GROUP EMPOWERMENT EXERCISE – SEND LOVE!
Huge changes are afoot for many people. These are times of change, adaptation
and the necessary intuitive task of building what you want from what you have.
Our group has spent the last week being grounded in what is, integrating the pieces of our life to empower us to live fully and move forward powerfully and attracting/shifting/transforming within to do all of this in the community of energy that we live in. When we learn to work with the energy (everything and everyone is energy) around us we are able to manifest what we intend quickly and in a manner that is healing to all. Each of us has our shadowed places where we have difficulty directing our intention clearly or experiencing ourselves comfortably or breaking a pattern that has been breaking us. When we are confronted with our worst fears, our weaknesses, the most challenging of our issues we know that we are almost to a meaningful achievement, the ability to master something that we have never been able to master/manifest before. This is often a point where we turn back and try to recreate what was even if what was, was, unsatisfying. This week, our group work is going to support you through the change to your New Reality.
This week, day and night, you will hold the entire group’s New Reality with LOVE. I will explain what I mean.
I saw an interesting video on what a group, sending love to a person, does to their blood cells! Now those of you who know me know that I like to see proof that an activity actually works. This was convincing to me. I thought what if all of us, thousands of people in this group, held each other and our New Reality, our wish come true in our loving thoughts for an entire week. How deeply that would connect us and what power it would give to the atoms of energy that what to organize in a way that is healing for us. Let us run this experiment now!
During the day, if you feel love easily go to that feeling, if not, if it is a time of difficulty where love, pure and simple, is hard to feel, go to a memory of pure love, an uncomplicated memory of that expansive, healing pleasure of pure love. I use the memory of when they put my son in my arms for the first time. It is easy for me to access and I can feel it with all of my senses. Choose your memory or memory library to use so that you can do this project even when in your moments of stress.
We will do this in 2 ways. During the day, as many times as you can, go to a state of pure, simple love and when you can feel it take your hands, palms facing each other and hold them a few inches apart. In whichever way you experience most easily, put everyone in the group, in their New Reality between your hands and as you breathe simply allow the love to flow through your body and into the space between your hands where we all reside. Remember to include yourself!!
You can do this for a moment many times a day. It doesn’t have to be obvious. You can do it on the train, as you are speaking to your friend, as you are doing the dishes. Do this frequently and allow it to become an easy part of your day. As always, when you can, document what you notice and the changes that occur in your life. What you document will reveal you to yourself and give you a map for your life, It will also show you the accuracy of your own intuitive information and allow you to trust yourself, the most important person for you to love and trust!
At night, as you are falling asleep, give yourself the suggestion that you will let your guard down to receive the love/healing that is coming your way and you will connect to the world by the sending of love. Suspend disbelief long enough to allow your life to change. As this energy reorganizes you it will reorganize your life.
As always, your re-tweets, face book re-posts and comments are appreciated!
TOGETHER WE ARE STRONG!
Love (and conscious love to the power of infinity this week),
Laura

This is beautiful!!!! So grateful to be able to participate in this powerful practice of sending love… !!!
“When we are confronted with our worst fears, our weaknesses, the most challenging of our issues we know that we are almost to a meaningful achievement, the ability to master something that we have never been able to master/manifest before.
This is often a point where we turn back and try to recreate what was even if what was, was unsatisfying.”
This timing is SOOO perfect! Thank you!
And thank you for explaining the ‘exercise’ so clearly.
I have almost finished reading your book “How to rule… couch”. I appreciate it very deeply.
Lots of love and joy,
Paola
Thank you. Sometimes when you are not getting a read there are some wild factors afoot
A. The answer you want, the way you want it doesn’t exist
B. You do not have the tools to interpret the language you are getting the answer in, in which case document and give it to someone else to interpret.
C. If the person you are reading has a unique brain style and it is different from your own, you may want to use mediumship to better understand their perspective.
D. Any crucial message or experience you will get another way, through another channel. There are very few last chances in life.
This is, of course, an incomplete answer. I think that you may find some answers in Welcome To Your Crisis!

Laura
Laura and everyone within the circle…thank you for this! I am so happy to feel this love energy and send it out to the group. You explain things so easily and what a gift to be able to go to a place of concentrated love many times a day!
Sending lots of love and care!
Dear Laura,
Paola, one swetie pie of the forums, suggested me to ask yoy about a difficult question. I’m fluid in almost all readings, but regarding this subject I’m totally lost and stuck. I’ve reformulated the questions a hundred times and I only get an anxious feeling of incompletion and derailing every time.
This subject is deeply related to the wild changes and healing going on in my life lately.
Any idea of how can I state the question to get an effective reading.
M.I.P is a surgeon, very shy, quite an Asperger genius. Emotionally blocked but I feel that he did his best to deliver an emotional message I didn’t get. What keeps me stuck is the powerful sensation that in some way this is crucial for the rest of my life.
Thank you. Love you.
Paz
What is my soul purpose in relation to M.I.P?

Ah! I see…
Interesting. Maybe you can ask Laura what is the way to approach this kind of question.
Then, let us know!
Laura,
I love this post so much and I will hold this love in my hands for the group as we create a brave new reality for ourselves.
Love,
Marlene
I miss you girl!
oh Laura….. so powerful…. how do you do this?! you have such an incredible gift of empowering people. thank you… i’m getting kicked out of the country (talk about big shifts) but i will be back in a month should the fates, and my new reality, allow. THANK YOU for this powerful message. i love just holding the group in love in healing. thank you for sharing your gift so generously with so many people and empowering us all together.
I hold the intent for your swift and safe return. You give so much to this site. xo
Love,
Laura
I had a great insight on the previous exercise. When you talked about the difference between awareness and insistence. I have a work situation where I discovered that apart from being aware and acting upon the intuitive information I got, I was also sending huge amounts of anger because I felt the other party was not doing things the way I wanted them. That was a waste of energy! Now I try not to insist on the hows, but trust that the action I took (without the anger) will solve the situation.
Wow, hanging on to old emotions is a drainer!
Thanks for the new exercise- will participate!
I have found the most amazing community — and a different sense of self. Who is this person I am becomming? I like her alot!
The challenge was the becomming, and now the challenge is being.
There is no greater transformative power than love.
Thank you Laura
I agree
I hate to sound like a cliche but “Love is all there is”
Love,
Laura
Laura –
I am having some trouble and feel like I cant help but intellectualize my responses to various exercises. I know I will get better with practice but I was wondering what your opinion on hypnosis is. I know hypnosis can cure a lot of bad habits and at the same time help people acquire better ones. Would you suggest hypnosis as a means to more easily (and perhaps more quickly) strengthen and trust your intuition?
Thanks!
It may work however the most effective way to make your intuition strong and useful is to document your responses and allow your conscious mind to see how accurate you are. This will allow your subconscious to give it more and more of a change and your intellect to be used in the important task of applying the information you receive.
I am not big on trusting things that haven’t proven themselves. You do not have to trust your intuition. It works, if you document you will have the proof and then you will use it more easily!
Love,
Laura
(Translation)
Enormes cambios están en marcha para muchas personas. Estos son tiempos de cambio, de adaptación
y la tarea intuitiva y necesaria de construir lo que tu quieres con lo que tienes.
Nuestro grupo ha pasado la última semana cimentandose en lo que es, integrando las piezas de nuestra vida para que nos dé el poder de vivir plenamente y avanzar con fuerza y atrayendo/cambiando/transformando internamente para hacer todo esto en la comunidad de la energía en la que vivimos. Cuando aprendemos a trabajar con la energía (todo y cada uno de nosotros es energía) a nuestro alrededor somos capaces de manifestar lo que pretendemos con rapidez y de una manera que es sanadora para todos. Cada uno de nosotros tiene lugares sombreados en los que tenemos dificultades para dirigir nuestra intención claramente o para experimentarnos a nosotros mismos cómodamente o para romper una pauta que nos ha estado destruyendo.
Cuando confrontamos nuestros peores miedos, nuestras debilidades, el más desafiante de nuestros problemas, sabemos que casi estamos ante un logro significativo, la capacidad de dominar algo que nunca antes hemos sido capaces de dominar/manifestar. Esto es a menudo un punto en el que regresamos y tratamos de recrear lo que existio, incluso si lo que existio, fue poco satisfactorio. Esta semana, el trabajo en grupo te va a apoyar mediante el cambio a tu Nueva Realidad.
Esta semana, de día y de noche, mantendremos la Nueva Realidad de todo el grupo con AMOR. Les explicare lo que quiero decir.
Vi un interesante vídeo en el que un grupo, le envío amor a una persona, y el efecto que esto causo a las células de su sangre! Ahora, aquellos de ustedes que me conocen, saben que me gusta ver la prueba de que una actividad realmente funciona. Esto fue muy convincente para mí. Pensé ¿qué pasaría si todos nosotros, las miles de personas en este grupo, nos abrazamos mutuamente y tambien a nuestra Nueva Realidad, nuestro deseo hecho realidad en nuestro pensamientos amorosos por toda una semana. Nos conectariamos profundamente y que poder le daría a los átomos de la energía para organizarse de una manera que es curativa para nosotros. Vamos a llevar a cabo este experimento ahora!
Durante el día, si sientes amor fácilmente ve a esa sensación, si no, si se trata de un momento de dificultades donde el amor, puro y simple, es difícil de sentir, ve hacia un recuerdo del amor puro, un recuerdo sin complicaciones de ese expansivo, placer curativo del amor puro. Yo uso el recuerdo de cuando pusieron a mi hijo en mis brazos por primera vez. Es fácil para mí el acceso y puedo sentirlo con todos mis sentidos. Elije usar tu memoria o la biblioteca de tu memoria de modo que tu puedas hacer este proyecto, aun cuando estes en tus momentos de estrés.
Haremos esto en dos maneras. Durante el día, tantas veces como puedas, ve a un estado de amor puro, sencillo y cuando lo puedas sentir, toma tus manos, con las palmas frente a frente y mantienlas a unos centímetros de distancia. De la manera que tu lo sientas más fácilmente, pon a cada uno en el grupo, en su Nueva Realidad entre tus manos y mientras respiras simplemente permite que el amor fluya a través de tu cuerpo y en el espacio entre tus manos donde todos residimos. Recuerda incluirte a tí mismo!
Tu puedes hacer esto por un momento muchas veces al día. No tiene por qué ser obvio. Usted puede hacerlo en el tren, mientras hablas con un amigo, mientras lavas los trastes. Hazlo frecuentemente y permitele volverse en una parte facil de tu dia. Como siempre, cuando puedas documenta lo que notas y los cambios que ocurren en tu vida. Lo que tu documentas te revelara a ti mismo para ti mismo y te dara un mapa para tu vida, tambien te mostrara la exactitud de tu propia informacion intuitiva y te permitira confiar en ti mismo, ya que tu eres la persona mas importante a la que debes amar y confiar!
Por la noche mientras te estas quedando dormido, sugestionate de que dejaras la guardia baja para recibir el amor/sanacion que viene hacia a ti y que te conectaras con el mundo enviandole amor.
Suspende la incredulidad por un tiempo suficiente para permitir que tu vida cambie. Mientras esta energia te reorganiza, tambien reorganizara tu vida.
Como siempre, sus re-tweets, reposteo en facebook, y sus comentarios son apreciados!
JUNTOS SOMOS FUERTES!
Con amor (y amor consciente hacia el poder infinito esta semana)
Laura.
I missed you!
I hope you are well and I am sending you so much Love!
Love,
Laura
I am fine, thank you so much for caring.
I am sending you love too!
Love,
Teresa
Hey Laura,
I just got home to Ireland after leaving Esalen 10 days ago…..thanks for the timely exercise and I would love to do this in group and support others and feel LOVE purely, deeply, madly. I am going to climb Croagh Patrick tomorrow an amazing pilgrimage in Ireland with my best friend and I know there will be many magic moments for me to bring my hands together and transmit and transmute love – I MISS you! xxx
…this will be my tool for the transformation that i have been on the verge of, sending everyone a big hug.
Laura……….il calore del nostro amore è in movimento:
“la talpa non lo sa, ma scava in una determinata direzione”……………lavoro (su di me) e osservo (con nuovi occhi)questo periodo delicato e pieno di emozioni forti……(mi chiedo se ce la farò )…..
I plunge into the stream
love, tenderness, a sense of infinity
I’m into these days
now I understand
I’ll let this energy pass through every change of my cell to share with you
love
Going to bed so full of love…I see this is my greatest birthday gift…to love and be loved. Thank you Laura for your guidance and being the solid foundation of our Circle. On this birthday of mine, I send you wishes of happiness and healing as you have helped me, with your love, in a sense of being born once again–I like to see it as letting my phoenix fly–into my NR. I celebrate this past year as it has been a year where I became present in my New Reality!! I continue to act into this next year of my life and my NR.Next to my mom, Laura, I really do celebrate you!!
Full of love, Sheri
This is powerful. I also used the memory about my son when he was first born, as that was the most powerful love I have felt, and held everyone’s new reality, including mine with that strong feeling. We are all connected and I feel it. Yesterday, I bought myself some beautiful flowers for my birthday, just because I wanted to show myself I cared about me and wanted to give myself a present. Within hours, I was given flowers from a friend I had not seen in years and another relative brought me a beautiful bouquet. My apartment is now glowing with brightness and beauty. I documented this. Last night I wrote myself a blank check for a huge amount of money.
I love reading the comments here and think of you all when I embody that memories of love.. Judy
Thank you for really embracing this and sending us all your love
xo
I have been practicing the exercise- I find it really easy to feel the energy between my palms! I also feel the obstacle to love coming up in my awareness- in this case: I want to be right! Hmmm…between love and being right, why does being right have such a strong hold? Will be working on this.
Being right makes us feel safe. The thing you need to notice is you are safe even when you are wrong and sometimes being wrong has some very good outcomes.
I already had very good results yesterday. I was in a love conflict and it resolved effortlessly. It was so much easier than I had feared. My love called me. He was sensitive and great. My being right just melted away. I sent love to this issue, as well as to the group. Loooooove to you all.
Thnk you, Laura.
I’ve been doing the anger type protocol for two months (lots of layers) and I’m starting to think that the powerful stuff here is directly related to intuition itself, to the disempowring of it as inner business, by trying to second guess it through others’ readings.
I know my intuition is accurate about M, but I fear a new encounter and I’m looking for excuses not to face it.
Asperger/genius types are withdrawn and they trigger a lot of anxiety in me.
The good thing is that he also triggered tremendous unconditional love in me, too. I’ll feel through this. Moment to moment.
Love.
I tend to think moving away from pain as opposed to moving toward it in relationships is usually best
It took me a long time to learn that one myself
xo
This is truly wonderful. I have had some very difficult moments lately, and this exercise is an excellent reminder of where to put my energy on a moment to moment basis when I get stuck in the stuckness/difficulty of it all. Thank you so much Laura and also to the group for healing.
Love.
What a wonderful way to spend a week in the love of everyone. My new reality is closer everyday but somedays are harder than others and now my 14 year old is feeling the loss also which makes it harder but I still know its for the best and he will be just fine as we all will.. I join with each one of you and myself to feel the love..Together we are strong!! Love DJ xoxo
Learning to grieve as a young person allow appropriate risk taking in the future. If you can’t grieve you can’t risk. Use this time to teach your child how to feel and take breaks from feeling. Use creativity to sublimate some of the pain and simple contact to nourish. Especially with a 14 year old you can share your grief, your knowledge that you are someone who can make it all work out (your faith in self and world) and your gratitude for having a person (your child) to share this important transformation with.
My son and I went through this as well and then he had his first heartbreak and a year later a move to college and I am stunned by his ability now to “take the hits” and move on stronger and better! He knows how to grieve. I wish someone had modeled this for me earlier in my own life!
Thanks for the great advice and I am working with him but unfortunately he is just like I always was and he hides everything. I was always that way and have learned the hard way that its not good to hide the feelings as they come back later to haunt you. I will not allow him to be the same way as he does have a loving mother to help him learn to express himself and like you I wish I would of had that earlier in life.. Thank goodness we can change that now.. I also have been doing the exercise throughout the day and I could really feel the difference and what a great experience. Love DJ xo
Dear Donna,
In my experience it is a waste of energy to try to change someone else. Change you and the rest will sort itself out! When someone hides something I have learned not to look. Looking engages me in a way that is hurtful to me and they get my involvement dishonestly. I would leave it alone and use all of your amazing healing energy for you. Then, if and when he comes around you will heal by being healed.
One of my all time favorite quotes is
Healing is in the presence of the healer
In other words, it is not what we do but who we are that heals
Love,
Laura
Thank you and what a great quote. I have been sending the love all day and can feel the love coming back to back.. Love to all DJ xo
I just finished sending to you all for a full ten minutes. I hope you feel the change.
I am feeling the effect, even after a day in own life.
This has the potential to change all of our lives. Please put your whole heart and your discipline and intention in sending this whole group love, holding them/yourself between your hands as you send love and DOCUMENTING the effect in your own life by weeks end. I can’t wait to hear!
The more people who do this the more powerful it is. Spread the experience around!
xoL
I think I was doing this at the same time and I could really feel it. The first thing that happens when you are facing difficulties (for me, anyway) is that your heart closes down and you really have to make a conscious effort to feel inside and to open it–this is a wonderful exercise to keep me going. I look forward to see what happens today, as I keep going back to the place of holding and sharing the love.
sending more love now to all of you 🙂
I’m unsure if I’m being lazy and neglectful by enjoying life and going out. Kind of confused about this. I am getting the basics done but I worry I’m not putting enough energy into what was successful before.
Maybe you need to lighten up a bit and open up to the world so that you can allow new people in! This may be your work.
xoxoxoxooxox
Thank you Laura that is reassuring!
I know this sounds weird but I have a lot of people I really love in my life and I feel like if I let more people in I’ll have to let go of some of them.
Feeling the love today is so easy! This exercise is wonderful! breathing love to you all, in your new realities, over and over today!!
Laura this is so natural i wake up in the night and do it and then to linger in bed in the morning as long as possible to do it as much as possible.
this sending love and energy and healing seems such a natural fucntion now and so easy
thank you for reminding us that this is important .
this above all ther activities seems to embody something very special fo all of us…without having to use the mind to sort it out.

Dear Laura,
I just wanted to share a little joy my friend shared with me today.
My friend has been having a bad time at her office and has been really upset about it. So I’ve been, along with some other friends, have been sending love and lots of positive wishes her way. This past weekend, I even made her an animated PowerPoint show to help me focus on her (sometimes doing stuff like that is like praying or chanting for me).
Things are still crazy at work for her, but today during lunch she got the funniest surprise! She went to Chipotle and when she got her burrito there was a sticker on it. And then out of nowhere the workers burst out into a Mexican song. She really thought balloons and streamers would start coming down the ceiling…but that didn’t happen. However, she did get a free lunch! Then when she got back to her office, she received a thank-you card from a client with a Starbuck’s gift card!
Now that’s positive energy from the Universe. This has been a great exercise. I also noticed that at night, when I write all the love I wish to send out especially focusing on positive wishes towards people who have made me feel negative during the day, I feel a lot lighter the next day.
Thank you so much for this wonderful exercise!
Hmm… can I comment on your comment?
To me your experience feels very grounded and authentic. How wonderful for this friend to have a friend such as you. Powerful.
I completely agree with a preceeding comment. This ‘exercise’ feels so natural… and pleasurable… it’s like a kind, gentle instant of pause many times a day. Love it! And the more I do it, the more I can feel the love while sending it.
I completely agree. The more I bring love into the present, the more I am able to bring it up spontaneously.
Giving and sending love is a wonderful feeling. Seems to make me have a little smile all day! Feels like a special secret.
I’m loving this exercise. It’s been easy for me to feel the love for myself and others. What I’ve noticed is that all the Love has made me think of appreciation. I am having a hard time finding appreciataion for myself….. easy to find it for everyone and anyone else. Any suggestions?
For me, simply sending love, focusing on love, not compassion but love, has brought that love back to me. I have had an extraordinary week of bumping into people I love and viewing those who I have difficulty with or have been hurt by with understanding and distance. This simple shift has helped me love myself and understand the areas where I need others to love me in ways I cannot love myself. An amazing experience of doing something simple and having a complex series of events and understanding emerge from it.
What a wonderful exercise to repeat as a sacred ritual consciously.
Thanks for keeping this alive and dynamic…
The power of this Circle is so healing.
