If you don’t know what woo woo means, it’s basically a label for the non-physical realms that humanity has a hard time fully understanding. Science is finally catching up to what is centuries of truth that was censored and immortalized so we could learn some big global lessons. (that’s my short version of it)
Woo woo is about connecting and conspiring with the Universe. It’s not ‘usual’, it can be weird and magical and it certainly has a sense of humour. Woo woo is something that humanity is beginning to comprehend and practice because you just can’t deny it anymore (unless you want to stay in the dark ages, (and that’s ok but prepare to not have much fun)).
There are many organized groups that still believe it to be bad, evil and wrong and that’s what kept me from coming out of my woo woo closet so long. I’m pretty sure I’ve gone down this road before and was severely punished for speaking my truth about co-creating with the Universe.
If you asked me what I love, I would say “I love the magic of the Universe, nature and Spirit”.
So I came back to try again and this time I’m safe to be me but it did take me over 40 years to figure that out. I’ve always marveled in the magic of anyone who could communicate with Spirit. What a wonderful gift to have but to say I could do it freaked me out, so I stayed silent and I shut it off.
I had a lot of judgements that I would be criticized, rejected, challenged, and shunned for saying I liked it and wanted to be able to connect to the non-physical realms. I would think it’s all in my head when I did think for a moment I was getting a message from within and would always look for answers outside of myself.
I can finally say I’m getting over this and am brave enough to put it in writing for the world to see I’m a spiritual person, I communicate and work with Spirit and I feel and know that Spirit is communicating with me.
Most people in my life that I love, outside of my spiritual friends and, may think I’ve gone off the deep end and am crazy. I often felt crazy for wondering if what I just felt was a sign or a message and I figured it was all in my head. Doubt will kill our connection, being open and noticing what resonates is how it can come to you and belief that it’s true.
If I go about my day believing I am being guided in all I do then I am. When I shut it down and block it off I’m stuck in my head. I really don’t like that feeling anymore and it’s so much more fun and magical to be in tune with the non-physical world. I’m still human but I believe anyone who can connect to the non-physical has an edge. I know that there is way more to what’s going on in every situation that what we as humans can possibly imagine.
To imagine that everything is flowing and happening with complete and divine purpose is a pretty tall order for humanity. The great thing is we don’t have to understand it…yet we so much want to. We only need to trust and believe that we are being guided….because we are, whether we know it or not.
When we don’t pay attention we will surly struggle and that’s part of our reason for being here. When you are done with struggling, suffering and being unhappy it’s still there waiting for you. Loving you, forgiving you, because it’s your reason for being here, to get lost and forget then begin remembering and find your way again. Many don’t and that’s ok, they will follow their path as it’s meant to be followed. We always have choice.
If you’re ready to look at it differently, learning to play with Spirit and my own intuition has really helped me get out of my head and into my heart. That’s why I created the Soul Adventure Game, because when I played and let my judgements go I could connect with my soul, I could feel what my truth was and I could receive divine messages.
I did have to own and stay in my authentic power, which is another topic, but when I put my barriers down to receive the guidance started to show up! I’ve had some pretty interesting experiences and I know without a doubt that there is way more to our life and this world than most of us can ever imagine.
It’s an adventure and it’s time to play if you’re up for it!
Come on out of your woo woo closet too and let’s do this together!
Namaste, Lorree
Besides impacting the lives of others to ‘be real and love life’ the most powerful thing about the work I get to do is the reflections of the teachings that come back to me. I always receive some type of wisdom, healing or blessing from the experience, whether it’s a private, group session or a speaking event.
Whatever the message is that I’ve conveyed I am somehow reminded of how it applies to me as well and it guides me towards the next stage of my growth.
Being aware of the subtle messages that are being sent to guide us forward is very empowering.
Last weekend at the Soul Full Day conference, I guided a group of 70 women through a visualization meditation to identify and let go of a fear story holding them back from what they truly wanted for their life, freedom to live their love story.
It was remarkable to witness them releasing the fear and claiming their love stories, seeing and feeling themselves living in the higher potential of their dreams.
This week I’ve been deeply reminded of the fear story that I’ve been carrying, ‘not being well enough to live a fulfilling life because my digestive health is failing’.
This is the same story my grandmother carried, and she died in fear with this story in her which was unconsciously passed on to me, and I accepted it.
For 8 years now I’ve been having various challenges with my digestive health. I’ve seen many different professionals and tried many different remedies and lifestyle changes. Some have worked and some haven’t. Over time things seemed to have mostly settled, then just a month ago the issues flared up again in a bigger way.
This brought up the old fear story for me as I prepare for a trip of a lifetime. I’m going to Egypt on a sacred pilgrimage to the visit the lands and ancient sites with 13 other women. This will be my first trip overseas and I’ve always been fascinated with Egyptian history, never thinking I would get the opportunity to visit until it showed up to me. I was very drawn to go, and decided I was going, even though it felt way outside my ability to be able to take such a trip.
Worries and a wide range of emotions have been coming up for me since these flare ups have been happening. My mind races and makes up stories based in old fears.
What if I am not well enough to fully experience this trip? What if I am stuck in my room and miss the tours, or what if I am not able to digest the food there? All that disappointment and money spent if I might not be able to full experience it.
These stories are very similar to what my grandmother used to tell herself. She was afraid to go far from home, let alone on a plane to another country. Everything centred around her digestive limitations and she was petrified of having an ‘accident’ while out in public. These fear stories debilitated her and she became a hermit and was very lonely in her later years.
I will never forget seeing her in the final days of her life living in fear. I visited her almost every day and seeing her like that was very sad because there wasn’t much I could do other than comfort and reassure her that she would be ok.
What it did do was motivate me to face my own fears and not go down the same path as she did. In this regard, she was a great teacher to me and not long after she transitioned I was divinely guided to take the Radical Forgiveness Master Coach 10 day training in Atlanta.
It was a huge step for me, and again way outside my comfort zone, but in the end it was one of the best things I could have done for myself because it set me on the trajectory of facing my fears, and the journey of living my love story.
I am eternally grateful to be on this path of self-forgiveness and self-acceptance just as I am, and in time I have learned to love myself. I’m still on this healing journey however this year I’ve had some major shifts in this area of my life and feel truly worthy and deserving of this love for myself because I have freedom from the fears.
This is where the synchronicity comes in again.
It just so happens that this Friday, the day I fly to Egypt, is the 9 year anniversary of my grandmother’s passing, and it’s a full moon! You just can’t make these things up. I didn’t realize the mysterious alignment of these dates until just a few weeks ago.
In numerology the number 9 represents endings and completions and I have a strong intuitive feeling that this trip is going to be transformational for me as a new beginning.
The other day when I was dancing my grandmother came to my mind, she was dancing with me, and I know she is leaving me these breadcrumb signs to follow to complete this stage of my journey. I made a promise to her that I was going to end the cycle of fear she carried and commit myself to healing into wholeness.
I have no doubt that this is all happening for me, rather than to me. And unlike my grandmother, I will face my fears and take this trip and I will trust in the divine unfoldment of it all.
I am reminded that everything is always working out for me, even if it doesn’t seem that way and she is cheering me on all along the way.
These are the same phrases I spoke to the women when I was on stage just a few days ago and they echo loudly in my mind as the beautiful blessings of having the freedom to live my love story.
If you would like to experience the guided visualization for yourself listen to the audio recording so you too can be free from your fear story and claim your love story.
In my next blog I will share about my travel adventures so stay tuned, and if you would like to be notified when I share it you can join my email Love Letter list at the bottom of this page.
Until next time… thank you for being here.
