May 2018 – Manifestation
April 2018 – Happy Spring
Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. To 20 oz. She replied, “The absolute weight doesn’t matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, that’s not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I’ll eventually have an unbearable ache in the right arm. I can put it down for awhile, but the reality is that I can’t carry it for a long duration of time. In fact, as my arm begins to ache, I’m no longer able to focus on what I’m here to speak about, and I begin to focus only on the pain in my arm.”
It’s time to put your burdens down and try a different way. It’s time to ask if it is necessary to carry those burdens anymore. It time to leave them behind, hand them off or find help.
Spring and April is a time for new beginnings. Take what you have learned over the last six months and filter where the opportunities for shift are. Take advantage of knowledge and this spring energy to find new, live new, be different or view your life differently.
The energy of spring and planetary transits are urging us to find another way. A more loving way that doesn’t require pain. Time to shine this month!! Happy Spring!
March 2018 – March Madness
February 2018 – Wander and Wonder –
I started my annual wandering trips some years ago. I’d spend some focused time hiking and hanging in the desert.
Family, and friends at the time thought I was crazy. I’d receive tips to put a rope around my sleeping bag to prevent snakes from crawling in with me or advice not to dig in the sand because scorpions like to hang there.
I’d notice their raised eyebrows as I’d talk about the importance of this desert time. There is still a place for common sense and practicality, but I was learning those fears didn’t have to be my fears. Throwing a sleeping bag down in the desert and sleeping under the stars had excitement and challenges.
I remember the first night vividly. It was sleepless as I wondered about snakes, tarantulas, and scorpions. Every sound was amplified. My senses were on high alert, on guard. Those external seeds of fears planted by others seemed to become my internal fears. I wasn’t able to enjoy the million dollar star view, and I didn’t relax until I saw the sunrise. I remember that first light of dawn, the beauty of the sky and a feeling of survival followed by a realization all my fears and beliefs were in my mind, followed by an understanding they weren’t initially my fears, but I’d somehow adopted and internalized them.
The second night came with different concerns, not of earthly creepy crawly things, but the ghosts of the desert. I see energy, so I saw a tribe move across the desert. I pulled the sleeping bag up and over my head and willed my body to go to sleep. Once again I was gifted with a brilliant sunrise and a lone crow that circled above me. Natures alarm clock was telling me to get moving. Those fears were mine and could let them go.
Some days later while journaling on the plane home, I realized the gift in that experience. The learning of how to discern my internal fears and the influence of external fears. How quickly either seemed to creep in. I gained new coping skills in handling these fears and anxiety. I had won a profound lesson of trust in myself, my travel buddy and the universe. Releasing fear is freeing, as it allows us to enjoy and experience life in another way.
So it is in life when we work through fears or roadblocks. The universe will find a new, different or more profound way for us to work our barriers. When we say YES to those things, we experience a different level of being, saying NO often holds us in place. There are times it’s important to say NO, and sometimes it’s difficult to discern what the answer should be or COULD be.
Over the years I began to call these trips my wanderings. A valuable time that I reserve just to wander and wonder. To stretch my boundaries, and push myself a bit. Over time it’s taught me to turn off the residue of a corporate-like time-clock and allow the universe to deliver the experience. It’s created space for knowledge, wisdom, and trust to creep in during unexpected times. Like waking up to see a coyote near me, thinking it was a dream, and then finding his scat at the feet of my sleeping bag. Or the experience of my SUV sunroof shattering while going through Albuquerque and observing and later reflecting on the quick actions of my travel mate while I remained in shock. Or after a long hike and a discovery of an off-trail desert ruin, but then realizing my phone had no reception, I’m alone, and no one knows where I am (including me) except my angels and guides. Life is learning and experiencing. This is how we come to know ourselves and others.
This year I will again have purposeful wandering with the intent of observing how I am in the world and how the world is. I know all my experiences will create adventures and opportunities to learn. How I view, these prospects will make the difference in how I experience them and what I learn and what the universe delivers next.
2018 is a year of collaboration, team, and community. It’s a year we step into greater awareness of our being, and that includes intuition. So I look forward to the experiences that teach me in these domains. It’s another year of heart-centered action, so I’m looking forward to using this as my compass.
I invite you to wander in 2018 to create a new experience of wonder.
Happy Heart Month. Shine On! Love and Light – Laurie
Key dates
Jan 31 – Full Moon & Total Lunar eclipse in Leo – I Will
Feb. 15 – Partial Solar Eclipse in Aquarius – I Know
January 2018 – Happy New Year – What’s ahead?
- Redirect energy from fear and needing to protect yourself in a bubble of energy to and shining your light. Knowing the use and strength of your light casts more light outward and shatters fear. Feeling the need to shield your energy field is fear based and not part of the consciousness teachings in this new era.
- Feel, and not be fearful of feeling your emotions. We are emotional beings that use our emotions as our compass. In a time of community, we use our emotions as a healthy way to interact and be with those who are vibrationally aligned.
- Redirect feelings you have to heal everything to being complete and moving forward. What would it feel like if you leave old wounds behind and direct your focus of energy towards joy, happiness, and love? Old emotions may resurface but how quickly you can align back with joy, happiness, and love will help keep you on track for your journey.
- The primary focus of energy is light-based.
- Be authentic to what you want, desire, and where you want to be. It takes energy to be false in relationships, activities, and places where you have to hold a fake vibration to sustain. It’s healthy to say no.
- Living heart-centered. Teachings or fear of not being grounded are also old teachings and not of this energy era. Be heart-centered, and all is aligned.
December 2017 – Holiday Traditions: Tis the Season
November 2017 – Create the Ripple
You have learned a lot about yourself in the last few years. Your stamina, breaking points, what brings and steals your joy and who you want on your journey. The movement forward flows when you are in alignment of the true you. Perhaps what you thought you wanted was not really what was next for you and now you are making adjustments. Maybe your vision morphed into something more significant or different, and now you are observing that and deciding if it still fits. Perhaps you picked up a few like-minded souls along this new path. It’s the shift within the shift.
So how do we make the most of this energy surge? It is essential energy because the universe delivers on what we ask for, not with our minds but with our hearts and emotional strength. Raw emotion. As small as your movement may be, it does create a more significant ripple effect. Emotions begin generating a vibration that the universe can then deliver on. Pure joy in what you are doing, will bring more true joy.
Start small and understand it may take a bit of time for the ripple to grow and feel sturdy. This is where many give up or get frustrated or angry and don’t understand that those emotions then create a different ripple of THAT energy. Stay true to your joy and be patient. Don’t muddy the water (ripple) with confusion. Stay true, stay pure.
October 2017 – Out Of the Void
Welcome, October and goodbye summer and crazy energy most of us experienced in July-August and September! Summer 2017 transformation energy came in unexpected waves and swirls that pushed us to our limits. We experienced three massive and numerous smaller portals of change. We have one left to go.
Some have described 2017 as the most challenging year yet. Many reached a point of breaking and the feeling of just wanting to be ‘done.’ Some became tired of asking for insight and direction. Many struggled with relationships and old wounds that dug deep in their souls. We became exhausted with the feeling we were on the brink of something great, only to have the quick-shift energy of Uranus have those opportunities disappear. Some became hesitant to ‘try again.’ We’ve been in the void, and we’re tired of feeling unsafe, unsure and unclear about what’s next. This old energy is about to POP, and we have been feeling it, anticipating its energetic release. We want clarity.
The summer of 2017 had incredible light from the universe and solar flares pouring into our atmosphere. This light illuminated shadow energy, and we experience a tumultuous year. We had to go deep into our core being and prepare for our shift. Other planets supported and helped direct the light, so personal illumination could become possible. We experienced the elements of earth, air, water, fire (earthquakes, hurricanes, floods and volcanoes and fire) as the universe and planetary energy grids shifted. The void we feel is our personal power networks shifting. We’ve left old paradigms, and we’ve not yet plugged into our new energy grid. Some of us have plugged into new systems, but the power to those systems hasn’t been activated yet. It is normal to feel confused and scared during this massive transition in our frequency. This chaos and tension will continue, but YOU have shifted, and most will choose to leave the vortex of chaos and enter one that is calmer, loving and more aligned to soul journey goals and passions.
As the new power grids activate and we are plugin we may experience new jobs, relationships, projects or in general a new outlook on life. This energy frequency is meant to propel us forward with our dreams and passions. The last of the 2017 energy portals open on October 22, and it is more positive energy for change vs. the chaotic energy we’ve felt in the past. This frequency is in alignment with higher consciousness, community, and compassion.
A few things to remember:
Frequency is everything, and everything is frequency. Stay aligned to true-you, and you will BE the correct vibrational frequency to catch the waves of change.
How you expect to show up is the reality of your energy. Be self-positive. In this time of external energy be socially responsible with your power. Be aware of external controlling influences that attempt to control or shift your true-you frequency. Media is an example where we are ‘told’ how to think, feel, live and act. The media is not able to keep up with all global events, so it chooses what to present. Use discernment in what is right for your frequency.
We remain under some energy influences of indecisiveness. Clarity should come later this year. Give it time – focus on clarity through meditation, exercise, and by removing energy that doesn’t serve you.
Be open and accepting of this new-energetic you and you will experience some amazing new connections and events in your life that are better aligned because they ARE true-you.
Shine On!
Love and Light – Laurie
September 2017 -Path Reset
August was an energy packed month. Many of us didn’t realize the punch that this eclipse would contain. It was a reset for us. A golden opportunity to turn the light switch off on those things that weren’t working for us, and flipping on the light to new energy for what our future selves need. This switch continues to bring illumination to new areas of our lives and soul alignment. This energy can feel confusing as we leave behind old and start new, or are waiting to start something new.
If you find yourself still in a place of your life that is not working for you, there still is time remaining in this year to shift, and for some, this change may be sudden. We’ve been waiting for this portal of change whether we are consciously aware of it or are only aware of it at the soul level. The soul always knows. The portal opened, the light was shone, and many stepped into a higher power of their greater self.
Mercury goes directly in Leo 28 degrees on Tuesday, September 5. If you were able to catch my two free conference calls in September, I explained the eclipse energy and this pivotal place we are now in our lives to step into our authentic power. Mercury direct in early September offers another opportunity of universal forces to push us forward. Buckle in and say YES to those areas that bring you peace, joy, love, laughter and are in alignment with your soul purpose. Watch and observe those divinely orchestrated events that appear.
Use the full moon on September 6 to release any residual energy or sadness that has tagged along. The full moon is about illumination and shining a feminine energy on to our dreams. We are yet in the early stages of tweaking our actions for more perfection of alignment. The New moon on September 20 will be about the support you have around these dreams and visions. Who are the helpers that aligned with you?
Relationships continue to shift in September. Expect this as you are adjusting in your field of energy and observe what these changes may mean. Old relationships may circle back for additional work, or a reconnection now that you are aligned. These also are providing us with opportunities for learning but also
