You have certain habits that are hurting you, and that keeps holding you back from what you desire. It could be eating habits keeping you from the body you want, spending money to keep you from feeling abundant, rejecting people to keep you from being rejected yourself. The very habit that you use to try to keep pain away, is the same habit that keeps joy away. When you desire something, anything at all, you always desire a change. You…

What you are seeing is how people try to control their surroundings in order to feel safe. When you as a human feel fear, your first thought is to try to control your outside reality. You try to control other people, and you try to control the physical conditions in order to feel safe. The fear that is coming to the surface is fear that has been dormant within Humanity for a long, long time. It is fear around survival,…

What does “being completely honest” mean? What is truth? Honesty, for yourself, is to say and do what feels true to you. If you feel sad, to express that, or not try to hide it behind a smile, is honest. To be honest, is to live what feels true for you, to live in alignment with your beliefs and values. If you believe you are a horrible person, and tell people this, then you are honest. You are honestly sharing…

The only thing you can do is to accept the pain. When you resist the pain you are creating more pain. If you can accept that it is there, that it might be there for a while, it will help ease the resistance that is creating the pain in the first place. The resistance might be resistance to something that is happening, or simply old wounds letting go of old pain, but either way it is there. What is, cannot…

Picture that who you really are is someone sitting on the sofa, watching a movie. The movie is your life, your reality, and the main character is the role you play in this life, who you believe you are. So the real you is the observer. What you’re sensing is that it’s someone far far behind, it’s someone back in the shades. You’re sensing that, but the distance is not really real. If you look at the screen where the…

TRANSCRIPTED FROM LAUREL’S GROUP SESSION Isabelle: Is that why you say fear is nonexistent? LAUREL: Fear is part of love. Fear is a nuance of love. Everything that exists is love. So fear is a nuance of love, just like acceptance is a nuance of love. Hatred is a nuance of love. It is two ends of the same stick. It’s unwanted and wanted. Unwanted might be fear, and wanted will be love, but it’s still the same energy. It’s…

Q: We often hear the importance of love and acceptance.  Some spiritual leaders say that love simply means acceptance….like you don’t love your post person…you accept them.  So why the two terms then?  In your opinions what is the difference between love and acceptance and when do we use “Love” and when do we use “acceptance.” A: Love is all that is, so all energy is love energy. That includes acceptance, just like it includes hate. Every energy, every feeling…

You believe you are not good enough. You believe you should be different. You believe that what you can do and can’t do (well enough) means something about who you are. You believe that how you perform in certain activities means something about who you ARE. You believe that how you perform in certain activities means something about how worthy you are of love. You believe you somehow are responsible for making others happy. And you believe that you need…

Just like the experiences you are having are fleeting moments being lived by you, the observer, so is this life that you are living a fleeting moment being experienced by Source. Your thoughts and sensations, your feelings and your experiences in your world, all of this is being lived and experienced through the person you are existing as, and observed by your soul. Your soul, who you really are, is perceiving existence through the name and the body, and the…

My sister keeps criticizing everything I say and do! How do I deal with her? Part II: Why do you not respect yourself? What is so wrong in you that you do not deserve to see yourself as good enough? What is so horrible in you that you do not deserve your own complete acceptance and love? Could it be that there is nothing wrong? Could it be that you are simply refusing to accept your own perfection? Could it…

Q: I feel bad for not pushing through fear more of the time. Or quicker. I should be better and do more! A: What an interesting expansion! To feel as Source in moments, and to have this contrast of believing you are not enough, you should be more, you should live differently than the life you are creating now. In every now moment you are living a life only you could create for yourself. In every expression of fear and…

If you perceive that you are not enough for someone else, it is because you believe you are not enough. What others think of you is a reflection of their own inner struggles or delights, so you can never base their perception of you on anything outside of them. What you think others think of you, that is a reflection of what you think of you. The opinions you project onto them are really yours. You are using them to…

In a way everything in your reality is directly manifested. Everything is the same energy, and everything is brought into existence through your intentions.Many things in your reality you believe must come from money. You have this idea of money as a tool. You believe you must have numbers in your bank account (another number) or you must have paper in your pocket, and using these numbers or pieces of paper will magically produce to you what you want. You…

Everything you want to be is already alive within you. Everything you need to be is already there waiting for you. It is waiting for you to allow yourself to be all that you dream of being. It is all within you, ready to be explored. All you need to do is to allow yourself to perceive it in yourself, so that you can bring it out from the potential state and into your perception. As you perceive it within…

The presence of money or the lack of money is still seen as proof of who you are. You believe adults should provide for themselves. In most cases through work, a job, but if you have kids you are allowed to be provided for by your spouse. You have all these rules for abundance. How much you are allowed to have, not too much or you will experience the wrath of your fellow humans who do not have as much.…
