If you haven't guessed, our world is a little crazy right now. We can't collectively agree on what a women is, politics is like nursery school for adults, nobody knows what is good or bad for you because there's twenty million different opinions, varying from spinach is a power food, to spinach is the devil.....with nothing helpful in between.
Social media is a scrambled, live feed, of our collective narcissism, egos, insecurities, hearts and good and bad intentions..
People are having trouble figuring out if calling someone who identifies as a cat their correct pronoun is respectful to that person's sense of self, or enabling a person who is struggling to accept the body they were born into.
It's a really confusing time.
....but that external confusion is a really powerful and personal invitation into internal clarity.
Because truth doesn't come from the outside, it comes from the inside.
To find truths from the wisdom within ourselves (not the mind or ego, which is where most people get lost), but something far deeper.
A place where we can collectively meet.
The wisdom within isn't some crazy spiritual notion, daft bu****it or big lie. It's a real thing. I help people everyday tap into it and it's life changing.
We've been taught to believe things about ourself, others, relationships, society that are lies.
When we choose to go inside and tap into our own wisdom, everything changes. The way we live, the way we relate, the way we connect, the whole focus of life redirects.
I watch it day in and day out. People from all walks of life, completely different countries and cultures, coming to a centre within themselves that collectively is the same (brings peace, oneness and inner connection) and individually is unique (authenticity)
All we need is a focus on one thing. Self realisation. It takes you on a journey through the energy of the mind, your emotions, your body, your sexuality and spirituality.
Awakening you from a sleep you didn't know you were in.
Self realisation is available to you at any time. With some discipline and working through your personal stuff, your life and all our lives can be forever changed.
With support and love

Are you FULLY ALIVE and UNASHAMEDLY yourself?
You don't have to be one thing. Don't type cast yourself. Let yourself be all the things you want to be. Be a walking contradiction if you need to be. Be fully yourself. Really uniquely you.
Follow fully the things you love. Throw yourself into all the things you are enthusiastic about.
ENTHUSIASM is the life force in your veins.
Don't waste precious time on the mundane.
Not what the world sees as mundane, but the things that are mundane to YOU.
Don't judge yourself, be true to yourself.
Nothing is bad or good. It's our relationship with it, that decides that.
Take TV for example. The way I used to watch TV, I would search for things to watch and try to find something to amuse myself. I would go to the TV every day as surely as i would go to the toilet. 🤣😂 I would show up and be like, right, what you got for me......and it felt bad.
Now if I wanna watch something on TV, I do it because i'm enthusiastic to watch something. I come away inspired, enthused, uplifted, amused or relaxed. I come away from it BETTER.
It doesn't matter what you do. It matters that you are truly enjoying your life.
If you enjoy something for a short period of time, but afterwards there's regret, guilt or awareness that what you did isn't really helpful, then maybe you are meeting surface needs rather than your deepest and truest needs. Don't muck about with instant gratification and long term dissatisfaction.
That doesn't mean 'do what's hard'. It means do the things that are 'good easy'. The things you naturally do well, maximise your strengths and the areas you are already great in. Enjoy what you enjoy. Give time to the things you love without judgement.
Don't do the things that are 'bad easy'. That's the things that are easy to do, but don't really get you to where you want to be.
Its easy to avoid things that are hard to face. It's easy to stay in the relationship, the job, the bad daily patterns.
'Bad easy' screws you, 'Good easy' renews you.
Today, moment to moment, really choose to do what lights you up. Make the moment what you want it to be.
If you follow what you love. You will live a life you love.
Love you all

I look at the wrinkles on my face, and I can see the happiness etched in it. I can also see where I've been unhappy. I can see a life being lived. I see years of experience, growth and change.
I see holidays in the sun, days out with friends, and everything good and bad that brought me to this moment now.
This society tried to teach me to hate my wrinkles. To hate the natural stages of my own beautiful life. To buy creams, to peel my skin, lazer it, fill my lips and face with injectable poisons, it taught me to hate my body, to never feel enough, to consume, consume, hate yourself, consume.
A profoundly sick societal and economic order, that has humans aspiring past surviving and thriving into greed. Consume, acquire, buy way more than you need. Fill your planet up with pointless things so you can attain a false status in a false world, built to keep you consuming but never feeling enough.
I've opted out.
I love myself. I love my beautiful body. I love caring for it by eating what it needs, and treating it with love and respect.
I honour the stages I've gone through with it to get to this healthy place, and I support myself on the tough days.
My body has often been the landing ground for the stress I wasn't aware of, the nervous system settings I had no idea were effecting it, the ways I tried to numb it when being in my body felt too much.
Our bodies are precious and none of us know how long we have here in them.
Don't let this sick societal order seep into your soul and make you feel anything less than perfect. You were born a miracle. Born enough, born worthy.
You grew up in more or less privilege. Learning your false sense of 'place' in society. It's a lie. We are equal, every one of us.
Some people have learned to play the game but haven't let it shake their true connection to who they are. Some people became the game and are now perpetuating the lie.
Seperate out your ego from your 'self' and really truly feed your soul rather than the sickness.
When enough of us heal, we don't just opt out, we create a brand new world.
Love yourself xx
Love you all

Are you listening to your heart? The gentle, loving, intuitive and supportive voice within you that simply KNOWS?
I don't know about you, but I spent so many years trying to figure things out mentally, not realising that thinking was taking me away from knowing. The very thing I was doing to walk myself out, was keeping me stuck in.
It's within the silence and the stillness that knowing patiently lays. It won't shout above the voice of your ego. It doesn't have to prove itself. Intuition is just there, if you want to stop and listen, you can.
Thought has so many limitations. It defines you, the world around you and all the problems you THINK you have.
Beyond thought, problems don't exist.
Instead there is knowing. A peaceful, simple alternative to being caught in a false sense of self, relationship and reality.
Go there often. Into the stillness. Into the quiet.
Intuition doesn't give you every answer to every single thing or always show you the bigger picture. Inner wisdom guides you lovingly forward, one step at a time. You don't have to KNOW everything, you can just embrace what you do know.
If you would like the answer to a question, try nothingness. Going into the quietest place within yourself and just wait.
If you want the biggest answer of all, go into silence with no questions and the biggest answer will come.
In this stillness I've experienced truths I didn't know existed. I've experienced being myself without anything added on or taken away.
If you are ready to get honest, ready to drop your ego, ready to surrender, ready to really live, then do nothing. Absolutely NOTHING.
There's a point in which the mind chatter dies down. It's not that it stops. I'm not sure if it does or not, I just know that my focus is on the quiet and the still.
You become very present. It's as if you wake up. Wake up in a reality that all of a sudden is so beautiful. It's like your mind was blocking you from really seeing and being.
From there you will know just what to do.
Spoiler alert * you will become heart led.
Return home often my love. Do it consistently enough and home will become you, in the most beautiful of ways.
I love you

Life brings circumstances and people that offer our shadow the light...and none more so than conscious relationship with a partner.
In romantic relationship we form a strong LOVE for each other. It's this LOVE that opens our hearts so wide, that our shadow is unveiled and our deepest wounds/insecurities begin unravelling.
It's our invitation into healing, if we can just move past, blame, projection, narrative and our own nervous system settings.
This is where most couples get stuck. They keep repeating the same fights over and over, they shut down within the relationship feeling resigned, or they give up and walk away because they just don't know how to break the cycle.
The circuit breaker is taking the opportunity to grow within yourself. To focus on your accountability, your nervous system, your own regulation and self awareness.
To become so emotionally intelligent and resilient within yourself, that you can see yourself through any emotion (including trigger), which will allow for healthy communication rather than reactive arguments or disconnection and shut down.
The LOVE you have for each other can be the glue that holds you together whilst both of you unravel your nervous systems, the trauma, programming and coping mechanisms that can't come with you to enlightenment.
Fighting to be right, being unwilling to look at that which is unconscious within you or focusing on your partner rather than yourself, is you trying to hold on to your old sense of self (your ego) in a journey towards your true self. It doesn't make sense and there's no room for it on the journey to enlightenment.
Take the invitation into conscious relationship and begin unfolding your ego and it's hold on everything, from your mind and emotions to your nervous system and soul.
Here's 3 places to focus on.....
1) Build awareness. From mental and emotional awareness to physical awareness. (If you have no physical awareness, you won't be aware when your nervous system is disregulated so you can speak or act from trigger in a time when you should be focusing on re-regulating).
2) Build good, non-violent communication skills and widen what's called your 'window of tolerance'. This allows you to have healthy connection and avoid unhealthy, toxic or abusive interactions.
3) Create awareness and realisation around connection and the boundaries between you and your partner. Knowing what you are and aren't responsible for is an important part of conscious relationship. Both 'I's in the relationship are important and so is your collective 'we'.
Love you all

Experiences and people no longer have the same power they used to have in dictating my sense of self.
They can't cut pieces out of me, make me think i'm smaller or bigger than i am, make me armour up or be anything other than ME.
Instead experiences and people invite me to be more of the shape I truly am and shed who I'm not.
All of our external and internal experiences offer us the gift of oneness and the truth of our interconnectedness.
It's when we find the exact line between us and the other that we are completely merged and connected. Not lost in the other (attached) or lost in the self (detached), but at one with the all.
Changing ourselves to be what we think we should be or what someone else/society wants us to be, makes us sick. From anxious, depressed and stressed to disconnected, dissatisfied and diseased.
Rather than shrinking back, I pause and connect to my fears, walking them through to the other side.
Rather than armour up, I let myself be vulnerable, raw and hurt. Feel my feelings and let them through.
Rather than betraying myself, I neither hide under a rock or throw myself over the cliff. I stand on the edge and keep becoming.
Rather than take something personally and let it shape my sense of self, I self validate and maintain my shape.
Rather than stubbornly defend the false shape of my ego, I listen to reflections, take accountability and allow myself to become more of my true self.
Experiences and people help me find the ways I'm not showing up for myself or others. They reflect back to me my own edges....my boundaries,
They offer me again and again the gift of personal expansion and evolution.
Each opportunity bridges gaps between me and everything else. It brings me more into oneness.
If you let the societal structure that encourages us to divide, create seperation, villans and victims, better and worse, rights and wrongs, you become unwell in some way. This suffering can either be healed or perpetuated. The choice is our own to make.
You are separate from no person or thing in this world. There is no enemy. Just your own shadow.
Be true to yoursef. find your own way home, your way.
Love you all

You are LOVE. A miracle.
Not for being anything other than being alive. The world taught you things about yourself that aren't true. You don't matter more or less than anyone else, you matter exactly the same as every other HUMAN.
None of us are better, none of us are worse. You might be knee deep in trauma, maybe you have coping mechanisms that hurt and sabotage you, your life and others, you may be full of anxiousness, depression, worries or fears... but you are just as beautiful as everyone else.
Because NONE of us are our behaviours, thoughts or feelings.
You aren't your past or your future.
You have not been taught the truth of who you are.
You have been taught to conform, consume and chase the eternally dangling carrot. To rush on a wheel to just pay the bills, fit in or try to be worthy or enough.
Somewhere inside you, there's a constant stream of whispering wisdom. It can be hard to hear at first when the mind is chattering loudly, the distractions of life are constant and your body is heavy with unhealed trauma, unprocessed emotions, mental confusion and physical toxins.
Are you listening to those whispers that are made just for you? Your true self wanting realised and actualised. The false sense of the 'I' always prepared to fall away as soon as you stop identifying with it.
There is no lack in you.
The lack has been created..... it's an illusion. It makes you try to keep chasing to return to wholeness. But the truth is, Wholeness won't come from anything you can acquire externally.
Wholeness has always been waiting for you underneath.
Let go of those false desires and you will find the miracle of wholeness.
The new earth was inside us all along
Take the journey to self realisation.
Love you all so much

I was reminded at the weekend, how much humans want to connect. We were in 1920's fancy dress and lots of people stopped us and struck up conversation. Has anyone else noticed how much more connection something like fancy dress invites? It's the same with walking a dog. Lots of people stop to chat and you make so many doggies friends.
A lovely couple bought us a drink and we ended up being invited to their Birthday party. It was an amazing night of connection, but it's a shame it takes that for people to just chat.
A few years ago I started really opening myself up to connection. With the people most intimately in my life, but also strangers.
I'm always talking to people. In the supermarket, on the street, anywhere really. I just start chatting away.
The other week a man stepped out from some parked cars and I had to slam on my breaks. Instead of being angry at each other we both pulled funny faces and laughed. We ended up in the same store so when I spotted him, I pretended to ram him with my trolley. We fell about laughing.
We are all in this together. Connection can really change our day. Especially someone that is feeling lonely, down or lacking in connection.
Can you connect a little more today?
Let's fill this world with love and togetherness as the antidote to all the sepeartion and division.
Love you all

Intuition is a part of your sixth sense. Your ability to instantantly and instinctively access information that is outside of reason.
It's one of the most underrated inherent cognitive processing abilities that us humans are capable of. If you haven't tapped into your intuition yet, you are missing a trick!
When we tap into our intuition and pair it with critical thinking and emotional intelligence, it's a force to be reckoned with.
Intuition gives you all the missing pieces of information that logic and reason can't always provide.
People that are very emotionally connected are often intuitive, because intuition speaks through feeling. However, if instead of connected to your feelings, you are an extremely 'emotional' person, you may fall into the trap of following your emotions blindly without critically thinking.
Building emotional intelligence will improve this and allow you to tell the difference between an intuitive emotion vs one caused by narrative or trigger.
If a person's trauma has made them much more 'mental' than 'emotional', it may be very hard for them to trust anything other than what is very logical. Do the inner work and your intuition will join you further down the track. If you just need to get out of your head....then do that!!!
Tap into your intuition by asking yourself a question and noticing what sense you get vs what thought you have.
Eg what food should I eat this week?
Your mind might go into the foods you normally eat, whilst your intuition might pick something you would have never thought of.
It may not even be the food type, it might be that you get a warm feeling in your belly and you take that to mean you need cooked food rather than raw.
What intuition do feel you need to trust in your life right now?
What sense do you get about what you need today?
What is most important to change in your life at the moment?
Your intuition feeds back direct energetic information from across all layers of your being (mental, emotional, physical and spiritual).
Let your intuition serve you deeply.
It's life changing!
Love you all

I'm sat here tonight watching another beautiful sunset from our home in Melbourne.
Every night there's different colours. Some nights it's fire red and orange, other nights it's pinks and purples. No matter what, it's always beautiful.
I just want you to know today that you are a very special human. You came to this earth for a purpose. A purpose only you know deep in your soul.
You are worthy, you matter, you are good enough, you are important....... and all the other things.
Love yourself without condition. You are in this body for life. The least you can do is love yourself so unconditionally that you are there for yourself no matter what.
We are puzzles you and I. There are things going on in our unconscious minds that we aren't aware of. There's things we are aware of but haven't yet figured out how to change.
We are all divine, and we are all human. Our humaness is messy and creates much to unfold. Our divinity supports the process.
You can't grow without growing pains, but you can keep disolving yourself into your divinity and let yourself reform.
Rise into higher consciousness by letting go of all your perceived problems and limitations. Place your attention on that which you desire to be. The formless state of higher consciousness will bring your answers into form.
You are so much more than you've been led to believe. The answers are all within.
I love you all so much

Do you know when it's time to walk away?
Many problems can be solved in relationships when there is healthy connection and communication. If problems aren't solved it becomes an unhealthy relationship
I've learnt that sometimes, the healthiest thing you can do is end relationships that aren't healthy. Friendships, work buddies, partnerships even family members.
Unhealthy relationship can look like......
1) You shut down within the relationship. You repress your emotions, end up holding your tongue, hold yourself back, appease the other person in order to avoid conflict.
The more you aren't yourself, the more you lose yourself.
Emotionally this can start to make you feel empty, numb, bitter and resentful.
In the end you are two strangers with the title of connected in name only
Or........
2) You fight and argue often (usually the same arguments over and over again) without ever getting issues fully resolved. You hurt yourself and them. Regularly feeling upset, angry or even triggered. Defending, justifying or attacking, being passive aggressive, irritable and saying things you don't mean.
Your nervous system gets aggrivated and activated. Potentially re-traumatising yourself.
If you are being the least or the worst version of yourself maybe you need to realise and accept that you just can't make it work.
I've left behind many relationships. Some because of the conversations we had and some because of the conversations we didn't.
Some because I grew out of the person.
Some because I didn't have the tools to make it work. Some because it wasn't my turn to serve and I couldn't do their part for them.
Some because I messed up and I or they didn't have room in ourselves to work through it. Some because i realised I am healthier out of the relationship.
Healthy relationships have healthy conflict. Even if it isn't, as long as you learn, grow and evolve from it (and it's manageable) you will both be better for it.
No conflict is not good, neither is fighting constantly without resolution.
Know when it's time to let go.
You are not a failure and not a bad person/parent/sibling/friend or colleague for letting unhealthy go.
I love you
Laura

Are you open to looking at where are you too tolerant & where are you not tolerant enough in your life?
When you are too tolerant with someone, you are oppressing yourself. Not speaking your truth to avoid something (like conflict or not being liked), letting yourself get treated badly, being walked over, not being yourself.
Don't lose yourself, make yourself sick, villanise them, or focus on trying to make your oppressor 'see" or 'change'.
Oppressors only exist when you allow yourself to be oppressed.
You are not helpless or powerless.
You must consider yourself in order to find out who has the room in their heart to consider you.
Connect to the LOVE in your heart and take that to meet the part of you who is wounded.
The part that has normalised considering someone else to the detriment of yourself.
LOVE yourself into deciding what you tolerate and what you don't. Deciding what boundaries to set. You don't need to 'enforce' them. Just see these clear definitions of self love all the way through without abandoning your truth. Adjusting your life or your tolerance, accordingly, along the way.
Do you have enough tolerance? The room for mistakes, someone else's humaness? The room for someone else's perspective? Enough openess that you are curious rather than condemning, judgmental or telling someone how it is for them?
We dont have to agree with someone for there to be room in our hearts for their subjective reality.
Everyone has their own path to walk. Are you so closed as to think your way is the only way?
Open to LOVE, to loving, listening, to understanding and forgiving.
Forgiving doesn't mean you accept behaviours that are not ok. It just means you have room for the truth that we are all flawed humans and hurt people hurt people.
Every soul is at a different place in their evolution. Forgive them, forgive yourself, and seperate to that, choose what you want, leaving behind what you don't without villanising or shaming.
We all have work to do.
The heart of wisdom is tolerance
Love you all
Laura
