Is There Really a Plan?

I find myself asking myself the questions...was this was part of the plan, why some must suffer, why the same scenarios repeat themselves over and over again. 
There are some who have unfortunate events, relationships and heartbreak over and over again. 
In my sessions I am witness to it all - deception, heartache, health crisis, financial ruin etc...what is the meaning behind all of this?
I honestly do not have an answer as to why or what the "plan" or reason for all the does occur in our lives. However, I do know there is a purpose for all that does occur in our lives. We may not be able to see the "why" for a long time.
If you were to take a step back and observe the world, the universe you would see everything - plants, weather cycles, biology, stars etc. all has a purpose and a place. 
To dismiss the idea that there is not a reasoning or purpose for us as well is overlooking the miracle of life. Every single person has a path on this earth. Our "job" here is to find that purpose  during our lives. 
Here's a secret - there is not just one purpose. We all have many purposes on planet earth. The path to finding our purpose(s) is like a treasure hunt. You may need to go through some rough terrain, some bad weather, interact with some unsavory characters along the way. You might even have to learn some new skills and try some different tactics and learn to continue to keep moving forward. You might be required to let go of a few items in your backpack or even travel down a dark and unfamiliar pathway to find that treasure. But, once you arrive at the treasure chest you are able to embrace the sense of accomplishment and reflect on all you had to overcome along this journey. 
Unfortunately for some, they never do reach the treasure, but I do know, those who are lost do receive clues and assistance from spirit. The assistance may come in the way of people, signs, doors closing, or being placed in situations that are so uncomfortable that the only solution is to move forward.
Here's another secret, 99.9999% of the time the treasure chest is not a physical object. The treasure is the feeling, the sense of accomplishment, the level of awareness (consciousness) you are at when you arrive at this destination after overcoming and healing the soul. We are all seeking the feeling or emotion we experience when we reach our destination. It is the sense of relief, contentment, peace or love we are able to embrace after we achieve our goals.
My suggestion is this - when you are going through difficult times, pain and suffering please, please, please keep moving forward in your life. Nothing ever is random, there is a plan, a purpose a reason for all that occurs in our lives. 
We are here to evolve our souls, to share our light with others as well as ourselves. 

May you find peace, love and light along your paths,
Laurie

The Benefits of Receiving An Energy Healing

When was your last healing session? A session where you were able to lie down on a massage/treatment table and receive healing energy from another? Can you recall the last session? Was it last week? Last month? or maybe you cannot even remember when.
There are many who have never received a healing treatment.
My definition of a healing is being able to trust someone with my energy field to help shift, align, release, detox and hold the space for removing energy that does not serve me anymore while bringing in a loving and harmonious vibration to replace what has been released.
There are many different healing sessions and therapies out there. 
There is Reiki, massage, cranio sacral work, acupuncture,  Barbara Brennan's program, Energy Medicine by Donna Eden, Alchemical Healing, and more...
A healing session does not need to cost a lot of money and time. I would recommend for people to do their research and maybe get some referrals from trusted friends and family members before going to anyone for a healing session.
Often people aren't sure what to expect or aren't aware of what is happening in the process. Never be afraid to ask a lot of questions.
Here are some tips and information:

• As I mentioned do your research for referral
• Interview the practitioner to see if you are on the same page with them, their energy, their philosophies, their experience etc. Don't be afraid to quiz them. 
• Compare pricing to other practitioners in the area to see what the going norm for this type of session in this area is. Typically sessions range from $75 per hour to $150 per hour. 
• Be sure to have enough time to get to your appointment
• You may not experience a miracle your first visit however, if you feel better, more relaxed and have more peace, then the session was a success. 
• Often the healing energy stays with you for the next few days and you may notice a gradual shift in your energy
• Sometimes there is a series of healings that are necessary for the modality. Ask your practitioner before you begin your treatments
• If you get a weird feeling or vibe, it is more than appropriate to cancel or end a session early
• If you already are a practitioner, you most certainly can trade with another practitioner as well to keep your energy up and clear as well
• Be sure you have scheduled enough time after your session so you can ground before you head out to your car
• Drink lots of water for the next few days after your session. The water will help you flush out the toxins

We are all energetic beings with life continually changing and shifting around us. It is quite necessary in order to evolve our souls that we receive energy healing sessions. It is necessary soul housekeeping :)

A healing session is a wise investment. It can save you from becoming sick, fatigued and or depressed. The value of your well-being is invaluable. If you do not feel well you cannot function. 

I will again ask my original question...When was YOUR last healing session? Is it time? 

The Magic of Manifesting

Hello All! It has been a few weeks since I have written a Blog Post. Things have beenflowing and I have been allowing myself to go with the flow ~ 
I do not usually post in my blog about products I have for purchase, however...I do know my Magic of Manifesting Downloadable MP3 class is one that just about everyone could use as a guide to help move through stagnant energy and to help create a life flowing with abundance, better health, more joy and to create a path to the inner self.
The feedback I have received from the class has been wonderful! I thank all who participated in the class. 

We all are creators, manifesting our own lives either consciously or unconsciously. Every thought, action, word and deed goes into the melting pot creating our own lives.

If we learn how to go within, to trust ourselves, to ask ourselves questions that only we can answer...we then are in our own Universal flow and are able to manage and steer the ship we are sailing through life.

In this pre-recorded class I share the suggestions from spirit. These suggestions have helped me to be alignment with my Universal flowing energy. Also, the questions from those who participated in the class are excellent questions that I know many have struggled with. 

At the end is a powerful meditation to help you bring in positive affirmations to help you reprogram the negative broken records that have been playing in your mind.

I have provided a downloadable PDF handout so you can follow along with the class.

I would like to thank my guides and spirit for helping me to be in alignment to channel the information that was brought through for this class. Those who have worked with me know I do not take credit for the information...I am simply the vessel and messenger.

Namaste',
Laurie

Mediumship Sessions

The most requested service at my center is the mediumship session.
Most of us have experienced the loss of someone, whether it be a parent, a child or even a pet. A mediumship session can help bring you clarity, healing, closure and validation.
I have been bringing through crossed over loved ones for clients for many years.
A mediumship session is not always the easiest session to have validation brought through during the session. Often the spirits provide information that only they would be privy to the information. The client afterwards has the opportunity for a little homework to see where the connections, names and stories link up.
Here's some wisdom I have come to understand via the spirits on the other side:

• I, as a medium cannot guarantee to bring through the person you would like to speak with. There are many reasons as to why this spirit may not come through. They may be unavailable due to what they are learning on the other side. They may be helping others out. They may be in transition or on their way to another level or dimension. They may not want to come through for their own reasons. The timing of their visit may be for the highest and best good of all.
• When someone has come through they still may have their own grudges or points of view. Crossing over to the other side does not always equal higher evolved consciousness.
• Often the messages and signs of validation are validated AFTER the session.
• They do want you to take notes or record the session. Often the message or the person's name makes sense later.
• The signals and signs they share with their loved ones may all look different. If your brother Harry comes to your sister in her dreams, it does not mean Harry is coming to visit you in your dreams as well.
• They are relaying stories and messages through THEIR points of view. This may differ from your own recollection of events. 
• They do like to play certain songs on the radio to grab your attention.
• Sometimes the messages are simple messages that they are okay. 
• Often they do become guides for their loved ones but not to all of their loved ones. 
• They continue to learn and grow on the other side.
• After crossing over often they have second thoughts about their last wishes and do not hold grudges if you were unable to fulfill those last wishes.
• There will be period of time when you feel their presence and times when you do not. They like to make cameo appearances. If they were around you all the time you would not appreciate that special message, dream or sign that they were around.
• Once in a while a spirit that you would rather not connect with will come through. Try to not dismiss this spirit. They may be paving the way for the spirit you were hoping to connect with. By you not wanting to acknowledge the paver you may prevent anyone else from coming through. 

I do enjoy my mediumship sessions. They often bring closure and healing to the client. 

I encourage everyone who is interested in a mediumship session to do their research, ask for a referral, check out the medium before scheduling a session. There will be times when you do not connect with the medium and or psychic. This is okay, not all mediums/psychics are able to connect for everyone. A reputable professional psychic/medium will refund your money...remember this.

I also encourage all potential clients to come to the session with an open mind. Try not to shake your head and say no, no, no. This does cause the psychic to step out of their channel. 9.9 times out of 10 the connection and or message will make complete sense after the session. 

Most of all be sure to take the time to prepare before your session. The reading process is a 3 way process ~ you, the reader and spirit. Do your part by energetically preparing for your session by taking a moment to prepare your questions and be sure to be on time...it does make a difference.

The truth is that we all have the ability to connect to the other side. With proper practice and training you too will be able to receive these messages as well as recognize those that are trying to contact you.

Blessings and Light,

Laurie

Forgiveness Begins With Self First

The subject ~ forgiveness is a touchy one.  When we are hurt and in pain, our reactions

and emotions are triggered by the pain. We may not think or act as we normally would.

We are all human, all in the same boat, and have all opened ourselves up to being hurt by others or even by ourselves.

It is more difficult to forgive others if we have not learned how to properly and completely forgive ourselves for our decisions and actions from our past experiences.

We have many negative thought patterns and beliefs based upon the areas in our lives where we feel we have made mistakes and where we have many regrets.

Most of this beating up on self is unconscious. It begins by not sleeping at night, it then may turn into some bad eating habits, then maybe negative self talk, doubting your ability to see clearly or make sound decisions, then becoming very negative with all situations not being able to see light at the end of the tunnel.

My advice? Beginning right now be the observer of your behavior ~ your thoughts, words and deeds. Is there an underlying theme of self-sabotage and negativity?

Why not start writing down what you observe about yourself and then draw a family tree-like diagram and track back to where the thoughts and actions stemmed from.

I can guarantee you will find that you are disappointed in yourself about a decision you made a while back where you wished you may have made another decision and taken a different action.

Everything, I mean everything that manifests and happens in our lives is purposeful! Even where we experience pain. I have said it many, many times ~ we are here to learn by overcoming difficulties and negative patterns within ourselves. 

When we really do understand that all is purposeful ~ happiness, pain, joy, celebration and disappointment. The soul is invincible. What comes it's way it is able to handle and move through disappointment and pain, even if you aren't able to see the solution right away.

Here is an excellent affirmation ~ I completely forgive myself for actions, words and thoughts that I feel I have made mistakes, hurt others and hurt myself. I am human, I am light and I am here to grow and evolve my soul. I will learn from my "mistakes" and make an effort to heal myself in the places that I know I struggle.

So be it amen.

When you begin to be more loving and forgiving of yourself, it will be easier to forgive others in your life.

Blessings and Light,

Laurie

The Higher Self

Most people are familiar with the term "Higher Self". On the other hand, I know there are some who aren't quite sure what this is and or haven't heard of the Higher Self.

The Higher Self is you! It is your higher consciousness a more evolved state of being (vibration). 

The Higher Self communicates to you through hunches, dreams, thoughts, meditations, channeling, emotions, and is the loving guiding voice that helps you navigate through life. The relationship with your inner wise self is the most important relationship in your life. 
The Higher Self's job:

• To keep you connected to your spirit 
• Make sure you stay on track with your life's purposes
• Guide you throughout your life
• Bring through messages from your angels, crossed over loved ones, guides 
• Protect you from negative influences and environments
• To help you heal 
• Help you remember who you are and where you come from ~ The Light

I strongly advise my clients to take the time and to make the effort to create a filter with the Higher Self for any and all information psychically to be brought through the Higher Self so that you can trust what is coming through. If you do not go through the Higher Self you can be sure not all of the messages and visitors may not be of the most loving and of a higher consciousness.

How to create a filter with the Higher Self:

• Create sacred space by clearing a room by saging, bringing your angels, gridding a room. You can also go outside where you have a private space where you will not be disturbed
• You can also call in the 4 Watchtower angels (Raphael, Michael, Gabrielle and Uriel) for sealing the space
• Take a couple of deep and cleansing breaths
• Either out loud or in your mind say the following intention or one similar to this one "It is my intention to be connected to my Higher Self throughout my daily activities. Any and all psychic information is to be filtered through my Higher Self. I  request any visitors ~ guides, angels, crossed over loved ones all be filtered through my Higher Self. So be it, thank you." 

It really is this simple. Not many people are aware that there is energy out there that is not really good for us that is trying to get through. This simple and important connection is the most secure way of bringing through guidance and wisdom. 

There are many great books and meditation CDs out there that can help you connect with the Higher Self. If you haven't read or used the Higher Self Meditation in my book "Psychic Development 101", I suggest you take the time for this meditation, it is worth it! 

Blessings and Light,

How To Get The Most Information Out of Your Psychic Reading

A reading is just a reading and all depends upon the skills of the person reading you right? Well, not necessarily so... 

I agree that there are some psychics who are more in tune with their abilities, who have a lot training and experience under their belt, who do receive information from higher and more evolved planes of existence than other psychics, but...the process is a three way connection - the reader, the client and from where the reader receives the information (higher self, guides, intuition)  

If you go into a reading not in a neutral and balanced state, this does effect your session. If you go into your session wanting the reader to prove every piece of information they are sharing, then you are not necessarily going into your session with an open mind.
If you aren't comfortable then maybe you should cancel your session.

Here are some tips on how to get the most out of your session:

• Be on time. I as well as many readers follow a tight schedule. If you are going to be late call ahead or reschedule your session. 
• Prepare questions ahead of time as well as areas in your life you would like to discuss.
• Absolutely do not show up for your session under the influence of any mind-altering substances.
• Say a prayer before you go into your session to help open up your channels or even do a simple chakra balancing meditation in the car.
• When information comes through and it does not make sense, write it down. 9 times out of 10 my clients either email me or call me afterwards to validate the information coming through.
• When you say NO, NO that isn't right, that often shuts down the channels of information for you, the psychic and the channel of information coming through.
• If after 10 minutes the information is not making any connection for you ask to end the session. An authentic and professional reader will honor this, often requesting to end the session without any charge.
• Only go to readers  you feel a connection with or via a solid referral.
• If you wish to record the session ask ahead if you may bring a recorder or if the reader records the session.
• When your reading begins, trust your own gut feelings. If you have a warm and good feeling, continue with your session being open to the guidance. If you do not feel comfortable, you have every right to end your session. Again, if this is an authentic reader they will already have felt this and will send you on your way free of charge. When scheduling it may be a good idea to ask these questions ahead of time when you are setting up your session.

A reading is a good way to touch base when you are at a crossroads, feeling a little stagnant and or are searching for another perspective. I do recommend trying to solve problems on your own first. It is easy for many to become addicted to readings, this is why I encourage clients to space out their sessions. A reading session is in no way meant to replace counseling or therapy when needed and often I do suggestion either seeing a therapist and or counselor to help with some areas of concern.

Remember your participation is 1/3  of the whole when it comes to receiving an awesome session vs. an okay session.

Blessings and Light,

Laurie
