what is being shone or brought to you. As humans, we do this by believing we don’t deserve, or we aren’t good enough to sustain something. It might appear too good to be true, so we avoid or dismiss it. Pay attention now as we see the glimmers of our desires that our souls have been waiting for, it’s our humanness that has a tendency of getting in the way and becoming the roadblock. 
We bounce into January with a New Moon – Solar Eclipse Jan 5-6 followed by a Full Moon / Eclipse on January 20-21. Eclipses are powerful as end a cycle and begin a new cycle. Given this eclipse season kicks off in the new year, watch what is happening around you, with you, or involving you as it will provide clues to what your 2019 may look like. The first full moon of the new year is often representative of last chance to leave the previous year residue behind. So you will have a few weeks for these clues to present themselves and adjust how you act or react to them. We are always receiving messages, translation of the messages will depend on your practices, new coping skills, and openness to change as the universe shows you where you need to shift next.  

2019 is a building year. Did you define your design to your soul specifications, or do you need to make some changes (tweaks or significant)? This is the time for adjustments and gratitude for what is being shown to you. We’ll end 2019 with a Solar Eclipse on December 26, and the universe will support us as we leap into 2020 and even greater transformations in our personal lives, relationships, community, and careers.   

My wish for you this holiday season is calm, peace, and that you be held in the vibration of love and in an environment that supports unconditional love. My wish for you is that you shine your light so bright that others recognize your soul essence. My desire for you this holiday season is healing, health, love, peace and that your dreams manifest.

December 2018 – My Wish For You

My wish for you this holiday season is calm, peace, and that you be surrounded by people that support this energy. My wish for you is that you be held in the vibration of love and the environment that supports unconditional love. My wish for you is that you shine your light so bright that others recognize your soul essence.
Being in a state of worry, or replaying a ‘stress’ event continues this process. We know this impact on the physical body, our pupils dilate, our heart rate increases, glucose is released in our system for bursts of fleeing energy and blood flow moves to our extremities away from our internal organs so we can move quickly. Our immune system takes a hit as it adrenaline and cortisol flood our muscles to assist in defending us. Circulation in the brain shifts to reaction vs. thought and analysis. We know the chemical reaction and its impact over time, but what is the effect of stress on our auric bodies?
The Etheric Energy Body – The second etheric layer is the skin of our energy fields. It feeds us information about them and me. This auric field begins to contain holes, and we experience conflict between our inner and outer world. We start to lose the ability to differentiate between mine and yours, and it begins to feel like you are taking it all on! The chakra system in the body slows or even stops to self-preserve.  
The Emotional Energy Body – The emotional layer is the keeper of your feelings. It is here where both fears and celebrations reside.  Feelings are gathered and explode in the space of rawness. We begin to shut down emotionally, and the first thing we do is disconnect from other sources of emotions (people) The emotional body, which is where we manifest from retreats or flattens, and it moves to survival mode. It shrinks and hunkers down. Emotions can be out of control, or there are none. The chakra energy points for our identity, security, expression, intelligence and intuitive spirit and basis for how we live is altered.  The universe will begin to interject in an attempt to wake us from this state.
The Mental Energy Body – Our belief systems are also stored here. This is where our thoughts are assimilated and sorted out. It is where ideas evolve to the outer energy fields. In this layer, our personal truths, or rather, our perceptions based on our experiences are stored.  This is where fear, doubt, overwhelm creep in. We move into analysis paralysis and further shut down from any or all opportunities that the universe may present. NOTHING presented to us filters in. This is where we begin to say things like, ” oh I tried that, it won’t work, nothing will work.” We feel defeated feel hopeless.    
The Spiritual/Astral Energy Body – The spiritual layer of the human energy field is the final layer. It has been said to be the place where our “consciousness” or “higher awareness” resides.  We begin to lose our connection to our soul journey, soul purpose and the divine outer light that is always there to assist us. Living in stress is living in a constant state of chemical imbalance as we try to survive. ALL layers of our being are impacted, and this stunts our normal evolution process

My wish for you this holiday season is healing, health, love, peace and that your dreams manifest. My wish for you is that you shine your light so bright that others recognize your soul essence.

November 2018 – Experiences of Life – time of reflection

I’m often curious about how people see their experiences in life. We reflect on events in our life and categorize them into good, bad, great, awful, remember or forget. We all have categories and when you indicate which of these categories do you reflect on the most.
  
The planetary support in October and November throwing us deep into these experience categories. If you have been working on organizing your personal spaces, and that’s an example of external organization, but our spirits are working on our internal space. Cleaning, tossing, saving and simplifying applies both to our personal space as well as our emotional health. In either case, we often find things we’d forgotten about. Neptune natal retrograde is creating this unplanned cleansing for our souls by showing us those forgotten or purposefully hidden memories. Most of what we are attempting to clear are not from this lifetime. Present day life events are only the catalyst for transformation of our emotional memories. 
This transformation includes speaking the truth for things you’ve held on to. Finding your voice to honor your experiences. There is again more light coming into the planet, and this is highlighting the opportunity of our soul growth. 
I’m curious, how you are looking at your past? What areas are you yet afraid to look at, for fear of the emotion it might dig up. Confused about feelings that you feel don’t have any history (at least in this lifetime) Honor your feelings and your history. Transform the thread, cords, and relationships of past. No long cut the ties or cords, but rather transform them by honoring the experience. Doing this is what will provide a clear gateway for your future.  
Love and Light ~Laurie

October 2018 Intensity

You are always who you are until you are something else. Right now you may be trying to figure out who or what this ‘something else’ is. Planets and the energy is creating an expedited evolution phase. 
If you don’t feel like you (I know that sounds silly) you may be trying to find your true self or authentic self. Authentic you is always you until you are a ‘new’ you and right now you are becoming a ‘new you’ so you may feel you are lost. Feels like a mind game and an emotional roller coaster, often starting with a self-judgmental question of what should I be doing?  
September was a push forward month with the speed of change that left you standing at a finish line asking ‘what just happened.’ The month disappearing into the past at the snap of a universal finger. 
October will have us seeped in Chiron’s energy of emotional expansion as you are introduced to new aspects of yourself, that include the discovery of tolerance levels, boundaries and finally your ability to say NO to those things that don’t seem to matter so much. Venus is retrograde beginning October almost through the entire month, and other planetary aspects are hammering our emotion body with anything that has to do with relationships. This is not just romantic relationships, but all relationships. Hang in there, the shift takes us to a deeper understanding of purpose, potential and use of our gifts we’ve discovered along the way.  

September 2018 – Happy Movement

It’s the month many of us look forward to and love, and also the month we experience some sadness. End of summer, kids going back to school, and we begin to listen for signs of winter. It is a time of year for introspection and processing of what spring and summer have meant to us. We assess time and how we used our spring to start projects and summer how we nurtured or worked on those projects. What did we finish and what was never begun.

Where are you? Are you dreaming, chasing your dreams, living your dreams or are your dreams chasing you? Those can be significant questions, and during introspection, we might not feel comfortable addressing any of those questions. It is healthy to reflect without judgment. It helps us move into action, and September is an active month based on your introspection. Perhaps some of your dreams or projects were not meant to be done in 2018, maybe you will be in a better place to activate them in 2019. Perhaps your ideas or projects never needed action, perhaps you’ve outgrown that part of your life. Maybe you needed to say goodbye to some dreams.

The summer of 2018 may have been brutal to our emotional energy fields. We either dove into this work, or were thrust to do that work. It was HARD but productive. It would be healthy to assess and honor those experiences as you go into the fall season. Planetary, September will be a healthy month for assessment and reactivation of some of those dreams, or the release and understanding that they no longer fit us. The energies of September are lighter if you’ve done the deep work this summer. Pathways are shown, and perhaps they are not what you planned or expected, but they are your pathway to ‘next.’ Trust, and follow. Your hard work and faith in your dreams coming true. Go YOU!

In Gratitude !

August 2018 – Lions Gate, Solar Eclipse and Soul Realization with Venus Rising

The waves of summer energy continue, and August will be equally packed with more punches from the universe. The Lion’s gate happens each year and will be open from July 26 to August 12. The Lion’s gate is when Earth and the sun align with Sirius that creates this intense energy. Sirius is strong masculine energy, so it has some strength to it to fulfill its pushing purpose. The energy intensity peaks on August 8.

Feminine Rising – Lake Superior Midnight Moon and Venus


Because we also have so many planets retrograde it creates additional opportunity for us to reflect on our lives, make bold changes, drop old imprints and heal old wounds. The full moon on July 27 illuminated some of our shadows. The purpose was to shine the light (love) on it and repair it. The universe has held us in this place this summer to do some incredibly deep heart work.

2018 Lion’s gate feels more intense because it spans the Lunar Eclipse we experienced on July 27 and the Solar Eclipse we will encounter on August 11.  The Solar Eclipse on July 12 gave us glimpses of next steps on our journey. The Lunar Eclipse on 27 worked with old emotions and wounds, and those things that would prevent us from obtaining what is next on our path. Some of you may still be in this phase of cleanup.

This Solar eclipse provides light for our path and any visions or dreams we created. Towards the end of August, we will start to notice life settling back down to a more relaxed and manageable level, though still intense for some if you are fighting to hold on to old junk.  The eclipses of 2018 are connected to the eclipses ahead in July of 2019, so some of your dreams might take a full year to see progress.

Venus rising, the energy of love has been pushing all summer, while Mars (the action and movement planet) has been retrograde, thus holding us in the middle of our personal emotional flames. All are with the purpose for us to feel and heal at new levels. We have to do this work now, and how you do the work will create your experience now and moving forward into Fall.

Most of the light codes and information now coming into our fields are shifting our filters about life and more importantly bringing a new dimension of love. This is Venus rising and Soul Realization of its power. It creates a new filter for us to use and is needed to help us move forward. It includes how we love, who we love, our definition of love, an understanding of the layers of love, and using love as a real gateway to connect with others. It is acceptance of the rising feminine energy as a strength, not a weakness. (both men and women have masculine and feminine energy)

Love is just as much a commitment as it is a feeling and we will need to be committed to how can use the frequency of love to address the world. The heart frequency is believed to be 528 Hz, and it has long been aligned with the frequency of the earth. As a sound healer, I’ve spoken for years about frequency, scales, chakras, and tones of the universe. I realize that is only one level of love, and 528 Hz is just the beginning. There are many dimensions to this and to us, and we’ll begin to explore these new frequencies in the coming months and years.  As we understand its depth, we can choose love as the means to help us navigate and maneuver the maze of energy that greets us each and every morning. There is no escaping, or running, It will require us to go right through the middle of it and learn a new way of being. Flow vs. force, and leading with the frequencies (plural) of the heart.

In Gratitude !

July 2018- Summer of Light, Sensitivity, Eclipses and Soul Freedom

We’re in the middle of feeling the heat of summer, and the force of the summer energy. We continue experiencing the intensity of ‘change’ energy.  July is also eclipse season with a solar eclipse on July 13 and lunar eclipse July 27.  This energy assists in forwarding us in the life or emotional changes we’ve begun earlier in the year. 
Much of the light coming to the planet this summer is feminine energy, and its purpose is to propel the masculine forward to heal and expand their evolution so that there was more balance between the female growth and masculine evolution patterns going into 2020.   It’s tough on the guys as the emotional energy body is being stretched. Old wounds are being uncovered, ripped out and that space prepared for the healing.  It’s tough work.  Not all are free from this work, and expansion.  Women are also getting walloped for in those areas that hold rigid or fixed patterns, or they are being called to support others.  I’m honoring all men and women doing this deep work as any work we do individually is also assisting all at the collective levels.      
The illumination process also includes working with our patterns and behaviors that formerly used to hide our emotions. Some are feeling desperate to find that place of comfort, only to realize they have been illuminated and are no longer that safe hiding place.  We are raw and exposed as new patterns evolve that will support us in the future. Our sacred IAM is pushing to be heard, thus we’re doing deep work for the soul’s personal freedom.
Solar eclipse often present the opportunity for new beginnings. Most times they mean happy or exciting events, occasionally something may end too, but the energy accent will be more focused on the start than the finish. Changes could come gradually or suddenly. Still, the news or timing of those changes often comes as a surprise.  At eclipse time, we realize that we can’t control everything. Eclipses are meant to help us to evolve and to become more mature, seasoned, reflective, and philosophical. Events that follow an eclipse have more weight than events brought on by a regular new or full moon.  
Eclipses are dramatic “wild cards” and can bring changes or events that we don’t see coming. They can help you do things you never thought you could do, overcome fears, and show yes, you CAN do it! Take note of all news and signals you get near eclipses.   Sometimes under a full moon eclipse (lunar), the plan might not work out quite the way you expected. Being fluid and flexible is vital should you experience this.  Often a lunar eclipse will remove a person or element in your life that you thought you needed but really don’t.  It’s clearing and cleaning energy.  
Keep this rule in mind the universe will not abide by an empty space. Whenever a vacuum is created, the world rushes to fill it. Have faith that this will happen in your life and all that you “lose” will be replaced with something more aligned or fitting for where you are, or what you need even if it is not clear just yet.  
BRAVERY – COURAGE – and why Archangel Michael is so ignited this summer (think all the fires and heat) Love it. Love you and all parts of you. All emotions, all thoughts, ALL of you.   Be you, and shine on for that! In Gratitude !

June 2018 – Sunshine and Sensitivity

Welcome summer!  Hot summer temperatures and bold storms pushed May right off the calendar. In June we’ll officially welcome summer with the Summer Solstice, where we have the most hours of daylight here in the Northern Hemisphere, but there’s other magic in the air that stirring our passions up.   
Uranus moved into Taurus mid-May. Uranus is the planet of innovation, liberation and revolution. It can destabilize the foundations of anything that is stuck in the past and resists a progressive future.  Its role is to show you where you might feel trapped. Uranus will strip away anything that is holding you in a place of lack, status quo or being stuck, and if you don’t or won’t move, its force will create events that will move you. 
Taurus is the second sign of the zodiac, and ruled by the planet Venus and relates to our human desire for personal comfort, stability, and security, which for many are love and wealth. Notice where your passions are desiring expression. Taurus also is the first earth sign and represents Mother Earth herself. Mother earth will continue to rumble this summer as she too is feeling the energy of change just as we are. Be outside and enjoy the feel of her upon your bare feet! 
This energetic shift could create some significant disruptions to your regular routines, habits, and lifestyle, which has up until now provided you with material and emotional stability, security and nurturing. Changes in these areas might not be so comfortable for some, and it may test your skills in resilience.
The Full Moon at the end of April pushed some of you to declare – DONE. In doing so, you set in motion a doorway and a new path. As you travel this new path, don’t bring along your old habits and patterns. When stress or fear rises, most of us have established patterns we tend to fall back on.  Under the Uranus/Taurus influence, you might notice you are tempted to revert to old habits or patterns as a method of avoidance. If your comfort patterns involve reaching for unhealthy snacks, shutting down communication, reaching for another glass of wine, make a conscious decision if these are the patterns you want to take with you on your new journey. A new path might warrant new patterns. Know and decide where your ‘comfort’ zone is before you hit any stress or fear bumps.  Want to know about the influences of Uranus in May listen HERE
