Ordinary life is spiritual life!
Dear Circle,
I read all of your e-mails and many of you have had a very hard few months. What strikes me the most about our Circle is your efforts to maintain your humanity even when your challenges are so great that they feel inhuman.
Healing practices like meditation, good diet, exercise, laying on of hands, prayer (and so many more) help give you the strength to use the most difficult experience to grow and heal as well as to heal others. It is easy to forget that the spiritual work is not in the practice but in the courage to deal with the everyday challenges of being human.
I ask you all to join together this month to honor and strengthen your human practices. Your ability to be kind in every situation (especially to yourself), your acknowledgement of the good job you are doing even when you feel you are doing it imperfectly, the amazing resourcefulness that it takes for you to attend to the many, many details of daily living from brushing your teeth to planning your next career move. Transcendence is the “commercial break” the elbow grease of spirituality is attending to daily living and relationships with integrity.
Intuition allows you to get more information and have more impact, using The One, the energy that we all share. That same Oneness can allow you to be victimized by other peoples needs, demands and judgements. Remember to do the parts in HOW TO RULE THE WORLD FROM YOUR COUCH and THE CIRCLE where you fill yourself with… YOU so that you can direct the energy of The One towards your own goals.
I often hear doubts from you about whether your goals are spiritual or worthy. Your goals are simply symbols that you choose to organize your resources for growth. When you embrace a goal, you embrace life. Often you may not understand, at the outset, why a particular goal is important to you and you worry about being selfish or not spiritual enough. You are a spiritual being. Everything you do is spiritual. Good people achieve their goals using humanistic means. If you are even asking yourself if your goal is “selfish” or “spiritual” you are a person with integrity and goodness. Embrace your goals, trust yourself and join with the energy we all share, the energy of The One to create your goals in your life. As you create your own goals you will be creating a better world for others.
Give yourself the suggestion that with every inhalation you will draw helpful resources, people and experiences to you and with every exhalation you will send the energy of your goal into the world to be felt and responded to by others. Allow yourself to experience the power and love of the interconnected universe we live in. Please bring others into our Circle by re-tweeting, sharing on your social media and creating your own groups to use “COUCH’ and ‘THE CIRCLE” to share intuition and healing in community.
I will be posting more free workshops in the next few months so please check the site.
We join together as one community of energy to achieve our goals and honor our work to live each day with humanity!
TOGETHER WE ARE STRONG!
Love,
Laura Day
P.S.- Those of you who have been asking for a West Coast event, I have just scheduled one for the spring! I will post on the site and tweet as soon as the dates are firm. If you are interested in a one day intensive healing training please e-mail me at healingday@aol.com with the subject line “Healing Training” (New York and Los Angeles only). Boot Camp 2014 is posted on the site. Thank you all for the great healing work you have done the last few months on our healing list. Remember, I am the only one who reads your e-mails so if you make them short and to the point I can respond more effectively! I am honored to share your lives. As always, I ask healing for my lovely family, Samson,Caroline, Stephen(my husband of one month!), Oliver and myself.
that was beautiful. I appreciate the gentle reminder that we all are spiritual, despite why we question our goals. Joining in with my circle family to heal and ask for heals for my new reality. love and light.
When going towards your new reality, how do you deal with people’s doubts? Right now I feel like I have people on my case and lack of “proof” that my new reality is happening to argue my case. I know that soon the world will see me as I see me but until then how do you deal?
I think it is more difficult to deal with ones own doubts. I never throw away any information without looking at it first. Perhaps others doubts are hitting on something true that you need to investigate to move forward towards your New Reality in a powerful and informed manner. The more you allow yourself to feel others as helpful the more helpful they become. Of course there are always people with unkind, hidden agenda’s but if they were not hitting something you fear is true I don’t think your reaction would be to argue!
Remember, positive thinking does not help you see and resolve obstacles, negative thinking does not help you identify and meet opportunity . Empowered, realistic thinking is the way to go. See obstacles, transform obstacles! You can do it!
Is there a way to live that isn’t just okay but is truly alive and joyful while still doing all of the things you have to do over and over again?
Of course there is. You have just been working hard at something for a long time that has not turned out (yet) the way you want it to. However, this is leading you in some great alternate directions which were needed for your growth and , yes, happiness. Who knows, in the end you may have it all!
Thank you! Would definitely be happy to have it all.
perfectly said and true
Laura,
I so respect your refusal to use the work we do to get a pass at living life responsibly. There is, in fact, a divinity to brushing one’s teeth. Just because there’s magic in the world, doesn’t mean elves will clean your stove. I’ve tried. They never showed up 😉 Now, I am working to brush my teeth and clean my stove on a regular basis. The magic resides in the fact that it gets so much easier once you actually dig in and do “it”. Thanks for being such an effective combination of mystical and realistical! P.S. Congrats on your marriage. Good vibes from Minneapolis headed your way!
Thank you for the kind words and the good vibes! I am loving being Mrs. Schiff!
Laura- there is so much going on in my life I have trouble getting clear and knowing what to do. Between finding my own direction and purpose, my marriage and chronic worry about my young boys. I don’t know what to do or where to turn but something has got to give. I need to feel progress and purpose as well as get off the emotional roller coaster. I feel lost.

Welcome to your Crisis will help you find your inner resources to juggle effectively as it is clear that juggle you must! The Circle will keep you on track with your personal goals. Sometimes life is too busy and confusing to “know” however if you set your automatic pilot by managing your Crisis type and having a New Reality in The Circle you will get where you need to go without over thinking it. Also, it helps to do the group work (lauradayintuit@twitter) which allows the powerful group energy to help clear the way for you and allows you to be of service to many (by healing in return) as you juggle. I would address the chronic worry first as it takes up most of the emotional and intuitive space!
I am sending you healing now for calm clear sight and an easy path to your goal
Warmly,
Laura
Hi Laura ~ I read in your book, How to Rule the World From Your Couch, that it is possible to add healing to the food that we prepare. That idea really resonates with me. Even the act of preparing food each day is spiritual, right? Do you have any suggestions on how to test if the intention to add healing to food makes a measurable difference? Or do you have any resources you recommend that I check into for more information? Thank you!
There is a lot of research that demonstrates that if you send healing energy to your food it heals you! In the lab the combination of intention and visualization almost doubles the effectiveness of the healing. As it doesn’t “cost” you anything to try it I wouldn’t worry about the research unless you are interested in it. Healing is in both The Circle and How to Rule the World from your Couch.
Laura; sometimes i worry that I have folded too many goals into my new reality. You have written that focusing on one most wished for goal can be the doorway for other goals to come to fruition; i find I have a hard time trusting that (and I am doing really good work on reducing my anxiety type
Try finding the common thread in all of your goals and then putting them under one heading. Finding coherence with the goals in your life is an important step to achieving them. Working on crisis type is a lifelong challenge. Take it from your anxiety sister!

Such a lovely and clear way to view the collection of rituals and skills and actions we must integrate to create a balanced reality that you as ever for your love.
Thanks for these beautiful blog posts. It’s almost as if your words are like warm, cozy blankets being wrapped around our hearts. The love is both palpable and practical. I am so grateful…keep them coming!!!
SO much in this message to remember and practice, especially the call to self care as a spiritual journey is profound and could potentially create a ripple effect of good in the world. thank you!
When I do body heat telepathy on “the man of my dreams” I don’t get much feeling besides a few images and feeling blocked but when I do body heat telepathy on a guy I feel warm and alive. Any idea of what’s going on?
This speaks so loud and clear to me…
Love your energy, looking forward to read your books 🙂
Many blessings and Love
Thank you!
