Empathy VS Compassion

The difference between empathy and compassion is empathy can often wear us out; when we take on the emotions of the…

The deeper we go into our bodies through spiritual practice or awareness, the more and more we realize that we hold onto every memory we have experienced. We hold onto memories in our muscles, our organs, even down in our bones; yes, even within our skeleton there is a feeling of tension that comes from these suppressed emotions, and these spaces where we hold on are where we are restricting our freedom to be embodied and present.

“Committing to the spiritual path involves...

Committing to the spiritual path involves taking FULL responsibility for everything that happens in your life and using every aspect of your experience as a means for your own internal transformation. If you are still blaming others, focusing on the perceived wrong “out there”, making excuses for certain patterns in your life then it’s likely your “spirituality” is only a convenient feel-good type of pill that you take to subdue yourself even more. The transformation that this process demands will require a complete purification of all your modes of self deception. You will have to give up your sense of “self” and all the defences you have up to protect this illusory self, surrender every habit, thought, idea on who you were into the total annihilation of everything “you” think you are so that you may become more of your true boundless infinite indefinable ever changing true Self. And this sense of freedom will allow you to feel more “you” than you ever have felt. That’s how you know it’s working – when you begin to feel like you have come home to what you truly are.

Many of us, as an automatic reflex...

Many of us, as an automatic reflex to painful experiences, shut our hearts down a little bit more; making these knots [around our hearts] tighten around the expression of our soul. This is a protective mechanism we have developed as a fear response, which makes it so that we will feel less as we experience the world through the lens of the small "i", our ego self. But, in order to feel more love, we must also feel more pain - we must feel everything. This is the state of the open untied heart – one that is completely open to receive All.”

“Showing up as who you truly are is giving others...

“Showing up as who you truly are is giving others the permission to be as they truly are as well - not to replicate you, but to be their weird authentic selves too; for we are all expressions of one experiencing itself in an infinite number of ways.”

“…never underestimate the power of a sincere prayer...

“…never underestimate the power of a sincere prayer spoken directly from the heart, meaning - ask for help from divine forces, and also accept that you are not perfect and work on your shit, like be really honest about what you need to change and then take action and change it. Do not be afraid to surrender into your pain. Trust it will get better. I have experienced that painful situations are necessary gateways for a rebirth to happen. The night is always darkest before the light returns.”

“... the permanent healing of our bodies

“... the permanent healing of our bodies comes from our awareness of our emotions, our willingness to feel what comes up in each moment, and this can only be healed by giving our bodies constant Presence.”

“There is extraordinariness to be found...

There is extraordinariness to be found in the fundamental ordinariness of our lives. When life is approached like this, every moment we experience with complete openness can be used as a means towards our own transformation.

Testimonial from Angela D.

“I have been working on tuning into my body/intuition as I have come to realize I react mechanically and live out of my head. Laura listened to my journey that led me to the place I am presently in and ultimately brought me to her for our session. After listening, she offered her guidance on how to deepen my meditation practice. Laura sat with me and talked me through this new practice which has already had an impact on my life – allowing me to sit quietly with myself and investigate any issues that I have buried for healing if they arise. I am so grateful for her guidance and look forward to another session when I am ready to take my meditation practice to the next level.” - Angela D.

Testimonial from Carol M.

“I had a really great session with Laura. After going through a very traumatic event, I was experiencing some very dark things that not even the psychologist I was seeing at the time would be able to help with. That led me to seeking help and answers elsewhere which ultimately led me to finding Laura through a podcast she was a guest on. Hearing her story and experiences made me feel a little less alone. I knew then I had to schedule a session and share my story with her. During our session, Laura helped me understand more of what I was experiencing and more about my path as a healer. For the first time in a long time someone understood me in my darkest moments and that to me is priceless. Thank you Laura for being a guiding light for those who are in the dark in search of their own light.” Carol M
