Waiting for Love

Waiting for Love

A little over a week ago, Danny and I returned from Europe. It is an understatement to say that our time together was expansive and magical. During the trip, I could feel so much transforming and shifting within me. I knew that I would never be the same again, and now I might be in a little bit of a conundrum.

See, all of the new energies and insights I received have not made their way into word form yet. In fact, if I tried, everything that I had to share might not make the most sense! It might even feel forced.
For these reasons, I have chosen to do something that I am not very good at. I am choosing to wait.

Here’s the thing about waiting. Waiting does not mean doing nothing. It does not mean assuming that things will just fall into your lap. It does not mean meditating or praying your way into a new reality. (These behaviors can lead to frustration, disappointment, and heartache.)

Instead, waiting is a form of accepting and receiving whereby you get to simply be. When in a state of waiting, you get to take note of your environment and notice your feelings, emotions, and options on what you are experiencing and attracting.

To wait is pay attention. To wait is to listen.

When we are in this period of waiting, we are invited to heal. Through the healing process, we can acknowledge our desires. Through healing, we release all blocks us from bringing our desire into our reality.
For instance, do you desire a new relationship? Or a new dynamic within your current relationship? During this process, do you feel like nothing you are doing is working? Do you feel frustrated and stuck?

If you answered yes, then please consider that you might be in a period of waiting. The Universe and your higher self are asking you to look within and to observe your circumstances in a new way. You are being invited to heal so that you can have the new experience that you desire.

Re: Choosing a Life that You Love

Greetings from a Europe-bound plane! In the nearly eight years that Daniel and I have been together, this is our first international trip together.

A dear friend—someone who I met when I was eight-years-old and who went to Catechism with me—is getting married in Dresden, Germany! I cannot wait to celebrate her very special day with her!  During our time in Europe, Daniel and I will explore Prague and Budapest too.

As I reflect on this, I have tears in my eyes.  See, years ago I declared that I wanted to explore with Daniel.  This included exploring our inner worlds together, healing and transforming together, and co-manifestation.  My dream life also includes travel and having a business that reflects my soul’s true essence…

Today is the day that I realized that all of this has come to fruition. I am humbled and overcome by love and appreciation.

I bring this up, not to brag, but to shed light on how this all came into being.  I did not “get lucky.” I simply chose manifest my desire.  To quote Paulo Coelho from my favorite book, The Alchemist, “when you want something, all of the Universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”

What do you desire?  What is in your heart?  What does your dream life and your best relationship look and feel like? In your desire, how are you spending your time?

Please know anything that you desire is within reach.  It is only a few choices away.  I used to make achieving my desire so much harder than it actually was.  I had so many excuses about why I could not have what I wanted. I allowed these excuses to hold me back. I would feel like no matter what I did, it would never work or be good enough.

But one day, I made a new choice.  I chose to heal and let go of all of the energetic baggage that was keeping me from having my best relationship with Daniel and from being in love with life.

You can have your own version of this, and I can show you the path to get there.  This path is called the empowered path of healing. It is accessed by the following:

  • Acknowledging your desire
  • Embracing your challenges
  • Choosing to heal and transcend
  • Making soul-driven choices
  • Taking love-based actions

The empowered path of healing looks different for each person as all of us are unique expressions of the Divine. For this reason, I have created the Uniquely You: Empowered Path of Healing Startup Program.  Here are some of the benefits of the program:

  • Healing from the inside out—gain insight into spiritual blocks, your Divine strengths, and unique roadmap to have all that you desire and more
  • Higher frequency of attraction—when you allow your soul self to shine, you are more connected to the Divine and open to seeing and receiving gifts from the Universe
  • Heightened intuition, self-love, and self-trust—Reconnecting to your true source of power: your soul
  • Releasing energetic baggage—when you let go of what holds you back, you empower yourself to access everything that you need to manifest your desires
  • Clarity on next steps—components of the program give you a uniquely you roadmap outlining who you get to be and what you can do to create a life and relationship that you love

Here is the structure of the Uniquely You: Empowered Path of Healing Program:

It begins with a soul reading from me.  In this 90 minute session, delivered by phone, you will gain insight into:

  • Who you are at soul-level. These are your soul-level gifts and talents, and your soul purpose.  Embracing these gifts will allow you to heal and create a relationship and life that you love.
  • Practical application of these gifts to your relationships, your love life, your career, etc. to assist you in creating a life that reflects your soul’s true essence.
  • The energetic blocks that are holding you back from having a life that you love—if you know what is holding you back, you are empowered to change the situation through being your soul-self. (Value $597)

This service also comes with a unique 21 day prayer practice and energy clearing work to empower you to make love-based and soul-driven choices.

Approximately three weeks later, you will receive a healing elixir, a powerful energy healing treatment that is delivered long-distance as you sleep where you will wake up feeling recharged, empowered, and loved.  More Divine insights and messages from your Spirit Guides will make their way to you in a unique written report created just for you. (This report will be emailed to you, the morning after your healing elixir.)

After receiving both your soul reading and healing elixir, you will receive a 3o minute follow-up session to further assist you on your empowered path of healing.

The Uniquely You: Empowered Path of Healing Program is delivered in six weeks.  In that time, you will be able to receive guidance and support from me via email. This will support you in integrating all that you receive from both the soul reading and the healing elixir into your relationships and life.

The value of this program is over $997, but until July 31, 2016, it can be yours for $697. 

Proceed To PayPal

After you purchase your Uniquely You: Empowered Path of Healing Program, I will be in touch with you within 24-48 hours to schedule your soul reading and to obtain information that I need in order to deliver this program to you.

*Please know that your information will be kept confidential and treated with love and care.

Surrender vs Giving Up vs Giving in

Have you ever felt like it was time to give up?  When you hear the phrase, “give up” what comes into your heart?  Do you feel angry?  Does it make you want to fight harder?  Does it enlist a feeling helplessness?

If you are…

  • Single and have been in the process of finding your best relationship for awhile now
  • Feeling heartbroken from a breakup
  • Experiencing frustration at the dating process
  • Yearning to heal your relationship karma
  • Desire your best relationship with your partner

It could be time for a different type of reaction and new types of choices. Perhaps it time to experience surrender instead?

Whatever your response or situation, know this:  Giving up does not mean giving in. Instead, reframe “giving up” as a conscious choice of surrender. When you choose to surrender, you are choosing freedom. When we are free in our relationships, we reclaim our personal power.  This allows us to be our most recharged selves in our relationships.

In order to free yourself from negativity in your love life, you must be willing to heal.  As this is not the easiest thing to do, I have created a video to assist you in the following:

  • Acknowledging frustration, anger, pain, and heartbreak that you are feeling
  • Using these emotions as a gateway to healing
  • Transforming personal fear into love for optimal healing

Healing is an act of love.  Love is the greatest healer.  When we heal, we are empowered to have our best relationships.

How does this video make you feel?

And just to shed a little more light on how we can choose love and an empowered path of healing—even with the most recent current events…

Even in this time of tragedy and senseless violence, I am making a conscious choice to acknowledge the highest potential and love spark in humanity.

In times like this, it is not always easy, but know this: no matter how heartbroken and maybe even hopeless we may feel by current events, please know that you matter. 

While it may feel small or like it is “not good enough,” each time you smile and allow yourself to fully experience the beauty of the moment…for every hug you give and receive, for every time you choose love over fear, you are acting as a part of the solution. You are powerful, loved, and lovable.

Moving through an Existential Crisis

Moving through an Existential Crisis

Have you ever had a time in your life where everything just feels kind of off?  I am talking about times when the following questions (or those with a similar vibe) swirl throughout your mind:

  • Is this all that there is?
  • Why do people do things like this?
  • Why am I so fearful?
  • Why is so hard for me to get out of bed every day?
  • What is it that leaves me feeling so empty?

It is not unusual for a highly conscious person, such as yourself, to experience these types of questions.

Whether you are in a job that you hate, you feel trapped in a marriage that has run its course, you are a beacon for drama, or you feel powerless to break free of certain situations, what do you feel truly stops you from making a change? 

Whatever your reason, I would say that it usually comes down to choosing fear over love.

And what is especially sinister about this is that often times your mind will fool you into believing that your fear-based choice is really a love-based choice.

This is an illusion.

An illusion is something that appears to be true, but when it comes down to it, it is not true at all.   The following is an example of how an illusion in action:

Let’s say that you choose to settle or tolerate certain relationship dynamics or situations because you do not want to “disturb the peace.” You tell yourself that you are doing what you need to do because you do not want to upset others. Maybe you even feel like that the other people involved need you.

If this sounds at all familiar, I urge you to look deep within your heart and ask yourself: what am I really afraid of?

And regardless of your answer, I can promise you that the real reason has nothing to do with upsetting others or disturbing the peace. Even though you think you might be avoiding drama by keeping things as they are (settling for status quo) and not rocking the boat, you are hurting yourself each day you make this fear-based choice.

How much longer will go on settling?

How much longer will you tell yourself that you are fine with being in a relationship that has run its course?

How much longer will you tell yourself that you prefer being single when really and truly you would love to have a partner to co-create with and experience intimate and passionate love with?

If your heart is open and ready for transformation, then please: I urge you to give yourself permission to go for it. Why? Because you are worth having a life that you love and having an intimate relationship that reflects your soul’s true essence!

When you choose love, you magnetize love to you and everybody wins! (It’s universal law!)

The love renegade in me sees and honors the love renegade in you.

Namaste,

Lauren

What your intimate relationships really mean—in the global sense

What your intimate relationships really mean—in the global sense

We are living in times of unspeakable violence. Many of us are afraid. There are so many uncertainties right now. People are lashing out at one another—with some even choosing to murder and to commit acts of terror—toward others who are different.

My heart goes out to Orlando. My heart goes out to the needless suffering happening in our world on all levels today—global, relational, social, and personal. Instead of feeling hopeless and staying in this place of despair, I am choosing to continue an empowered path of healing by being the change that I want to see in the world. Have you or will you make a similar choice?

Let me tell you a story…

When I first began a “spiritual journey,” I was instructed by several people not to focus on the negative—ever. I was told that if I did that, I might attract negativity to me. It was also gently suggested that I stop watching the news. Does this sound familiar?

For a brief moment in time, I abided. As an empath, I bought into the nonsense that I was too sensitive to be aware of what was happening in real life to other people. But then—thankfully not too much later—I snapped out of it! Instead of choosing to fear the world and to keep a low profile so that I would not get hurt or experience pain, I chose to be a part of the world and to let my light shine!

In this process, it was affirmed that that yes, bad things DO happen—who knew? [Le sigh.] And at the same time, I opened my eyes to the good things—extraordinary events even—that happened too. This phenomenon is possible as we live in a world of polarity. This is Universal Law.

On my empowered path of healing, I have found that growth happens in discomfort. The times we are living in are highly uncomfortable. I take this to mean that we are living in a time of great transformation and healing. And in all of this, we have a choice. We may not be able to prevent other people from committing acts of terror and violence and trying to change another person’s belief system is like throwing your energy into a bottomless pit. It is a futile process. Even though we may not be able to directly change the situation, we always have a choice to choose love over fear and to heal and to grow. What is your choice?

Will you choose to tune everything out? To escape? Will you choose to continue the cycle of violence by lashing out at yourself—with negative self-talk and self-sabotage? Will you choose to blame other people for your problems? OR will you make a new choice—a love-based choice instead?

Just for clarification…a love-based choice does not include being wimpy, letting people walk all over you, and holding onto relationships out of fear of what the other person may or may not do, or because you do not want to be judged for being “mean.” Boundaries and knowing what yours are a part of the empowered path of healing.

Would you like to know my motivation for choosing relationships and love to be the focus of my business? It was not only because I am good at what I do. It was not just because romantic love, conscious partnership, and all things love make my heart go pitter-patter. It was not only because I have experienced huge amounts of healing and transformation from creating my relationship with my husband, Daniel. All of this is true! Absolutely!

The main reason I chose love and relationships is because I believe that love is the greatest healer. If we, as humans—if you, as the individual—are courageous enough to heal, then WOW.
To heal fully and completely from the inside out, and to experience the reflection of this courageous act of love—this empowered path of healing— in your intimate relationships—THEN DOUBLE, Triple, Quadruple “FUCK YEAH” WOW! 🙂

Complaining your way to love—it might be productive! Here’s why:

In most personal and spiritual development communities, we are told to stop complaining. This makes perfect sense as focusing on what we do not want is draining as it takes our energy away from what we would ultimately like. (Law of attraction, right?)

Yet on the other side of this, I feel like we do ourselves a disservice when we do not allow ourselves to complain. By complaining, I do not mean sucking all of the energy out of the room as you vent to anyone who will listen and giving thousands of excuses related to why you cannot have what you desire. That is SO exhausting! 🙂

What I do mean is if you are productive with your complaining, you can use it to your advantage. Let me explain.

If you are frustrated with your love life or relationship, you are experiencing negative relationship karma. In the video below, I outline how you can apply what we ordinarily think of as complaining to heal your negative relationship karma.

Take a peak in the video that I made just for you! 🙂

Does anything about what I shared in the video ignite you?  Is there another video that you would like for me to make? Leave a comment and let me know. 🙂

why you’re not “there” yet and how you can be

For a highly conscious person, a conversation can be revolutionary.

Good questions and insights open the door to healing, connect us with our soul, and point us in an aligned direction.

In that moment, we feel our world change. We feel like “we got this.”

Until we no longer feel this way anymore…

Unfortunately, not long after our big “breakthrough,” we realize that nothing in our life has actually changed.

In this moment, we can choose to be disillusioned, feel helpless, OR we can choose another path.

And of course, we always having the option of feeling helpless—even when we are choosing another path.

This is the empowered path of healing. This is courage.

healing_gate

Courage is highly important in the healing process. Let me tell you why, but first let’s talk about what I mean when I use the word “healing.”

First, healing is NOT only about feeling better. Yes, feeling better has a lot do with it, but truthfully: sometimes healing does not always feel too great in the process.

In fact, during or shortly after a healing session, we may experience emotions that we don’t really like at all. We may even feel quite uncomfortable.

Some of us may choose to make ourselves wrong for having these emotions. We may try to meditate them away, dismiss them, and banish these emotions out of our system. We might even lash out at the healer (aka the messenger) or other people. And we do this…not because the information is “bad” or disempowering, but because of the opposite.

In that moment, we are enlightened to our magnificence and we struggle with our own light.

These responses come from our ego or what I lovingly refer to as Junior. These methods of response, or rejecting the information, and experiencing these uncomfortable emotions are not good, bad, right, or wrong, but if you are not careful: they can sabotage you.

See, Junior is quite clever. Here is how Junior works:

  • We do not allow ourselves to acknowledge our emotions or what we are experiencing
  • We acknowledge the breakthrough and we are afraid to go deeper
  • We actually do feel much better and we even take a bit of new action, and from that we think, “Ok I am good. That’s enough healing for now. Thank you.” 🙂

If we are not mindful of Junior, buying into these Junior strategies, or resistance mechanisms may lead to stagnation and zero change.

And if that is what we want, then great! Honestly, some of us—most of us actually—would rather feel better about circumstances than create new ones. Some of us even mistake “peace” for status quo. All of this fine! No judgement here! 🙂

But for those of you who choose an empowered path of healing, you are different. And you are in for quite a ride, because on this path, you get to be courageous! You get to disrupt outmoded ways of thinking. You get to confront illusions. You get to step out of your shadow and into the light.

It may not always feel too great, but on an empowered path of healing, you get to actually experience (not just feel) positive changes in your environment, you relationships, and your well-being.

Re: How your “helper heart” harms your love life

Check out the guidance that came through for Brittany, a beautiful person inside and out, who is ready for a new experience in her love life and relationships.

video-1-may31

Taken from my virtual event, Soul-Level Healing for Your Broken Heart, Brittany’s situation demonstrates the following:

  • WHY being a helper/giver/healer in your relationships and the dating process is not all that is cracked up to be
  • HOW you can start getting new results sooner rather than later.

Do you relate with Brittany’s story? Leave a comment and let me know. 🙂

Let’s Dispel another love myth together

Let’s Dispel another love myth together

What if…

  • …Doing the “right thing” is keeping you from having all that you want and more in your love life?
  • …Always “being there” for others is blocking you from attracting your best relationship?
  • …Giving is costing you your own well-being in your physical, spiritual, and emotional health and in your relationships?

Are you someone…

  • who works hard at keeping the peace?
  • strives for spiritual enlightenment?
  • is often the first person to accommodate or bend to another person’s needs?
  • gives of themselves?

Are you finally ready to experience love, appreciation—maybe even validation—for all of the love, hard work, and energy that you pour into your relationships and projects?

If you answered yes to any of the above or if you have a friend, partner, or loved one who feel meets the above criteria, then stay with me as dismantle another illusion together.

An illusion is something that appears to be true, but in reality, creates disempowerment and feeds into many untruths. In other words, an illusion will only lead you further away from what you desire.

Let’s look at this…

Have you heard the expressions and/or experienced the notion of the following?

  1. Nice guys/people finish last.
    Now, I am going to assume that many of us feel that this is false. We want to believe that nice people live happily ever after, but maybe your experience has been the opposite of that? Maybe in your experience, you have been very nice and received very little in return?
  2. Give what you want to get.
    This is where it gets tricky. See, this expression is one of my favorites and its application is/was/has been a great philosophy of mine…However, I feel that many of us heart-centered people do not apply this spiritual adage correctly.
    In applying this expression to our lives, we may believe that…

    1. If in a relationships, that…
      1. if we want our partner to love and respect us, then we get to:
        1. fight or stand up for ourselves until they get it.
        2. give and give and give so that they see how great we are and reward for it
    2. If single/dating, that…
      1. if we want someone we are dating to commit to us or someone to notice us enough to ask us out, then we get to:
        1. give and give and give a lot so that the other person will perhaps give us what we want.
        2. show how great we are: how knowledgeable that we are, how beautiful we are, etc. so that the other person will commit to us or ask us out
        3. appeal to that person at the expense of ourselves so that they will love us and appreciate us and maybe even commit to us.

And regardless of which of the above applies to your personal situation, the end result is the same: disappointment and heartbreak.

So where’s the illusion?

We covered the groundwork with various situations where a heart-centered, loving, and nurturing person (maybe even you perhaps) could be sabotaging their relationship/love life through being a nice person.

Sometimes traditionally nice people can get very resentful when they do not experience gratitude, appreciation, or validation in return. Sometimes they may be burnt out, bitter, or even jaded about love because they feel like they have nothing more to give. They feel depleted.

This breaks my heart as the entire situation could be resolved if new choices, love-based choices were made instead of choices based on fear, habit, and illusion.

Are you ready to dive deeper into how you can have a new experience in your love life and relationship?

Ever wondered how you can experience love and appreciation from others, instead of simply being the one who is always giving?

A note to free spirits and to those who have been burnt by them/us

A note to free spirits and to those who have been burnt by them/us

When you hear the words free spirit, what is the first image, thought, or feeling that comes into your heart?

Perhaps it is…

  • …Someone who cannot be bound?
  • …Someone who does life to the beat of her own drum?
  • …Someone who defies convention and authority?

Do you consider yourself to be a free spirit?

Do you find yourself admiring the free spirits in your life?

Do you love spending time with free spirits as every moment with them is an adventure?

Or, on the flipside…

  • …Does a person with free spirit qualities agitate you?
  • ….Have you felt abandoned, betrayed, or hurt by a free spirit?
  • …Did your interactions with a free spirit cause you to feel like you just could not measure up?

Are you a free spirit who has…

  • …Clipped your own wings (or allowed for them to be clipped) to fit in?
  • …Flown away from limitations instead of through the limitations?
  • …Parted ways with people who felt were trying to control you?
  • …Resigned yourself to being single?
  • …Feels your current relationship isn’t exciting, expansive, or supportive enough?

Do you hold any of the following beliefs?

  1. No partner or potential partner is truly at your level of consciousness
  2. Relationships intrude on your personal freedom
  3. Your dream relationship does not exist in reality

If you feel triggered or deep resonance with anything that we just covered, I invite you to watch the following two segments taken from a virtual event I hosted last week called Soul-Level Healing for Your Broken Heart.

Instead of posting the entire training here, I felt it was best to share segments with you. In these particular segments, you will discover:

  • How your free spirit is helping or harming you in your relationships and love life
  • Insight into deeply held beliefs that are no longer serving you on having your best relationship
  • Empathy and compassion into a free spirit’s thought process
  • Actions that you can take to transform your relationship karma and heal your heart

This first video features free spirit, Patricia and her struggle in crafting a relationship that reflects her soul’s true essence.
